Participants and supporters of several truck convoys that have been making their way toward Ottawa from across Canada for several days are holding a "major demonstration" in the nation's capital today to protest COVID-19 related mandates.
The convoy movement, known as the “Save Canada” movement or the “freedom convoy,” started last Sunday in British Columbia, when hundreds of truckers took to the road to protest a mandate requiring all cross-border essential workers, including truckers, to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination at points of entry. Without it, they must quarantine for 14 days.
Ottawa's police chief says the "evolving nature" of the convoy protest has led him to request a "significantly" larger presence of cops, national security officials and emergency services.
