Time Text
We're live.
Someone just got pulled over behind me.
Don't know why.
Good morning, people.
Not good evening.
It's not good evening anymore.
It's another day.
Sorry for being late.
I tried to do too much this morning.
15 minutes late.
Not the end of the world.
But we're here now.
Same starting point as always.
I took a picture, which I forgot to share on Twitter before going live, but just to show that no traffic in the city, like no traffic whatsoever.
There's no honking of horns now.
We're two blocks down.
Two big blocks.
Maybe...
Okay, fine.
Three blocks.
Maybe four blocks.
You can see where it is.
You can see it.
It's over there.
Not a peep.
It's actually, I dare say, eerily quiet.
I didn't want to be too late.
There's a lot of cops up there, actually, now that I can see.
A lot of rumors or, you know, theories.
YouTube is lagging streams.
YouTube is hiding small streams.
Don't know anything about it, but share the link.
This is on YouTube and simultaneously on Rumble.
I don't see the Rumble comments on the StreamYard app.
Oh, I forgot gloves.
Doesn't matter.
I don't see the Rumble comments through the StreamYard app, so I only see the YouTube comments, but they're going too fast anyhow to even make an attempt to keep up with.
How is the audio?
How is the video?
I went with the tie-dye avatar today.
I think I like the black on white one.
I think it's sharper, easier to see from a distance, more, not iconic, but more, oh, what's the word?
Concise as far as branding goes.
Perfect, all good, 10 times 10. Okay, that's good.
Okay.
So, there's a number of rumors that are going around, and I'm not here to propagate or deny, affirm, or confirm, or contradict.
Just gonna see what happens.
Just walk and, again, see what's going on today.
For those of you who prefer the lesser commentary, walking abouts, autowalks is probably the one to watch.
Everyone in the chat, I mean, put links into everybody who's doing this, because...
I mean, I think it's become an incredibly invaluable resource in all of this.
Just documenting reality to make sure that what is being said is true and that there's video evidence to disprove that which is untrue.
So share the links around if you could.
Twitter.
I tweeted it out, but I'm an idiot.
I forgot to share it on our locals community, but they know where to find...
They know where to find everything.
So the rumors are that the police are going to start arresting protesters.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Gentlemen, I'm not recording you guys.
Have you been pulled over?
Please do.
No.
No.
Okay, what's the good one?
You're doing garbage and cleaning, putting garbage?
Yeah, taking it away and the city's not doing it.
Alright, and why are you stopped here now?
We're just waiting to get confirmation.
You're waiting.
I'm not recording the policeman, but he's waiting to get confirmation from the policeman to pick up the garbage.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, I'm no city planner.
But, okay, we'll see what's going on here.
Where are you guys from?
Prince Edward Island.
Prince Edward Island?
PEI is a beautiful place, people.
If you've never been there, flat, very beautiful earthy tone.
It's got turns in the heart.
It's got turns in the heart.
Well, I'm from Quebec, so that's not much better.
How long have you been here for?
We've been here.
We came in on Saturday with the convoy.
Saturday a week and a half ago.
Thank you so much, sir.
They got the authorization to go in and clean up the garbage.
Thank you.
Morning.
Okay, so here we go.
The garbage is behind us.
Garbage is behind us.
They're moving the cones.
If anybody knows what movie that's from, there were cones!
There's cones!
Anyways, they're moving the cones to get the garbage.
So that's one of the protesters, by the way.
The joke will never get old.
One of those extremist protesters who is going to collect the garbage because the city won't do it.
And I don't know where it's going.
I presume they're hauling it off to wherever the dump is.
Someone just talked.
Get that guy a ticket.
I'm joking.
It's so quiet.
You can hear...
That's got to be an Oscar Peterson monument.
It's so quiet, by the way, at this rowdy protest.
You can hear the music playing.
Yeah, this is Oscar Peterson.
Oscar Peterson, 1927 to 2007.
Oscar Peterson emerged from the Montreal working-class neighbourhood known as Little Burgundy to become one of the world's greatest piano virtuosos.
His place in the international jazz pantheon is universally recognized.
With this sculpture by Ruth Abernathy, Canada's National Arts Centre proudly commemorates the masterful contribution Oscar Peterson made during his 65 years' career as a musician, recording artist, composer, mentor, commissioned by the Oscar Peterson Sculpture National Committee.
By the way, if anybody wants to go look up a good video on YouTube, you can still find it.
It's a national film board, and I'm fairly certain it was Oscar Peterson who did the jazz music to an amazing visual that was carved and scratched in film.
And it was a beautiful visual work of art.
I saw it as a child and never forgot it.
I think the search terms in the YouTube search engine would be Oscar Peterson, national film board.
Video.
I think.
Okay, anyways, we're now here.
We're back at the war monument, which is still fenced off.
The illusion of threat.
Now I appreciate why Joe Biden fenced off all of Washington for like six months or however long he did it.
The illusion of fear will actually create the emotion of fear.
Do you guys mind being on the interwebs?
How you doing?
You're watching in real time.
I want to thank you so much for what you've done.
Not just for this event, but in the past, just opening people's eyes to what's going on.
There's so much crap.
I open their eyes as mine get open as well.
It's been a wonderful two-year learning program.
Hey, this is Justin.
I know you don't give medical advice, but you are a lawyer.
I wonder if people here would benefit from maybe a short episode on, as protesters, we want to respect the law, but...
When police ask us to do certain things, what are we obliged to do and what are we not?
I understand we have to give identity.
Do we have to tell them where we're going?
No comment.
I'm not going to be responsible for anyone having what happened to that elderly gentleman.
I saw that video and I agree it was bad advice, but I think a lot of people in Ottawa want to respect the law, but they don't want to be pushed around by some unfortunate...
A lot of great police officers here, and I worked in the business for years.
But there are some things that are being done that don't seem appropriate.
And it's nice to know as a citizen.
What are we allowed to do and what are we not?
I'm going to go with the cowardly no comment on that.
But I will say that the convoy's advice itself is record it, comply, and then contest later.
Okay.
And so when they push, look, call me a coward, Internet.
That's a good answer, man.
I don't push back on the...
That's not a bad answer at all.
And by the way, that's the convoy saying that.
And I'm going to get into the convoy, you know, stated mission to overthrow the government.
Record and contest later.
I've heard people say record, comply, but don't grant consent.
So if they want to see something, give it to them, but say, I think there's some legal thing.
I don't know about that, but contest later.
Not that the courts are going to be any better, but contesting with bruises and cuts on your hands versus contesting without those is going to be different.
We're all peaceful.
Have you noticed anything today?
What's been going on?
It's quiet.
We just got here a while ago, but there seem to be pockets of police starting to gather numbers.
I noticed that as well.
Also, I would note, like, I think there was a spot just over, just slightly west of the Parliament buildings.
There was more trucks there yesterday.
I've been going here for the past about five days, bringing my, you know, kids, like my newborn son and my daughter up.
So it's been peaceful.
But there's just like a pocket where their trucks used to be, and now it's like no longer there.
You're from Ottawa.
Yeah, born and raised.
And geographically, how far from the epicenter of this protest have you been, or do you live?
About 10 kilometers.
So you wouldn't have heard any of the honking.
Was there honking at night, or that you knew of?
Did you hear?
Well, so there's an area called Vanier.
I mean, if anyone's interested, you could Google Maps it.
But I heard that you could hear some honking in Vanier.
But obviously, with the 10-day no-honking injunction, there hasn't been any of that.
It's quieter.
I mean, I've never seen a city this quieter.
I think it's like a quiet Sunday morning.
Morning here.
This is probably the most dead day of the protests right now.
Actually, there's no one out.
Maybe it's just the time or something.
What day is it?
We're Thursday morning.
That's correct.
Apparently, the weekend is supposed to be big and festive to the extent that this is still going on.
Okay.
I encourage all you guys, come down and see for yourself.
I mean, I could tell you that the politicians have been grossly lying and misrepresenting.
You're not going to believe it unless you actually come down and see how positive this is.
No one wants to cause problems.
We want to be peaceful.
We don't want to be violent.
We just want the government to hear the message that this constant tyranny of taking people's jobs away because they have concerns of the vaccine is not right.
That's not Canada.
That's what we stand for.
I agree.
Nice to meet you.
Thanks for doing what you do, man.
Appreciate it.
Nice to meet you.
David, take care.
Nice to meet you.
Have a good one.
Alright, so there we go.
It's actually, I will say, eerily quiet.
Almost like, I don't want to say a calm before a storm.
It might be a calm before the festive Saturday where they're expecting lots and lots of people.
I did not do this, people.
I did not do this.
We interviewed them the last time.
How are you gentlemen doing?
Doing good.
You good to talk?
Yeah, for a quick minute.
Okay, one minute exactly.
What's been going on?
We've been busy.
Yeah.
There's been fear-mongering like crazy being spread out.
You know, everybody was scared of the cops going to come in and arrest us all and take us all away last night.
Here we are.
Is this this warm without a generator in here?
There's an RV furnace hanging out down there.
There's batteries down there.
Yeah, we're very good.
So there has been no mass arrests, no social media outages?
No.
You will see a lot of censoring.
Keywords, convoy, stuff like that.
Convoy and blockade get things taken down real fast.
That's why we use the word protest.
Yeah, they can be tough if you start using those words right to describe them.
Have trucks been getting towed as far as you know?
No, not as far as no.
I talked to contacts of mine that are all over the convoy.
There's no travel license.
Awesome.
Thanks, sir.
Be good, people.
Gentlemen.
That's about your first name.
Tyler.
Jordan.
Jordan.
Thank you very much.
And remind me, internet.
Tyler Jordan.
That's almost like Tyler Durden from Fight Club.
Now I have a way to remember.
Okay, see you guys soon.
How are you doing?
Good, good.
My son texted me to tell me I was standing on top of you.
Do you want to be on the interwebs or no?
I don't care.
Okay, so where are you from?
I'm from Ottawa.
How has the last week and a half of the blockade, the siege, been?
I'm sort of living over near the Gleep and nothing, actually.
You can't hear anything from there.
There's no traffic issues or anything like that.
And when you come down, my wife's had a number of appointments, downtown dental appointment and stuff.
So we're almost at Somerset and Kent for those appointments.
It's been perfect because it's always hard to get parking.
It's completely wide open.
And so it's actually been quite good that way.
It's quite quiet.
It's funny.
It's really quiet on those streets.
Quiet and from what some reports are saying, less crime than ordinarily in Ottawa.
Well, I think they have to...
I think the police are trying to make criminal charges, but a criminal charge that is not something you would even think would be criminal, such as failure to show something, or you've got your gas can stored improperly, so they level federal charges on you.
Whatever, you can make up something.
So I think they're trying to pump those numbers up to make it look as if you really do have a lot of criminal activity going on.
But then when you ask, okay, what's the stuff that really matters?
And you find out that, you know, a couple of Ottawa boys come down with baseball bats or something, break up a bunch of stuff and run off.
And then that's, you know, that's the peak of the violence that was done, or what they're terming as criminal activity.
So as far as I can tell, there's really not any criminal activity when I went through the list of stuff.
And again, there's lots of people on social media wanting to point out the really negative things, and I'm not seeing a lot.
And you're not seeing very much about what happened in Winnipeg either, which I find surprising, the guy running.
And the other thing that's funny is that I would have thought to see in the Ottawa media something regarding that guy, simply because he actually worked in a business around the corner.
The individual who drove his car into four protesters in Winnipeg.
This is what one of the owners, part owners of the business was saying is, yeah, we know him.
He worked for us.
We fired him.
But the idea that it's not of a connection.
But one of the other things that I find kind of troubling about this, we went from zero to 60 on xenophobia.
Remember, that was the absolute worst thing about Donald Trump was his xenophobia.
It was used everywhere.
Toward protesters and stuff that's been whipped up so easily by the media.
You hear, you know, I ran into a fellow who was fairly well to do, you could tell by his clothes and stuff, who was skating on the canal.
He thought I was one of the truckers.
I had, you know, I was keeping warm and I had some older clothes on and stuff.
And he goes, oh, you're not a trucker.
And then he went on to tell me that, you know, if these guys were black, they'd all be shot.
This would have all been shot down long ago.
If they were native, they would have all been arrested.
Etc.
And he said, they're just a bunch of...
And then he tried to find whatever the most insultive, like, you know, the N-word for white people, which is, they're just white trash.
They're...
So he came up with a string of terms that they're just a bunch of rednecks, they're just a bunch of...
And it's like, well, the only thing I had to say to him, I said, well, you should...
Go walk up.
Well, you should go explain that to the native elders that are doing the smudging.
Rituals just over here.
And they were doing it at that time, right?
I tell you, the willful ignorance and then speaking with certainty from a position of ignorance is...
We're seeing a lot of it.
If they were black, if they were indigenous, I was here.
They were doing ceremonies in the park.
I've interviewed people of all ethnicities.
And if it were that type of protest, it would be shut down.
Has also proven just to be matter-of-fact incorrect just based on the last two years.
I'm old enough to remember that just before the pandemic, they blacked off the major east-west rail corridors in Canada.
Apparently for some sort of native issues, but they seem to be exclusively manned by Antifa, etc.
And then because it was federal property, the feds seem to be able to control it.
And they just let it go.
That went on for six weeks.
The amount of damage that did to the economy, and a lot of people in Alberta took that really not very well because I think oil shipments, green shipments, a lot of stuff in Alberta moves on rail and has to move its way across.
And it almost looked like it was intentional to go after Alberta.
The idea that people have forgot that so quickly and that he can actually, Trudeau can stand up in front of people and actually say that, hey, this is really damaging the economy.
Were he allowed?
He fostered, I would say.
Because he could control it.
He could control the federal policing property.
Anyway.
Well, it was nice to meet you.
It was nice to meet you.
Enjoy, enjoy, and we'll bump into each other at some point today.
We take care.
All right.
We look like we got another live streamer right here, sir.
Who are you?
Super spreaders.
I met you about four or five days ago and you let us do a shout out on your channel.
You 5X'd our sub count.
Amazing.
And unlocked live streaming for us and everything.
Fantastic.
Fist pump.
Before I was videotaping, running home, uploading.
And now I got StreamYard running with banners.
Fantastic!
Progress!
Another voice.
That's right.
Are you heading this way?
I'm heading that way.
By the way, we kind of actually, I can see a similarity between the two of us.
We look like we might be related.
That's right.
Well down the line.
That's right.
What have you seen today?
I'm German-Scottish, allegedly, but I think one of them took a trip to the Mediterranean and had a little bit of fun one weekend.
How long have you been streaming for?
I've been coming up here every day since the first Friday when we rolled in.
No, but today.
Oh, what do we say?
11 minutes.
Here, I'm turning around, people.
You'll see what we're walking into.
And 11 minutes, so I think we've been on for roughly the same time.
Yeah, yeah.
Might have been Planet of Streams, thank you.
But I just wanted to thank you.
You're from Ottawa?
Yeah, I live seven blocks down.
So you live seven blocks down.
You would have heard the honking for the first four nights?
Sure, yeah.
Were they honking throughout the nights?
Sure, like, you know, your first Friday, Saturday, they would go through the night.
I would certainly feel for people who were living on top of it.
I mean, I remember a couple times walking by a truck and you're like, hey, boom!
Well, that's one thing, but like, where is the residential area here?
Like, none of these, are these residences up there?
They can be kind of randomly anywhere, not really on Sparks.
Ottawa aggressively kept out residential zoning from most of the downtown core its entire existence.
It's only in the last 15 to 20 years when they created the super city of Ottawa.
How's it going?
Hey.
That they started opening up downtown for residencies.
So the people, the earliest places you're going to see residencies is down where Wellington.
Turns into Rito.
So in the very top levels of some of those buildings, our residence is not a lot.
Of the residences that are there, are they primarily government employees who have offices close to Parliament that you know are?
No idea.
So we're coming to the conclusion.
The bottom line, people, is there was noise throughout the night for the first few days.
Just the first few days.
That would die off, of course.
And then by The Monday, gone.
Honking during the day, somewhat in the distance.
And then eventually you could tell when they made the order to...
Yeah, well they're quite clearly respecting the injunction now.
I think what they looked like they might have turned to doing is revving their engines, at least in part.
Okay, this is as quiet as I've ever seen it, but the trucks are still here.
Yeah.
How's it going?
For me, my YouTube page is full of...
I'm always starting at Metcalf and Lisker, seven blocks down.
And it's just, someone wouldn't have to tell you something unusual with this house.
You just go wherever you want, do whatever you want, drive wherever you want.
The only stores closed are ones that willfully, voluntarily close.
I had read somewhere that the city issued an order for restaurants to close for their safety.
Someone sent a screenshot, I mean, I wasn't able to verify.
Did you read it?
It's very cleverly worded.
Was it a real, as far as you know?
Not an order of any kind.
Okay, no, so it's a recommendation from the city.
Yeah, just whipping up.
I got beer, and of course some people ate that up.
The most hurtful of all is the LCBO, the Ontario Controlled Liquor Stores.
They've all closed in the downtown core.
I mean, that's a government organization.
What rate do they have to take a political stance?
Because there is no danger.
They stayed open the entire week, right next to my house, down there, and then all of a sudden they're closed.
Second week.
There weren't any incidences that they claimed that there was violence.
I know that I could even imagine maybe that might be a good policy decision so people don't get, even among the convoy protesters, they don't get too rowdy.
Keep liquor out of the zone.
But all the grocery stores are open with beer.
Well, beer.
Beer takes too long.
Beer never cost anything.
All right, people, turning around so you can see what's going on here.
You hear some cars revving.
All of the trucks are here, but the crowd obviously very small.
But there's a crowd.
Here, check it out.
So as an observer with some finesse and legal things, how do you think it's going to end?
I've made my prediction that there's going to be behind the scenes wink wink nudge nudge of the politicians to compel you know what's the word coax their appointed medical experts to recommend certain things so that they can then say we're adhering to the science and it's not because of the convoy but the outcomes could be the same like like children who have to feel that they've won the battle so you know I would I'm doing it because I wanted to do it, not because you told me type thing.
That's my theory.
That's my prediction.
We'll see where it goes.
Behind the scenes, they do a little bit of stuff, and then maybe the truckers go home, and then maybe a week later they announce that the mandate's in.
I think that Dr. Tam's going to come out and say, time to pull back the restrictions.
Omicron is the savior, and that's it.
Right.
We can conveniently get...
Everyone saves face and everyone wins.
So my theory is, by the way, there's the old expression, hurt people hurt people.
And Justin Trudeau's ego has been hurt.
And when someone gets humiliated, they lash out even harder as opposed to recoiling.
He dug in so hard.
Double down, triple down, four triple down.
You create a situation where you keep pulling on the knot.
And it keeps getting tighter and more difficult to undo afterwards.
My brother once told me to get a knot undone, you have to push on both ends of the rope.
But one person is polling like it's a tug of war of their political life, and it probably is.
Okay, so there's some cops here.
I'm just going to turn around.
We'll go find some people to talk to.
Super spreaders, thanks to you and love you for the bump that you gave us.
We'll see you again.
I'm down here every day.
Absolutely.
Cops are walking through.
Everything looks good.
There seems to be some real media here.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean real media.
I meant like real camera media.
Like this dude here, I want to see if they're mainstream legacy because they've got a nice camera here.
How you doing, man?
I'm back for more.
So I'm not recording you.
I'm recording me.
Are you with a main outlet?
Are you with an outlet?
Because you've got a very serious camera.
Which news outlet are you in?
NHG, Japanese public people.
Okay, cool.
How long have you been here for?
Just a few days.
Do you want to be online?
I'm streaming right now to a bunch of people.
You want to talk for 30 seconds?
No.
What have you noticed so far?
How do you find it?
Beautiful, peaceful?
Alright, have a good one.
Thank you.
Japanese news network, so I think maybe was not comfortable giving an interview.
Here you go.
They're revving the engines.
They're gonna have to get an injunction to cease revving of engines for 10 days.
Hey, how you doing?
I want to thank you for that, I don't know if it was three or six hour long live video you put up on YouTube for the first weekend.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for helping disseminate the truth.
I really appreciate you, man.
I don't like being lied to.
Me either, man.
I can't stand it.
Can I just say...
I'm clipping it!
I'm clipping that people.
I'm going to watch this.
Thank you.
All right.
This is amazing, guys.
This is like that scene in Braveheart.
I'm telling you, it has the Braveheart vibe.
The drumming.
How are you doing?
Oh, thank you.
You don't mind being on camera?
Not at all.
Yep, stay in loud.
Where are you from?
Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls.
That's not close.
That's like six hours?
Yes.
And how long have you been here for?
We came in yesterday.
We're staying in tomorrow.
All right.
How do you find it?
It's a baseball.
I'm so happy.
There's a great idea that people are standing here.
Amazing.
This is a moment here.
This is a good one.
This is a good one.
You're fantastic.
My pleasure, my pleasure.
We've been following you for a long time, man.
You've seen my descent into madness.
Have a good one.
We've been following you for a long time.
I'm watching you.
I'm getting here.
Dude, your dad is watching.
You want to say hi?
Hi.
How's it going?
