  1. I feel for the residents around the capitol. these unsubstantiated claims by the mayor of Ottawa are not helping the situation.

    1. I think you’d feel differently if there was a fleet of trucks blocking off the street in front of your house and honking day and night.

    1. @Bev MacDonaldย  Haha nah, Canadian. I spend, or well spent a lot of time in the UK because of my work. Crazy how the dialect rubs off so easily!

    2. @allen0007 that’s funny, when I was in England, one could differentiate between the Ausiess and Brits by the use of the word ” mate” , just like my occasional “eh” let them know I wasn’t from the USA. For me it wasn’t so much the lingo but the accent that lingered a bit.

    3. @Bev MacDonaldย  The speech of Aussies and Brits definitely compare, and contrast is what I’ve noticed, but it is quite amusing how “mate” of all things could be such a dead giveaway lol. I personally thoroughly enjoyed being there, which I guess explains the lingering habits! Hopefully we’ll all be free to travel and work where ever we please soon enough.

    1. WITHOUT TRUCK’S WHEN THE SENIORS GET TO THE STORE’S THE SHELFS WILL BE EMPTY,
      THE government IS STARTING TO SWEAT ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

    1. @Hex donโ€™t forget to bail out monopolistic companies like Bell and using our tax dollars to bail out failing gateway casinos

    2. @Daniel Theal yes, because wtf would a country wide convoy be doing in a small rural town?

      They went to the right location to protest. Capitol City.

      It’s too bad our Cowardly PM chose to run and hide instead of doing his job.

  2. It’s scary when we have to go to other countries for the truth to what’s really going on in our own country

  3. Nobody is looking for a fight. If they were a riot would have already occurred. I can’t stand this guy.

  4. No thatโ€™s what elected politicians should do they need to meet and hear from all Canadians even the ones that they donโ€™t agree with .

    1. PARTICULARLY the constituents they don’t agree with.
      That’s how understanding and amicable compromise occurs, is it not?
      Isn’t that how Society is SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION??
      …With UNDERSTANDING & AMICABLE COMPROMISE??

  5. Sounds like he also like Trudeau would promote a BLM protest instead of this peaceful protest that the Canadians are doing

    1. If you think that’s so great, then invite them to YOUR neighbourhood and get them to blare their horns for hours on end and pee in YOUR yard. I bet more than your mayor would sound angry.

  6. Why doesnt the mayor talk to the PM and come to a loving and agreeable solution. there has been no mishandling of the seniors in fact they gave extra food to the Shepard shelter in downtown ottawa.

  7. The height of irresponsibility is when you completely ignore the constituents you’re there to represent….

  8. What has the government done to communicate with the protestors??? Their leader ran away and they slander the protesters with false information. The protestors are not impeding the elderly from anything, they would gladly assist any Canadian in need
