The Canada Day Convoy
Canada Day, and there it was, a two-truck convoy of flag wavers, headed towards Ottawa. I immediately thought of last year’s lengthy occupation on Parliament Hill. I angled through traffic for a look at the flags, expecting them to propose, with a four-letter Anglo-Saxonism, an act of fornication with the prime minister; or to attack David Suzuki and his ilk for their annoying obsession with science. But no, this was no protest. It was a Canada Day love-in, in more ways than one. Both trucks proudly flew the Maple Leaf rampant and, beside it, a banner that read “I❤️Hot Moms.”
Inspired by stuff you see on the highway and Woodland Protocols for Canada Day.
