In researching the situation with The Coutts 4 for a future article to be published in Newsweek, it has come to my attention that the men are being tortured and abused even more than I was initially aware. Extended periods of solitary confinement and denial of necessary medical treatment are but two of the abuses being heaped upon Canada's most infamous political prisoners, and one of their advocates joins Voice Of GO(r)D to fill us in on the disheartening and disgusting details.
Nikki Thom is a lifelong friend and business associate of Anthony (Tony) Olienick, one of four men arrested by RCMP at the Coutts, Alberta, border crossing during Freedom Convoy demonstrations in February 2022. Nikki very graciously joined the show to discuss the complete and utter abandonment of these men, and the contemptuous disregard for their health and basic standards of care which are typically afforded all other prisoners.
Please listen carefully to this discussion, and then take the time to share this episode, or better yet, send it to the various authorities listed below; it is beyond time for them to start doing their jobs.

Thank you for taking the time to write, and for caring.
If you would like to hear more about the situation with these men, please listen to (and share) my discussion with one of their advocates, Margaret ‘Granny’ Mackay -
And in case you missed it, I published an article on the situation in Newsweek; funny how it took an American Magazine to discuss Canada’s dirtiest laundry.
Another alternative media outlet where you can stay informed on the situation with the Coutts 4 is independent journalist Jason Lavigne’s show, Good Morning with Jason on Rumble, and below on YouTube.
If you happen to be in the position to spare a few bucks for a worthy cause, Margaret Mackay has organized a GiveSendGo for the men’s legal defense; every dollar counts and is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for caring and for standing up for what is right, and for what Canada used to be. Please share this far and wide, as the Canadian media are the worst bootlicking shitbags imagineable, and will not discuss this situation whatsoever.
