Ukraine showing the world what a freedom fight really is


By Lethbridge Herald on March 9, 2022.

Editor:

This is a letter to all the so called “freedom fighters” who blocked border crossings and invaded and occupied our nation’s capital city. This was done over what you believe are infringements of your rights caused by covid mandates used to protect the health of you and your fellow citizens.

Now is the time for you to show that you truly believe in freedom. I encourage you to travel and make a journey by any means possible to Ukraine and see what real freedom fighters look like and help them deal with true oppression at the hands of a soulless psychopath, Vladimir Putin. 

You would be doing something infinitely more worthwhile than pathetically moaning about your perceived loss of freedom in Canada, one of the most free countries in the world. Instead of flying upside down Canadian flags often sullied with the swastika, as well as Confederate and Trump flags, support the blue and yellow of Ukraine.

Ukraine is showing the world the true meaning of the struggle for freedom!

Agreed….in consideration of the fact that these ‘freedom convoy’ actions are influenced by/actually are, the growing threat of the disturbing “Christian nationalism” movement…..thus, the contrast between that and the grim situation in Ukraine with death and injured, orphaned children, massive destruction…..what would Jesus say?
How many of the ‘freedom convoy’ organizers and participants even realize what is really going on with this Christian nationalism? Or, if they do, again, what would Jesus say to the so-called ‘christians?’ All done in the name of God or just plain ignorance?

old school

After the west spent 2 years locking citizens down at home,forcing shut down of businesses ,force injecting workers , masking children ,punishing dissidents with monetary penalties or imprisonment you imply we were free? Now you want us to support the neo-nazi flag waving associates of C. Freeland? And buy the way ,Mr Putin is upset with U.S. chemical weapons labs and NATO armaments set up in Ukraine contrary to agreements when the Warsaw Pact was rescinded.Might not justify an invasion for you but if we allowed a foreign power to build bio- weapons labs and set up nukes on our southern border ,how do you think the U.S. would respond?

well said. the matter is complicated, as the oligarchs fight it out for the spoils…always using the gullible peons to do the dirty work.

the premise of of the letter is as low as it gets. use the incredible misfortune of those in the ukraine to try and stump for one’s warped sense of “freedom.” talk about lowbrow and exploitative. why does not the writer and the cowardly supporters of the lowlife message themselves go to the ukraine? i am certain they would arrive to much fanfare, received as real heroes by the suffering ukrainians, who surely see freedom as having their body owned by govt. they would love your totalitarian take on freedom. they will bend over in ecstasy so as to receive your backward take on freedom as the giving over to govt the right to have ultimate ownership over one’s body. yes, freedom and having vaxes forced on them surely go hand in hand. it is egregious that free choice and one’s right to their conscience has nothing to do with your understanding of freedom. and, surely, the people of the ukraine will shed a tear or two of joy at the memory of how similar minded fascist thugs tried to assert ownership over choice and conscience just 80 years ago – you may know them by names like stalin – oh, especially stalin – mussolini, hitler, hirohito and tojo….
