FRANK, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – The Canadian Armed Forces veteran walking from Canada’s west coast to the nation’s capital of Ottawa to “take our freedoms back” crossed into Alberta on foot this week.
CAF veteran James Topp crossed the 1,000-kilometer (621-mile) threshold of his journey toward Ottawa in protest of COVID mandates, according to a report by True North Centre.
The veteran, inspired by and in support of the anti-COVID mandate “Freedom Convoy” protesters, began his 4,395-kilometer (2,731-mile) trek in late February, starting at the Terry Fox monument in downtown Vancouver with his final destination set as the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa.
Topp, who served for 28 years in the Canadian military, launched a website that features a live GPS showing where he is at all points of the journey.
His social media account shows that his final destination, located near Parliament Hill, has a projected walking time of 872 hours, which totals over 36 days straight on foot.
