Why Canadians are still optimistic about Canada
The last two years have been increasingly difficult for Canadians as government lockdowns and mandates had a detrimental effect on everyone – particularly the unvaccinated. However, despite the government’s heavy-handed response to Covid, many Canadians are still optimistic about Canada.
Families, not ‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters, flock to Ottawa’s first in-person Canada Day celebrations since 2019
Thousands of families with children and flag-draped celebrants gathered in a wide field west of Parliament Hill for a sad Canada Day marked by a heavy police presence in the nation’s capital.
Security was tight, skies were gray and the atmosphere was subdued as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his family and then Governor General Mary Simon arrived at LeBreton Flats near the National War Museum.
It was the first official in-person Canada Day celebration in Ottawa since 2019.
Trudeau and his family were flanked by more than a dozen RCMP bodyguards when they arrived. Trudeau waved, shook hands and moved quickly through a fenced path sheltered from the crowd. There were no boos or shouts from it, though on Parliament Hill, protesters carried banners and flags continuing the anti-vaccine mandate and anti-Trudeau campaign of last winter’s so-called Freedom Convoy.
Trudeau refuses to acknowledge protestors
“There are some people who really didn’t agree with many of your COVID protocols. They’re protesting here today. You are the Prime Minister. How do you heal those wounds?” Trudeau’s broadcasters, the CBC, asked.
“Well, I think we’ve always had challenges on Canada Day,” Trudeau responded. “And for many, the fact that there’s still work to do on Indigenous reconciliation.”
Snowbirds cancel Canada Day fly-over in Ottawa
The traditional Canada Day fly-past over Ottawa by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds has been cancelled, following a problem with the aircraft’s emergency ejection parachute that grounded the fleet.
I suspect this is a lie.
Justin Trudeau Has Transitioned Canada Day Into Anti-Canada Day
It’s what a malevolent ruler will do. A national leader with hatred toward his own country is bound to infect the nation with the poison they hold inside. Such is the case when it comes to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the fall of Canada Day celebrations.
No ‘warnings or second chances’ for illegal activity on Canada Day: Ottawa mayor
“Those people who are coming here to disrupt those wonderful celebrations will be dealt with,” Watson said. “There are not going to be warnings or second chances. If the law is broken, regardless of who breaks it, there will be consequences.
Ottawa police calling in the Mounties for Canada Day backup
City police are seeking special constable status for up to 491 Royal Canadian Mounted Police to help patrol around Canada Day — when more “freedom movement” protests are expected alongside the celebrations — and during “other major events” through the end of November.
Ottawa police say this year’s Canada Day will see ‘unprecedented’ security response
An Ottawa police officer says this Canada Day will be “unprecedented and unique” with a never-before-seen security posture as the main events take place off Parliament Hill and protests are planned throughout the day.
Police are aware of the demonstrations and are “planning accordingly,” said the officer.
