Canada Marches with Vet James Topp (TV Version)

Very few can claim the achievement of crossing Canada on foot or by wheelchair.

In 1984: Steve Fonyo crossed the nation and raised $14 million for Cancer research.

In 1986: Rick Hansen, crossed the nation by wheelchair to create awareness of the potential of people with disabilities and to find a cure for paralysis after spinal cord injury.

In 1991: Al Howie ran from St. John's, NL to Victoria, BC in 72 days, 10 hours and 23 minutes.

In 2002, Ann Keane ran from St. John's, NL to Tofino, BC in 143 days

In 1980: Terry Fox embarked on an east-to-west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. The spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest early and cancer ultimately took his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy that is recognized to this day.

Add to this list our guest this week. James Topp is a warrant officer with 28 years in the Canadian Armed Regular Force Infantry. Topp was recently placed on leave without pay and is currently in the process of being released under item code 5F, “unsuitable for further service”, due to his refusal to take the covid vaccine.

As a form of peaceful protest, he across Canada, meeting with federal leaders such as Pierre Poilievre, Dr. Leslyn Lewis, Roman Baber, Maxime Bernier and others to share his personal experience and advocate for others with similar stories. He joins us today to talk about why he felt to do this march at this time, the response he’s been receiving from Canadians, and what he hopes to accomplish long term.
