On the day we arrived on Parliament Hill, the temperature was -23 Celcius, before the wind chill. It felt like -40. As hearty Canadians, we were dressed nice and warm as we prepared to stand on the steps of Parliament to hold our peaceful rally in unity for our country. We wanted Justin Trudeau to hear our voices, unfortunately, he shunned us.
What our Prime Minister did that cold February day to the hundreds of law abiding Canadian’s was disrespectful to not only those who supported, and made that journey, it was disrespectful to all.
Seeing grown men who had lost everything, standing there crying after their journey that brought them to Parliament Hill, touched my heart like no other.
The organizers of United We Roll applied for, and were granted permits to rally on Parliament Hill. Everyone who was in attendance respected the law, the place we were at and each other. It was a peaceful rally to get our Prime Minister to hear us.
We were in total disbelief when we found out that the Prime Minister had ordered the stage and speakers we had a permit for, removed from the steps of Parliament, where we were to rally. He ordered fences to be erected around a deep snowy area to the left of the walkway that lead to the Parliament steps which were shoveled, and the steps sat empty. We were herded like cattle into the snow filled, fenced pen.
I will never forget walking by the flame on the sidewalk that leads towards the entrance and being stopped by a police officer. He told me had orders not to allow any of us to use the sidewalk. If we wanted to get close to the building, we had to walk into the fenced area, through the deep snow.
I told the officer I had a disability. One of my legs is encased in plastic up past my knee. I told him there was no way I could walk 2 yards let alone 200 yards in this snow. I was recovering from a brain Aneurysm/stroke 10 months earlier. Even after pleading with the officer, telling him how I needed to get to the staged area, that was no more, because I was to sing O’Canada for the United We Roll convoy, he still said, “No” He told me, “I am sorry Ma’am, but if you have any plans of making it to that area, you will have to do it by walking through the snow. I have strict orders not to let anyone of your group have access to the sidewalk.”

As I started to sing O’Canada, my heart swelled and tears escaped from my eyes, running down my face to my lips. I was crying because as I looked upon the hundreds of Canadians and reporters standing proudly and patriotically in the cold, I could not help but feel the love we share for our country. I also thought, ‘what kind of evil selfish person could be so heartless and inconsiderate to hundreds of Canadian’s? Many who travelled for four days, leaving behind their families, some who needed to be crowdfunded, because that’s how bad their situation is, and risking it all to be here, to get some hope for their tomorrow?’
I still ask myself, about the mean-spiritedness that is in this person’s heart, that would allow him to treat Canadians in this manner, all because these Canadians don’t fall in-line with his ‘vision’ of our country, Canada.
I found it difficult to sing, watching so many people patriotically holding their Canadian flags, while trying to balance themselves in the deep snow, huddled together to have their voices heard
