OTTAWA – Global News; (WBAP/KLIF) – A massive west to east convoy of truckers protesting Canada’s Covid 19 vaccine mandates have arrived in that nation’s capital, with tens of thousands of supporters on site; protesting both the vaccine mandates and many aspects of that nation’s handling of the pandemic
Federal officials insist 90% of Canada’s truckers are vaccinated, and claim many of the truck drivers involved in this convoy, dubbed the “Freedom Protest” are not employed cross border truckers.
Federal police agencies have joined local police along with those from agencies spanning several area adjacent provinces. Police cite threats of violence from extremists they state have joined the protest.
Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau has been moved from his official residence, and Members of Parliament aligned with the Liberal Party have been warned to leave the area or lock their doors and be ready for possible attacks by extremists.
The normally placid nation has witnessed business failures and longer area and city shutdowns than most of the United States has seen.
