Trucks, pickup trucks and other vehicles were driving through downtown Ottawa on Friday, many decked out with upside down Canadian, United States and Ontario flags

and some carrying signs with obscenities directed at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. One vehicle was also flying the confederate flag – a symbol also flown during the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. capitol. Drivers honked and whistled along Wellington Street which borders Parliament Hill, creating a racket that could be heard in office buildings throughout the downtown.

“We have evidentiary teams that will be videotaping all aspects of the demonstration. We’ll be gathering evidence should there be any acts of violence or unlawful behaviour.” At a Friday news conference, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos suggested the focus of protesters’ anger and frustration is misdirected.

Given the widespread availability of vaccines in Canada, Dr. Tam said Friday “the government has increased those vaccine requirements as time goes by because we just know how effective vaccines are.” On Friday he said he met some protesting truck drivers at a truck stop near the community of Johnstown, 90 kilometres south of Ottawa.

Other Conservative MPs have come out strongly in support of the trucking protest, including former leader Andrew Scheer, deputy leader Candice Bergen and prominent Ottawa-area MP Pierre Poilievre.

Arrive and do what?

But Trudeau says it's such a small minority..........why all of the police escort? They usually reserve that for the queen.

Not such a small fringe group, eh? freedomconvoy22 convoytoottawa2022 Canada EndTheMandates

It's hard to believe that so many of these manly Truckers are afraid of needles. convoytoottawa2022 ParliamentHill

It's sad I don't think most of the outside supporters realize that these are violent seperatists from Alberta.. they think mandates are over? This will trigger martial law in Ottawa and surrounding regions.. most people I know supporting this don't even vote. Pretty sad.

Watch till the end to see how the CBC lies. Retweet, Like and share if you or (I) ISupportTheTruckers CanadianPM calls us the fringeminority we are 'The 90%' 90Percent not the FRINGE

Hey we are fringe minority and.. proud of it.. how are we significant?

Lol Go get some

On Saturday across Canada all roads should be blocked in solitary

“Significant” our Prime minister said they were just a small fringe group! Are you saying he lied?

Even a small pack of morons can cause a significant disruption. Evidently.

Gonna need a fact check but according to reports in the Globe, truckers are mostly vaccinated. I believe they are concerned with mandates. Perhaps the Globe could dispatch a reporter or two to interview some participants. No need to mind read.

Yesterday's 'fringe' is today's 'significant'. That's a lot of 'Unacceptable views'

Truck Trudeau 🖕🏻 TrudeauResign StrongAndFree

It’s just a fringe minority who cares

Go homebetter yet go to work

Sweet covid carnival! 🎪 🤡

This is absurd. They are going to disrupt everyone's lives based on their bullshit. It's fuccking disgusting. Arrest them all and send them home. What a waste of fuel and time

“Tiny fringe minority”

All those anti vaxxers in one place without masks. What could possibly happen?

Ottawa police prepare as convoy protesting vaccine mandate heads to nation's capital | CBC NewsOttawa police are preparing for the arrival this weekend of a massive convoy of protesters opposed to pandemic public health measures — but they say they don't know how big the event will be or how long the protesters might stay. All the hate towards each other is disgusting. Protesting is what you do when you disagree with a policy. Millions of people disagree with the mandate. No matter the side you are on, we are all countrymen. You can disagree with people and still respect them. This reminds me of that movie where the guy starts running, gaining tons of followers along the way. Then, after accomplishing nothing, he turns around and goes back and all the dummies that were with him were left wondering what to do next. .....Good movie. 🤣🍿
