Thousands of people protesting Canada's Covid-19 vaccine mandate for truck drivers continued to block the streets of the capital city of Ottawa for the second day in a row on Sunday.
A group of people gathered near a highway overpass outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in protest of the vaccine mandate for cross-border trucking. Cole Burston and Cole Burton are pictured.
Thousands of people remained at the Freedom Convoy in downtownOttawa, with police opening investigations into the appearance of swastika flags and threatening behavior towards police officers.
The Canadian protestors are doing more to defend American freedom than our own leaders, according to Trump.
The protest focused on trucker mandates has evolved into a protest against Covid-19 health measures in general.
Trudeau and his family were forced to leave their downtown home on Saturday due to the protests.
Despite the large turnout, 90 percent of Canada's cross-border trucking companies are fully protected against Covid-19.
At a Texas rally Saturday, Trump said that he wanted those great Canadian trucking companies to know that he was with them all the way.
The convoy began its protest in Vancouver earlier this week, with drivers traveling across the country in protest of the mandate. The rule requires proof of vaccinations for truck drivers when they return to Canada from the U.S.
A protestor flew a Canadian flag with a swastika on it on Canadian television behind a Conservative Canadian Parliament member who was at the protest. Cooper later released a statement on the social networking site claiming that he was not associated with the person flying the flag and that he did not know the flag was being flown behind him. Canadian Chief of Defense Staff General Wayne Eyre denounced a woman who was filmed dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, saying he was sickened by the demonstration.