Yeah, absolutely.
You have my camera in the right way.
Hi.
Thanks, buddy.
Nice to meet you, too.
I know you, but I don't remember you.
Oh, David.
David?
Yes.
I saw you on the right way.
Oh, yeah.
I've been going crazy on here.
Yeah.
Well, if you want to get me on Viva Frye is my YouTube name.
Oh, Viva Frye.
Viva Frye?
No, Viva Frye.
Viva V-I-V-R.
F-R-E-E.
There you go.
Now you'll get me everywhere.
You'll see me on social.
Oh, yeah?
Okay.
My name is, your name is David, but that's...
That's a...
All right.
My pleasure.
All right.
So that...
That moment of the beating of the drums...
The moment of the beating of the drums is...
It's over, but we're getting our first Viva Scorsese, Viva Kubrick through the trucks.
Oh yeah.
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
Oh, action shot with the flag coming down the middle.
We've got food and coffee here.
Brewing a new pot.
Oh, I didn't realize it's a young individual serving food.
Remind me, people, when I started looking back at the chat to talk about the CBC spinning this.
Do you guys mind being on camera?
What do you have to say, people?
Freedom together ensemble.
Where are you in from?
How far away is that?
It's worth a drive.
Are you in as part of the convoy or came in to support?
Yeah, on support.
We've got fuel in some of these trucks.
We bring food up.
We cooked 550 burgers yesterday, a thousand we just brought up today.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Gentlemen.
All right.
I consider myself to be an incredibly good judge of character.
That man had extremely sympathetic, understanding eyes, and I would dare say my 30-second assessment, body language demeanor, he's a good, thoughtful, loving person.
You can detect extremes.
Both extremes you can detect quickly.
It's the middle ground that takes more time.
End all mandates.
CBC spinning this protest now.
As the next step in their fake news coverage of this.
From ignoring.
Doesn't happen.
It's not happening.
There's no convoy.
To distracting.
Look at that convoy over there.
I don't want to bump my butt here.
Look at that.
Hundreds of truckers in British Columbia protesting road conditions.
To stealth editing because the truth had become undeniable.
Oh, that convoy is not the one that's going to Ottawa.
to reporting on and acknowledging to outright demonizing and now they've gone from demonizing to love joy.
Won't someone please think of the children?
As if to say that the children here with their parents in this convoy are at risk of something.
CBC putting out that that juju into the universe that thought into the world that Drop a fake news into the cesspool of a urine bucket that is the media.
Parents are endangering their children by having their children here.
No shame.
No shame.
That was coming in...
Coming in hot.
I think I I have a feeling that those...
How are you doing, guys?
I follow you on YouTube all the time, man.
You want to be on a YouTube livestream as we speak?
Why not?
Okay, what do you have to say?
Where are you from?
And what do you have to say?
I'm from Parry Sound, Ontario.
How far away is that?
Five hours.
And how long...
Home of Bobby York.
You know where that is?
I know.
Well, I know who Bobby York is.
Okay, well, there we are.
We live in a hometown.
Okay.
And how long have you been here for?
Just come this morning.
We just came for the day.
All right.
Yep.
I watch you going up and down.
So you've lived this vicariously through the interwebs and now you see it for yourself?
Alright.
You drove five hours?
Yes.
And you're going to drive five hours back today?
Yes, today we are.
Came in for one day to support you.
Are you going to come back on the weekend?
No, but we came today to support everybody today.
Amazing.
And what has been your impression thus far?
So far, everything is awesome.
Not what I've been hearing.
Like the police are friendly.
I saw them here talking to these guys and telling them they need.
Giving them their phone number and telling them.
But yeah, awesome.
I'm glad you're doing this.
It has to be done.
I'll say it over and over again.
My pet peeve is being lied to.
It's just reality.
I'm going to go back to the one spot where I saw vandalism a week and a half ago.
Let me just see if it's still there.
That was the one spot where it was written with reddish paint.
Okay, so it's the one...
I'm recording me, guys.
I'm not recording.
I just want to see this.
This was the one spot where we saw what could be described as...
Sir.
Nice to meet you.
I saw your video going to Staples the other day in Montreal.
You don't mind being on the camera?
Nope.
Okay.
Where are you from?
Ottawa.
The Staples.
Oh, God, yes.
That was the vaccine.
Implementing the vaccine passport in Quebec.
They're rolling back the measures, but not the vaccine passport because science.
Take care.
Thank you.
That was the only spot where I saw any vandalism.
It said Liberté with what appeared to be red paint.
It looks like they tried to rub it off, but that should scrub off easily enough.
But that was all that we've seen.
In the unedited...
We are now on...
Okay, it was Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.
I just lost count.
I think it's eight days now.
Seven or eight days.
Gentlemen, you guys mind being on?
All right.
Where are you from, sir?
Montreal.
I'm actually, I voted for you.
I'm in NDG.
Booyah.
So you're the one.
Amazing.
How long have you been here for?
I just got here about a half hour ago.
I'm leaving.
I can't stay, but I had to come here just to see what this is.
And my wife is watching right here.
Well, your wife, this is another streamception.
How you doing?
Wait a minute.
Beautiful dog.
First dog of the day.
Let's see.
Come here, doggy.
She'll ignore you.
Well, not if I do this.
Oh yeah, you like your dogs.
There you go.
I got it.
I got it.
Can I get that picture of you?
100%.
I don't want to bring it.
It would be too much of a hindrance.
He's a little sensitive dog.
He starts to limp because of the salt.
I was going to bring that pole thing and take the paralyzed one.
At least you fixed your hair today.
Greasy hair don't care.
My friend told me that.
There you go.
Amazing.
I gotta get one too.
Absolutely.
Let's do this.
And I'm gonna...
Well, just follow the camera.
Pressure.
Pressure.
His phone's going dead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I haven't used his phone in a while.
All right.
Thank you.
So we're...
Do you mind being on?
What's that?
Do you mind being on?
No, no.
I don't mind.
So we were way over here and we heard you were here and I said we had no problem finding him.
Look for the hair.
Look for the hair.
I put on better boots today.
I put on the fogs.
Yes, I heard you.
I heard the Viva in the background.
So you live in Ottawa?
No, I'm from Waseg Boots.
Where's that?
You know where Barry is?
Yeah, okay.
Georgian Bay.
Alright, that's not close.
No, six hours.
How long have you been here for?
This is my second day.
Okay, how long are you staying?
Well, until Sunday morning.
Alright.
Apparently Saturday is going to be hopefully a big day with people coming in.
Well, you can't walk around with Sasha because I got a leash.
So try to get through a crowd.
Wait, I just wanted to come down to see it myself.
You have to come down and see yourself.
So you can watch it on TV or on YouTube and you've got to get down here.
Like yesterday was awesome talking to people.
Anybody will talk to you.
Everyone's nice.
It's a totally different atmosphere.
And the truckers are awesome.
It's awesome down here.
I've even found, hate me in the chat people, I've even found the cops have been awesome.
Which leads me to believe certain things, but when there are rumors of, you know, they've been given orders to mass arrests and if they don't do it, at some point when you're issuing those orders that the police, if the orders are real and the police aren't following them, that's when it's time to start re-strategizing if you're a politician.
Gentlemen, everyone, I'm going to continue walking and talking.
Enjoy the day.
How are you doing?
Keep your hair neat.
When it gets clumpy, then I'm going to wash it again.
Was it windy the other day when you were on?
It was windy-ish, I think.
Because I'm like, Viva looks like he just got out of bed.
No,'cause I had just washed my hair, so.
I started calling on Twitter.
Oh yeah, well that's more of a live one.
We drove down from Thunder Bay yesterday.
This is the best thing we've done.
Do you mind being on camera?
Drove down from Thunder Bay.
That's not close.
No, we drove by two days from Thunder Bay.
This is the best thing going as far as I'm concerned in Canada right now.
Let's keep it up, hold the line, and get this finished.
If I may ask, what do you do for a living?
I'm retired, but I was a construction worker.
All right.
In the last two years, how have they impacted you?
Well, I've been retired for a few years, but already I've been hearing that our union is...
Mandating vaccines to enter their offices and what have you.
And I don't think it's right.
It was never put to a vote.
And that's just the way it is.
And I think that this has all got to go away.
Amazing.
Nice to meet you.
Have a good one.
Sir, do you mind being on camera?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
You do not mind being on camera.
Are you here supporting or are you from Ottawa?
Okay, let's see this.
You're from Ottawa?
Originally from Calgary.
came here two years ago.
I know that guy!
How have you how have you found this?
Like I I'm glad a lot of people are waking up.
I can see that stuff is going to come back in a minute.
How old are you?
23. God bless you.
Thank you.
See you soon.
These are, um, the same media, the same CBC that tried to tell you that this was a, okay, how you doing?
That dog had kudu.
How you doing?
Hey, I follow you on Instagram.
Twitter is the better one.
Twitter is the saucy Viva.
The same CBC, by the way, that is telling you that this convoy didn't exist, and then when it tells you it did exist, that it's a racist, xenophobic, hate-filled thing, that it's an extremist looking to overthrow the government, that same CBC Before the data was even in, was telling the world that suicide was going down or had gone down in the early days of the pandemic.
Telling you that suicide went down in 2020, where in the same article, you know, when they bury the lead, it says, but it's very difficult to determine the numbers because oftentimes it takes a lot of time to get those statistics in.
In the same article where they say suicide is down, but distress calls are up 100, 200 percent.
It is the same media that does the exact same ignore, distract, divert, and then just outright lie.
Because now studies are coming out showing no.
Not exactly true.
And certainly, if you include distressed deaths, overdoses, drugs, then it becomes even more apparent.
But those who want to believe that somehow...
Lockdowns, unemployment, social isolation does not somehow exacerbate that existing problem.
I've got a bridge to sell you.
Hey guys, how you doing?
So you got a serious rig.
I tried to bring it.
I forgot my SD card.
I wrapped down here so quickly.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hold this for one second.
Grab this.
Tell everyone who you are.
I might have an SD.
SD micro or SD?
Regular.
Hey, so I came down here to see Viva.
He's been doing awesome.
You're live.
Don't say anything you're going to regret.
I know.
He's been doing awesome.
He's been documenting the real news down here.
How people actually feel.
What people actually think.
And honestly, he's been doing such an amazing job.
I just had to come down here and see him for myself.
Dude, tell the world who you are.
So honestly, I'm Roger.
I live in Ottawa.
Honestly, I'm 100% against the mandates I have been in since day one, as many people have been.
But what this did, this unifying truckers coming together, bringing Canada together to literally fight for what we all wanted to two years ago, but we couldn't do it as individuals.
We need to all come together and fight for our freedom and get back the rights that we previously had.
You know it's going to suck.
You summed it all up perfectly, my friend.
Couldn't have another way.
Okay, well I'm looking for an SD card.
Give me 30 more seconds.
I might have...
If not, no worries, man.
No worries.
I feel bad.
I just rushed out.
Oh, you know what?
I do not have one.
That's okay.
It's okay.
I had a micro, but I can't...
I even might have had a...
Oh, it is.
Well, that's it.
So, what's your name?
What's your channel?
Roger Saint-Germain, Freedom Convoy News.
Roger Saint-Germain, like the band?
Yes.
I remember I went to Saint-Germain concert with my wife.
I did not like the music.
St. Germain is S-T or S-A-I-N-T?
ST. Germain.
G-E-R-M-A-I-N.
And it is the news?
Freedom Convoy News.
Freedom Convoy News.
All right.
And Freedom Convoy Voice.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for everything.
My pleasure.
My pleasure.
Have a good one.
What you're doing is amazing.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
Where are you from?
Ottawa.
Ottawa?
Far enough from the epicenter?
Have you been here in Hawking?
No, I'm South Ottawa.
I'm in the country.
I stayed here last night overnight to see if the police are going to make a move.
I want to be here to witness it.
They have not made any moves yet, eh?
And they're still letting people come in with gas?
Yeah, as far as I know.
Being a local, I don't need that much fuel, right?
Just staying overnight tonight and last night just to see for myself what happens.
But what you're doing is amazing.
The people out in the world have to see this.
I've been watching you and I know my father-in-law and many other people.
My family members are watching you.
And what you're reporting needs to go out.
People need to realize that we are peaceful.
We're here.
We're legally allowed to be here.
This protest is nothing but...
It's amazing.
The people I've met, the resolve to hold the line.
And all we're asking for is just respect the Charter of Rights.
Every single mandate has gone against our rights.
And there's never been an emergency.
The bar has not been set by enough, in my opinion, for them to do this.
And if I may, by the way, just also not to protect, what's your name?
James.
Not just to protect James.
Brian Peckford himself, the former MP who's filed suit, said, you know, if the numbers were different, maybe, you know, certain measures could have been justified.
But by his understanding of what, you know, the Constitution imposes by requirements, he said it in his interview with Jordan Peterson.
Sorry, go ahead.
And the only thing I would add to that is, like, you know, even if there was, The idea that we don't have to review of it consistently.
Two years of emergency and they haven't had public debates.
Exactly.
Like, come on.
We have to be heard.
And that's all we're at.
And the people are, you know, I know a lot of the arguments against this protest are, why are we coming to Ottawa?
These are provincial mandates.
It's because Ottawa has the power to say, these are illegal.
What you're doing is illegal to stop.
And I will not just say it.
By the way, Ottawa promised a billion dollars to the provinces to implement the...
Unlawful, immoral, unconstitutional vaccine passport, in my humble opinion.
They promised money, so they are basically...
They're doing with the provinces what they've done with the media, buying them off.
Absolutely right.
Do you know where Metcalfe speaks?
Yes.
Where is it?
Okay, I will help you.
Sorry, let me take you on top of my head.
Or the chat might get there.
Sleeping in the truck doesn't give you the best to sleep.
Metcalfe, Metcalfe, come on.
It's perpendicular.
Yes.
Okay, so I will find it.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
Pleasure to meet you.
The same.
Have a good one.
Yeah, the argument that it's provincial mandates and not federal.
First of all, like James said, bullcrap because the federal can actually take these issues to court if a province is violating the charter.
Gentlemen, how's it going?
Great.
How about you?
Very good.
Can I say hi to someone?
Absolutely, please.
Darling, I love you.
Thank you for being supportive.
How long have you been here for?
We come just about every day.
My dad's a bit further down.
In the convoy?
We're not with the convoy.
We're in Ottawa.
We're here just out of the city.
And we love what they're doing.
The place is beautiful.
The sidewalks are clean.
Crime is down.
Crime is down.
It's a great time to come here.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
I've been enjoying your footage.
Thank you very much.
My pleasure.
Take care.
Have a good one.
I'm going to get back to that thought where I was.
Oh yes, the provinces.
I'm fairly certain, I may be wrong, I may be wrong, but I am fairly certain that the federal government can take to the courts a charter violation that is carried out by a province.
It is true the aggrieved individuals whose rights are being violated themselves have locus standing.
They have standing to sue.
But I believe, and I'm fairly certain, but someone in the chat, correct me if I'm wrong.
Audio louder, please.
If I'm wrong, I'm fairly certain that the federal government can challenge a provincial violation of charter rights.
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 1982 Charter, the Constitution Act, provides protections of the citizens from the government, but not just the federal government.
Provincial, municipal, government entities.
So I'm fairly certain, I've asked a couple of lawyer friends to, you know, confirm or contradict, but I'm fairly certain that if a province comes in, like a province with an unlawful, unconstitutional, I don't know, I could pick a law, but whatever, and violates the provisions of the charter, the federal government has standing to take that province to court to challenge the constitutionality of the measure.
So, it's not just that the federal government's not doing that.
The federal government is subsidizing the charter violations, in my humble opinion.
My hands are going to be chapped this afternoon.
See if I can find something.
So I'm looking for Metcalf.
That's right.
Hold on.
That's why I forget.
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
We're going to meet up with David Anber, the lawyer, who's representing that elderly gentleman who was roughed up in an arrest because he honked his horn.
And then followed the advice of whoever was recording and told him that he didn't have to provide ID, and then looked like he was going back to his car, and the cops got a little too aggressive, given that there's two of them.
Two cops, armed cops, literally twice the size of an 80-year-old man, and they roughed them up proper.
There's a little wind today, so I'm going to try to keep the mic out of the direction of the wind.
I'm going to ask the police officers where...
Where Metcalf is.
It's very quiet, but it's only quiet because the pedestrians are citizens, individuals, not because of the trucks.
The same trucks are here, the same roads are blocked.
The same F Trudeau signs over there.
Gentlemen, I'm recording backwards, not you guys.
Do you know where Metcalf Street is?
And it's perpendicular, right?
Okay, awesome.
Thank you.
Okay, going back.
I don't know what that flag is.
Who knows what that flag is?
Okay, now I'm going to show my ignorance, but I would have said the Irish flag because it has the colors, but I'm thinking the bars go the other way.
Anyone in the chat, which flag is that?
And I'm going to turn it around so I can see the answers.
Green, white, and red.
What flag is it?
Yeah, busting that old guy was pitiful and disgusting.
18,000 watching.
You're near little Italy.
Go to the center of the protest.
Hungary.
Hungary.
Okay.
Thank you.
Interesting.
It's beautiful.
How you doing?
A beautiful image of the flag.
Where are you guys in from?
May I record?
Do you want to be on camera?
Sure.
Sudbury, Ontario.
Are you with the convoy or just showing support?
I'm with the convoy.
You've been here from the beginning?
Since day one, yeah.
Are you a trucker?
No, I'm a carpenter.
Okay.
How has the last two years been for you?
Well, it's been a struggle.
It's been a definite struggle.
But right now, with this peace and hope and unity that we're having, it's such a blessing.
I'm going to ask you a loaded question.
Is this the best you've felt in two years?
Yes, absolutely.
I feel free and I feel like I'm with a family I've never...
I didn't know I had.
The biggest fair reunion we didn't know we had.
I feel blessed.
Someone said they love your shirt.
Let's see it.
On the right side of history, yes.
I like it.
Awesome.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, I'll play you a song one time.
Do you want to do it right now?
Sure.
We're going to have another.
This is like the day one moment with Trista Souk from Ottawa who played down over there.
Okay.
Let's do this.
I'm going to warm up my hands.
I just got to chew my guitar.
It might take a minute.
Okay, let's do this.
In the meantime, this is going to be good.
What kind of music do you play?
Folk music.
All right.
What's your name?
My name is Pat Burns.
Pat Burns.
Mr. Burns.
Oh, no.
Wait a minute.
What is Mr. Burns?
Montgomery Burns.
Montgomery, yeah.
And do you have social media that you want people to follow you on?
I don't, but maybe after this I'll consider.
All right.
Okay, now I'll look over here while you get warmed up, and I'm going to warm my hands up.
Ask for...
Oh, ask for a comment for a glass.
Oh, fine, it's not that cold.
It's just moist.
It's humid.
Oh God, now I just saw Justin Trudeau's face in my head when I said moistly.
Oh God.
Okay, he's going to tune the guitar.
I'm going to get in close.
Maybe I...
Do I break out the good mic?
No, I'm not going to break out the good...
You know what?
While he does that, I'm going to use battery for a second.
To make sure we get this.
Okay.
Plug is out.
And...
Son of a beasting.
Okay.
Let's do this.
Mic check one, two.
Is that audio better, people?
Let's wait for the answer.
Bulgaria?
Hungary.
So that's definitely...
Based on that...
Emoji, flag emoji.
It was hungry.
Okay, now, is this audio good through this device here?
Yes?
Okay, good.
Sorry, I've broken out the good mic.
Okay.
I'm hearing the harmonics.
I'm hearing the harmonics.
Let me know if you can hear that when I put the mic near him.
Let me know if you can hear that when I put the mic near him.
Those mics are made...
I lost it.
Time is up.
Time is not up, sir.
Tuning a guitar is a very...
important thing.
Other than that, everyone in the chat, how has been the day so far?
Do you see bags under my eyes?
I woke up early.
Very tired.
Sounds much better.
Okay, good.
Okay, now I'm seeing...
Oh man, just buy a tuner.
Okay.
Patience, people.
Good things come to those who wait.
All right.
Okay, I'm gonna This is a song I wrote for my wife in the summertime.
And it does seem to apply to the situation, I guess, because everybody here, I love them all.
I love everybody here.
And if you're watching this and you're thinking about coming to Ottawa, please come to Ottawa.
Every single one.
We need every single people, especially people with love in their hearts.
This is a spiritual war.
This song is called Just Like You.
This song is called Just Like You.
Just Like You.
Let's see some clapping emojis, people.
Alright, now.
Taking that out.
That was fantastic.
Sir, thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
If you go to Viva Frye at the 55-minute mark, you can clip this and share it wherever you want.
Viva Frye.
V-I-V-A-F-R-E-I.
Thank you so much.
Not to make you nervous after the fact, you were singing for 16,000 people.
Awesome!
I love you!
Have a good one.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
Okay, Mike's out.
Putting back in the charger.
Oh, it's right here.
Yep.
Yes, people, I know I need to get a decent mic.
I need to get the adapter so I can run the charger and a mic at the same time.
But actually, now it's so quiet that I don't really need an external mic.
