what we're seeing is bigger than just a city of ottawa problem. this is a nation wide insurrection. canadian officials have pilloried the protest as an insurrection that is spiraled out of control and place the city on the siege. mpi managed to pick out extremist among truckers dancing with children at mini concerts . the site has closed the page and frozen donations after claiming convoy protests had turned into a violent occupation. we now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity. so we can safely assume that go fund may have always shut down. similar efforts to fund occupations surely, course is actually named, occupy would be the 1st to feel the freezing wrath of go fund me. right. well wrong in 2020, the platform that only hosted but actively promoted fundraising for the left wing supported capitol hill occupied protest in a community with no police. this farmer is feeding people and bringing them closer together. that's r

vancouver, but ottawa remains the focal point. as the protest has morphed from a fight against vaccine mandates for truckers into a battle over the countries over all coven 19 restrictions. it's also spark political debate about the freedom of speech and assembly in canada. while protesters carry signs demanding freedom. many residents living in the downtown area say, their freedoms have been infringed upon by the incessant noise and activity. and response police have stepped up enforcement measures such as cutting off fuel being brought in by volunteers to the truckers. the city of ottawa has also increased its finds a ticket for idling. vehicle for example, has been hike from $100.00 to $1000.00. clearly a move to squeeze the truckers out. many of the stores the bars, the restaurants remain closed here in the downtown ottawa area with barricades just like these. blocking off most of the streets, ottawa's mayor suggested that perhaps a federal mediator should intervene. but other canadian officials have described the protests as
