On Thursday, September 7, the Conservative Convention commenced with its opening ceremony at the Centre des Congrès in Quebec City. The event featured a lineup of speakers, including several members of parliament and a veteran couple, Retired Lt.-Gen. Michel Maisonneuve and his wife, retired Maj. Barbara Maisonneuve, who delivered speeches.

Barbara and Michel Maisonneuve delivered an eloquent speech about Canada, our culture, and our heritage.

During her speech, Madame Maisonneuve gave a shout out to the Freedom Convoy, stating:

Canada deserves a common-sense Prime Minister who would unite us all, recognize, respect, and embrace the differences of this vast country. A Prime Minister who will create policies that make us all better off, one who will bring together his vision and ensure there is a place for every Canadian on his team.