The first day I came out here, it was loud.
When I was in the epicenter, without that earbud mic thing, couldn't hear a thing.
Of course, what you couldn't hear was exactly what we were here to hear.
Say that five times in a row.
Here's another live streamer.
Inception, Longstreet.
Inception, Longstreet.
He doesn't know that he will be forever remembered in this live stream.
So, yeah, I'm gonna go meet David Amber, who's representing the elderly gentleman who was roughed up by two massive, massive police officers.
The guy's 5 '2", so he's clearly shorter than the average person.
But even him at 5 '2", those two cops were very large.
Now that song's gonna be in my head.
I am just like you.
Very reminiscent.
Do I want to say Alice in Chains?
Alice in Chains acoustic.
Something unplugged for sure.
How you guys doing?
Good.
You mind being on the cameras?
Where are you in from?
Brayside, Ontario.
Where's that?
45 minutes of the...
We've been watching you.
You're doing a great job.
Thank you very much.
It's been an honor and a pleasure.
What I love is that it's spawned...
A bunch of people live streaming.
This is going to be the most well-documented, violent, peaceful revolution you've ever seen in your life.
It's awesome.
It's great.
It's awesome.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
Thank you.
It's like, can you imagine this is being live-streamed by a half dozen people in real time at any given time, and yet there are still these lying politicians and lying media types.
Trying to misrepresent what's actually going on here.
You may not like the honking, and I can appreciate that.
I will not go on that limb to say honking is violence.
Although, interesting fact, above a certain decibel level, it will cause cardiac arrest.
Like, you know, if you're in front of a jet engine.
Look it up.
There's a decibel level after which it will cause death.
But I mean, I think we're at like, you know, 150 deaths.
I don't know what it is.
Whatever.
So the honking is one thing, but everything else, people are saying it, repeating it, and making it true in their own minds, despite the fact that it is demonstrably false, and there is ample evidence out there to allow them to come to the, not the conclusion, the understanding that it's demonstrably false.
But having what you already believe reaffirmed by others who are in positions of authority, media, politicians, feels good.
Feels like you're on the winning team.
You down with OPP?
Am I going to get flagged for that?
Yep.
Ontario Provincial Police people, not the rap gang.
Queen Street.
Gentlemen?
Metcalf.
Is it that way?
Metcalf?
Oh yeah, so it's all the way down.
I'm going this way.
Okay.
Cool.
Yes.
Oh, absolutely.
A Spartan shirt.
I remember Spartan races back when we had freedom.
Here, let's do this.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
Guys, Spartan, that was the first thing I did on YouTube.
Everyone in the chat, you may not know this, go Google Wrecking Spartan.
Like wrecking ball, but with Spartan instead of ball.
Wrecking Spartan.
And if you, I hope it doesn't change your impression of me.
I used to run the Spartan races.
Lots of them in a suit and a tie lip-syncing pop music.
And I didn't just do the short ones.
I did the long ones.
I did the Ultra Beast.
The Ultra Beast, which was 50 kilometers and obstacles.
And you had to get approved for it the first year.
I think I did it five years in a row, but certainly four years in a row.
And one time I finished like top 30 or top 35 in 12 hours.
It was intense to say the least.
Albert Street.
More Convoy.
So I've gotten two diverging instructions as to where Metcalf is.
I'm going to go with the first one.
Metcalf.
Go left.
Let's see if I find them.
I'll ask someone else.
But man, yeah, I used to do those Spartan races.
They were fun.
How's it going?
Do you want to be on it right now?
Okay.
Some people are scared of the internet.
The perpetuity of the internet.
Lots of police walking the streets.
I don't know that I want to go down.
That is Slater Street.
I'll walk down this way and see what the convoy looks like over here.
Incidentally, what time?
It's been an hour and three minutes.
We started at 1046.
So 11:49.
Okay, we're fine.
Gentlemen, do you know where Metcalf Street is?
Okay.
Perfect, thank you.
This is, uh, by the way, so this is evidence as well that even though there's trucks on both sides of the road...
There's an open lane for emergency, for whatever, and I'm looking behind me, so no cars coming from behind me.
Cars are coming from the front in a few seconds, so I will duck off the road.
Stop the tyranny.
What's really amazing, like, I've had the discussion with people, they object to the term tyranny.
My ears are blocking.
They object to the term totalitarian.
They object to the term prison, not prison, police state.
And I'm like, if you don't think that the government detaining you by what is effectively house arrest, because, hold on, never mind.
If you don't think that the government forcibly ordering you to be detained in your house by curfew is not house arrest.
We have different definitions.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
I just found out about you on Facebook with my friends.
Do you want to be in a video?
Sure.
I'm watching you right now.
Okay.
Where are you from?
Gunville, Ontario.
How long have you been here for?
I just came up last night, but my husband's been here since the beginning.
Hi, Deb and Al.
Is your husband a trucker?
Yeah.
And how has...
So move over here.
We'll get off the road.
Just explain to the world what the last two years of your life has looked like and your husband.
And now he can't.
And yeah, our family, we weren't able to see our grandson right away.
Our family's rather divided.
Divided on policy, divided on responses.
mandates and everything else.
So I was indifferent, but I decided to come to see it for myself and mainstream media.
I never believed that they were liars, but it is all a lie.
And it's so disheartening.
I don't, I just don't watch the news anymore.
And For two years, I watched it faithfully every night, and it's all alive.
I want to ask the personal questions, but I don't want to get involved in the family divide.
What did that division look like in terms of support versus not support?
The difference between parents and kids or between spouses?
Well, my husband's not vaccinated.
I'm boosted, and it doesn't matter to us.
I don't believe we have the right to ask people, yet people are getting divided on it, and that is where it's wrong.
If you feel good to do it, do it.
If you don't feel good to do it, do it.
And don't ask anybody.
It's nobody's business.
It's a freedom to do what we want, right?
And that's why I'm here now, because I'm like, okay, the lies need to be shown to the public.
And it's all been lies.
I came up yesterday, and I was up last night, one night, and I've seen nothing but beautiful stuff.
The outpouring of support is beyond belief.
And I saw one protester last week holding a sign saying, go home, and that's all I've seen in the thousands and thousands of people.
Fantastic.
Nice to meet you.
I am so glad I got to see you.
See ya.
Bye bye.
Well, it's funny.
Right on line with what I was saying in terms of some people don't think it's tyrannical to tell you what you have to put on your body.
Some people don't think it's tyrannical to tell you who you can and cannot see.
How you can and cannot celebrate religious holidays.
How you can and cannot mourn.
The death of loved ones.
How you can and cannot be with your wife who's delivering a baby.
And if you don't think that that's tyrannical or totalitarian or a police state, well, I mean, it was Voltaire.
You can't convince someone they're a prisoner if they revere their chains.
I may have mangled the expression and misattributed it, but you know what I'm saying.
Okay, let's see.
Hey, how you doing?
Good.
Quiet.
I mean, it's quieter than Montreal was this morning.
Okay.
Alright, we will find David Anber.
And look at this.
Beautiful.
Support our truckers.
Canadian flag.
It's...
Trudeau's legacy.
Pride in the Canadian flag is going to represent disdain for Justin Trudeau.
But this has been, I think, the most well-documented protest ever.
And the...
I'm not calling it an industry.
I think now it's going to be a genre of...
Oh, this is cruel.
Yeah, look at the...
Finish on that truck.
See, I don't like cars, but I like this truck.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's it.
Super duty.
This is going to, like, literally revolutionize the way protests are now documented.
Although there will obviously be some protests where...
It may be more or less advisable to do this.
Here, let's see.
Oh, we're on Metcalfe Street.
Oh yeah, I think I found it, eh?
And now I'm going to see where the lawyer is.
I'm going to meet with a lawyer on the corner of the street.
I hope.
I hope.
Kiss him.
I just caught an odor of something interesting.
Smells like spicy, spicy omelette.
Without the omelette.
Okay.
55 Metcalf.
How you doing?
Okay, we're close.
I think we're close to meeting David Anber, who is now working with Rebel News, or maybe with the Freedom Convoy.
David Anber, at David Anber, A-N-B-E-R, Alpha, Novembo, Bravo, Echo, Romeo, on Twitter, is doing the legal work.
And his first case, or not the first case, but the one now that is in the news is very...
It's shocking.
Oh, now I smell barbecue and I'm hungry.
This is probably the most pollution that I've seen thus far.
Rice wafers.
How you doing?
Okay, I can't eat between breakfast and lunch and dinner, but what do you have there?
I have two, made for my grandmother's.
Deer stew.
All good stuff.
You said deer stew?
Yeah, deer stew, because I'm a hunting guy, you know?
Okay, hold on.
Do you mind being on camera?
No.
So that is deer that you've hunted yourself?
Yes, deer that I hunt myself.
Made with love.
We waited last night.
Where are you from?
Yeah, Sherbrooke.
Sherbrooke?
Yeah.
I've been here since day one and I come back at my house and I made it full of love.
I go to my girlfriend, my dog and all, and I come back with a lot of food for everyone.
Les gars de la saucisse, company by her town, give us 1,000 sausage.
Let's make sure everyone hears that.
What is it called?
Les gars?
Les gars de la saucisse.
Les gars de la saucisse means the guys of the sausage.
The sausage guys.
Sausage guys give 1,000 sausage for everyone out there.
So Friday, we'll make a sausage for everyone.
You know what?
I may have a...
You have a moral obligation to taste your stew that you've made with hunted deer.
Can I have a spoonful?
Okay.
I'm making an exception, people.
Hold on.
I'm gonna do this.
I don't...
Oh, yeah.
Okay, putting the camera down.
I think it's morally...
It is morally required.
I don't think it's...
Oh, it doesn't matter.
I just want to take a little bite.
Yeah, okay, we're doing it.
I'm gonna take the charger out.
This is gonna turn into a...
Another guy's got food.
This is what's going on.
So this is...
So this is Sherbrooke deer stew.
And it was done with a rifle.
My grandmother put all his love.
His grandmother made this.
This is fantastic.
I don't know if it's hot or not, but it's really good.
It doesn't matter.
I like...
I can eat that every day of the week.
Yeah.
For every meal of the day.
Yeah, seriously, that's...
How do you say it?
Reconfortant.
Putting smile on face.
Comfort food.
Yeah, comfort food.
I don't know if it's hot or...
It's cold.
Oh, we can wait maybe 15 minutes?
It will be...
speak French?
Yeah, 15 minutes.
I like the counter protest that we were interviewing the other day.
Nothing to say.
That's good.
You give them the opportunity and they kind of like...
Thank you.
I want to hear you.
Thank you.
It's nice, but we know we disagree.
We'll agree to disagree on some things.
Yeah, but at least you give them the opportunity.
And if they have a good story or some facts to lay out, I think that would help their side.
Absolutely.
Thank you very much.
All right, I've done it.
Let me just make sure I have no food in my teeth.
How's it going?
I'm going to do a tooth check to 20,000 people.
Good enough.
Wave and load that.
Good enough.
Hold on.
We're good.
Okay, so I believe I'm not far from meeting at David Amber.
That's right.
I wiped my face on my jacket.
Despite telling the kids not to do it.
Because parenting is a lot like government, apparently.
Do as I say, not as I do.
That's not true, by the way.
On the meaningful things.
And I tell the kids, by the way, if you want to wash your own clothes, then you can wipe your face all over them.
So this is Metcalfe Street, and there's one lane that is kept open for traffic and for emergencies.
Businesses do not seem to be open, but it's not clear if it's because...
Gentlemen, how goes it?
Alberta for freedom?
Oh, I'd love to see that on the highway.
Oh, I'd love to see that on the highway.
No vax passports, no lockdowns, no mandates.
Oh yeah.
I said it from the beginning, the idea...
How you doing?
The idea that lockdowns became a tool of democratic governments, the biggest trick the devil ever played was convincing people that lockdowns were democratic in the absence of any scientific justification.
And now that we know they've done nothing.
Well, by the way, we now know that they did virtually nothing.
What do you do?
Listen to the same government that implemented two years of the most crippling measures that have now been shown to have done absolutely nothing.
Listen to them again.
One of these days, they'll get it right.
My pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
I'm from Ottawa.
I lost one of my jobs.
Do you want to get on camera or no?
I can do quick.
I don't give a shit.
No, no.
Okay.
So I worked for the city of Ottawa.
I used to teach kids like basketball, senior citizens how to skate, all that kind of stuff.
Outdoor, like lacrosse.
And for some reason, they want no medical status.
I was like, no, that's not your business, it's privacy.
So I just said no, and that's it.
That's it.
That's it.
But I love what's happening here.
I'm a local.
I've lived here my whole life.
I've never seen so much smiles.
I've never seen so much happiness.
It's ridiculous.
Like, look at this.
Little girls running around with signs.
And you see what they're saying on the news and you've been living here.
No, I don't.
I try not to pay attention to it anymore.
But honestly, even vocals like my friends and stuff, they've been listening to it too.
And I was like, go out and talk to someone.
You know, stop being on this, even though, you know what I mean?
Well, this is the good place to be.
Yeah, but it's a little different, so.
I've been chirping people on the internet.
Are you doing all right, all things considered?
Yeah, I'm working right now.
I'm doing demo.
A lot better pay.
It's just not as meaningful.
The other thing too, look it up.
They called it a park ambassador.
It used to be bring up water when it's hot and maybe some frisbees for free.
They turned into a park nerd.
They wanted you to rat on people who were playing basketball.
I have all the paperwork and stuff too.
I don't know if I'm going to go legal route or whatever yet.
If you don't see it, you know what I mean?
You only hear what you see.
So if you're not out and about and talk to real people, you're getting blinded by whatever.
Amazing.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, yep.
Okay, so now we are at 150 Metcalf.
I'm gonna walk to the end of this street.
Get my 360.
By the way, I'm a hummingbird.
How are you doing?
How are you?
Not bad.
When I saw the comments section, they were saying this was the Hungarian flag.
It's not at home.
Oh, hold on, people.
Hold on.
Oh, no, okay.
That was a different flag.
That's the Patriot flag.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's the Patriot flag.
So, actually, explain to the crowd what this is, because people saw this at the protests in Montreal and thought it was a violent flag.
What is this flag?
Yeah, so this is before Canada existed.
French Canadians revolted against the British Empire.
French Canadians revolted against the British Empire.
They had their own country and they were turned down by violence.
And then afterwards, the British created Upper and Lower Canada to counter French Canadian nationalism.
And so this is the first Quebec independence flag this week.
Yeah, so if you see this, it probably means he's either French-Canadian or Quebecer or French-Separist.
Acadien as well?
Yeah, as well.
The Acadians also have this yellow star on the flag.
It's the star of the Virgin Mary.
But I just want to rectify that for the chat.
I think the other one was just three strikes.
Awesome.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Yes, that's the flag that we saw a lot of during the protests in Quebec this summer on the street and a lot of people I think misapprehended those flags for Suggestions of violence that they actually do not suggest.
It was the French Revolutionaries, and I think it's called "Drapeau des Patriots" flag.
If I'm not mistaken, I might very well be mistaken, though.
Let me just see something here.
Let me just see this.
Am I gonna get angry if I see this?
It says, okay, before entering the building, please consider how you would answer the questions below.
Fever, worsening cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose...
If you answered yes to any of these, do not enter the building, fine.
Go home and self-isolate right away.
So I'm not...
Okay, fine.
Self-isolate.
Dude, first of all, hold on one second.
Can this kid be on the internet?
He was on it last Saturday.
Uh, okay.
Dude, you are too young.
You're too young for a Red Bull, so I'm going to grab it.
We actually bought it for you.
Thank you very much.
I was going to say, I saw this kid carrying a Red Bull and I was like, "Thank you very much, sir." Thank you for what you're doing.
I'm going to see the dog yells.
We're going to get down to the dog here.
I think I scared the dog.
Smell this.
I've got lots of good dog smells on me.
You're smelling Winston.
Winston had a little bit of pudge this morning.
I do believe she peed on me as I took her inside.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
This is going to be the new I like turtles meme.
Alright, so thank you very much.
Hold on, let me just say this.
Fringe citizen right there.
By his own free will, too.
Sir, dinosaur voice, fist bump.
Boom.
Have a good one.
Have a good day, guys.
Thank you.
That's funny.
And you know what the funny thing is?
I actually forgot my Red Bull this morning.
So now, it's just going to be a zip blitz back home this afternoon.
I won't even have to stop for gas, I don't think.
Look at this truck here.
Am I going to go down?
I'm going to get hit by a car.
Not do that.
So we're going further.
I don't know the directions here.
So if I want to go up to Parliament now, geographically, I want to say that that's north, but I have no idea if that's true.
Check this out.
This is amazing.
I won't read all of these, but...
All right.
Oh.
Okay, we're gonna make our way back up to the epicenter in a bit.
This is it.
So now we're...
It's in this, whatever.
You guys appreciate it.
It's quiet.
Yes, they've got a 10-day injunction.
But I think that the horns had stopped in any event before the injunction because these truckers, I have nothing to do with them, nothing to do with logistics, no affiliation.
I just have been supporting this message even, you know, for a while now.
But they're fighting with the most polite and respectful quivers in their bag of arrows that you can possibly imagine.
Even in their defiance.
How you doing, sir?
Big, beautiful flag.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Okay, and then it ends.
And that's it.
This is where it ends.
And I don't want to record that woman who might not want to be recorded.
So I'm going to go back up to the protest.
the epicenter in a second.
Alright.
1:24.
An hour and 24 minutes, so it's 12:05 give or take.
I'm good at math.
And we'll see if I can end up bumping into David Anber, and if not, maybe we'll just get him on for a quick interview on the channel at some point in the future.
Thank you.
And Parliament is that way.
Anyone in the chat who knows what direction I am walking right now?
I'm walking up Metcalfe.
Am I walking north, east, south, or west?
Up Metcalfe to Parliament, what direction is that so I can orient myself for the rest of the day?
Okay, let's see what the answer is.
It's difficult.
Oh, I missed that.
I'm walking north.
Someone says north.
The consensus is north.
Thank you so much for keeping us informed.
It is world-changing what you're doing.
Thank you, north.
Okay, good.
East, northeast.
North is good enough, people.
May not be true, north.
There's a pun in there somewhere.
I screwed it up.
Look at this.
Look at this!
Is this a trailer home?
I think I want this.
This is amazing.
That's like a condo in there.
Alright.
Someone said East-West.
Now that's a troll.
A troll in the humorous sense.
I have also put my phone on Do Not Disturb.
This is my Zen meditation away from Twitter and social media.
While being on social media.
#fire.
I don't know when Ottawa has seen this many Canadian flags.
Except on Canada Day itself.
And we are in the middle of February.
Not the middle.
Beginning of February.
Alright.
Thank you.
By the way, so now you can just see it.
This is downtown, so talking about the havoc that this has been wreaking.
There's no traffic, and it might be because no one's coming down, but it is not gridlock havoc that we have been hearing about.
I think the businesses, from what I've asked, have been either closed or quiet in the core.
We'll see.
Maybe we can find another one to ask.
I don't like it.
How you doing?
Thank you very much.
You want to say hi?
Sure.
We're live now.
Where are you from?
I'm from Ottawa.
I live just five blocks away.
Five blocks away?
Okay, so now I'm going to ask you the same question I asked everyone.
First four nights, madness honking through the nights?
Yeah.
Well, I can hear a little bit of it, but for the small inconvenience, I think the price for a freighter becomes much larger.
All right.
And are you coming in now?
You're on the top now.
Just over there for a big condo going up.
But every day at lunch, I get 30-minute lunch break.
I walk to the hill.
I talk to people, see what's going on.
I just encountered an older gentleman who actually was just asked a family of people.
He said he would like to get them arrested.
A friendly family walking.
And I instructed the older gentleman to simply put your mask on.
If you want to live the way you are living now, no one's going to stop him.
He can live in fear.
But the rest of the world needs to open up.
The businesses in downtown?
I imagine you bring lunch to work so you don't...
Yeah, I've been going to Farm Boy though.
Farm Boy's open.
They have really good lunch stuff.
They've been open throughout?
Yeah, they've been open throughout.
The souvenir shop has been open.
It's about, what, 50 meters from the center of the protest.
14 days open.
Hasn't had an issue.
Someone brought him a gold ring.
People bring him coffee.
They're applauding him just for opening his doors and not buying into the media that everything is scary out here.
Fantastic.
It's beautiful to see creators coming together.
Farmer Boys?
The place where you eat?
The Farmer Boys grocery store.
How far now?
It's just about...
It's at Gloucester and Metcalf.
Okay, I'm not going to go there.
So, if anyone wanted to be open, they could be open.
I would dare say they probably had an increase in business, but I don't know.
So, whatever.
But they could be open.
It was not the city formally shutting everything down.
They just notified people maybe to do so.
I think what happened was the same fear they put on the convoy, they kind of told businesses that if they open up, you know, windows will be broken.
There'll be anarchy, it seems.
But it's not the case.
We had one police officer confirm one broken window, and he confirmed it had nothing to do with the convoy.
Sir, nice to meet you.
Keep doing what you're doing, man.
Thank you very much.
So much respect.
Thank you.
