Canada protests against Covid measures gain steam eNCA DStv403
In the capital, demonstrators huddled around campfires in bone-chilling temperatures and erected portable saunas and bouncy castles for kids outside Parliament, while waving Canadian flags and shouting anti-government slogans.
Police were out in force and put up barriers to limit vehicle access to the city center, as many thousands of protestors -- including two on horseback -- joined truckers already jamming Ottawa streets. "This group is a threat to our democracy," Deans said."What we're seeing is bigger than just a city of Ottawa problem, this is a nationwide insurrection. This is madness."
Kimberly Ball, who with her husband drove five hours from a small town west of Toronto to join the Ottawa protest, told AFP,"It's about our freedom."
