This is one of about 20 or so vehicles that came down the Rockcliffe Parkway late day yesterday, and I think they were looking for a way to get into Rockcliffe Park to find our PM. Much anger out there, much of it directed at him. These vehicles aimlessly followed each other up and down the same small stretch of road, but the access to Rockcliffe Park (the neighbourhood) was barricaded. I guess most of them eventually went back to Parliament HIll to join the massive crowds there. The original protest, an anti-vaccine mandate one, was one thing, and I firmly believe most of the truckers in the convoy are peaceful protestors who have a right to their viewpoint. But the far-right, neo-Nazi thugs and their pro-violence, conspiracy pals, tried to hijack it. Not sure yet just how successful they have been but hopefully not at all.

Fingers crossed they continue to be lost...of course they have a right to have their own opinion and to be able to express that but as you say, violence and intimidation is a step to far...

Ughh. I hope the court injunction to stop the honking in downtown Ottawa works.

I didn't realize you had this kind of problem in Canada. Great documentary coverage. V.

I'm all for freedom of speech and opinion...but very unfortunate that the far right groups latch on and exploit an otherwise peaceful demonstration. v

If this were in the States it would be covered with confederate flags! Didn’t realize you have neo-Nazis, too.

so far so good, as the protest remains relatively peaceful, if noisy and disruptive...even the ignorant and the selfish do have a right to speak out...good catch of this truck, apparently as lost as their unfocused co-protestors..

a'm with you, let just hope it will stay calm!

We saw the convoy of trucks in the city centre earlier today
Hope calm prevails.
