European MP who backed Freedom Convoy to tour Canada
By Connor McDowell
A European politician who rebuked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in front of the European Union Parliament last year has announced a Canadian tour to meet the people she says are the bravest in the world.
German MEP Christine Anderson has booked tour venues in Alberta, Quebec and Ontario this February because she says she has grown fond of Canadians since seeing their resistance to what she describes as a totalitarian regime in Canada.
“Canadian truckers, they just stood up,” she said in an interview with Rebel News on Friday. “And they just said ‘No, we’re not going to put up with this. We will fight for […] our freedom.’ That takes a lot of courage, and a lot of bravery. I was so impressed by that.”
Anderson’s tour begins on February 18 in Calgary with later stops in Toronto, Whitby and Montreal.
Last March, Anderson received international media attention when she harshly criticized Trudeau during his trip to speak at the European Union Parliament in Brussels.
