    1. True and we have the tools to end it. Humility. Listen to the epidemiologists. Listen to the experts. Name calling is non productive.

  1. My family and I go downtown a couple hours everyday to show our gratitude and support! The world is watching. We live in Ottawa and fully support this protest!

    1. He has been in office for how long? I know more about the homeless in Ottawa than he does and I know he does nothing to protect the homeless from ANYTHING, he is so busy selling out to a stack of dirty money. time for a better quality of mayor.

    2. @Jbatman L’Heureux Go fund me should never have existed no matter what the cause. It’s a quick getaway from reality and responsibility.

    1. @nibsvkh all you can do is complain about grammar. You’re scared of a virus, so you wouldn’t fight for your beliefs. Do something 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you need government protection

    1. This is all inflammatory language! A protest is legal if it’s peaceful!! No one has found those flags fyi! JT should come out of hiding! He’s a coward!! This mayor is a coward!! Masks and vax are not needed! There are cheap drugs that cure this and you know it!

    2. You mean the rest of Canada who is laughing at you clowns? Or we would be if you werent causing serious harm by blocking ambulances.

    3. @Scott Leishman On Kent Street this morning an emergency vehicle would never have been able to go anywhere due to the extent of the blockage.

    1. @eastcoasterner C its litterly the only way they can win. Without toronto the liberals would loose everytime.

    2. @J yeah too bad we don’t go off number of votes. It seems like the most logical way to vote for a leader is to go with the guy who has the most votes.

  2. NOT a group. This is the rest of Canada who have been ignored. The truckers speak for me, as I am a shut in.

    1. @Leah Archambault you have any numbers to show this or are you living in some sort of fantasy world. Truckers rule

    2. @strobx1 that’d great
      And truckers eat Trudeau for lunch!
      I hope I don’t catch that new variant. Although I should have immunity from it, I hear Coward-19 only spreads in liberals. Was worried for a minute

  3. My family and I go downtown a couple hours everyday to show our gratitude and support! The world is watching. We live in Ottawa and fully support this protest!-

    1. These liberal governments are bunch of hypocrites. You comply and support them then you’re no different.

      This is dictatorship government. Hi

  4. Speaking of delays, This is the mayor that hired a Brasilian company to build a multi-billion light train in Ottawa that is designed for Latin American climate.

    1. @/-GUMBY- Well maybe you should tell that to Trudeau, he’s the one to blame for all of this. Maybe the Truckers would leave if their and the rest of Canada’s requests were met.

    1. yaeh like sending soldiers to Ukraine. Where is Canada and where is Ukraine, or bombing Yugoslavia, or attacking civilians in Afghanistan. Sure! and do not forget indian kids

  5. My family and I go downtown a couple hours everyday to show our gratitude and support! The world is watching. We live in Ottawa and fully support this protest!

    1. How do you sleep at night? Do you have children? What kind of legacy are you leaving for them? They will be ashamed to bear your name. Stop down.. just step down. You don’t deserve that office.
