The North StateDiving Into CBC's Five-Year Plan ft. Luke LeBrunLast week, CBC released their 2025-2030 plan, their hopes and aims for the next five years.

The initial convoy movement was created to protest vaccine mandates for crossing the United States border, but later evolved into a protest about COVID-19 mandates in general. Beginning January 22, 2023, vehicles formed convoys from several points and traversed Canadian provinces before converging on Ottawa on January 29, 2022, with a...
