    1. @Jack Sprat well outnumbered or not they are Trudeau’s lackeys. It’s why he isn’t already in jail..Trudeau will use them. I’m not saying they are a threat in the huge picture of what’s going on. Trudeau will never back down. And his only real tool to use to push the truckers out is the RCMP. That’s why I say they are the wildcard.

    2. @Jack Sprat again I’m not saying they will be effective , what I’m saying is they are the only ones that will probably make the attempt on Trudeau’s orders

    3. @Rich Allen Some house of cards fall down under Lucki that’s what is going to happen to the RCMP they have lost all credibility in the last 5 years..

    1. Why should they support the protest when they’re breaking the law? Not by protesting but HOW they are protesting….. that’s the problem

  1. Meanwhile, what is Saskatchewan doing? It’s like a government having a seizure……just a yard sale of flailing limbs.

  2. We do need the military, we value the military but not for this , and I think the military feels the same

  3. THATS A HUGE SLAP IN THE FACE TO OUR MILITARY IF THEY CHOSE TO SEND THEM THERE …. WHY? BECAUSE NOT ONLY THEIR OWN BUT THEIR KIDS OR FUTURE KIDS AND THEIR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES ARE ALSO REPRESENTED BY THE TRUCKER CONVOY…

  4. Please reporter don’t waste your time with this guy …… he has no clue “ everyone frustrated “ is the only thing this guy know

    1. I am not racist but this guy makes me puke ! Not only is his voice annoying as crap , but he has a face only his mother could love ! 😳

  5. There’s a video of veteran saying they don’t like Trudeau and calling for Canadians AND AMERICAN Veterens to get to Ottawa now 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  6. Evan would you consider asking the PM or other MPs why they have not required our health authority’s to set up Covid-19’s treatment facilities separate from our hospitals. As has been done with other pandemics in our country. We are going on our third year now…..

  7. News commentators that interrupt and monopolize the conversation over the host is totally rude and unacceptable

  8. The key take away from what Omar said. “i hope the protests continue to be peaceful and respectful”. Which means the protests have been peaceful and respectful.

  9. Trudeau: joined IN-person the BLM protesting “discrimination” but now standing against Canadians protesting “medical discrimination”???

  10. We will always have a little discomfort when protesting but the overall outcome is more important than a little discomfort. Hell we send our families to fight wars over resources if we can send our children to die for our governments then we can put up with a little discomfort over a friendly protest.

  11. The Trudeau government needs to step up open dialogue for negotiations with the protesters for the sake of everyone. It’s the responsible thing of a government to do. If all fails at least they’ve would have tried but the longer it takes the more it looks bad for them. It’s not fair for the truckers, nor the residence of Ottawa and the police who have been working endlessly. For all ours sake will the government extend a hand for negotiations before somebody gets hurt or is that what it will take?
