Today marks 10 days of an ongoing carbon tax protest west of Calgary
A handful of protesters on Highway 1, near the junction of Highway 22, have settled in for the long haul.
Looks like some people got inspired by the 2022 Ottawa Freedom Convoy!

They've brought their trucks and their trailers and their supplies, Freedom Convoy style, in an attempt to have their voices heard.

They’ve set up a surveillance trailer 500 yards from the protesters to monitor them (and likely to build a database of protesters using facial recognition software).

They're being crushed by Trudeau's inflationary carbon tax, the way so many Canadians are. On April 1st, the same day federal MPs gave themselves an $8,500 a year raise, Canadians saw the liberals green tax, which accumulates every step along the supply chain, jump from $65 per tonne to $85.