I do have a feeling this weekend is going to be a big crowd of peace-loving Canadians.
Celebrating vivaciously in the fight for the return of their country, of our country, from the hands of a government that took it away from us for our own good, for our own protection, for our own safety.
It's always for our own safety.
Because we don't know how to protect ourselves and we don't know how to make our own decisions as to what is best for us, our risk factors, our own bodies.
We don't know.
Justin Trudeau and Theresa Tam, she knows.
The same woman who said people should seriously contemplate wearing face masks.
No, thank you very much.
Thank you.
I just got offered sausage, muffin, coffee.
The same woman who suggested people wear face masks during sexual activity.
The same woman who suggested that you could go to certain protests.
Just don't scream.
You could go to the protests that they approve of.
Just don't scream.
How you doing, sir?
That way, that way, it's not a super-spurter event.
Maxime Bernier gets arrested for having an outdoor gathering, a political gathering of 30 people.
Theresa Tam...
Oh, how you doing?
Theresa Tam okays.
Mass protests.
Just bang things together.
Don't jump.
I'm not making this up, people.
Certain...
Stupidities get burnt into my brain because I lived through them.
And I was like, you have to be...
I don't care what your title is.
To make that recommendation, you've got to be a looney tune.
Consider wearing a face mask during sexual activity.
Okay, we're heading back to the center here.
And by the way, that wasn't even the stupidest of the medical advice coming from the medical experts.
There was one out of British Columbia who suggested creating a barrier between you and the partner.
So you can put the P to the V in the parts together, but just as long as your bodies are...
And then people were making a joke because it effectively sounded like the recommendation was to make a...
Glory.
Glory.
You know what I'm talking about.
This statue...
Which does not deserve, according to the government, a fence around it.
It looks surprisingly intact.
Actually, kind of beautiful.
This is one statue, and then there's a buck over there.
So I think they're part and parcel of the same statue.
But no fence around those.
And they've been so clearly desecrated, the snow around it is white enough to eat.
Although I wouldn't recommend that.
Alright, I'm going to walk this way.
Sir, what...
You don't mind being on camera?
Because you're on it.
Get over here, sir.
This is God's work.
It's just recording in real time.
Jesus is the boss.
This is God at work.
What's going on?
And Trudeau, you are a coward.
A coward.
Where are you guys in from?
Quebec.
Pontiac.
Pontiac.
That's all I'm telling you.
Oh, no.
I mean, just from Quebec, the province.
And how long have you been here for?
Lifetime.
Streetcar tracks down Bank Street.
Oh, dear.
This thing here.
Does that tell you anything?
The protests.
I'm sorry.
Oh, the protests.
Yeah.
I'm here three times now.
I go to some of the suburbs.
I want to talk to the guys.
I go around like you do, talking to the guys who don't get a print.
We just love the whole thing.
And this is Ottawa.
This is real Ottawa you're seeing here.
Born and raised here when the streetcar tracks ran down Bank Street.
My grandfather worked on it.
I think we need freedom.
No masking.
None.
Over.
One more story, Kevin.
Okay.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
Watch it.
All right, I'm on the wall.
All right.
Come on, my people.
Thank you for all the people here.
My pleasure, have a good time.
Anyway, that little story of David.
My best buddy came to me and asked me what he thought about eating the police course.
I said, "Gave, there's always that one in the building." And it was.
A year later.
Downtown Ottawa Shots again.
God bless you, folks.
Thank you.
You're doing an awesome, wonderful course.
Thank you very much.
You're looking up if I already need help.
No, no.
I don't practice anymore.
No law for me.
See you soon.
There you have it.
More of those people who don't know what's good for themselves.
They need to be told who they can socialize with, when they can go to church, what they need in order to get into their church.
We are in Quebec, by the way.
In Quebec, the vaccine...
Supreme Leader Francois Legault has imposed the vaccine passport requirement to go to church.
And when did he impose it, by the way?
In the chat, if you are new to the chat.
When would a...
Psychological abusing tyrant.
When would an abusive partner impose a vaccine passport to get into a church for full psychological devastation?
A week before Christmas.
Science.
Science.
Yeah, Christmas Eve.
I think it was a little bit before Christmas Eve so that people could have the...
It's just psychological, emotional, spiritual abuse is what it is.
Period.
I put out a tweet the other day where I said, I referred to it as torture.
And then someone said, what torture?
You tell a kid that they have to be locked, isolated in a room for up to 10 days because of exposure to someone with COVID?
And you had, if you believe the stories, and unfortunately I do believe them, parents on Twitter saying, I hear my kid crying in the other room, behind the door, sobbing, it's heartbreaking.
Two years ago, that would be child abuse.
But somehow it changes in people's minds and spirits when the government tells them to do it.
The difference between child abuse and what is acceptable is what the government says you can do.
Not what your own God-given brain tells you to do.
Your own God-given soul.
Okay, we're back to...
I think we're going to go to the dance dance revolution again today.
Okay.
And it wasn't rumor, and it wasn't hyperbole, and it wasn't exaggeration, and it wasn't fake news.
Peel Region put out a memo, or whatever they call it, a guidance, telling people, telling parents to isolate their children as young as five, I believe, if they came in contact with someone who tested positive.
And then they had to walk it back and say, we didn't mean it.
Except even what they walked back.
They effectively meant it because they said, okay, well, the kid can have one caregiver.
This is...
No, no, like, actually, no words.
Actually, no words.
When...
I hear it.
We might go past that overpass.
Look at what's going on here, people.
Let's just see what's going on here.
These are the types of things that you will not see on CBC because they're liars.
This appears to be a group of rowdy, extremist, xenophobic, anti-black racist, anti-Semitic, transphobic protesters who appear to be shoveling the walkway.
And not only are they shoveling it, actually, because it's hard packed, they're breaking it up and they're shoveling it.
And then, you know, the other thing is, you know, the other thing is, you know, the other thing is, you know, Look at what's going on here.
Will you look at that?
How you doing?
I don't think we'll be seeing this on CBC News tonight.
I'm a bit of a fan.
Thank you very much.
You want to talk to the camera?
No.
I'll talk to you.
We're live now, so don't say anything you don't want anyone to hear.
Never.
Okay.
Where are you in from?
You want to be on camera?
Yeah, no, I don't need to be on camera.
Okay, I recorded this because I'm from Toronto originally.
I've been out every day supporting.
And the need is imperative.
We're in a very difficult time.
I don't see any media trying to show what you guys are doing here.
It's unbelievable.
Gentlemen.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I've been doing this for half an hour.
I'll be doing this for a living.
You don't want to be on camera?
Dude, first of all, it's solid.
So you're breaking it up and they're shoveling over.
That's the goal, yeah.
Amazing stuff, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Have a good day, guys.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
There you go.
Oh, I have to go for it.
While we take a picture, I'm just going to show the people.
Hi again.
Oh, sir, I know you.
How you doing?
Thank you.
You all right?
Yep.
Shoveling the snow.
Like a bunch of radicals.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
Have a good one, guys.
All right.
Anyone, feel free to clip that part.
Put it to Twitter.
Tag CBC.
Tag Radio Canada, CTV News, Global News.
Tag them all.
State of emergency, by the way.
Ottawa just declared a state of emergency.
Number one pick!
Right here!
Tied!
You're tied!
How are you doing?
Good.
You might be on camera because you're on camera.
Where are you in from?
I'm from Lanark Highlands.
It's about an hour and a half outside of Ottawa.
I used to live in Ottawa.
And how do you find this?
My son.
You don't mind?
You could be on the interwebs?
No.
How are you finding this youngster?
Pretty cool.
How many times have you been out?
This is his first time.
We've been here with his sister.
And my husband and some family members are planning on being here on Saturday.
Saturday is going to be the big...
Anyone who has not yet been here, I think Saturday...
How are you doing, gentlemen?
I think Saturday might be the day you want to make an exception and make your way down here.
I just wanted to thank you.
I watched your live stream last night with Dr...
It was fantastic.
So we did a live stream yesterday with Dr. Francis Christian on Rumble exclusively.
I did the intro on YouTube just to tell everyone...
So we can have an honest discussion.
It felt, it was...
These guys...
No Agenda 2021, year of the bullcrap.
I like it.
Have you heard of their podcast?
No.
You haven't heard of Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak?
I have.
No Agenda podcast?
No, for God's sake, I have heard of No Agenda.
Guys, don't...
But, yes.
I have heard of No Agenda.
I have heard of it.
I just didn't put it together.
In last week's news agenda, they had a clip of you interviewing counter-protesters or something like that.
Oh, that was fun.
But anyways.
Now I'm going to interview this guy.
Well, let's see if I can get this guy right here.
Thank you.
How you doing?
Thank you.
May I interview you?
Sure.
Do you mind doing interviews?
No.
You're going to be viewed by 21,841 people at least.
Really?
Yes.
Get you on this side because the flag...
So, there we go.
Tell everyone who you are.
Okay.
Not by name.
I don't even know what you're doing here.
Okay.
Hi.
No name?
Is this live?
This is live.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Hey, Canada.
How's it going?
Yeah, I'm here in Ottawa today.
And, yeah, I'm here just to show that to Canadians.
The CBC is lying to you.
Mainstream media is lying to you.
Everyone here is so lovely and peaceful.
It's like a family who has been forcibly separated for two years, getting together.
There's hugs everywhere.
We were just talking with a black security guard who works for the federal government, who just was praising us and saying, thanks for being here.
He's an Ottawa resident.
This is for Canada.
This is for freedom.
This is for our Constitution.
Something that we had our own Prime Minister say.
He's not going to...
He's not going to follow.
I have no confidence in our Prime Minister right now.
And so I hope, I pray, that one day the Canadian people will stand up and say, "Enough!" And it isn't going to stop here.
The next people that come in, we have to make sure that they maintain our Constitution and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, because that's the core of who we are as Canadian people.
Okay?
I've got to ask you the obvious question.
The flag behind you is the Gay Pride flag.
And this is not to steal from the message of the truckers.
This is to show that I've been walking around here for four days, not one incident.
I've had gay truckers come up to me and say, hey, thanks for bringing the flag.
So the thing is, it's not to steal from the message.
It's to show that these people are not racist.
They're not sexist.
They're not homophobic.
And the only Nazi flag that has ever been shown on the news was in hidden places.
If those people didn't have...
Background people, people in the background, then they were in hiding.
They worked with the group.
They worked with the association here.
So it's false.
Okay, and you're a part of the community.
I'm from Montreal.
I guess the question is, how do you feel when Trudeau comes out and says that this crowd is transphobic, all phobic of everything?
Yeah, I'm with the Canadian Association for Equality.
We're a father's rights group.
And we've been called sexist, racist, homophobes for the last...
20, 10 years or so.
I was with Fathers for Justice.
Again, for 20 years I've been called the same names.
Listen, enough already.
You want a name call?
Fine.
It's very childish.
Grow up.
You're our employee.
You're paid to represent us.
So please, please, please do your freaking job.
Represent.
I could talk to a friend.
It's hard to talk to the enemies.
So if we're your enemies, we're your people.
Get off your ass.
Do your job and come down and speak to the people.
Okay?
Thank you, sir.
You're very welcome.
Look at this!
Me hugging a guy!
Nice to meet you.
You have a wonderful day.
Thank you very much.
My pleasure.
Thank you so much.
My wife gave me a call to track you down.
All right.
We've been watching you since you started coming in.
Amazing.
You're one of the best doing it.
I mean, there are others.
You're doing a great job, too.
This is...
It is what it is, and it's not what we're being told.
There's no other way to say it.
I look for bad people.
I didn't see any.
I didn't see any hate signs.
I've been looking, and I've been looking for vandalism.
Well, you found that one.
That one.
The red for la liberté on the screen.
That's all.
No, the go-home dummies.
Oh, yeah.
Guess what side that up?
I gotta look at yours in my way.
Excuse me.
Do you want to say hi?
Yeah.
Hi, Danny.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Keep up your career.
Thank you very much.
We'll do.
How are you doing?
Okay, now we're going down.
Sorry?
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
Going down to the dance dance revolution, but there's no dancing.
I think it is now just down to the revolution.
This is, uh...
How you doing?
I'm gonna walk a little further down than I've ever walked.
You wanna say hi to the end to that?
Ah, sure.
You're hesitating.
Can we take a selfie, though?
Yeah, absolutely.
You're the best.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
Thank you very much.
All right, down to the...
Let's go down here.
I'll shut my big mouth for a second.
That appears to be more protesters shoveling the snow onto the street.
I wonder if they're going to get a ticket for doing that.
Okay.
Freedom pour nos enfants, tabar wet.
Okay, so that's funny.
That sign over there.
It says freedom, pour nos enfants, and it said tabarnak, which is the F word in French.
But someone put the wet, tabarouette, is how you swear in French if you don't really want to swear.
Fun fact, by the way, swear words in French all have to do with religious symbolism, religious stuff.
Tabarnak are the tabernacles, koalis is the wafer.
Chris is Christ.
French-Canadian swear words are all to do with the church, and French from France swear words are all to do with sex.
Salope, putain, all that other stuff.
So, very interesting distinction of the swear words between French-Canadians, French-Quebeckers, and French from France.
Okay, let's walk through here and see what we've got.
How's it going?
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
You guys want to say hi to the webs?
All right.
What do you have to hear?
We're live.
We've been live for two hours.
What do you have to say?
We love you.
Well, not...
Okay, thank you.
But to the world, who might be watching and might be thinking what they think they know of this protest.
There's more love here than I've ever experienced in a very, very long time.
And for anybody out there who is tapping into any type of fear, to just remind yourself that the dark forces out there feed off of fear.
It doesn't matter which direction it's coming from.
So just remind yourself to stay in your love, stay in your heart as much as humanly possible, and that's what's going to get us out of this.
We do not fight hate with hate, we fight it with love.
pushing that this is where we need to stay wow powerful in ottawa right now we're two strangers this is what's great super spreaders i tell you what super spreaders of love i think it's honestly just so beautiful to be around this i've never experienced this before there is not the level of hate that the media is trying to portray as this is honestly the most beautiful thing i've seen and been part of and i've been here a few different times Today is less busy than it is on Saturdays and Sundays, but it's just a dance party going on there.
You've got the concerts here.
You've got people spreading love for God and Jesus.
It's just so beautiful and heartwarming and all of us here, we've been talking about it.
You're sensing the vibrations left in everybody.
Very emotional.
We are winning.
We are winning.
They know this.
It's all over the entire world.
I just want to say that your body is yours and it doesn't belong to the government.
And I also just want to say that personally, I was in a very low state before this convoy happened.
I was feeling very depressed.
And this is the greatest thing that's happened to me in two years.
We're here for you.
Welcome to Hope Walmart, my friend.
So amazing.
Thank you very much.
We love you guys.
Thank you.
Have a good day, guys.
We love you, by the way.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Someone just dropped the phone.
Hold on a second.
I've got to change my battery pack.
Sweet, merciful battery.
Is it dead?
Oh, look at that.
Okay.
I've gone through one charger.
Hold on.
How you doing?
Can I do this with one hand?
Oh, that's so cool.
There you go.
Boom.
Hold on.
Getting the battery pack out of my other pockets.
And let's just make sure that we're good here.
Okay, I'm going to rotate sideways just to see one thing.
Yes, we're charging.
Okay, good.
I'm all packed.
I'm all...
All right.
Now, first of all, hug.
Oh, absolutely.
Let me go like this.
Okay, there we go.
Thank you very much.
So, you want to say something?
Yes.
Okay, where are you in from?
Well, we don't need your full name, but where are you in from?
How do you feel?
My name is Crystal.
I'm from Springville, Ontario.
It took us five and a half hours to get here.
We booked our hotel for three nights, and we'll be staying this Saturday.
And I want everything to stop.
Everything.
Thank you very much.
Nice to meet you.
All right.
Have a good day.
See you soon.
Thank you.
All right.
We're going to go to the...
How are you doing?
I'm back.
Thank you very much.
Gentlemen, I'm back.
I'll keep coming back as often as I can.
Thank you.
There's no dancing today.
It's still early.
Have a good one.
I saw bubbles.
I do see bubbles now.
Yeah, bubbles!
Oh, no, thank you.
Every donut is an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill.
Sir, how you doing?
I'm good.
Are you live now?
I am.
I just started.
Live-ception, interception, web-ception.
Oh, man.
We've met before, right?
No, we have not.
So, who are you?
Tell the world.
I'm Chris from The Red Prince, so if you want to follow me, I'm the Morning Shift guy.
Chris from The Red Prince.
Yeah, that's right.
So, it's just Red Prince, but my name is Chris.
Alright, nice to meet you, Chris.
Yeah, absolutely.
I wanted to ask you kind of a personal question, but why...
Go on.
Let me get closer here.
Okay.
You're my inspiration, man.
You're the reason why I'm down here.
The more, the merrier, because...
You can't deny what you have on video.
Everyone will say, just look at the hair.
Sometimes it's hard to see in the crowd.
So, you ran under the PPC party, and I heard that you never want to do it again.
Why?
Because I think I had the terror.
My crowd knows this, but I had the terror feeling the night before that if I actually win, I'm just going to win my seat into a useless machine, a rusted...
Defunct, you know, inoperable machine.
And I would have less impact to do what I want in the machine than outside.
Breitbart said politics is downstream from culture.
So I had the fear.
But we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
So you're thinking more of an impact on the street here?
I would agree, by the way.
And I like it more.
And I also think...
I might be too honest to be a politician.
There I said it.
I don't think I have what might be necessary to succeed in the world of politics.
Really?
But I had to do it because I said it.
I was going to run for the country before I run from the country.
Try to make a difference.
If Quebec is the province that Quebecers want, I may not be leaving.
They might just be pushing me out.
Holy, I saw that magical moment when you gave the camera to someone else and you had to go to the washroom.
That was so funny.
I might have to do it again today.
I might have to do it again too.
It's called the Red Prince.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Absolutely.
I'll be up at 5am taking over from ZOT.
It's amazing.
24-7 live streaming.
Make it as close as possible, at least.
Nice to meet you.
All right, have a good time.
I appreciate it.
Oh, you're from Montreal.
Oh, Austin, you came in?
Yes, I came in.
How long have you been in for?
We just got in around 10.30, 11 o 'clock.
We're going to stay until my lays give out.
All right, and you're giving out donuts.
I'm giving out donuts, yeah.
Take a photo of me.
Hang on.
You're fantastic.
Fantastic litigator.
You speak an hour and 30 minutes.
That's amazing.
Have a great day.
Thank you very much.
You too.
Have a good one.
Giving out donuts and coffee.
There's a lot of coffee, a lot of donuts.
Okay, so they blocked out.
I'm going to walk down.
I have not yet gone past Sussex.
And again, I say this with no judgment to Ottawa.
Ordinarily, this is not necessarily the most comfortable place to walk, especially at night.
I mean, it's shut off now and there's cops everywhere, but this is downtown.
We're going to get past the last element of the convoy.
Let me see.
How are you doing?
How are you doing, Gary?
Still here?
Still plugging away?
Yes, sir.
How's morale?
Morale is right up there.
We can't keep that down.
Got to keep it up there.
We're going to win this.
Fantastic.
I love your work.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Godspeed, man.
You've got to hold the line for our kids.
You haven't moved.
This truck hasn't moved since we last saw each other.
It's 29. Amazing.
I'm not going nowhere.
Amazing.
Thank you, sir.
All right, keep it up.
Thank you.
I was talking to my brother the other day.
Who's your brother?
Earl Meister in Nova Scotia.
Yes, absolutely.
All right.
You don't mind being on camera?
Pardon?
You don't mind being on camera?
Oh, I don't care.
So you're from Nova Scotia as well?
Halifax?
Nappos Valley.
Nappos Valley.
So you're a trucker by trade?
How has the last two years impacted you?
Well, it just shuts you right in.
You can't do what you want to do.
You can't drive and go places.
So for everybody who doesn't know, Nova Scotia, what was the maritime bubble?
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island.
So there was a maritime bubble where within our own, I want to say gosh darn country, the maritimes could not travel to the rest of Canada.
So just appreciate the constitutional violation.
And you're a trucker, and you're in a maritime bubble for...
Truckers were allowed to go.
But nobody else was allowed.
And then when did the policy become a problem?
As soon as they started it.
That's when it became the problem.
Are you currently working now?
No.
I'm resting right now.
Keep it up, man.
I did get something.
Hang on.
A maritime bubble.
They prohibited...
That's right, because there was an exception for essential workers.
I got a checkered flag for whether we win and we'll put it up there.
Let's see this.
Booyah.
This is planning ahead, and that is having a being determined.
Yeah.
Sir, nice to meet you.
Stop by again.
Absolutely.
I hear somebody.
They all got the checkered flags.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Planning ahead.
Fantastic.
Okay, this is a narrow one, guys.
This is as wide as my phone.
And then, oh yeah.
There was a maritime bubble.
That non-essential travel was restricted.
And I remember now, I'm an idiot.
Because when we went to, um, when we went to, on our road trip, they had just lifted the non-essential travel restrictions between provinces within our country.
Oh, there's a West Highland Terrier.
