Tens of thousands of freedom-loving Canadians poured into Ottawa to support the truckers during their three-week-long protest. This was especially true on weekends.
While on assignment with the Post Millennial, Beth Baisch recorded this 1-minute video documenting the festive, joyous atmosphere. The news outlet uploaded it to Twitter shortly afterward, in the early evening of Saturday, Feb. 5th.
A few hours later Beth herself commented: “Walking from my hotel to Parliament Hill I have gotten 3 hugs, a high five, and countless fist bumps.”
Mid-week, a few days later, she tweeted: “Overheard a guy talking on his phone at the Freedom Convoy: ‘Man it’s like a party down here. I wish I came here sooner.’”
