The anti-carbon tax protest just outside Calgary has added some signage.
A huge ‘Axe the Tax” sign now hangs from a crane over the participants, who are parked at the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 22.
That slogan was coined by federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre to explain his feelings towards the controversial policy.
The protesters, who call themselves the Nationwide Protest Against Carbon Tax, have pledged to continue the event until its goals are achieved, “regardless of duration.”
On its website, the group says its mission is “Immediate removal of the carbon tax, without replacement by any other form of taxation.”
Last week, the Cochrane RCMP issued a statement advising motorists to be aware of potential delays, but this weekend, there was no reports of any traffic disruptions.