Hold on a second.
There are two dogs that look like my Winston.
Oh, oh.
Thank you.
May I see your dogs?
I won't record you.
I have one at home.
Hey, doggie.
Are you with this obnoxious crowd?
Am I with them?
I'm documenting it.
Why do you find it obnoxious?
How do you feel about the policies that the government's been imposing?
I think the policies are based on science and I'm totally supportive.
100%.
She thinks the policies are based on science and she totally supports them 100%.
And she finds these people obnoxious.
I got nothing.
I'm sorry.
How you doing?
Oh, I remember you.
How you doing?
Not bad, not bad.
Morale is good?
Oh, yes.
I'm discovering YouTube.
Stay out of the dark rabbit holes.
I'm trying to...
Um...
I'm trying to...
The policies are based on science.
What can you say to that?
When Horatio Arruda, who was the former chief medical officer of Quebec, said that there's no scientific basis.
To justify a curfew to combat a virus.
What do you say to that?
They admit it.
And the science?
It's based on science?
And the science varies from one province to the next?
Do you keep using that word?
I do not think it means what you think it means.
It's amazing how two people can look at one image and have such radically different impression.
of what it symbolizes and what it represents.
Now, I may need a Kleenex.
It's starting to rain.
Provincial variants, Viva.
Yes, that's what it is.
It's provincial variants and it's weekly variants.
Because as of two weeks from now, the science is going to be different than the science today.
I would say it's pathological as far as policy goes.
And then it's...
Oh, I think I see Adam Nucci again.
Nucci!
How you doing?
The usual suspects.
How you doing?
Good and yourself.
How you been?
Good.
How have you been last...
How was it yesterday?
I did the night shift streaming last night.
Until what time?
Oh, that's late.
I saw Rebel News saying there was heavy police presence and all that stuff, so I ran out.
I didn't really see anything.
I just watched a press conference with the organizers.
They said they were expecting something big today or tonight.
Charge up your battery.
I won't be here, but...
One question.
Yes, please.
I always ask you a question.
At this point, how do you expect the whole thing to end?
And when?
How and when.
Okay, how and when.
I've already said the how, I think.
That politicians are going to nudge their experts to give them recommendations that allow them to change the policy, say it's based on the science, and not in response to the convoy.
And when?
Monday.
Monday.
I think this is going through the weekend.
I feel like they don't want Saturday to happen.
That is my feeling as well.
But I feel that they do not want Saturday to happen.
They're not going to be able to stop it.
And once Saturday happens, it's going to be too much pressure.
That's my feeling.
You've heard it, people.
I'm probably going to be wrong.
But if I'm right, my goodness, am I clipping this and putting it everywhere.
In case they don't run into you, I get a quick selfie.
Absolutely.
You're going to have to kneel down about a foot and a half.
Awesome.
Amazing.
I'm going to be live streaming again tonight.
Adam Nucci on YouTube.
Adam Nucci?
Adam.
N-U-C-C-I.
Gucci.
But with an N. You got it, my man.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
See you soon.
Thank you.
You too.
This has become like...
She asked me if I'm with...
Are you with that crowd?
I mean, spiritually, yes.
Organizationally, no.
So the answer is totally, totally accurate.
And I'm glad.
I like not being affiliated formally with anything because it allows me to say what I want.
Yeah.
Obnoxious.
She believes it's scientific.
They've recognized in Quebec people, I just want everyone to appreciate this, that Quebec, they've been doing it based on polling.
They've been making political decisions based on polling.
How's it going?
Viva!
How you doing?
Great, great.
How are you doing?
My pleasure, my pleasure.
I'm in from Montreal.
You want to say hi to the world?
You sure you don't mind?
I don't mind at all.
You came in from Montreal?
I came in from Montreal.
I've been watching your show for over three years.
I really appreciate what you're doing here.
And thank you for being feet on the ground, if you will.
You inspired me to come to Ottawa and be another foot on the ground.
First day here?
I was here yesterday and I'll be here till Sunday.
Okay, because Saturday, everyone, Saturday apparently is supposed to be the big day.
Well, if it is, if it is, it is, I don't care.
I just want to be here to support the movement or what they're trying to do here.
And I just wanted to, you know, link up with you and tell you that I appreciate a lot what you're doing and thank you very much for being a voice.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Good to meet you.
Good to meet you too.
All right, I'm going to go see them over there.
All right, have a good one.
The smells are so delicious.
You can't imagine how beautiful the smells are.
Do you mind being on the interwebs?
No.
Where are you in from?
I'm in from Brantford, Ontario.
Brantford, alright.
How long have you been here for?
It came in yesterday.
Alright, and how long are you staying?
Are you staying the weekend?
Well, I'm only coming here for a few days, but they've got accommodation for me.
I'm learning a lot about what's going on here, and it's just fascinating.
I met a nice little...
You want to be on camera?
I do mine.
I'm on the shy side of it.
All my family is against me.
I gave her a little bit of an education this morning.
She was fascinating.
She's a very exciting person.
Amazing.
Nice to meet you.
If they have accommodations, book it and make sure they can't cancel it.
We booked the night last Friday.
Cancels.
I think we got it for the weekend.
Amazing.
Stay for the weekend.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
Alright, have a good one.
Oh, so I saw that.
Yeah, I didn't hear the whole thing.
I was driving.
What did they say?
And say that we're not here to overthrow the government?
Okay.
Liars.
Liars on CJAD, I tell you.
Okay, thank you.
Cookies and coffee.
That's what everyone brings to a revolution.
I'm actually bringing the cookies to the book that's got in there.
Okay, that's very nice.
Thank you very much.
You're the best.
Thank you.
And I'm not done calling CJAD liars yet, but I'll get back to that in a second.
It's amazing.
There's a lot of people, but it's a rainy Thursday.
It's a rainy Thursday, but you know what's the best part?
Wait, wait, wait.
I didn't what?
I didn't say that.
They were honking at squirrels.
There's a squirrel crossing the street.
But, no, it's fantastic.
It's fantastic.
You're going to get better, man.
The weekend should be big.
Yeah, you'll be back.
I can't see what would impede me from coming back, but we'll see.
Alright, have a good one.
Yeah, you too.
Take care.
Thank you, you too.
CJAD, I haven't forgotten.
Elias Makos this morning on the CJAD saying that the objective, the stated objective is to overthrow the government.
Oh, and Natasha Hall and Aaron Rand on CJAD the other day said it, and I tweeted out, although one of them has blocked me.
Brian Stetler has blocked me on Twitter, by the way.
Okay, setting that aside, I tweeted it out.
Hey guys, where is that coming from?
That their stated objective is to, quote, overthrow the government.
Where's it from?
Because I don't see it in the MOU, which is the Memorandum of Understanding that they issued.
And the only person that I ever saw who said it is the ever dishonest, deceitful, divisive Jagmeet Singh.
So it might just be one of those cases of fake news doing the wrap-up smear a la Nancy Pelosi.
Someone says something that's a lie.
Says that they said it.
The news repeats the lie from the politician.
Another outlet repeats it from that outlet.
And then you've got your circle vortex of fake news.
And you've got to see this.
At the risk of asking the obvious, can I record your hair?
Check this out.
That is dedication.
My goodness.
That's actually technically, physiologically amazing.
Well done.
Have a good one.
I hear Viva.
I hear it.
I'm frozen.
Alright, thank you very much.
I saw you the other day.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, awesome.
You want to say hi again?
Yeah, sure, why not?
Say hi again.
Has anything changed?
Has the vibe changed?
Have you noticed more police presence?
Not at all.
You know, yeah, I see the cops walking around and stuff, but I'm talking to them and they all seem like they're pretty happy with the overtime.
By the way, I believe it's one and a half pay for overtime?
Well, you know what?
We didn't get into all that.
But I think the troops are good to go.
They seem to be very reasonable.
It's really just the leadership that's the problem.
Like I said the last time, it's those greasy boomers.
They're just soaking up all the wealth from all the other generations and sending their pension funds out to scoop up all the residential property and turn the millennials into a permanent renting class and reaching into the pockets of the unborn to resign all future generations to be born into serfdom in Canada.
And that is unacceptable.
I don't know how you do that so fast, but can I touch, can I feel these?
Totally.
They're actually beautiful.
Thank you.
And do they, they don't, that's, it's like, you see the detail in the hair.
Hold on, let me see if I can do this.
Yeah, the detail is amazing.
Yeah, they're quartz matches.
Beautiful.
Thank you, sir.
All right, hashtag the boomers must be stopped.
Is that a real hashtag?
Yeah, it is.
In a political sense, people, and not in a violent sense.
Not at all.
All right, take care.
All right, have a good one.
I'm going to go ask the people at the hotel.
I'm not recording you, I'm recording me.
Have you guys noticed anything bad?
Any incidents?
Personally, no.
I asked someone else.
No one pooped on the couch in the hotel, right?
No.
And if someone had pooped on the couch, you would have heard of it.
Yes.
Confirm, people.
Thank you.
I just had to do it a second time, get three different guys.
Nobody pooped on the couch in the...
Fairmount Laurier, as had been reported somewhere.
Oh, well, the weather might...
Oh, actually, it kind of looks good in the wind.
Alright.
No one pooped on the couch.
No one pooped on the couch.
That is the bridge to Gatineau.
That is the...
Outer part of the Rideau Canal and then the Rideau skating portion of the canal.
One of these days, I'll do a live skating.
How you doing, sir?
You mind being on the interwebs?
Oh, I don't mind at all.
Okay, let's tell the world where you're from.
Cassidy the Carpenter.
I've actually donated a couple times.
To you.
I was actually watching you yesterday, and I was like, you know what?
I got my bags packed.
I took my tools out of my truck, and I'm like, I'm going to drive down.
Got an Airbnb.
By the way, if you guys want to come down, Airbnb support the local economy.
It helps a little bit.
You guys are the next generation of journalists.
It's so real.
I'm originally from Windsor.
If anyone's ever been to Windsor or knows of Windsor, it's a very grey place.
It's a whole lot of production, manufacturing, not a lot of natural beauty to be had.
Even our downtown core, it's three bars.
But, and I was always, I was never really proud of the fact that I was from Windsor, right?
But now you see Windsor on the news and it's like, oh my god.
Thank you guys.
Like, you guys are doing God's work.
Windsor is where the Ambassador, that's where the Ambassador Bridge is being blocked by the convoy now.
A billion dollars in trade a day.
Yeah, and you know what?
That's one thing I've always wondered is that because Windsor is such a critical part of our Canadian infrastructure that like...
Windsorites need to be taken more seriously and, you know, it's finally happening.
And, like, I don't know, I see all the kids.
No one's ever going to be able to come to Ottawa, come to Windsor, like, without remembering what's happening here.
The level of civic responsibility is, I don't know, it's incomprehensible, to say the least.
And, like, you guys are the next generation of journalists, too.
Like, everyone's being held responsible.
Like, you have all these children here.
They're not going to forget this.
Like, you know, you're not going to be able to come to Ottawa without remembering what happened here.
Am I wrong?
Like, there's been a severe, I feel like, disservice in not properly funding our education system, right?
Especially here in Ontario.
As, you know, last time our debt ratio was this high, our education, healthcare, and policing was cut, and it's going to happen again.
So, I don't see it getting any better, but that's going to change.
Of course, of course.
Nice to meet you.
Take care, guys.
You guys are doing great work.
Does your kid want to say hi?
Oh, she's gone.
What's your channel?
Viva Frye.
V-I-V-A-F-R-E-R.
Oh, yeah.
You guys are getting famous.
I've seen all your stuff.
I've seen all the stuff.
What work you're doing.
What courage.
What brilliance.
What insight.
Why?
I love the Spanish and German.
Viva Frye.
I just randomly picked it and stuck with it.
Someone said I should go interview the yellow truck behind me.
I saw the chat.
Very nice Eastern European.
Viva!
Probably my wife is watching.
Hey, we made it.
Where are you in from?
Alfred.
Nice to meet you.
See you soon.
I'm watching you since the whole thing started.
You're my favorite to watch.
Nice to meet you.
That's my brother and my neighbor.
We are farmers.
In which part?
Alfred area.
I'm detecting a slight European accent.
How long have you been in Canada for?
41 years.
What kind of farm?
We had a dairy farm, but regarding health issues, we had to quit.
Dairy farm, is the farm operational?
Yeah, we didn't rip it apart.
We kept it functional.
Beautiful.
So how long have you been here for?
I know it just came in, you know.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Have a good one.
Have a good one.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
I won't record you just in case.
You don't mind me on the web?
Okay, where are you from?
We're from Toronto.
We just rolled in today.
How long are you staying?
Toronto, you got to stay for the weekend?
Just for the day.
You drove in from Toronto.
Are you going to drive back?
Yeah.
That's a four-hour drive round trip to be part of this.
Eight hours.
Oh, for sure.
That's it.
Totally.
My math is no good.
Math, geography, flags, now you know.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
We've been following you on Twitter.
We've been following you the whole time.
Thank you very much.
Great reporting.
Honest reporting here.
Honest reporting.
It doesn't take much to be honest.
All you have to do is let the camera roll and let the people see.
Don't watch CP24 because what you see there is not what you'll see here.
It's totally different.
It's peaceful.
It's friendly.
Everyone's good.
Amazing.
Awesome.
Enjoy.
See you guys soon.
We will get to the yellow truck.
You guys allowed to be on the webs?
We allowed to be on the interwebs.
Okay, where are you guys in from?
We are residents of Ottawa.
Although we are in a boonies pretty far from the downtown.
Okay.
And you know, Viva, you have to explain something to me.
I'm a relatively new Canadian.
You're from, I'm going to guess, I'm going to say Russia.
Close.
Then it has to be Ukraine.
Slovenia.
A little closer.
Slovakia.
So we grew up in, you know, communist Czechoslovakia and there was a constitution and it guaranteed all the rights.
The only thing is there were consequences if you exercise the rights.
And, you know, one of the favorite consequences was you lost your job.
Seems familiar somehow.
What is right now happening?
And right now some people are here on the internet.
They are saying that...
We have all the rights, we have all the freedoms, but there are going to be consequences if you choose a certain right of freedom.
I don't know, is that freedom really?
Look, I'm glad.
I've been having this ongoing debate with people who say, when I say that this looks like tyranny, I don't know because I was born in the West and I've never experienced it.
And then I say, but I talk to people.
I'm not speaking from my own perspective here.
I've talked to now Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Egypt, Iraq.
All seeing the same things.
We're seeing what we left coming in here.
How long have you been in Canada for?
It's been 23 years.
You've been 23 years in Canada?
Yes.
Okay.
You don't look old enough to have been here for 23 years.
Oh, well, you know, I just look that good.
Now the internet knows, by the way.
And your impression is?
My impression up to this point was that people in Canada don't want freedom.
That, you know, there is even this idea that freedom of speech is an American concept that has no room in Canada.
You can hear it sometimes.
People saying seriously that it's an American concept.
And I was like, maybe that's right.
Maybe I was wrong.
Now I'm figuring when I was not wrong because I see all of other Canadians who actually want freedom and I want freedom too.
And you know what?
I have a message for everybody also.
Call your MPP.
I call my Ontario MPP.
And this is not...
You know, this is great and everything.
Even if they remove the mandates, there has to be the people who were fired.
They have to be hired back.
They have to be compensated.
This was a violation of their rights on a scale.
I don't think Canada saw recently and there has to be consequences to this.
And, you know, and yes, it's going to cost money and government will pay money.
It's going to come from taxes.
But I'm willing to pay because some of these people have to be compensated for what they went through.
And I'm personally not affected.
I still have jobs.
Yeah.
But all the others, they have to be compensated.
Viva!
I like it.
Thank you very much.
We found you.
We were here two weeks.
Amazing.
Well, I'll be back Saturday, hopefully.
We'll be back too.
Amazing.
Awesome.
Have a good one.
Are you allowed to be on the web?
Yes, I am.
Oh, look at the baby, guys.
Look at this baby's face.
Hi, you two.
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
It's like butter.
The skin of a baby is like butter.
Oh, my goodness.
How are you doing?
You are a very...
Oh, my goodness.
How old is she?
Five months.
Five months?
Yeah.
My ovaries are starting to hurt again.
That's not the only thing that hurts for me.
How are you doing?
Good.
How are you doing?
Where are you guys in from?
We're Ottawa.
Clearly not terrified to be here.
Have you ever felt safer walking this area than now?
Honestly, no.
I used to come down here years ago to go to Steve's Music and stuff, and you always constantly feel like you're checking over your shoulder, depending on the day.
And right now, it's amazing.
Absolutely incredible.
Congratulations on the beautiful, beautiful family.
Can I ask you?
Marian, I have some bad thoughts in my head, Marian.
You're not too old yet!
Don't do it, it's a trap!
Do you mind being in my photo album?
No, absolutely, go for it.
Is that okay?
You're on video.
Oh, whoops.
Hang on.
There you go.
Amazing.
Thanks, buddy.
Thank you very much.
It has been a wonderful week to watch.
Anyone who's new to the channel, it's been what a week to be introduced.
Oh, this is beautiful.
Please make 1984 a fiction game.
It was never fiction, people.
It was never fiction.
Awesome.
Have a good one.
See you later.
How you doing?
Hey, how you doing?
Do you mind being on the webs?
Not at all.
I've been looking forward to meeting you.
Where are you in from?
I'm from Ottawa.
Ottawa as well?
Yeah.
And how have you found the mood in Ottawa?
It's incredible.
Yeah.
It's, uh, honestly, okay, so first of all, I've never seen a city this clean.
Or this part of the city, anyway.
Um, and there's, like, a real sense of, like, brotherhood.
There's a real energy of people binding together and uniting.
It's refreshing.
It's amazing.
It's kind of strange when you see people that aren't part of the protest walking around and they won't look at you in the eyes.
I randomly stopped a person because they had two West Highland Terriers and they unsolicited asked me if I was part of that group.
They didn't have nice things to say, but there's a mentality.
There's a thought process in the people who don't approve of this.
Hold on a second, look at these bad boys.
How are you doing?
Good, good, good.
Good looking dogs.
I've got to do something after for you.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
And so, how many times have you been down thus far?
I've been here every day except yesterday.
Okay, and you're going to be back on the weekend?
Yeah, I'm going to be here Saturday for sure.
Amazing.
Nice meeting you.
The same, the same.
Nice to meet you.
Have a good day.
Sir, what have you done for me?
I'm also a West Islander.
Alright.
And my wife and I have been watching you.
You don't mind being down?
No, absolutely not, actually.
Not at all.
We wrote to our M&A yesterday.
Oh, Monsieur Lozon?
My wife and I, Monsieur Lozon, was representing ourselves.
He was representing us at the chamber.
You want to read it?
Yeah, sure.
Okay, say it loud, say it proud.
The internet is watching.
Monsieur Lozon, if you're listening.
Monsieur Lozon, we would like to join our voices to the small fringe minority with unacceptable views to denounce the Trudeau administration and his dictatorship, government policies, mandates, and the way he conducted himself during this pandemic crisis.
We do not believe that he is representing us, and we do not believe he deserves to be called our Prime Minister.
So, due to his divisive rhetoric policies, we believe there should be a vote of non-confidence in the House of Commons to have him removed as soon as possible.
Your constituents, Benoit Lavache and Nancy Yevchek.
Hear, hear.
I agree with the vote of no confidence.
I just think that, you know, that might not achieve as much of the necessary results.
It needs to clean house and have politicians in there who are going to actually say the Constitution is not just a recommendation.
It's not just a gift, a privilege from the government.
It's an actual Constitution.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, nice to meet you.
Have a good day.
Thank you, you too.
Oh yeah, go for it.
Thank you very much.
PPC hats, very nice.
Can I get a picture with you?
Sure.
You want to say hi to the internet?
Sure.
Where are you in from?
What do you have to say to the world?
I'm in from Kempville.
And what I have to say to the world is that it's time for this to be over.
Because as a 16-year-old in high school, I'm not vaccinated.
I've been able to do so many things that a young kid should be able to do growing up.
So let's let the world appreciate this.
You're 16. Yes.
I'm not asking you.
I would never have asked in my life, but you're not vaccinated?
I'm not.
And now they have this vaccine passport policy in Ontario?
Yes.
And so that's to say you can't play organized sports?
What are your restrictions based on that?
Can you go to movie theaters?
I can't go to eat with my friends.
I don't believe I can go to movie theaters.
Luckily, I was able to play sports this year.
Luckily, by the way, this is it.
We're free because you can still play sports.
Luckily.
I'm going to wipe off the camera in a second.
Can't go to movie theaters, can't go to restaurants.
If it's anything like the vaccine passport in Quebec, it is...
you're denying children, and I don't mean to call a 16-year-old a child, you're denying young people, adolescents, their adolescenthood.
Sorry, keep going.
Yeah, you got it right on the head.
That's pretty much it.
We want our freedom back.
Yeah, we want our freedom back.
It's great that the truckers were able to do this, and I hope they keep going for as long as it takes.
You guys in on the weekend?
Yeah.
You're all together?
Yeah.
Awesome.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Oh yeah, sorry, we forgot about the...
You want all three?
