What started as a small group of trucks grew to include dozens of big rigs as the Quebec version of the 'freedom convoy' entered its third day in the provincial capital.
Hundreds of people joined the truckers on Rene-Levesque Blvd. near the National Assembly to denounce the province's health measures put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“I’m here for them,” said the father of two attending the protest, pointing to his kids. “So they can start sports again. They don’t know what freedom is. We’re in chaos right now. We’ll continue demonstrating until we get our country back.”
Quebec City police (SPVQ) and the Surete du Quebec (SQ) were on hand to deliver tickets and ensure no one enters the National Assembly ground.
Organizer Bernard "Rambo" Gauthier asked the protesters to remain peaceful and respect the police monitoring the event.
