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.

What really upsets the Left about this convoy and the January 6 protest is that they can’t do it. ALL of their protests and marches are astroturf and fake. Always have been, including the 60s. For the Left to have a gathering, massive funding and “community organizing” has to be done. It’s never real.
HOW can that ‘reporter’ sit there & say that with a straight face???
pm blackface is a p*ssy. LOL!
Trudeau is a coward. Most authoritarians are.
I suspect that cartoon wasn’t intended to make sense... it was intended as a call to action for antifa.
“The CBC testifies to the fact that there are worse things than NPR.”
Yes, but just barely.
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.John 10:13.
The Left are hirelings, like murder for hire. They care nothing for those they are supposed to be governing.
What about Biden? Does Jesus have anything to say about him? You bet.
Biden is the Imposter in Chief, a thief who stole the WH. What does Jesus have to say about people like him?
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.John 10:10.
No, just from the Delusional Lying Left.
WHAT REASONS?????????
2020===all year==NO MANDATES
2021 ==all year==NO MANDATES
2022===NOW MANDATES ???? NONSENSE.
Black helicopter with darkened windows to the airport. Unscheduled secret plane with no flight plan filed. Composite resin blended fuselage invisible to radar.
Then safely by armed boat to the Faroe Islands with ten armed guards surrounding a chalet. Out of harm’s way from those brutal supremacists at last.
It's Canada. So what do they have? A bunch of mounties?
If a leader of a country is that scared of the citizens he should resign.
I thought it was interesting that on J6 not one congressperson stayed at the podium to keep it from the mob.
Fitting for the Canadian Crime Minister.
Escape to the hills in Cuba! Rum and cigars, too good for him!
Yeah, cooking eggs and in need of a wash.
Absolutely agree.
Maybe he’s holeing up with AOC?
He always runs off to his cottage. Trending on Twitter is #coward of the cottage. 😆
