Bearing Witness for Liberty

A Conversation with Donna Laframboise

Transcript

The Freedom Convoy protest in early 2022 was a significant development in Canada’s reaction to the supposedly well-meaning but oppressive COVID-19 regime. The protest inspired millions in Canada and abroad. Independent journalist Donna Laframboise has set out to capture the stories and experiences of ordinary Canadians who participated in the protest. Given the false "official" narrative to vilify the protesters, preserving the stories and experiences of the participants in their own voices is a crucial endeavour to understand correctly what took place and why. Present and future Canadians will benefit from Laframboise’s courage to bear witness.

Discussion about this podcast

Thought Farming

Thought Farming addresses issues of politics and culture in Canada from a Prairie perspective. We talk about critical issues in our lives as citizens. These will include questions related to policy and politics, economics and markets, culture and history, technology and faith, and whatever we find in the in-betweens. We will have open and frank discussions and we'll occasionally slay the odd sacred bovine here and there.

The podcast has three feature components:

1. Conversations: a space to discuss events and ideas with leading thinkers

2. Dissections: recordings of recently published op-ed pieces

3. Explorations: a space for quick reactions to leading issues.
