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.

And once you are done with that, take some time to write the men themselves - they need all the encouragement and support they can get.
