People gathered across Canada in support of a large protest against COVID-19 measures in Ottawa.
A convoy of thousands of truckers and other protesters have converged on Parliament Hill to call for an end to COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions — a demonstration that has police on high alert for possible violence even as organizers urge the growing crowd to be peaceful.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, hundreds of demonstrators rallied outside Confederation Building in St. John’s. Some held signs supporting truckers and protesting vaccine mandates, while others waved Canadian flags.
There was a police presence, but the event remained peaceful.
