A group of "Freedom Convoy" supporters rallied on Parliament Hill and marched through downtown Ottawa Saturday on the anniversary of the police operation to remove the entrenched convoy protesters from Ottawa.
"I was removed last February with everyone else from the city when the emergencies act was invoked," said Jeremy Glass. "Basically, my purpose is to protest my federal government and to practice my right to free assembly and freedom of speech and to be acknowledged by the federal government." Police later advised residents of a march through downtown Ottawa and the ByWard Market. Police blocked access to Sparks and Elgin streets to prevent the protest from disrupting Winterlude events.
"We know with the commission some people may be aggravated, happy or unhappy with that, and they may want to take to the streets to protest, and they have every right to protest, but they don’t have a right to take over our streets for weeks and weeks on end," she said. "I think that we are not going to see a protest like we saw a year ago ever again in this city.
