      There are also freedom convoy  protesters in every Major city across Canada.
      According to Trudeau, they are all a small minority fringe group. Who are islambicphobe, women haters, extremist, racist, violent, lawbreakers and all hold uncepetable Views.
      
      After watching the link, tell me if everything Trudeau said is true?

            This lawyer interviewer did 16 hours of these video's.  Towards the end of this part video,  he tried persistently for any of the counter protesters nicely to talk.  One women was shoving her sign in front of his face blocking any discourses. A couple of them did talk and the best thing they could come up with is the honking of the horns for half the day.

   The Canadian government is starting to get real.
   
   They are now arresting people who provide fuel to the truckers.  It is going to go downhill from here.  What a shame!
   
   "Canada 'Freedom Convoy': Ottawa police arrest 7, threaten charges for others caught bringing fuel to truckers
   
   Ottawa police say more than 100 have been issued tickets in connection to the protest"
   
   Canadian police announced Monday that seven people have been arrested and more than 100 have been issued tickets in connection to "demonstration-related enforcement" in Ottawa.
   
   This comes after Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon as approximately 500 trucks and vehicles with the "Freedom Convoy" continued to linger in the streets of the Canadian capital to protest vaccine mandates and other coronavirus-related restrictions.
   
   Ottawa Police Service issued a warning earlier Monday that "anyone found bringing fuel to the demonstration trucks in the red zone could be subject to arrest and charges."
   
   Multiple vehicles and fuel have been seized. Five of the seven arrests were for unspecified mischief. A sixth person was charged for driving while prohibited and a seventh for mischief "relating to property damage of a downtown business," police said in a press release. "

   It is sad how they are treating the Ottawa protesters.
   
   BLM protests were justified. The trucker convoy is a violent spreading "contagion" according to CNN.
   
   Could you imagine the backlash if that sort of language were used about the BLM protests?

      The Canadian Government is breaking almost every constitutional law and a few human rights in the book,. And using every dirty trick like Blazing Saddles. Not by shooting, it's by way of Globalist creating ceremonial suicides. 
      One person set himself on fire because he couldn't get a job.
      
      They cancel every hotel in the area, they closed most government services and business shops wail the largest crowds they have ever seen are there, larger than the world's largest Snow festival that cancelled anyway because of Covid. . Shut down bridges getting into Ottawa with plastic and cement brigades everywhere.
      
      
      They tried stealing 10 million dollar funds. They got caught and redirect to returning the funds with a Sur charge back to donater. They got caught fining and stopped fuel to the truckers their lawyer had to save that one. Next dirty trick canceling their driver license and trucking insurance. They are pretending the whole world can't see them, we are watching history in the making.

         And we have to go to "conspiracy sites" and such to get any sort of real news in this here in the US. I have a difficult time finding out what is going on when I am seeking the news out. FB made a deliberate attempt to downplay the convoy, then the Canadian govt said it was an occupation. Kind of look silly downplaying it now.
         
         We are not supposed to believe the videos of peaceful protesting we see on Youtube I guess. Meanwhile, I gotta get to my work outside of home job in retail like the rest of the plebians.

   It looks like the Freedom Convoy is working.
   
   "THE TRUCK STOPS HERE: Four Canadian Provinces to Lift COVD Restrictions"
   
   Four provinces have announced they will lift some COVID restrictions and eliminate others all together: Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island.
   
   According to AP, during a news conference in Ottawa that excluded mainstream media outlets, Benjamin Dichter, one of the protest organizers, said: “I think the government and the media are drastically underestimating the resolve and patience of truckers.”
   
   “Drop the mandates. Drop the passports,” he said.
   
   Despite the progress being made, it sounds like there is still work to be done.

   A 4ft-10inch great grandfather was handcuffed and arrested by two Canadian cops for honking his horn in support of Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa on Sunday - a day before a judge outlawed blaring horns due to left-wing backlash against the anti-mandate protesters who have been smeared by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'swastika-wavers'.
   
   A bystander filmed while two officers pulled over Gerry Charlebois, 78, for beeping his horn.
   
   'What did he do wrong?' the bystander asked. 'None of your f****** concern, man,' one officer responded.

      I just saw the story. Horrible! To treat this elderly man as if he is a street thug (oh wait...street thugs get a pass & praise) if you honk for FREEDOM......watch out!! Also saw where some of the truckers had their firewood {used for keeping warm} confiscated by the Police. I know the Police are following Trudeau's orders, but come on....arresting little old men for honking and hauling off firewood as if scoring some major drug bust.  It is pathetic!

