Leaders of conspiratorial ‘Save the Children Convoy’ end year-long protest by accusing one another of ‘smear campaigns’ and ‘disgraceful’ behaviour
All things must come to an end.
That includes the unlikely friendship between an Eastern Ontario farmer by the name of Chet Wiggins and a group of █████-adjacent anti-government conspiracy theorists who built a commune in his backyard.
[The convoy's earlier] activities also led Toronto Police to shut down parts of downtown Toronto last year while their daily protests at Parliament Hill in Ottawa led to several arrests and one man being tasered in the middle of Wellington Street.
But as winter approached, the group dug into a location up Concession Road 20 at a property owned by local farmer Chet Wiggins.
The free-spirited community came to a sudden end a few weeks ago, when unpaid hydro bills led to a falling out between Wiggins and the “freedom people.”
“They told us they would leave our property the way it was when they arrived last October 2023,” Chet Wiggins’ spouse, Danielle Goyette-Wiggins, wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post with photos showing a mess of garbage, rotting food and wrecked trailers strewn about her property.
Goyette-Wiggins’ post singled out several “freedom people” by name who had been camping out in their backyard, including Norman Blanchfield and Gordon Berry – two of the main leaders of the Save the Children Convoy.
According to Berry, the farm’s “screwy” power bills led to a “huge blow up” one night.
“Chet came out to the trailer and we were all sitting in the trailer and Chet actually basically just went off the rails on Norm,” Berry alleged in his livestream. “It turned into a massive fight, massive screaming match, all this kind of [poop], name-calling, threats, nose-to-nose, almost got physical.”
Goyette-Wiggins’ recollection of events is different. While she and Berry agree their relationship deteriorated after an altercation between Chet Wiggins and Norman Blanchfield, in her version of the story, she alleges it was the Save the Children Convoy leader who was the real aggressor.
“When we asked for hydro money, Norm took one of his sissy fits, screaming at Chet, threatening to punch him in the face and threatened our property also,” Goyette-Wiggins alleged to PressProgress.
Berry also took offence to being thrown under the bus by the “controlled op” groups and other leaders and influencers involved with the Save the Children Convoy.
“Ron Clark, Freedom George, Jason Lavigne,” Berry said, “given that we were all [extremely] in this together at one point, I would expect that at least you guys would have called.”
On their own livestreams, the other Save the Children Convoy personalities pointed fingers back at Berry and Blanchfield.
