.CTVNews' glen_mcgregor will take a look back on the Ottawa protests in a special reporter's notebook
"It was also difficult to cover logistically because it was happening in multiple locations at the same time, in the intense cold," he said. "The animosity many of the protesters felt towards what they call the mainstream media also made it harder to report."
Now, with the convoy gone and some of its main organizers facing criminal charges, the question McGregor ponders is how significant of a political force this movement will be in the future. "We don't know if the movement will peter out once the last COVID mandates are eventually rescinded, or whether it will continue on as the anti-government protest that it mushroomed into," McGregor said.You can watch the special on Monday starting at 10:30 p.m. ET, right after each airing of CTV National News on CTV News Channel. It will also start streaming on CRAVE the same night.