Let me get you.
Get in there, will you?
Is he a guy?
Yes.
I'm 40. You're 40?
Okay, hold on.
Not to compare.
He's 40 and I'm 42. You have less wrinkles than I do.
You don't have the grimace crease right there.
Yeah, I live in the country.
I don't live in the city.
Yeah, you look like a happy man.
Doing good.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Well done.
See you.
I got the angry crease in my forehead.
So when your mother said, if you keep making that face, you're going to stay that way, there's some truth in it.
Look at this.
I can't get rid of my furrow crease.
I don't care.
It's a scar.
It's a scar of reality.
Now, I was told to hit up the yellow trucker behind me.
How you doing?
Mr. Trucker, I'm live on the internet and they said I have to go interview the trucker in the yellow truck behind me.
Can I step up?
Okay, so I'm going to grab onto your floor.
Okay, so let's see.
I'll get in here so it'll be nice and quiet.
Yeah, no problem.
Okay, so I was told to come to you.
I don't know who you are.
Who are you?
Now, by the way, you don't mind talking to maybe 30,000 people?
Oh, no, no.
Okay.
My name is Christian.
My last name is Munchin.
And what else?
Where are you from?
I'm from Romania.
But I live in Windsor, Ontario.
And you're obviously part of the convoy.
You've been here from day one?
Yes.
Saturday I'm going to have two weeks.
Okay.
And why are you here?
I'm here for freedom.
To leave the mandates.
Now Justin Trudeau has to go too.
Because he just...
He's not doing right for the people.
For people of Canada.
Were you born and raised in Romania?
Yeah, I was born and raised in Romania.
I left Romania when I was 21 years old.
I'll ask the obvious question.
Why did you leave?
Well, in 1999, I was working in the communist clubs and I decided to live for a better life.
And in 1998, I went to Ireland, near England.
I lived there for seven years.
In Ireland?
Yeah.
And what did you do in Ireland for?
Well, I started as a kitchen porter, dishwasher.
I didn't speak English at the time.
I started very bottom.
And then in 2004, I came to Canada.
So you lived in Ireland, worked in Ireland, then you made your way to Canada.
Which city did you make your way into?
Windsor, Ontario.
How did you pick Windsor?
Because it was closer to the US side and more...
I thought it was going to be better to be closer to the US.
I never thought to run to the US.
I want to be in Canada.
And then I decided to come to Canada.
Alright, so you get to Canada.
What do you start doing for work when you get to Canada?
When I came to Canada, I was cleaning the good life.
I was cleaning the good life and then I worked for one time and got drunk.
And then I started trucking.
Because I love trucking.
My dad is a trucker.
Back in Romania?
Back in Romania.
Is your dad still alive?
Yeah, he's still alive, but he's returning.
In Romania?
Yeah.
So when was the last time you saw your dad?
Actually, it was this year in Romania.
Okay.
And now you start trucking here.
First of all, for people who don't know, because I don't know if anybody understands the business, do you own the truck?
Do you rent the truck?
I own this truck, I own the company, and I own the trailer.
I have one truck, one trailer, and the company.
Alright, just so I can, if I ask a very invasive question.
Yeah, no problem.
So people appreciate what's involved.
How much does a truck like this cost?
And what's the maintenance on it?
What is the cost of maintaining it?
Well, it depends on the truck.
My truck is very old.
It's 99. But the value it's holding because it's like old cars.
The older it gets, the better it is.
My truck is 99 and it's not around...
Let's say if I want to sell it in the US, it's about 40,000 USD.
40. 4-0.
In Canada, You know, maybe I can get 35,000 Canadians, I say.
Okay.
But it's all, you know, because the value is keeping up, you know.
And the life of a trucker, how many hours a day do you drive?
Where are you driving?
Since this pandemic started, I drive to Florida because it's a beautiful state.
And no mask, you know.
I went there.
I went to the nightclub.
They say, you know, being with Canadian mind, mask on, show up to the door.
The boss will say, "I can't let you in." I say, "Why?
Because you have the mask on." Oh, I say, "No problem.
We're gonna rip it off." You know?
And for the last two years, I do just Florida.
Florida Windsor?
Yeah.
How long does that take?
Florida, Toronto, Florida, Montreal, Florida...
So two and a half days each way?
Like 12-hour days?
Yeah.
And you sleep...
For those who don't know, you sleep in the back of the truck?
Yes, I do.
I'm such an idiot.
I always thought...
I never knew that.
That's how big of an idiot I am.
Yeah, I can show to them.
You know what?
Let me just...
There's a lot of people watching.
No, no, that's fine.
Okay.
That's my truck.
It's full of people donating.
That is my bed.
My TV.
I have a TV in the truck.
I have a fridge behind me.
And that's pretty much my house.
It's...
I'm going to just put this back in my pocket.
Okay.
And so it's a relative...
I mean, it's a solitary...
For me, it's very hard.
I'm a single father.
I have a 12-year-old son.
He's home.
I brought my mom from Romania to take care of him when I'm here.
It's difficult for me.
You're a single father with a 12-year-old son.
And when you're trucking, you're away for two days there?
Two days and a half, yeah.
Then I come back home.
I stay maybe 24 hours with him.
Make sure everything is settled.
I go to the store, you know, my mom, she's not driving.
I use a lot of, you know, if my son wants to travel somewhere, go jumping, you know.
My son is not vaccinated.
And for the last two years, you've been doing this.
Before the Vax mandate, you're trucking, you're driving, you're bringing this.
What do you haul?
Food.
Food?
Everything.
Produce, meat, everything to do with the food.
There is everything.
So you're not just an essential worker, you're bringing essential goods and you're doing what people need to survive in big cities.
Treated as a hero.
I remember what Trudeau said about you guys a year ago.
Yeah.
And then when does it change?
Well, on 15th of January, I think, he started putting these mandates.
It's very hard, you know, it's very hard on everybody.
Everybody here, some guys are vaccinated, some guys are not vaccinated.
Some guys, they have a family, which they are supporting, they are here to support them.
I mean, we just want our lives back.
That's what we want.
We don't want fighting.
We don't want violence.
I want to come back to work.
I want to come back home to see my son.
You haven't seen your son in a week and a half now?
Two weeks.
Since I've seen my son.
I FaceTime with him.
What does he have to say about you?
He's got a lot of...
To be honest, he don't know what's going on much.
He thinks I'm working because I don't want to be too...
I don't want him to worry.
You know, he's social media.
He has a, you know, Facebook key.
It's kind of, you know, I don't want him to be, to get scared.
You know, I want to keep him kind of away from me.
He thinks I'm working and stuff like that.
You know, when I get home, hopefully safe and sound from here, then I'm going to tell him where I was and what they did.
You know, I'm going to tell him no mask anymore.
You know, you can enjoy your child.
Enjoy your child like children should.
And I mean, the obvious question, how long, how long are you here for?
When do you go?
When I get my freedom, that's why.
I don't care what I'm going to do.
I'm not here to give trouble to the police.
They can arrest me anytime if they want to.
I have the law that have the rights to demonstrate.
As long as I'm peaceful, and I think I'm peaceful, I just want my voice to get clear by them that it's about my son, it's about other children in Canada, it's about us.
They cannot destroy them mentally.
Do you have everything you need?
Can people support you?
They support us.
Unbelievable.
Canadian people is beautiful.
I remember when I came in 2004, I was unbelievable.
I said, man, this country is so united, so beautiful country.
And he destroyed it.
Unfortunately, he destroyed it.
He just put it out of the drain.
Everything.
All that freedom, all that beautiful people.
It's just, you know, it's hard.
I don't know, man.
I just want to see my kid that is happy.
He's not happy, man.
You know, I don't want our kids to get psychology mentally healed, because that's what they're doing, our kids.
And we are the parents, which we have to deal with that, because the government will say, oh, you know, sorry.
We are the parents.
We have to deal with our children to make sure they are, you know, because...
I'm sure it's hard there, but, you know, you have to...
It's sad to see somebody trying to get destroyed by somebody who is one person and you don't want to back up.
And then, I mean, what do you say to the people in Ottawa who are saying this is loud, it's annoying, it's causing us traffic?
I mean...
I mean, you know, people, from my opinion, as long as I'm here for the last weeks, I didn't see any violence.
And I heard that the drivers, they go to the elderly, they pull off the mask, we go to the shelters, we stole the food.
Actually, we give to them food.
We have so much food that, you know, no crimes around.
We have a little incident like four days ago.
At 3 a.m. in the morning, they rip the Canadian flag off from my truck and his truck.
These kind of people you're going to find everywhere.
It's normal.
But that's their mentality.
They should respect the Canadian flag.
- What's your name?
- Christian.
- Christian, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Thank you very much.
- No, just...
- Your kid might be watching.
- No, it's okay.
- All right, Christian.
- Thank you very much, guys, and I wish you all the best, and we are here fighting for freedom.
Awesome.
Christian, thank you.
Stay safe.
Beautiful, thanks.
May I say hi?
Absolutely.
Sir, you don't mind being on the camera?
Absolutely not.
First of all, a nice firm handshake.
Thank you very much.
Your hands are so warm.
Thank you.
Where are you in from?
I am in from Keswick, Ontario.
How far away is that?
It's about four, four and a half hours.
Is this related to...
Let me see.
I'm willing to die for my rights.
Are you willing to take my rights away from me?
We're going to see how people on the other side will interpret that.
Look, people are saying they're not leaving.
Are you here with the convoy?
I am not here with the convoy.
I got in today.
I've been watching your program.
May I mention other...
Autowalks.
Autowalks.
ZOT?
ZOT, the 69. Pardon my language, but the 69 guy.
The guy who looks like Michael Bolton without the hair.
Travel Fund 69. That's it, yes.
And then you got Adam Nucci.
Yes, yes, yes.
And I think, I believe I met him actually earlier.
Yes, yes.
Very tall guy.
May I make a comment online?
Go for it.
It may be a little controversial, but please hear me out.
All right.
They first came for the Jews.
I didn't care.
I wasn't Jewish.
Then they came for the blacks.
I didn't care.
I wasn't black.
Then they came for the gays.
I didn't care.
I'm not gay.
Now they're coming for me, and I hope to God there's somebody left to care.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me say that.
People can disagree with it.
I've come around.
I said the analogies...
Become less offensive when they start actually telling people they can't go to grocery stores if they're not vaccinated.
That's a level of discrimination, of segregation, where I think the analogies, the hyperbolic comparisons become a little less hyperbolic.
Sir?
Can I give a shout-out?
Absolutely, go for it.
My name is Serbian Mike.
I'm a moderator on Jean-Claude at Beyond Mystic 3. Alright.
YouTube channel, once again, brother.
It has been an absolute pleasure and an honor meeting you.
Thank you very much.
All right.
Have a good one.
Thank you.
God bless, man.
See you soon.
Now, do you want to be on the interwebs?
I'm going to point this way just because I don't want to make you uncomfortable.
How are you doing?
Pleasure.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything that you do.
It's amazing, really.
It's just talking, listening to people and not editing it and not spinning it.
It's not hard to do.
It takes four hours straight, but it's not that hard to do.
You from Ottawa?
Yeah.
I can tell sometimes.
Some people in Ottawa, you may not want to be on the interwebs being seen out and about in certain places.
Some people have very strong opinions against the protest.
If they find out that you're here, they tell everybody.
It gets around real fast.
It's a small town.
Small government town.
It's the biggest small town I've ever been in.
- Amazing.
Nice to meet you.
- Can I ask you for a quick favor?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- So I know that you come down here every now and then and I figured just in case I bumped into you, and I was on my way home actually, so I'm very happy that I bumped into you.
A friend of mine has her birthday coming.
She introduced me to you, actually, to your videos.
I was wondering if you could sign a birthday.
- Absolutely, absolutely.
Now this is pointing the other way, so I'll just keep it like that, but now my hands are a little...
What's her name?
Be right back, people.
Enjoy the background there for a second.
Actually, you know what?
I'll give you this.
I'm going to go this way.
They'll get another.
At least they'll get the crowd.
Okay.
And I'll continue pointing in the other direction.
You get a lot of viewers, right?
It's incredible.
Well, people want the truth, right?
They just want to see it.
It's like it's in a wave.
Okay.
Here, grab that.
Here, you hold this.
Continue pushing it and pointing in that direction.
Got it.
How old is she?
How's it going?
Oh, that's it.
Oh my, that's good.
Oh, it's all done.
She'll love this.
Politicians, the media, they'll tell us we're alone, right?
They'll divide us.
They'll keep us from going out, from meeting up.
They'll try to make it seem like we're one in a million.
But you come down here, right?
You see the truth.
There's many of us.
There's way more than they say they are.
And thanks to you, we all know that.
It's great.
Like, it takes away that feeling of isolation we've all had for so long.
That's what I've been hearing.
Hold on, I'm going to grab this.
Oh!
Oh, my bad!
Okay, that's a little wet, but...
Oh, don't worry about it.
Okay, grab this, grab this, put the cap on that.
Thank you very much, sir.
My pleasure.
Tell her, have a great day.
All right.
Thank you.
Pleasure, pleasure.
Okay, back we go.
Do I dare try it?
No, we're good.
There's no, uh, no drops of water.
This is always like, it's like a ticking time.
Can I make it to four hours without having to go to the bathroom?
They're still shoveling the snow.
We're getting some progress here.
They're almost actually almost finished it.
How you doing?
Yeah, no, no, I, I, I got them earlier when they were at the, they were at the halfway mark.
Do you mind being on the internet?
Oh, here, let me, let me come around.
Okay, so we're back to...
That's John Cartier, I think.
So they've almost been shoveling this entire thing up.
Now, are you sure you don't mind being on the web?
Okay, where are you guys...
We are live, and there's...
How many people do we have watching on Rumble, so I can make the total number here?
We've got 21,600 on YouTube, and there might be about 10,000 on another platform.
So, what brought you both here?
I live here.
Alright.
So the first, when I heard about it, I said no way.
Because someone living, so I'm living here, and then I'm going to let someone who drove three hours to come here to stand for me, because they are standing for me also.
And I'm not here?
No, there was no way.
So that's why I came almost every day with my friend.
Me?
I have something to say too.
For the last few years since Trudeau was there, I saw communism coming in and I saw him destroying our country.
All he did was with Alberta and there were like 50,000 people that lost their jobs and stuff like that.
I was so sad.
I wanted to get out of this country.
It was a shame.
I had no crime in my country.
And not long ago...
A few years ago, I was a retired registered nurse.
I answered the call to come back to work.
I worked for two years during the pandemic.
During the pandemic.
And now I've been let go for a non-paid leave because I'm not taking the job.
And now I am a zero.
And since the truckers coming here gave me There's so much hope.
There's light at the end of the tunnel.
There's hope, joy.
It's just unbelievable.
And first time again, I don't remember, but I'm proud to be a Canadian.
I will stand on guard for you, Canada.
Who doesn't mind talking to me?
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
You come and see for yourself.
Because whatever they are saying on the media, it's totally false.
They're only love.
It's a family-friendly event.
People are loving each other, dancing together, laughing together.
I've never met so many people that I don't know during all my life.
And it's like we've been knowing each other for, I don't know.
It's like Christmas.
It's like New Year.
It's better than Canada Day.
It's the new Canada Day.
So thank you everybody that are standing for Canada, praying for Canada.
We are leading this movement and the world is going to thank God and thank Canada.
And thank you for receiving me as an immigrant.
So I'm standing for all the immigrants.
Because I came to this country when I was 13. And I embrace everything, and I love the country.
And visit my website, jointhetable.ca.
You will see how I love this country, okay?
So, thank you.
Thank you for doing this.
Thank you very much.
Absolutely.
Jointhetable.ca.
Yes, sir.
All right.
How's it going?
You don't mind being on the internet?
No, no, no.
You're so easy to find with the yellow truck.
Well, that was it.
That was the pinpointing moment.
Where are you in from?
I live here in Ottawa.
You're not afraid to be seen here?
No.
But I just want to say thank you.
And thank you for keeping it real.
And I loved how you likened us to having Stockholm syndrome.
I think that's a very real thing.
And I'm not trying to minimize the pandemic.
I've had two vaccines.
And I think enough's enough.
I think we need to move forward.
We've met the percentages that they wanted.
We've surpassed them by 20%.
And it just, you know, even now they're saying they're going to start to ease up.
We're hoping we can ease up.
They always throw in that extra limited care monitoring.
Well, we're not sure.
We'll just have to keep an eye on keeping us ready for another lockdown just in case.
I think everyone's ready to just face this.
Let's get our lives back.
I agree.
Can I get it?
Absolutely, absolutely.
And see here?
We're still good.
How is this?
It's supposed to be a touchy glove, but you know what?
Those gloves never work.
That's why you got to go barehanded and just...
Exactly, exactly.
Rotate?
No, how do you...
Oh, invert here.
Oh, right.
Yes, here.
I don't know.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.
So, anyways, I've been showing how they cleared the entire thing.
They cleared the entire thing.
Now they might be able to take away this sign here to actually let the people walk.
Walk to chat.
Remind me to clip that story of the registered nurse who was retired.
Excuse me, what's the name of the term?
Oh, Viva Frei.
Viva?
V-I-V-A-F-R-E-I.
Nice to meet you.
The registered nurse who comes out of retirement at the call of their government.
You got Zot!
Zot's back!
Zot, guys!
You know, I want to give Viva a big thank you, Ashley, Chris.
Look at this.
Dude's at 20,000 subs.
No, no, no.
I'm 500 away, guys.
So, you know, if you guys could get me to 20,000, that'd be great.
Zot's doing the live streams at night.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Oh, no, he's doing them all the time.
I went for 11 hours yesterday.
How many battery packs is that?
Oh, I have to go home and then go home and then charge my battery pack.
Well, Godspeed, man.
Thanks, man.
Keep it up.
ZOT, ZOT, almost to 20,000.
Much love.
The registered nurse comes out of retirement at the call of the government, is the hero, serves in actual risk in the early parts of the pandemic, and is then canned on unpaid leave, disregarded by the very government.
That called her out to serve.
You guys mind being on the webs?
For you, Viva, my greatest reporter in Ottawa right now.
I'm not a reporter.
I'm a man with a camera.
You're an actual journalist, actually.
Instead of a state-run propagandist.
I accept propagandist.
Also, you've made me half famous down here and I'm kind of upset about it.
You can't hide it anymore.
I notice you're shoveling again like a radical.
I just...
That's how you start insurrections, is keeping things really, really clean.
Well, you know, you can't insurrect the government if the sidewalks have snow on themselves.
So, Viva, you walked in from here, right?
Did you notice the street conditions before you got to the convoy and after?
I'm going to pay attention to it.
I did notice that I was going to put running shoes on.
But then I was stepping in too much slush on the sidewalk, so I put my boots on.
And what do we have right here?
It is beautiful.
It's perfect.
It is clean.
And it smells good.
I mean, I smell a bunch of things.
One of them might be me.
One of them might be me.
I did get a shower the other night, washed my hair.
No!
That's not what I meant.
I meant, you know.
There's food cooking.
And, you know, I'll say this to the mayor of Ottawa, Mr. Jim Watson.
You're a hero!
I'll be sending you a bill for...
For the public works.
They'll charge you.
No, I'm going to charge them.
Because they owe me for cleaning up.
Dude, you're doing amazing stuff.
So are you.
Thank you so much.
Listen to Viva.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
Viva.
Rebel Media.
Viva.
I'm here fraternizing with the bad news outlets.
How you guys doing?
Good.
How's it going, Viva?
Good.
So I'm seeing, what is the word on the street?
Now, Rebel is journalist.
I am just a documentarian.
What's the word on the street?
Well, the word on the street, all I can tell you is what I'm seeing on the street and what I'm hearing from being on the street, from talking to truckers, supporters.
And what I can tell you is that they have no intention on leaving anytime soon.
We're seeing a lot of pressure from the government, police, to get these guys out, but they're not leaving.
So I've been hearing the pressure as well, but I have not been seeing enforcement from the police.
Is there, in your journalistic investigative walkings, are the police not enforcing it?
Are they just not being ordered to do it just yet?
Is there any reticence?
Is that the word in English?
Reluctance.
By the police to actually carry out what people are saying are their orders.
We're seeing, well, we're getting reports, we're seeing videos.
It's hard to catch.
We try and get on the scene right away when they're happening, but we're getting a lot of stuff sent to us of fuel being seized from trucks.
That is happening, but they're kind of picking and choosing who they're seizing the fuel from.
And we've seen also, like, you know, I'm sure you've seen Viva.
There's literally, like, camps set up around the city.
And the one camp had...
Tons of firewood and the police came they put out the fire and they just grabbed a portion of the firewood I'm not sure if any tickets are issued or handed out and they left so there's some intimidation factors for sure what they are doing also is they are taking the names of people and they're not actually issuing them tickets on the spot they're saying that you're gonna receive something in the mail so to be deterred because that's why if I were a policeman who You know, discreetly supported the cause.
That's what I would do and then never actually send the tickets.
You think they're going to send the tickets?
I don't think so.
But who knows?
This is unprecedented.
Everything is unprecedented here.
It is.
What is it?
