Thank You, Truckers!: Canada's Heroes & Those Who Helped Them Kindle Edition

by DONNA LAFRAMBOISE (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

First came the truckers, then came those who helped. The support brigade; the boots on the ground. Canada’s Freedom Convoy protest was seismic. Police thought five trucker convoys were headed to Ottawa in January 2022. When thirteen showed up, their traffic plan collapsed.

Meet twenty truckers who drove from British Columbia in the West, Nova Scotia in the East, and many places in between. Some were tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, assaulted, and arrested. Some had their trucks vandalized and seized, their bank accounts frozen.

Support for this scrupulously peaceful protest poured in from all directions. A tsunami of supplies, equipment, and volunteers: fuel bootleggers, Manitoba Hutterites, mechanics, farmers, cooks and chefs. The mega donor from New Brunswick. The Quebec bouncy castle mama. The former Snowbird pilot. Unforgettable people, events, testimonies.

The Convoy changed lives. It changed Canada. Many answered the call. Millions were saved from despair.

    5.0 out of 5 stars In important and readable historical record of Government intimidation and overreach.
    Reviewed in Australia on 5 March 2025

    Ever since the beginning of the Canadian Trucker’s Convoy I have been following the almost daily emails from Donna Laframboise detailing the struggles of the Truckers and their supporters against a recalcitrant Canadian Government, the Police and the left wing media. I am delighted that she has now compiled all this and more into this volume which I received yesterday. To reduce printing costs no photographs have been included with the text but imagine my delight to discover, at the end of each chapter, a QR code that can be scanned with a phone or iPad to show a series of photographs relevant to each chapter. What a great idea to reduce printing costs but still give access to the important photographic record of this prime example of government intimidation, overreach and bastardry. Well done Donna.

    Thank you, Truckers! quilts a love story of everyday people: mechanics; chefs; first responders; farmers; freedom fighters. The chapters interweave like a dance. Each story introduces me to new people I feel I already know.
    To the author, Donna Laframboise:
    Thank you for reporting on this, for being a clear and reasoned voice of calm.
    You gave the Freedom Convoy a heartbeat. Your book will ensure this is not another hidden part of Canada's history.
    "This book is Canadian history. Heroes walk amongst us."

    5.0 out of 5 stars An eye-opener of a book, especially for a Brit.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2025

    Great book offering insights from the truckers who converged on Ottawa to protest against the ridiculous COVID restrictions that damaged their livelihoods, the huge support they received from a beleaguered Canadian population, and the kindness and generosity of so many. I hope we never have to see these same restrictions ever again or witness the damage it did, but I'm sure we can take heart from the stories in this book and know how to deal with it in the future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unbiased and Factual!

    Great read. Multi facet coverage of the Canadian Truckers Convoy in Ottawa. With the massive amount of trucks and semi trucks, the author interviews are a great cross section of drivers and families during their non violent protest of the “dictatorship type edict” of all Canadians must be vaccinated against the Coronavirus. The overwhelming support from the citizens of Canada and Ottawa provided help and encouragement as stated in the many chapters in this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Do not miss this essential historic record
    Reviewed in Canada on 27 February 2025

    The Trucker Convoy in Canada was a miraculous, organic event, never to be duplicated. You couldn't have planned anything quite like it.
    Canadian media decided in advance that it was A Bad Thing and their coverage was nasty, biased and untruthful. They missed the big beautiful story entirely.
    For Canadians who were not involved, either in the protest itself, or in the suffering inflicted on the unvaccinated by lockdowns, these convoy stories will be a major shock.
    In reality, it was a peaceful, creative, unifying beautiful coming-together of wildly diverse people who found amazing ways to support one another, lift up residents of the government town that was ground zero for gaslighting and suppression, and shine a light that was seen worldwide.
    The stories so deserve to be told. Readers will thrill to many of them, sob over others. It's a very emotional read that had me saying, 'Did we really come through all that?!' As time passes, it all seems more and more unbelievable, and that is why Donna's book is such an important record of a seat-of-the-pants event that showed over and over, that truckers and their supporters are true hearts, great problem-solvers, and big big thinkers. They are also hilariously funny.
    This book has a huge heart.
