    In this episode, we ride along with Chris Barber, a long-haul truck driver, self-employed owner of CB Trucking, and notably, one of the central figures in the Canadian Freedom Convoy 2022 protest. Based out of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Chris balances the demands of his career with his family life as a husband and father of two. His faithful sidekick, Skippy, often accompanies him on his journeys.Chris gained global attention as an organizer of the Freedom Convoy, a protest movement that challenged vaccine mandates and perceived government overreach. Alongside key participants like Brigitte Belton, Tamara Lich, Pat King, James Bauder, and former RCMP intelligence officer Daniel Bulford, Chris's actions fueled a significant dialogue that continues to resonate today.In the course of the protest, Chris was arrested near Parliament Hill in February 2022, triggering a chain of events that led to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoking the Emergency Act—a move that stirred substantial controversy over its implications for civil liberties. Chris later testified in the Public Order Emergency Act inquiry, which concluded in 2023 that the government's use of the act was justified, albeit marred by policing failures.The fallout from the convoy and the broader government response to the pandemic continue to be hotly debated, attracting comments from national figures such as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, provincial leaders like Daniel Smith, and international voices including German MEP Christine Anderson.Join us as we delve into these topics and more. Please note that we experienced some minor internet connection issues during this episode, but we've worked diligently to ensure that the content remains engaging and informative despite these hiccups. Tune in for an enlightening conversation with Chris Barber, a man at the heart of a pivotal moment in Canadian history.Thank you for listening.

    Episode# 68 With Citizens Take Action Tygh, Kirk & Steve.

    Citizens Take Action. Dawson Creek, B.C. Website: https://www.dccitizenstakeaction.com/Welcome to this week's episode of "Community Watch", where we discuss various community watch groups and their efforts to make their neighborhoods safer. Today, we're focusing on a newly created community watch group based in Dawson Creek, called Citizens Take Action. This group was created out of a need and desire for a community watch group in Dawson Creek and has since expanded and grown in British Columbia, including Fort St. John. Their mission is to restore peace of mind to the community by helping to reduce crime and holding the RCMP and local governments accountable. Their goal statement is to foster a safe and secure community that everyone can be proud of. We had the opportunity to speak with members of Citizens Take Action and discuss a wide range of topics. We talked about the local and provincial crime, the positive and negative response to the group from the public, government, and businesses, the group's growth, their core values, and more. One of the most interesting aspects of our conversation was the group's approach to reducing crime in the community. Instead of relying solely on law enforcement, they have taken a proactive approach by working with businesses and community members to identify potential safety hazards and address them before they become a problem. We also discussed the challenges the group has faced in its growth and expansion. While they have received overwhelming support from the community, they have also faced criticism from some who feel their efforts are unnecessary or misguided. We talked about how they have responded to this criticism and the steps they are taking to continue to build trust with the community. Finally, we discussed the core values of Citizens Take Action and how these values guide their work. These values include respect, accountability, and community involvement. We talked about how these values have helped to shape the group's approach to community safety and their interactions with law enforcement and local government. Overall, our conversation with members of Citizens Take Action provided valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of creating a community watch group. Their efforts to make their community safer and more secure are an inspiration to us all. We hope you enjoyed this episode of "Community Watch" and look forward to sharing more stories of community activism in the future.Thank you for listening.