I don't know if Brave New World is the right analogy, but it's uncharted territories.
For those who are watching who may not know who you are, who are you and what's your handles?
My name is Lincoln Jay.
I'm a video journalist with Rebel News.
And you can follow me on Twitter at Lincoln...
And if you want to check out all of our coverage here on the ground in Ottawa, we've been here since the 28th of January.
Some of my colleagues have been following the convoy from out west, so we have a lot of content.
If you want to see the other side of the story, if you want to see what's really happening on the ground, go to convoyreports.com.
Guys, you can check out full reports, interviews, short clips, everything you need to know what's happening here on the ground, but this guy's doing a hell of a job too.
I-N-C-O-L-N-M-J.
That was it.
@LincolnJay on Twitter.
Thank you so much, Viva.
It's always a pleasure.
Thank you.
Same.
Enjoy it.
Have a good day.
Thanks.
Okay.
Gotta flex the hands.
They're getting very, very cold.
So now we're just going to look.
The monument is still fenced off.
I mean...
I hear something.
Did I hear something?
I just wanted to say hello.
It's going this way.
Camera's the other way.
How are you doing?
Good in yourself.
Here, I'll take this.
Isn't that true?
Here, I'll do it like this.
Here, I'll do it like this.
Here we go.
The sign says, hey, Trudeau, the country can run itself.
You just proved it.
Leave it.
Thank you, truckers.
We love you.
Leave it to Justin.
Leave it to everyone in Ottawa to show you that the convoy can actually clean the streets, shovel the snow.
Decrease crime, feed the homeless, quite literally, and when asked by the court not to honk their horns, which they had already stopped, they also abide by court injunctions.
That is how every...
His salary comes from us.
He doesn't need the salary, though.
That's the problem.
Do you want to...
Are you able to be on camera?
Okay, let's see.
It's going this way.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
pointing at the monument.
Thank you!
Take care.
Have a great day.
Nice to meet you.
Bye.
Alright, now we're going to go back.
We've got one more.
Here, come around this way so we can keep the angle here.
We will not acquiesce.
Sir, where are you in from?
I'm from Crawford Bay, BC.
Crawford Bay, BC.
So you came in with the convoy?
Yes.
Day one.
Yes, I called to them in Thunder Bay, actually.
I was two days behind.
Are you a trucker by trade?
No, I just came to support them.
Son of a beast.
Holy cow.
Explain to the world who doesn't appreciate Canadian geography how far a drive that is.
That's 3,800 kilometers.
3,800 kilometers, which is about 1.6 kilometers.
So it's about 2,000.
It's about 1,800 miles.
2,000 miles.
And if I may ask, what do you do for a living?
Oh, right now I have a crystal shop in Crawford Bay.
And I make crystal jewelry.
No way.
Plug it, plug it, what is it called?
It's called Stones and Weave.
Stones and Weave in Crawford Bay, V.C. Does it have online sales?
Yes, it has online sales.
Stones and Weave, W-E-A-V-E?
Yes.
And crystal, what type of crystals?
I'm a fossil lover and a rock and mineral lover.
Yes, all type of crystals.
There's quartz and there's amethyst and...
The penalite.
All different kinds of crystals.
Gotta ask the obvious question.
How does anyone decide to get into that business?
How does that happen?
Well, I just hang out with friends who are into crystals.
I used to make jewelry all the time.
And I decided to get into crystals hanging out with my friends.
They taught me a lot of things about crystals.
And where do you get the actual crystals from?
Are they all over the world?
From all over the world.
Lots from Brazil.
I have friends on Denman Island who are going to get the crystals from.
They go to Brazil.
I have friends in Chilliwack and Vancouver Island.
Fantastic.
What's the website for the business?
Stonesandweave.com.
Okay, there you go.
Stonesandweave.com.
Why the weave?
Because I weave my jewelry.
Okay, so the crystals get woven into jewelry type stuff.
Yes, leather and cork cord I use.
Okay.
How long are you staying for here?
Until something changes.
I have no plan on going back until something happens.
I want to go back with a victory parade.
It happened about an hour ago, but the truckers over there all have a checkered flag already.
Or a few of them have a checkered flag for when they win.
They're going to fly the checkered flag.
Where are you staying?
Are you staying in the convoy or at an Airbnb or something?
Right now at the Airbnb.
And it's my last night.
I got invited to stay to some friends we just met at their house.
Fantastic.
Yes.
Amazing.
We will not acquiesce.
Is there anything on the other side?
No.
What's your first name?
Andrew.
Andrew.
That's my middle name.
Give me a hug.
Nice to meet you, Andrew.
Oh, nice to meet you.
Thank you for...
Your name is?
David.
David.
If you go to the internet web, it's Viva Fry.
Viva Fry.
Good.
My brother's name is David, too.
He lives here in Toronto.
All right.
Awesome.
And how have you been appreciating this experience?
This is awesome.
I would have been physically ill if I didn't come to this.
This is something I had to make.
That's why I decided to come.
Long journey to be a part of this.
Amazing.
This is significant.
Andrew, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Enjoy it.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
Gentlemen, do you guys mind being on camera?
No, no.
Okay.
Yes, I am.
How are you guys doing?
Really good.
Where are you in from?
I'm from Guelph.
Okay, that's not so far.
Not so far.
How long have you been here for?
We just got here.
We just moved to town a little bit ago.
Just got in.
We're going to be here overnight.
Apparently you should stay for Saturday if you have the option.
I'm going to come back.
I've been driving back and forth from Montreal.
I would watch some of your live streams off and on.
So you got the feel for it already?
Yes, sir.
Awesome.
Happy to be here.
Thank you for getting our camera, man.
My pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
I love your work.
Thank you very much.
We will make it down there.
We will make it.
I just want to show you the street and the absence of traffic.
And the absence of any sort of filth is what you need.
The cleanliness?
This is my coin purse.
Sorry, you don't mind if they're on me.
Okay.
This is my coin purse.
Someone gave this to me, it was gifted, but we're going to make sure to make use that way.
You know what I'm saying?
For coins!
You can put some coins in!
Oh, another baby?
Hold on, let me see.
I can show the baby?
She loves the camera.
Are you aware that you're part of a revolution?
She's not.
Oh, you're attending it.
There's been a lot of bad revolutions.
It is hopefully a better future for you.
Oh, I just knocked my camera.
You have very beautiful eyes.
She's got a hat though.
She's thinking about smiling.
You little bit shy.
How about if I go...
I'm being silently judged.
Who is this crazy, crazy eyesight?
Okay.
Have a good day.
Have a good one.
See ya.
Um...
Is it a sign that I'm seeing so many beautiful babies today?
There are more babies than dogs today.
And it's...
no.
Anyhow, we...
no.
42, 40. No.
Okay, here.
This is...
down Elgin Street.
And it's...
Beautiful and quiet.
Beautiful and quiet.
Beautiful and quiet.
Let's go do one more walkthrough.
Got my drop of water in my eye.
path cleared.
path cleared.
It is incredible, just the idea that so many people are actually just live streaming this because the rest of the world just wants to see it with their own two eyes if they can't be part of it.
Is your dog friendly?
I won't record you.
I just got to see this dog.
Awesome.
Oh, look at this.
So I got to say, it's got to be, there's got to be like a boxer or a pit bull.
With the locks that little mountain dog in him.
You've got such...
I mean it in the best way.
He's got little...
It's the pink piggy eyes that I love.
Yes, you've got beautiful...
Snoopy?
Awesome.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Another other man.
I don't know what janky means, but it's janky.
Alright, have a good one.
That dog was beautiful.
shed a little bit.
These buildings might have some of their physical beauty restored to them once they have some of their spiritual beauty restored to them.
Ooh, there's a glove.
Do I do it?
No, no, no.
Can't do it.
Can't do it.
Before COVID, I was a bit of a germaphobe, and I've gotten less germaphobic during COVID, but there's another glove here.
Ooh, between the two of them.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
All right, let's see what's going on in the convoy, but we're doing the Kubrick.
We're doing it.
Who's another director?
We're going to do Viva Tarantino.
That's it.
Viva Tarantino.
Alright.
One, two, three.
You know, I'm gonna turn sideways just to see my battery.
Battery's good.
Okay.
Boom.
let's do this
It's funny, speaking of Viva Tarantino, I've been realizing I might be jewels from from Pulp Fiction, just walking the earth and talking to people and that's all.
Just walking the earth.
Let's see what's going on here.
The dance dance revolution might be at the heart of the protests today.
All righty.
See, there's enough people here.
Definitely less than the other days, but a rainy Thursday.
How you doing?
A rainy Thursday.
Although as it gets later and later, I think people are going to show up at night.
Look at these kids dancing.
The insurrection of it all.
I tell you what, look at this.
A volatile situation.
Say it again?
A volatile situation.
It's crazy.
Look at this.
How you doing?
Thank you.
This is a terrible insurrection of dancing and children and happiness.
A fringe minority of extremists.
How you doing?
Great.
Awesome.
Resistance is here.
You're resistance is here.
Freedom.
Let's save yourself.
You don't want to be on camera?
No.
You look very happy.
You look too happy.
I'm so happy.
This is a moment.
This is history.
This is making this game.
From your mouth to God's hands, I hope it is.
Make sure you're heard.
Thank you.
Where are you from?
Say it loud.
Have luck.
Have luck.
Come on out here.
It's awesome.
Alrighty.
The same.
I've been watching you.
You're going to make enemies with that.
That's why I'm here.
That's what I'm doing.
Now watch your podcast.
I've been running away.
I'm originally from Toronto.
I've been running away from the province country.
I just came back from South Korea.
Amazing.
So, because they didn't have those pictures there, then they imposed them.
Lost my job, came back, went to Toronto.
Toronto was supposed to go down to win to Ottawa.
Everybody goes, why the hell did you go to Ottawa?
I said to fight the government.
And now I got an army.
Amazing.
I'm an international man.
I'll see you on Tim Pool.
Absolutely.
Where are you guys in from?
Do you mind being on camera?
No, no.
Say it loud.
Where are you in from?
We're in from Mingoside, Ontario.
How long have you been here for?
A couple of hours now.
And how do you find it?
It's awesome.
We've been here a couple of times.
So every time we got to Ottawa, we still have been.
We're doing our prank.
Even called the GG and told her we wanted to include or resign.
So we're doing our part.
I'm trying to inform everybody.
Trying to let everybody know and share our views.
Our views.
Not Trudeau's views, our views.
Amazing.
He's always talking about views, man.
All right, we're gonna make our way out of the oh See this this cars dog go.
I don't know much about cars.
That was not going anywhere either.
Let's see Yep, look at this.
It's beautiful.
It's amazing The jerrycan is going to represent freedom.
The jerrycan of freedom.
We'll go back to the Terry Fox Monument just to show everybody that after a week and a half of the most anti-black, racist, xenophobic, extremist, insurrectionist protests, the Terry Fox Memorial is not only not defaced, it's intact and it's...
People showing their love for Terry Fox and for what he represented.
It's funny actually, with the rain dripping off his face, it almost looks like he's crying.
I'm holding in my pee.
I'm holding in my pee for the entire day.
Thank you very much.
Now, someone had told me the other day that there was a lesser-known statue on the other side of a person who jumped in the water to save somebody.
And there's a statue on the other side that I have not seen yet, but I'm going to go up here.
We're going to walk around and see what's going on.
I see people in the chats always making the glowy jokes.
I suspect we have that in Canada, but I don't think it's quite as prevalent as it is in American history and American politics.
But now let's see where that statue...
Apparently there's a statue on the other side.
I'm gonna ask the police officers.
Gentlemen, the camera's pointing the other way.
I was told there's a statue of an individual who jumped in the water to save somebody.
And they both died, and it was opposite Terry Fox.
Doesn't ring a bell?
Terry Fox?
Yeah, but there's no monument on this side that you're aware of?
There's some in the back of the panel, but I'm not about that.
Okay, alright, awesome, thank you.
Okay, abandoning, we're not going there.
Yeah, camera's this way.
Thank you for all you're doing.
My pleasure, my pleasure.
Your hands are so warm, Paul, just keep warm my hands a little bit.
Where are you in from?
We're farmers, just safe as a city.
Okay, cool.
You've been here the whole time?
Here, hold on.
That one's good.
I'll give you my other hand now.
There you go.
So, what kind of farmer?
I'll tell you the story.
By the way, I'm not recording you, but the audio might pick it up.
So, I'm a farmer.
It goes to the farmer's market.
They closed us for four months.
And we've been under severe restrictions for two years.
Costco is accepted.
And I've written hundreds of letters to every level of government, everybody.
My only hope is to check this.
It's happening.
It's happening.
See the letter.
Alright, so someone didn't want to be on camera, but basically said, a farmer.
Restrictions.
Lockdowns.
for two years but costco exempt Alright, what do we see in the...
In the chat.
Wow, I'm just...
God.
It's not cold.
It's humid.
It's cold also, but not that cold.
Costco is China.
CCP, Costco.
Don't make me laugh.
My bladder is about 75% full.
Okay.
Alright, what do we got here?
We got what appears to be a...
something of a press conference?
Do I ask what's going on?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
No, I recognize you from your YouTube.
You're being a fry.
I'm also a lawyer and I work in criminal defense from Toronto.
Do you mind talking to a camera?
No, I don't care.
You don't mind people know you're here?
No, I don't care.
Criminal defense out of Toronto?
Yeah.
Currently practicing?
Yes, yes.
I work as a duty counsel lawyer.
So most of my work is with people that are dealing with mental health issues, people on the street.
That's most of my client base.
And during these last two years, we've never been this year.
You know, it's been an explosion of people suffering from mental health.
So, you know, that's a big problem that people need to think about.
You know, there's more to public health than just one specific.
You know, thing.
You know, public health is much bigger than coronavirus.
There's a lot of things going on with public health.
And a lot of people have told me since I've been here that this pandemic is taking an extreme toll on public health, on their livelihoods, on their relationships and things like that.
And, you know, people want change.
And I think that's why we're getting this outpouring here.
Also, you know...
There's a strong sense of community here.
People are helping each other out.
People are walking around picking things.
Food, coffee, hugs.
Support.
Someone to tell your story to.
A shoulder to cry on.
Unbelievable sense of catharsis here.
And it's beautiful.
I've never been more proud to be Canadian, to be honest.
I'm really glad to be here.
Thank you for your work.
And, you know, I was just over here.
There's a gentleman who's a local resident.
And he has a sign that, you know, please leave your hurting Ottawa residents.
I was just trying to get some information.
And I know that you talked to some of the counterparts.
Yeah, I'll go talk.
This is him right here.
Yeah, so I know you have a very good...
You have a very good way of talking.
I'm going to assess character before I decide how far I can push.
So, let me see.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
You're a friend.
How you doing?
I follow you on Instagram.
Awesome.
Follow me on Twitter.
Twitter's more of sticking than Instagram.
Okay.
You're going to talk to his right there.
No, no, no.
What are you doing?
I told him I was going to bring you over.
I said that you didn't put him on that.
Good chat.
Bye.
I spoke with this gentleman the other day.
All members of parliament, they are corruption and tools of corporations and not for the people.
They are controlled by vaccine companies.
We still have a lot of homeless people.
And then we've got a bunch of donkeys.
He's driving around in the street.
I don't know.
We're trying to get out of here.
The reason it's happening is because of the lockdown.
It happened so that no lockdown on the Mondays, I'm sorry that the residents of Ottawa are not experiencing physical isolation because of lockdown.
Talk to the radio.
Talk to the radio.
No one can say what they think about you.
No one can say what they think about you.
You don't have to convince me that the politicians have handled this incompetently.
I 100% agree with that.
100%.
It's a two-day street.
It's been terrible for everyone.
Boomeranging back and forth.
I get it.
I don't agree with that.
I don't agree with that.
I'm serious.
But I'm still...
That's all they want to do.
That's not.
It's really nice to see if they want to do something.
They presented it all too long.
They made it all too long.
Oh my god.
Just a little anecdote, by the way, when I lived in Paris in 1999 to 2000.
I live off Nutella banana crepes and ham and cheese crepes.
We're the most delicious things on earth.
They would make them on the street.
Can I talk with you?
You seem reasonable, actually.
I'm live streaming right now.
That's not going to upset you.
Let me go this way.
You're not going to get in trouble with other members if we end up agreeing on certain points.
Is that a question?
If we discuss certain things and ultimately we agree on certain points, you have no fear of reprisals from any other people who are anti-convuls.
I'm not sure I 100% understand.
Okay, let's get going.
Why are you here?
I'm here because I'm a resident of Ottawa and there are people, the residents of some of the neighborhoods surrounding the protest area who unfortunately have been experiencing aggressive behavior, threatening behavior, verbal assaults, even physical assaults, vandalism.
There's been, you know, defecation in people's front yards, a woman pushed to the ground.
The community, there are many people in the community who...
Are scared right now, fearful about walking around the neighborhood at night.
It's worse on the weekends.
And unfortunately, yes, some bad actors have attached themselves to this convoy.
And I'm not arguing with anyone's right to protest.
I've protested down here before.
This is where you do it, on Wellington's Parliament Hill.
But unfortunately, this is blending to neighborhoods, and residents are really feeling the...
The consequences.
I want to go item by item.
Crime.
Or assault.
What specific examples?
Some people can say, I don't believe you.
As of two days ago, the police report on convoy activity.
There's been over 850 calls for service, including menacing residents from convoy participants, ramming a police cruiser by demonstrators.
There are 85 open criminal investigations.
There have been over 200 calls to the hate crimes office.
That's resulted in four charges so far.
There have been 23 arrests related to other convoy activities.
activities.
And then last night, last night, the announcement, the daily update from the police that there's continuing unlawful threatening conduct in Sandy Hill, Center Town, Lower Town, and the markets.
And then my experience on the ground in the community reflects that too.
Convoy members are walking through neighborhoods.
He's obviously a liar.
Hold on, hold on.
Not me.
Don't call anybody scumbag liar.
I want to say this.
First of all, how does anyone know that they're from the convoys when those reports are being made?
Serious question.
How was it being identified from the conflict?
That's not a question I can answer.
They're just here because of the convoy.
Step one is, you have reports of criminality without any way of actually definitively attaching it to the convoy.
It's just calls coming in and people saying, I think it's with the convoy.
No, that's not true.
Even the police say it's attached.
I've actually asked a lot of the cops here, in real time.
And they've all, basically, haven't seen very much.
Listen, I'm not going to fall into this trap of debating whether this happened or that happened.
I am in the community, working with my neighbors, in the community.
We have, like, community meetings every night.
People are experiencing this.
They're telling firsthand that there's going to be violence and threatening behavior.
But it's the this that we need to define.
The this is, first of all, Ottawa was not a crime free place before the conference.
Of course not.
And it was not a homeless free place by any means.
I have family here.
So, the defecating on someone's porch, how do you know it wasn't a homeless person?
You're looking around here.
You've seen the combo.
Nobody's shitting on the streets here.
They're shoveling the streets.
So why would you think that the idea would be that the combo is going to leave here where they're making the place better and go dump on someone's front porch?
Dude, there is a qualitative difference in what's happening in the residential neighborhoods around here right now than before.
Is it conceivable?
It is a distinct and...
And very real qualitative difference in the experience.
And I've walked it a bit, but I'm all through the hypothesis.
Is it conceivable that what would have otherwise been the homeless people that were now no longer here might have gone to the residential areas and might be the ones who could be conceivably committing these acts that are being recorded?
Is that possible?
Wait a minute.
This is what I can tell you.
I'm involved in my community.
I care for my neighbors.
People are experiencing this stuff, particularly on the weekends when more people come in and are wandering around the residential neighborhoods at night.
This has happened.
People are talking about it every night, all the time.
Many people, not everybody, there's a lot of people from Ottawa who support this and are down here.
But a lot of people are also feeling fearful because of some of the stuff that's come to town because of this conflict.
And I'm just down here.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, let me finish.
And so I am just down here to communicate the experience of my community and some of the residents of Ottawa.
Many of the residents are in the neighborhoods right around here.
Just to communicate their anxiety, their fear, and the hurt that they're experiencing.
I'm trying to communicate that and very respectfully say, can we please think about them?
And maybe agree they should not be collateral damage.
That's what I'm saying.
Agreed.
Now, and I'll throw one obvious thing out.
If those acts of violence are going on, you are, by all accounts, you would be public enemy number one given this advice.
Have you felt the slightest bit of intimidation or threatening behavior being here effectively telling these people to go home?
I think I've been yelled at like three times.
That's it.
All right.
I would posit that the acts that are being complained about elsewhere could be actually and probably are totally unrelated to the convoy participants themselves.
I've been walking the streets.
I've been doing like 30-some odd hours of live streaming.
I've seen nothing and I've walked elsewhere.
I do presume that the homeless population that was here because I've been here and never felt good walking here at night before might have gone elsewhere and could be conceivably the ones doing it.
I think it's really shitty to blame the homeless population.
It might be even shittier to blame the people who might not be guilty.
But that's what's happening.
I don't know what to tell you.
I know you're going to try to pick apart everything I'm saying, but I don't know what to do.
