<p>On Sunday, Freedom Convoy organizers Benjamin Dichter, Tamara Lich, and Chris Barber held a press conference, and Lich broke down in tears when discussing the help that Canadians across the country had offered to the truckers in their odyssey across the country.</p>
<p>A reporter commented, “I know a lot of people have kind of given up on humanity in general over the course of all this, but for myself personally, on the convoy out here, at the stop, seeing people going around giving out boxes and boxes of hearty sandwiches , bags made up, It had us in tears, bags with kids drawing notes for the truckers, writing them letters on cookies &#8230;”</p>
<p>Lich, tearing up, replied, “It was so moving. That’s going to make me emotional. We had so many people that would come up and hug us and just say, tell their stories of how they lost everything, or their mother died alone. This lady, she was from Ontario; she had a 12-year-old boy who has muscular dystrophy, and he was rapidly losing the mobility in his hips because he couldn’t go to a swimming pool for his swimming therapy.”</p>
<p>“But underneath all those stories that are so heartbreaking is just this determination and this resilience of the Canadian people,” she then asserted. “I mean, we’ve already won, because look at all those people out there yesterday. I’ve never seen so many smiles, right? Everyone’s got hope again. Everyone’s feeling pride to be Canadian, which is something that we haven’t felt for so long, which is really important. So in that sense, we’ve already won.”</p>
<p>A reporter asked, “Do you think this was more of a cultural moment in Canadian history than it was political?”</p>
<p>Lich and Harper answered, “Absolutely,” as Dichter nodded.</p>
