Thousands of protesters gathered on Parliament Hill in Canada's Ontario calling for an end to Covid-19 vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family have been moved to an undisclosed location amid security concerns, sources told CBC News.
The protesters, mostly truck drivers, were joined by demonstrators on foot from nearly all regions of the country. They all converged on the parliamentary precinct on Saturday denouncing public health measures in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, as per a report by CBC News.
The police are on high alert for possible violence even though the organisers are urging the crowds to be peaceful.
The PM and his family are no longer at their home in Rideau Cottage — roughly four kilometres from the epicentre of the protest. Though his itinerary, which normally lists the city where he's staying, confirmed that he's in the "national capital region."
Trudeau is in isolation after one of his children tested positive for Covid-19.
The protesting truckers sounded their air horns non-stop throughout the city as they converged at Parliament Hill. They were joined by demonstrators on foot who waved Canadian banners and demanded "Freedom".
