it to turn into Jan 6th. As long as people don't get killed I am fine with taking time to plan. This could not have been planned for. There were other trucking demonstrations in the past but their intent was not to gum up the city and most often they went home in a day. These guys are coordinated and have ex military and ex police coordinating with the protesters. They have intimidated, in some cases directly, big rig tow truck operators in Ottawa whose sole business is truckers. Lots of things make this unique .

The antivax clowns don't realize how high a drone will fly and close it will zoom in for pictures.
