Protesters March Through Ottawa Demanding End to 'Freedom Convoy' Demonstrations

Ottawa residents gathered for a “Community Solidarity Rally and March” on Saturday, February 12, to demand an end to the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” protest near Parliament Hill.

This footage by Angela Keller-Herzog shows counter-protesters marching down Bank Street holding signs reading “Go Home Clownvoy” and “the law applies to everyone.”

On Saturday, authorities moved to clear a protest blockade of the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, after an Ontario Superior Court injunction was announced the day prior to prohibit obstruction of the bridge.
