Man who called Freedom Convoy supporters ‘dog sh**’ 'dies suddenly'
Ontario resident Alex MacKinnon died suddenly last month though a cause of death has not yet been released. He was 39.
“[I]t is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our loving friend Alex MacKinnon,” wrote a friend of MacKinnon’s on Facebook. “Almack was truly the best friend anyone could ever ask for. He cared about his family, friends, and dogs in a way that is indescribable.”
MacKinnon is perhaps best known on social media for his demands that people take the COVID-19 injections — which was his birthday wish in April 2021 — and his hatred for the Freedom Convoy activists and supporters.
The Freedom Convoy was a convoy of truckers who descended on Ottawa in February last year to peacefully protest Trudeau’s heavy-handed COVID-19 mandates. They achieved international popularity, including from billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and were arguably responsible for at least two provinces dropping vaccine mandates.
But MacKinnon seemed to align himself more with media operatives, who called the Freedom Convoy “the ugly side of freedom”.
“Friendly reminder as the truckers drive around schools and block the airport if you support them you are a literal piece of f*cking dog sh*t. You actually are,” MacKinnon posted to social media on February 11, 2022.
“Almack was a man who carried an unmistakable air of lightheartedness, radiated with his infectious laughter and loved spending time with the buds,” says a GoFundMe fundraiser for MacKinnon’s mother, Beatrice. “He would truly do anything for his loved ones and could always rely on his quick wit and honesty. His laugh, banter and friendship will be missed by many.”
“To his friends, Alex was a beacon of positivity and loyalty,” reads an obituary. “He had an innate ability to uplift their spirits, providing unwavering support during times of triumph or adversity. Alex’s friendly and approachable demeanor made him a trusted confidant, always ready to lend an ear or offer guidance. He possessed a remarkable capacity to see the best in others and motivate them to reach their full potential. His infectious laughter and radiant smile brought joy to those around him, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.”
Medical “experts” and media operatives have been using the term Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) to explain a recent spate of sudden deaths which occur most commonly in people under 40 and are usually due to cardiac arrest.
