As thousands of protesters entered Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family were moved from their home to an undisclosed location somewhere in the city on Saturday afternoon due to security concerns, CBC reports.
A "Freedom Convoy" of some 2,700 trucks entered the Canadian capital city of Ottawa Saturday to protest Trudeau's COVID-19 policies, Reuters reported.
According to the Independent, around 100 big rigs blockaded a main street running past the Canadian parliament building.
The convoy, which approached the capital from all sides, began as a protest against a vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border but grew into a wider expression of discontent with the government's COVID-19 policies.
"These demonstrations are national in scope, they're massive in scale," Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly said Friday, expressing concern about the possibility of violent "lone wolf" individuals carrying out violent acts.
The protest has drawn criticism from many sides. The Canadian Trucking Alliance condemned the convoy. Nova Scotia banned people from congregating along the highways to support the protesting truckers. A Washington Post cartoonist drew a convoy of tractor-trailers with "Fascism" written on the side of each one. Trudeau said Friday that the convoy members and their supporters hold "unacceptable views," The Guardian reported.

Did he leave in a chartreuse mini bus!
So is the cartoonist saying that the truckers are “facists”? Or that they are protesting a facist government? It wouldn’t surprise me if by some faulty logic it is the former.
What always happens. They flee when protests not theirs get too big. Macron had to flee his rat hole in a helicopter, IIRC.
The CBC testifies to the fact that there are worse things than NPR.

I won't bother linking to that fetid little dung-smear. "Incoherent" would be the very nicest thing I could say about it. Not surprised it's from the WaPo, though, the number one defenders of fascism here in the Coviet Union.
He should be meeting with them. Explain to them the reasons for his policies.
The left defines and decries “fascism” as any legitimate authority deriving from God, parents, and people of good faith and conscience.
Time to go to the pussoisbunker.
Trudeau, like Biden, is a chicken$hit and cowardly bully.
Washington Post cartoonist - consider the source.
GO TRUCKERS!
God forbid he should stand up like a man and face those he is determined to subjugate. If his cause be just then he would prevail or perhaps perish while trying, other he appears to be just another coward hiding behind his privileges.
Because all liberals know how to do it project.
They don’t really understand the right or they would know they are in no physical danger at all.
But they don’t. They think the right is like them and they know what they would do if the roles were reversed which is why they are running scared.
Which needs to be a real wake up call for us because it shows what’s in store for us if they really and truly get the upper hand.
He’s a pathetic sissy. Runs and hides from the big bad truckers. LOL
The DUers think that. They posted that cartoon over at DU.
As of today, there is ZERO mention of this at all over there.
From the videos I have seen, trying to ban spectators from lining the roads/highways is beyond stupid.
There are NOT that many LEO’s & NOT enough jail space.
IF ANYONE is on their OWN property, they can legally be there & support whom they want.
Entire year 2020 === NO mandates
Entire 2021 == No mandates
2022 + TRUCKER mandates.
IF you have it-—a trucker brought it.
Carry on...."We, the People".