I'm talking directly to people who are experiencing this, and it happened when the convoy came.
I don't know what to tell you.
I know you're going to expose all my lies, but I don't know what to put in.
This guy's been accusing me of lying since yesterday.
Everyone has a different tactic of discussing.
I'm going to suggest another thing also.
There has been actual...
I've seen this.
Statistics lie, yada, yada.
There have been articles saying that crime has actually gone down since the convoy's business.
You've seen that as well?
Yeah, okay, yeah.
All right, so I guess it's just going to be a question.
The police were asked about that as well.
And what the chief of police said, it's because their entire force is down here on Wellington and they're not patrolling the neighborhoods.
That's what the chief of police said.
That's an interesting, that might be also an interesting explanation as to why there could be an increase in certain types of acts elsewhere that might be actually not related to the convoy participants.
Have you met one angry participant?
Yes.
Which one?
Not me.
I will say 90%.
He looks like a decent guy and so do you.
Liars make me angry.
But I've never threatened anyone.
I have shouted at him that he's a liar.
I think the bigger, broader question is...
What about the solution?
What's the solution?
I guess the question is this.
I don't really want to get into your sentiments on the mandates.
On the substance of the protest?
I have no problem with people protesting.
I have no problem with that.
But remember when he said his neighbors were fearful, and I think you were going to say it's because of all the fear-mongering, right?
Well, so that's another thing.
The fear, the sentiments of fear are, you can't argue with emotions.
Acts of violence, you can discuss.
I've asked the cops.
You know, we're getting, it's diverging facts.
Well, I've heard the same people dumping on sports.
None of these people are shoving in sidewalks.
Why would they go somewhere else and take a dump on someone's watch?
I haven't individually pointed the finger at anyone.
I'm just saying this is happening because the convoy's here.
Like Occam's Razor.
Like the simplest solution.
It's the simplest explanation.
But between the two of us, the explanation that this convoy might have pushed out people who have otherwise been here, that could explain, that phenomenon could explain...
I mean, I think you're making a leap.
I think when...
Why don't you complain to Trudeau?
It's actually him that's causing this, not us.
Oh, man.
It's his problem, man.
Believe me, I'm no fan of Trudeau.
And I'll tell you one thing, because I saw the counter-protesters the other day, and I've spoken with people here who would appear to be ostensible allies of the counter-protesters, but then when it becomes known that they're no longer of the counter-protesters, the counter-protesters turn on them in the ways that you're describing, calling them names, shoving them.
I mean, is it conceivable that these acts are actually, they might be because the convoys here, but actually perpetrated by people who have nothing to do with the convoys?
You can posit as many theories as you want.
I'm just telling you what I've seen on the ground.
Okay.
Well, it's fair enough.
I mean, I'll have my theories.
What's your first name?
Bobby.
Bobby David.
Nice to meet you.
And how long are you going to be here for?
Are you going to head back before dark?
Today, tomorrow, and then reassess.
Okay.
You should come Saturday.
It's going to be a big day.
And just everybody out there, it does take courage to do this also because I think you're stepping into the belly of the beast, but I happen to think this beast is much less menacing than if this were inverted the other way.
What does that mean?
Well, if I were to go, I did interview the counter-protesters, but the sentiment I got from the counter-protesters on last Saturday, you know, there were signs that said sterilize white supremacists.
I don't care about those things, but...
I think you are probably, you're less likely to really get hatred by you coming here, but when I've talked with people who cross the lines from the counter-protesters to join the convoy and then the counter-protesters didn't appreciate that much.
Let me just conclude with this, okay?
I came down here to just communicate that many of the residents of the city who live around the downtown core are feeling fearful.
They've been subject to threatening behavior.
It happened when the convoy came.
I'm not blaming everyone that's down here, but unfortunately, that's just the reality.
And I'm saying, so what you're doing is picking apart all this stuff.
I wouldn't be justifying violence against the residents of Ottawa for any other cause at all.
It's wrong, and it divides workers.
Canadian workers have been shafted during this pandemic, right?
Truck drivers, teachers, construction workers.
I'm a proud union member.
Canadian workers have been shafted this entire time, right?
I think we can agree on that.
The frustration down here.
I can feel the frustration down here over the boomeranging health measures and the restrictions going back and the seemingly endless public health measures.
All of us share.
I just don't think the residents of Ottawa, my friends and neighbours, should be collateral damage in trying to find a solution.
It unnecessarily creates a division among people who could be allies.
But when people in Ottawa are feeling the direct impact of this convoy in a negative way that makes them feel threatened in their own neighbourhoods...
Then that is counterproductive to both of us.
It doesn't work.
Dude, again, again.
When the honking stopped, much better.
Like in the middle of the week, not as bad, but the weekend, like last weekend was bad.
Last weekend was bad.
There were a lot of people roaming the streets.
That had too much to drink, that had come in.
You know, there were like a thousand more cars came in.
One question.
Sorry?
Do you have a solution?
Yes.
Well, I'm just here respectfully asking the convoy to leave.
Okay, go back.
And what happened then?
What happened to you?
Okay.
Then the residents, my community will feel around here, they'll feel a bit safe.
Okay, but the solution to solve the problem.
Everything...
One more question.
Violence and threats, I don't tolerate.
I don't condone.
Full stop.
Inconvenience, horn honking, traffic.
What do you say to the argument that people who live in a government town, the capital city of the country, should be expected to tolerate what might be disruptive protests?
You know what?
A lot of people have tried to make that argument with me, and I think it's bullshit.
I don't think people who live in a residential neighbourhood in Ottawa should just expect.
To be subject to that.
And I don't think either of us should consider that a fair trade-off.
I live in Montreal.
I'm from Montreal.
I live on a street where there were protests for the lockdowns, but also for the indigenous blockade issues.
We're not talking about simple inconvenience.
We're not talking about simple inconvenience.
Now, I've driven in every morning.
Not every morning.
I've driven in multiple times.
Haven't seen any traffic.
In this area, I understand the restaurants have shut down, but I understand it was not by force.
It was by recommendation of the city for fear of disruption, which we haven't seen.
But what has been the inconvenience?
Like, what's been the critical inconvenience for local residents?
Above and beyond the hawking which stopped after the fourth day.
I'm a firefighter.
It's not that early.
Okay, well that's it.
We won't lose my job.
What has been the...
Well...
I didn't come prepared with a list of inconveniences.
I came with a list of experiences of people feeling threatened in their own neighborhoods.
That's what I came with.
All right.
That's the message I came with.
Good enough, sir.
Nice to meet you.
Well, this is live, so we've had a live discussion, but you'll see it on the internet, or it'll be on the internet, but it's nice.
I had a good discussion with some of the counter-protesters.
Some wouldn't talk.
A lot wouldn't talk of me.
It didn't insult me.
I just thought it was curious to come to a counter-protest and don't talk, but thank you for talking.
All right, have a good one.
Do you mind dealing with this?
I don't mind at all.
I've got to give you a hug.
Thank you so much for bringing truth.
Did you find out here?
No, no.
I'm heading back in a few minutes.
I'm totally fine.
Where are you in from?
Ottawa.
I've got to tell you something.
You know, we put a couple of freedom signs and some flags on the infrastructure property.
And did they get ripped away?
Yeah, they did.
I wonder if it's not Mayor Watson.
I saw Truckers Go Home written on that.
What did it say?
Go home.
It said something go home.
Truckers go home.
Graffitied on a lamppost.
That was one of the two.
Oh, I remember that.
We live that in real time, people.
I like it.
I like it.
I stood on a bridge at 30 below for two hours.
Took a bottle of wine and a heater to warm me up.
But it was the most unbelievable feeling.
I haven't felt that way since I...
Burst my babies.
Fantastic.
I'm going to posit this hypothesis that what the region has confirmed is in fact people who have been displaced from what they would have otherwise been here, they've gone into the residential areas, and they might...
I mean, these areas were known to anybody who knew Ottawa.
So now this sounds like a little bit of nimby.
Not in my backyard.
Now that people have been displaced, and this area was what it was, everyone knows it.
People have said I did not feel comfortable walking here at night until the convoy got here.
Convoy gets here, displaces that, and then that might have trickle-out effects to the residential areas.
So that's my theory.
Because I've talked to the cops, so I haven't gotten that.
You know, every single bunch of policemen I've walked by, I've clapped and said, I hope you enjoy your stay in Ottawa.
And every one of them has smiled back.
I have my theories about that too.
Yeah.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Have a good one.
You, sir, do you mind being on the camera?
You hesitated?
No?
I just noticed, where are you from?
I'm going to say Polish?
No, I'm Romanian.
A lot of Romanian I've been running to.
Are you part of the convoy or are you just here to support?
How long have you been?
You've been here since then, a week and a half?
Let me ask you this.
Why did you leave Romania?
I've spoken to a few Romanians, Poland.
I think I know the answer, but what brought you to Canada?
For a better life.
And we had a communist regime there.
I never dreamed that I had to fight together for 30 years.
Being from that country, we can see maybe clearly the other side of the communist family.
We don't want this.
We came for a better life.
And we don't want to do that again.
So, that's our plan.
Fantastic.
We are looking for solutions.
We don't want to fight, but there is no chance that we go ahead.
Thank you.
First name, if you don't mind telling me.
Adrian.
Adrian, can I get a hug?
I think that was a fun discussion.
Alright, have a good one.
Okay, the weather may be dictating a slow meander back to the car.
Warm up my hand a little bit here, and then, yeah, now it's getting wet, snowy, and windy.
How's it going?
Not the best combinations.
So, that was the discussion.
There's two things.
You can't argue with feelings.
How you doing?
Awesome thing.
There's another baby.
I haven't seen you yet today.
It's another baby.
I don't know what's going on today.
I've seen lots of babies.
I'm recording the other way.
She's covered it.
That's beautiful.
Amazing.
Have a good one.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Thank you.
People need to see it.
Okay, the weather is...
I'm going to go down.
Get out of the wind.
You can't argue with people's feelings, but you can question the facts.
So, police reports, let's take for granted all of those reports were in fact bona fide reports.
The question you'd have to ask in cross-examination, how many reports do the police get on any given day?
Because I've got to tell you, if it's the same number, if it's the same number of calls, does it matter where they're coming from?
Unless there's been a spike in criminal activity or call-ins or whatever the individual alleges has been going on.
If it's consistent, then it might just be displaced geographically.
I do happen to think my theory is a very plausible theory.
Yeah, we might be winding it up here a little early.
Valentine's Day in three days.
Thank you, Mrs. Carruthers.
So, people feel threatened, people feel intimidated.
Well, when people see a honk-honk and think it's a threat, or when people hear a honk and consider it to be an act of violence, you can't argue with that sentiment.
You can only say it's irrational and highly emotive.
There's an individual coming up from behind me.
How you doing?
I got 360 vision.
Yeah, good.
How you doing?
Wonderful.
Are you still?
You want to say something?
I'm actually asking you a question.
Yes.
Your outreach has been phenomenal and absolutely stunning.
Good numbers.
Who would have thunk people would want to watch three and a half hours of live stream?
Absolutely.
And so many.
And there's some for and there's some against.
Yeah.
Well, you're doing a good job.
Thank you very much.
You're recording both sides.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
And so I'm wondering if you, have you been in contact with the head organizers?
Because their press conference releases, like, you're blowing their numbers.
Oh, well, see, they, I, no comments.
I'm on camera.
But I've been in contact with people, but I try to remain more uninvolved.
So I can be, I can, I can say that I'm impartial, even if people think I'm biased.
But yes, it allows me, it allows me to maintain the distance.
Okay.
Well, wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
All right, so you can't argue with emotions.
You can assess the facts.
The dumping on people's front porches.
Look, I'll even take for granted that happens, that it's true.
What's the idea?
That the convoy protesters are meandering to go defecate on people's porches?
Or, you know, the hypothesis that they get rowdy, they get drunk, and a few of them meander and have to go and do it.
Possibly.
How you doing?
I'll keep pointing it this way.
Don't worry.
I can always tell when someone doesn't want to be on camera.
Did you hear what I said?
I said that in a pandemic, according to the United Nations Charter, the World Health Organization takes over.
That means the local health departments are deputized.
It's like the UN General Secretaries.
They're immune from everything.
That's why.
And there's a guy behind you glowing.
Yeah, I remember him.
Awesome.
So you used to be around?
You're still going?
Oh yeah, I'm still going.
I'm still going.
It's pointing now.
I'm in between the Latin Embassy and St. Peter's Lutheran Church and Trudeau's church is right next to mine.
Awesome.
Have a good one.
I can immediately tell when someone doesn't want to be on camera and when they don't mind.
How are you doing?
I'm okay.
I don't know if it matters or not, but I'm here because of you.
Do you want to say hi to the camera?
Sure.
There's a lot of people watching.
You have to be sure about it.
Okay, yes.
Okay.
You're sure you're not getting in trouble?
I shouldn't get into trouble.
Oh, I'll keep it this way.
I'm okay.
Thank you so much for what you're doing.
I've been at home for the last week and watched mostly you.
I don't know why.
Maybe because I like the comments you're making and I'm kind of in the same field.
Awesome.
And some of the stories are touching my heart.
And I said, you know, I need to bring my kids.
I was his age when communism...
Because we know how it feels.
Nazi half-rights.
It's a big hit.
It's huge for people.
If you notice, you see a lot.
Serbian, Russians, all these people.
I see a lot of poll.
I've admitted to a few polls.
Because we leave the communists.
So we know everything starts to little, little, little, until you don't even have the right food, what you put on the food, what you eat.
Everything was rationalized.
Food, bread, everything.
That's it.
Okay.
If they're going to say, if you don't get back, you've got to pay a health tax.
We'll say, if you're overweight, you've got to pay it.
Here's what you've got to eat in order to remain within the government.
And I wanted my keys to be part of that.
Sir?
Nice to meet you.
I'm so happy I saw you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I see vandalism here.
I gotta see what it says.
Here we go.
I'm still not recording here.
I see vandalism.
Kiddo, center, town, trap stars.
I don't believe that has anything to do with the convoy.
So, yeah, that's it.
You can't argue with people.
People feel threatened.
People feel intimidated.
It's probably because the media is sitting there saying, if you see someone carrying a Canadian flag, they're out to assault you.
Or that certain image...
Sorry.
Certain images are hate symbols.
Then you'll feel scared when you see them on the street.
So, feeling scared, you're entitled to your feelings.
You're not entitled to your facts.
And then the question is, the numbers that that guy reported...
Are they factually accurate in terms of existence?
And then are they factually accurate in terms of description?
Yes, that's what I meant to say.
Thank you very much.
Have a good one.
So that's it.
But I got to tell you, if overall crime is decreased in Ottawa, whether or not it's because of the presence of police, it begs the question as to if there is a displacement of certain acts, which you would typically imagine happened here.
You might have another explanation.
It might be because of the convoy, but it might not be by the convoy.
We might actually both agree.
It's because of the convoy, but it's not as a result of the convoy.
Or it's not the convoy itself.
Alright, so that's it.
I can go another 20 minutes.
I think I can go another 20 minutes.
Now my hair is jerry curls, people.
When it gets wet...
Jericho!
Welcome to America.
Coming to America.
Probably one of the best comedies ever.
Alright, we're back.
Back where we started.
Which is a good place.
Let's see what we got here.
They can come to my neighborhood at any time.
Soul Glow.
That's right, it was Soul Glow.
I just snorted.
Oh, that's great.
On the internet.
This statue also doesn't need a barrier around it.
Is this appropriate?
It's appropriate.
Thank you.
That kid's got it.
They went in for the detail.
They went in for the detail.
I'm not going to get too close.
I once made a video back in the day when the world was sane and I was able to just make fun videos.
It was called Penises of the Met.
Because I took the kids, my wife, Marion and I were in New York.
We went to the Met with the kids.
And to make it interesting, to make it fun, I was taking pictures of all the penises of the statues.
And then I made a montage called Penises of the Met.
And anyways, YouTube demonetized that video.
Bastards.
Bastards.
We will not be open today.
Scan to view menu.
I'm looking for something that I wanted to see that would make me angry.
I did not know that the vaccine passport system was open and was imposed in Ontario.
Oh, here we go.
Now I'm pissed.
There you go.
I think that's Gaelic.
For the safety of our guests and team, we appreciate your support with the following.
Mask required.
Physical distancing.
Digital contact tracing.
COVID-19 proof of vaccination required.
Digital contact tracing.
And I'm talking to Romanians who say they know what communism looks like when it comes.
And it comes slowly but slowly, slowly but surely.
And then sure enough, the government's telling you what food to eat because they're rationing your food.
Contact tracing?
So that if I go to a restaurant and then someone...
I've got to give them my number and my info so that if anyone at that restaurant tests positive, they get to call me and tell me that I've got to isolate for 10 days in my house.
Because that's how it works.
and it's absolute madness.
Madness.
Contact tracing.
Give me your info.
Show your papers to go eat.
Sir, how are you doing?
Now I'm ranting.
I'm on a roll.
There you go.
There you go.
Yep.
Yep.
Alright.
Contact tracing to go into a restaurant.
And then what ends up happening?
You don't go.
You stop going and you own nothing and you're happy.
You're actually happy to not go up because going out is such an absolute soul-crushing stress.
You don't travel because traveling is such a miserable experience.
A dehumanizing experience.
Show your passport.
Show your vax pass.
Get your retinal...
Retinal...
What is it called when they scan your face?
Biometric scanning.
So you don't end up doing it.
Thank you.
And then you're supposed to be happy.
And you will be happy just because it'll be easier not to do anything.
It'll be easier to...
Whatever.
Okay.
Now we're back.
Back to the beginning.
quiet as anything.
Hope everyone liked it.
That's...
I'll be back.
I mean, I think I have to be back Saturday.
I probably won't come back tomorrow.
But this is the other thing.
I actually feel relieved that there are so many other people doing this as well.
So that if things...
If the situation changes, there will be people here documenting it.
And it's not...
Nobody's relying on Viva Fry and Viva Fry alone.
But I just...
I mean, look, we're meeting the people.
We're talking to them.
And you're hearing the stories of the people who've gone through this in other countries.
And they're seeing it here.
And I defy anybody to dare say that they're not in a position to make those statements.
Having lived it, having seen it firsthand, having fled it, and now having seen it infiltrate the country to which they fled for the better life.
How you doing?
I'm just winding it up now.
Are you guys mind being on camera?
Oh, we're on the media!
Yes, we're on the media!
Which one?
Our own.
Hey!
Oh, go!
Okay.
From Quebec.
Plug it.
Plug it.
You want to do it in French?
No, but we want to launch it.
We're going to do it in French and then I'm going to translate it afterwards.
Okay, go for it.
Présentez-vous.
Well, I'm Elo Versavoir from Quebec, and we are here today to do lives and just to keep people informed.
So we're usually doing our stuff in French, but I mean, yeah, we're from Quebec.
What's the channel?
Elo Versavoir.
Elo Versavoir.
So, Elo.
Elo.
E-L-O-V-E-U-T-S-A-V-O-I-R.
L-O-V-E-U-T-S-A-V-O-I-R.
You know you're French.
I studied in Quebec City.
That's awesome.
Université Laval is my alma mater.
And so you guys are here for the weekend?
Yeah, for two days.
No, we're leaving tomorrow.
Oh, you might have to change that and stay for Saturday.
What's going on?
Saturday is supposed to be the big day.
Are you serious?
Everybody who wants to come...
You might have to stay Saturday.
I don't know anything.
I know nothing.
But last Saturday, it was a dance like shoulder to shoulder.
So Saturday, people coming from everywhere.
When we came last weekend, the hotel was cancelled because they cancelled and refunded us without even really telling us.
So then we had to book on the other side in Gatineau.
And then it was May.
I was here the first weekend and I came back last week on Tuesday and I'm back in the week.
So I've experienced...
But what I like during the week is that we have fun to talk with people and get the stories.
And the weekend is a party.
It's like a festival.
Everybody's dancing.
It is too noisy on the weekend to talk to people.
Yeah, I'm just making sure to see what's going on here.
Okay, it is too noisy on the weekend to get interviews.
What's your name again?
David.
Cassandra.
Cassandra, enchanté.
Eloise.
Eloise, nice to meet you, sir.
Gab, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Have a good weekend.
Hello Versabro.
How are you?
Good and yourself?
Good, good.
I've got 360 vision, so I saw people.
You don't mind being on camera?
No, no, no.
Where are you from?
In from?
Wipy.
Wipy?
Not too far.
All right.
I'm sure I'm Wipy.
You're heading out for the day?
I'm just leaving.
I'm just leaving.
I'm going to meander back, maybe go to Confederation Park.
I've done the tours and we've gotten a lot of good interviews today.
A little wet, but warmer anyway.
Wet and warmer, but I'm going to go...
This is...
The fro is a little wet.
The fro is depressed.
How are you finding it?
It's awesome.
I haven't really seen my profile, but...
Let me get a picture of it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Go to the...
You've got to get to the center and you'll see that's where the party's at.
I can't see anything anymore with my...
Awesome.
I saw it.
Thanks a lot, David.
Awesome.
Take care.
Thank you.
See you.
All right.
