Since DailyMail.com arrived in Ottawa last week we have seen no indication of violence or vandalism or any extremist political agenda. In fact, the demonstrations have shown the opposite. Supplies brought in for the protesters also include bouncy castles for children as protests continue into the second week
* Canadian truckers blasted the government and Ottawa police Monday after members of their 'Freedom Convoy' protest were arrested and charged with hate crimes
* The protesters also strongly deny they have ties to ultra-right-wing groups, insisting they are just 'ordinary truckers' trying to make a living without being bound by the government's covid vaccine mandates
* 'Justin Trudeau and his government like to paint us protestors as right-wing conspiracist, associated with QAnon. But we aren't. We are far from it,' trucker Guy Meister, of Nova Scotia, told DailyMail.com
* Ottawa's Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency Sunday to help deal with an unprecedented 11-day occupation by protesting truckers
* The protest has shut down much of the core of the Canadian capital, Ottawa Police arrested seven people and opened 60 criminal investigations for hate crimes and mischief

Angry truckers have lashed out at Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau after members of their convoy protest were arrested and charged with hate crimes during another weekend of unrest in the country's capital city.
They have also strongly denied that they have ties to ultra-right-wing groups, insisting they are just 'ordinary truckers.'
'It's intimidation, nothing else,' Freedom Convoy protestor Guy Meister told DailyMail.com on Monday.
'We are just a bunch of hard working truck drivers who are out here protesting the government's covid mandates.

WNU Editor: I live in Canada, and on Canadian main stream media I have seen nothing but condemnation and claims that the demonstrators are racist/misogynist/Nazis/Trump supporters/etc. non stop for almost two weeks. I have been in Ottawa for the past two Saturdays, and I have seen nothing like that. Kudos to the Daily Mail for at least sending someone to go to the protest sites, and truthfully report what they are seeing.

There was one heavily hooded guy carrying a Confederate flag. One. One person does not define 10,000 or 100,000.
The guy could have been a plant, which is why he should have been filmed and identified, but not harmed. I am sure it is illegal to film him due to reasons ..., while Senator Sinema is followed into a bathroom.
WNU Editor: Now you have an idea of what the American media were like for FOUR YEARS during Trump. Newspapers, magazines, Internet, radio, and television--both national and local--were anti-Trump 24/7/365 x 4 years, with many of the "stories" consisting of not simply exaggerations or innuendos, but outright lies.
11:32 is a WHINER!!!
12:20 is not the real James. It is an imposter.
The brazen occupation of Ottawa came as a result of unprecedented coordination between various anti-vaccine and anti-government organizations and activists, and has been seized on by similar groups around the world.
It may herald the revenge of the anti-vaxxers.
The so-called “freedom convoy” – which departed for Ottawa on 23 January – was the brainchild of James Bauder, an admitted conspiracy theorist who has endorsed the QAnon movement and called Covid-19 “the biggest political scam in history”. Bauder’s group, Canada Unity, contends that vaccine mandates and passports are illegal under Canada’s constitution, the Nuremberg Code and a host of other international conventions.
Bauder has long been a fringe figure, but his movement caught a gulf stream of support after the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, announced last year that truckers crossing the US-Canada border would need to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. The supposed plight of the truckers proved to be a compelling public relations angle and attracted an array of fellow travelers.
Until now, a litany of organizations had protested Canada’s strict public health measures, but largely in isolation. One such group, Hold Fast Canada, had organized pickets of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s headquarters, where they claimed that concentration camps had already been introduced in the country.
1:36 is a Fred Lapides's style copy and paste of a news article in toto.

In other news Justin Trudeau is the love child of Fidel Castro. It all makes sense.
Justin's purported father was rumored to be gay and a swinger. Gay swinger, now there is a redundant term.
A DNA test is needed.
Have you followed the blog? He's covered it extensively.
Are you sure?
And neither do you.
Liberalism has dropped any pretense of being working class anymore. The fact that there is zero support among the left wing for a working class message of "my body, my rights" shows how far they've degenerated from their Tommy Douglas roots.
