Yellow Vests - What began in France is spreading across Canada

The events unfolding in France are resonating with Canadians, so much so that is has spurred Yellow Vest protests across Canada.

While small, the movement is bigger than the Canadian media is portraying, as most outlets are misrepresenting and misconstruing what the movement is about. Many media outlets are simply ignoring the movement altogether.

Because the Yellow Vests Canada does not have one unique leader, many people with unrelated grievances joined the movement to bring a voice to their cause. As a result, the movement was quickly dismissed as little more than a pipeline protest.

But the movement is about so much more than pipelines. From carbon taxes, to immigration, to free speech; the narrative must be taken back if a co-ordinated effort is to succeed. Recently a proposal for a ‘Referendum Initiated by the Citizens’ has come to the forefront which may become a key principal everyone can unify around.

One thing is for sure. The movement is here to stay.
