The freedom convoy is completing a cross-country journey to Ottawa. Groups departed from Arnprior, Ont. Cornwall, Kingston and Vankleek Hill Saturday morning, travelling along highways into Ottawa for the protest.
They are being greeted by hundreds of convoy participants that arrived in Ottawa Friday afternoon, filling streets with the constant sound of truck horns and cheers preparing for the weekend demonstration. Crowds began to form on Parliament Hill around 9 a.m. Saturday and grew significantly throughout the morning.
A steady stream of people walked and drove across the Ottawa River from Gatineau to join the demonstration. Gatineau police urged people to avoid the Hull sector due to traffic congestion, and the Chaudiere, Alexandra and Portage bridges were closed to vehicle traffic.
The owner of an Arnprior truck stop said Saturday morning about 500 vehicles were set to leave there for downtown Ottawa.
Tom Orr, the owner of Antrim truck stop, said about 160 trucks stayed there overnight and between 300 and 400 cars have joined this morning.
The truck stop is one of four Arnprior locations from which the convoy is leaving, along with the municipal airport, a farmer's field and another local yard. Orr estimated 700 to 800 vehicles would be leaving Arnprior Saturday morning, adding that "99.9 per cent" of the people at his truck stop have been respectful and peaceful.

Hopefully they stay until the city runs out of food.
A peaceful protest such as this, although a civilized way to proceed to effect change, could very well not be enough to persuade the tyrants to give up their self-anointed vast new powers. I hope it doesn’t come to physical force, but physical force may be necessary to restore Liberty ... a value and a way of life worthing fighting for.
I just saw video of the Toronto Police arriving in the center of Ottawa their convoy includes horse trailers the Mounted Unit is being brought in.

I’m eastbound and down.
Catch you on the flip-flop.
Very true. This is obviously where to begin.
I think people may miss the boat on this because the other side is dug in. There will be a point of no return if we allow it.
Now who could that be...?
Gee, maybe some member of Canada's Deep State national security apparatus that was called in?
That’s the only way a protest is going to have any real effect. It’s got to be painful. Very painful. Lack of food will do that. Even the people that are in favor of this fascist government will start to sing a different tune when they get hungry.
Meanwhile, the tightly-controlled U.S. media is “most crickets”
In MAJOR US news, the Bidens have a new cat.
Here’s a hint: “Red and Black. That’s their color scheme.”
Thank You. Incorporated in my blog.
I bet the RCMP is consulting with the FBI on how to turn this into an "insurrection," with mass arrests and detainments.
I liked the “Kiss My Antibodies” sign I saw on a video from there.
Nationwide strikes are a good idea, I hope they get to that point.
Thought they just got a new dog since it kept biting Senile Joe.
