   In a political context, 'freedom' became a well-worn word within   
   liberal thoughts, and in the [North] American use, Liberals are more   
   associated with Leftists.   
      
   In more original meaning, liberty connotes more like "freedom from   
   [despotic] restrictions", and the supporters of the "freedom convoy"   
   seek to claim their protest is against unreasonable restrictions.
