OTTAWA — They came to Ottawa by the thousands with different goals and grievances, but united in their disenfranchisement with the federal Liberal government and COVID-19 health restrictions.
"As the 'Freedom Convoy' began rolling east and crowdfunding support soared into the millions, it became clear these protesters would have both bark and bite," Dawn Walton, managing editor of CTV Calgary, wrote in her survey response. Some of those who gathered in Ottawa described feeling hurt by two years of pandemic restrictions and said they wanted their concerns heard by the federal government.
"The self-described 'Freedom Convoy' protesters may have been unclear on their goals and ill-informed as to how to pursue them, but they reflected a schism in our society that is ignored at our peril," wrote Murray Wood, program director at 980 CJME in Regina.