   Castlepaloma, if you want to get widespread support for your point of view, you need to share reasonably accurate information. When you make a claim that 2.5 million protestors and counter-protestors are in Ottawa (an astounding and seemingly ridiculous number), as you did in the title of this thread, you need to share references from mainstream and conventional news sources as well as other ones if you want to convince people that the claim is correct. If you rely only on alternate and conspiracy sites or organizations to support amazing news, many people are going to dismiss your claim.

      Personally I know Ottawa from building the world's largest Snowgrounds for ten years at the world largest winter Festival that has draws up to 2 million attentence. The Trucker organization claim since the beginning of the protest the attendance has gathered has been  to 2.5 million people. I've been very keen on the process for my body and freedom is depending on it.  From studies of serveral podcast episode watching greater crowds than any Ottawa Winter ever I concur with the Truckers attendance. It's been my pleasure business to know these things for 47 years. For most of the people there, have not seen the winter festival with such grand crowds and so much hugging, kissing and dancing ever. Having the time of their lives wail changing human history and centralist greed an absolute power.
      
      You live in BC maybe you notice the world sandsculpture championship from starting in 1979 onward. I also have been a pioneering that part of the movement also.

         Castlepaloma, given your track record for grossly exaggerating facts I decided to ‘fact check’ some of your claims.
         
         Firstly, your claim that 2.5 million people visit Winterlude:
         
         •    Typically around 600,000 on average attend, in 2019 that might have been a little higher.
         •    In 1980 100,000 visitors attended Winterlude.
         •    1985 half a million visitors attended WInterlude.
         •    1991 1.2 million visitors attended Winterlude, and
         •    2007 1.6 million visitors attended Winderlude (the Record so far).
         
         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winterlude
         
         So your estimate that up to 2 million people visits Winterlude is somewhat a bit of an exaggeration.
         
         As regards your claim that 2.5 million people gathered to protest in Ottawa does seem to also be somewhat of an exaggeration.
         
         On ‘fact checking’ a conservative estimate by conspiracy theorists is that over 50,000 trucks were involved in the protests.  However, simple maths will tell you that that cannot be the case because such a number of trucks would have taken up hundreds of miles of more road space than the protest actually occupied.
         
         At the peak of the protests on the 28th January there was an estimated 18,000 demonstrators; far short of the 2.5 million you quote.
         
         Besides, looking at the aerial view of the protests at their height you can see that there is nowhere near 100,000 let alone 2.5 million; looking at the aerial footage 18,000 would seem a reasonable estimate.  https://youtu.be/Cq9LbkspiCA

            The largest Winter festival in the world I was part of in Quebec City. Winterlube wanted that title so I so switch to Ottawa and my French is not good anyway. The News paper headlines said it was on up to 2 million people attendance. It's difficult to record attendance because many activities are indoors or people are in and out all the time..
            
            After obviously countless big lies by a loose cannon Trudeau
            Now has shown clearly and mainstream media just poorly repeating what Trudeau sayd Which is greatest nonsensical lies I've ever heard in my life and It's actually backfiring.
            
            So why believe the mainstream press when they act like the Communist. Why believe anything they say attendance. The Government closed downtown businesses and services in Ottawa just in spite of record local attendance from trucker convoy
            And they most worldwide attention by News right now. Its human rights, constitutional law all rolled in one exposure of tyranny in the raw.
            
            I've seen being a highlight on Media for 47 years.in many events around the world, I know my attendance

               Make up your mind.  First you said the winter festival in Ottawa, now you’re saying the winter festival in Quebec City.  Granted it’s the largest winter festival in the Western Hemisphere, but even so, the record breaking attendance was in 2006, with up 1 million; half of what you claimed.
               
               And using the excuse that “It's difficult to record attendance” for inflating the figures is a poor excuse; attendances at such events can quite accurately be estimated:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_Winter_Carnival

                     What’s confusing is that you stated that up to 2 million people attend the winter festival; but you haven’t made it clear whether it’s the Ottawa or the Quebec City winter festival where you’re claiming that up to million people visit.
                     
                     In either event your claim is an over estimation because the record number of visitors to the Quebec City was up to 1 million in 2006, and 1.6 million in Ottawa in 2007 – both falling rather short of the 2 million you claimed.
                     
                     So as I stated at the start, you have a track record of grossly exaggerating facts; so why should we believe that you had 8 million people see a single sands sculpture that you did in China without some Corroborating evidence?

                        I'm not going into all the venue's that draw millions attendance at events. Or annual venues that draw millions annually a year. Like international Sandsculpture contest, theme parks, agriculture fairgrounds, amusement park and so on. We mostly do indoor sandsculpture that draw 4 times the normal foot traffic in the largest malls in the world.
                        
                        It doesn't matter any more, as long as Trudeau won't let me out of my province or draw crowds.  I would be treated far better in a other Communist country.
