Canadian Forces veteran James Topp was joined by Conservative Party leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre on his march through Ottawa today, as part of the final leg of his cross-country march to protest COVID-19 vaccine requirements.
Topp’s arrival comes as Ottawa prepares to host the first in-person Canada Day events in three years, and the city braces for possible protests through the weekend and into the summer.
Hundreds of people, including People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier, gathered on Robertson Road in the west end to greet Topp at 10 a.m. Friday, as he started the walk to Parliament Hill. Supporters were holding Canadian flags and signs supporting Topp and protesting mandates.
Um, Pierre Poilievre is choosing to walk alongside James Topp.
James Topp went on Jeremy Mackenzie’s show — who was part of the broadcast that said they hoped the “Freedom Convoy” would be Canada’s January 6th: https://t.co/au0ObcjMJN
Yeah, that Jan. 6.
So this is a choice. https://t.co/JmQzKQmyUe

So Poilievre talked to a guy who talked to someone else therefore … Poilievre is HITLER!
And … Doug Ford warns Ottawa ‘freedom convoy’ protesters: ‘No shenanigans this weekend’
Behave yourselves this time, protesters.
That’s the message to Ottawa-bound demonstrators from Premier Doug Ford, who backed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of emergency powers to end the illegal blockade around Parliament Hill last winter.
Ford said it’s “disappointing” and “not fair” that the so-called “freedom convoy” is returning on Canada Day.
