Baker NOTABLE- This was a MASSIVE PROTEST in support of oil & gas workers & against Justin Trudeau. After the rally over 600 industrial trucks formed a miles long convoy that took 1.5 hours to go through the city with streets blocked off & traffic backed up. Hundreds of supporters, many in yellow, lined the freezing streets to cheer them on.

"A boisterous crowd, many carrying signs, could be heard chanting “build that pipe,” a refrain which was followed by loud cheers. Many at the rally said they wanted to know if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can “hear us now.”
The event’s organizers said they work at a local oilfield company and that they want the rally to highlight to politicians and ordinary Canadians how important the oil and gas sector is to the country. Rally attendees came from as far as Fort Nelson, B.C., which is located about 600 kilometres northwest of Grande Prairie.
“People in Alberta feel like they haven’t been heard lately and we’re frustrated,” said Cole Murphy, who helped organize the rally.
“We just want to spread some awareness that we’re good, hardworking Canadians that are just trying to provide for our families and that’s what it’s all about.”
“Today, by the thousands, people in Alberta’s Peace Country are giving their voice and are fighting back for what is right,” he said. “This is the fight for Canada.”
“We’re concerned with layoffs… it’s very concerning. It’s a scary time in our industry right now.”
