Thanks for your thoughtful review.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
You have put your POV over really well in this write Laura. I'm presuming the mandates you talk about are Covid related. I know here in Australia nothing has divided our country before, like the rules and restrictions around covid have. Thanks for sharing, we don't get a lot of Canadian news, cheers,

Thanks Pearl, yes especially the vaxx passport but once all vaxx mandates are gone the truckers will go home. There have been many protests in Australia, I watch them on rebel news.

You did a good job with your post from a primary source (you). It all seems confusing to me what the objective really is and really is there, and do they all support the same issues? However, I will never go there, so I have to base my opinion on what I read and see. Yours was a good read. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

They just want to end all mandates passports etc. Thanks for reviewing, I appreciate it.
Comment from Anne Johnston
Thank you for sharing your experience in Ottawa and what is going on there. I am not taking either side on this, we are hearing lots of positive stories as well as negative ones. Just hope they settle their differences soon so Ottawa life can get back to normal.

I came to read you here, nt knowing what to expect, as I always like to support your work.
I must admit, not mentioned here, I did not know of the lorry drivers or what they are protesting about, so a surprise for me here. I googled 'lorry drivers and Canada' to see what it was, and our biggest National News website came up with this:
BBC NEWS
''For nearly two weeks, hundreds of lorries have brought the city centre to a standstill, forcing many local businesses to close.
Resident's nerves were also being frayed by constantly blaring air horns. On Monday, however, they had a small victory when an Ottawa judge ruled that the truckers must stop honking their horns for 10 days.
While most of the protest has been peaceful, Ottawa police have said they are concerned about the extremist rhetoric coming from far-right groups at the rally. As well as reported racial and homophobic abuse, Nazi symbols have been displayed and protesters danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial.
Ottawa police have said they are investigating more than 60 incidents, including alleged hate crimes and property damage.
Justin Trudeau tweet=
"I want to be very clear - we are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless," Mr Trudeau told MPs at an emergency debate in Canada's House of Commons on Monday.
"We won't give in to those who fly racist flags, we won't cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonour the memory of our veterans."
Now I understood this is all over vaccines and the economy's shutdown.
Yes, like US and many other countries, many not belie in or value the vaccine and measures, yet 904,000 deaths In USA, and in all the countries of Europe 1,643,658
In Canada 34,000
Even if one person to one family, it is devastating, but as it rolls on, one seem to lose the importance of someone's son, mother, father wife husband or grandparents dying...it becomes accepted, but when you are the family that has lost a child, grandparent or parent, the story becomes a different one.
One thing; People must be allowed to show or voice their opinion freely, as long as not bordering on hate, intimidation, or anarchy that directly or indirectly harms.
There are many sides and reasons to a single story, never mind two sides, and what is seen is not always is, depending on where you enter the chapter. And like always, a peaceful protest, which is certainly what you went to, should be upheld, and be such. And you, and what you saw, adhered to such a meeting. This should be encouraged. But sadly, as Shakespeare says, all is not always as seem. And as usual, Wherever here is division and unhappiness, especially protest, there will always be elements of particular groups hoping for anarchy or just carnage against the establishment, so the peace is drowned, and the setting served as a platform for other sinister agenda. For without these platform, these cells of such group would only be able to function in the dark, or in own company.
I know you are a good person, and it is a pleasure to call you a fellow author and friend. I am so happy you had a pleasant weekend in solidarity for what you deem as choice.
The one of vaccine is never easy...we have personal choices that will impact ourselves, but if it impacts others, directly, there never will be any easy solution. I try to keep out of the glare of the headlights, and do what I feel is correct. Others will feel something different, and must be respected for that difference, if that belief does not directly harm another.
Its a big world dearest author, but sadly for many a year, seem to have small minds in it, and the realisation of how fragile life is, usually does not come until a point of no return.
Nice to read from you.
Have a pleasant week.
My best

Wow...just came on the news now about Canada. They are protesting of not being able to cross the border between America and Canada without being vaccinated. It says it is open one way now, but not the other....I am not sure which way...to Canada or to the USA. Just a short announcement.

Thanks for your thoughtful review, the mainstream media is not telling the truth and our Prime Minister has lost the confidence of most of his people.
Comment from Sally Law
Virtual six!! An amazing personal account of history in the making is always appreciated. I am glad to see you and your family standing up for what is right. God bless you in your endeavors.
One improvement for you consideration. Nazi is a proper noun and should be capitalized, especially in reference to the Nazi Regime or Nazi Party.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sal XOs...

Comment from Terry Broxson
This is like an embedded reporter giving a firsthand account of this newsworthy story. This is a great entry for this contest, good luck. I think you captured a good picture of what was going on.

Comment from Susan Newell
Laura,
Many of us south of your border are rooting for the truckers and all citizens of Canada, as well as hopeful that similar movements will break out here. We have undergone a great deal of conditioning to behave like cattle and follow the herd or flock. Thanks you so much for writing such a great piece about what is really happening. I made some proofing/editing nites below.
Sue
I saw no problems or signs of racism. People were there from every race and walk of life, from Blue collars workers, Pastors, Nurses, Lawyers, Firefighters, Physicians, Business owners, families, and of course the truckers and supporters. There was a lot of police present but they just stayed in the background. Many police are Freedom movement supporters. -- I wouldn't cap the professions; many police WERE present
All just ordinary Canadians, in a lawful demonstration asking the government to give us freedom of choice and get rid of all mandates. -- particularly since you are starting a new paragraph, I would include a verb.
The only nazi flags I saw, were calling Trudeau a nazi, as in the second world war, the nazi regime -- Nazi is usually capped (originally an acronym, NAZI)

There is more of it than tou know. Worldwide people are fed up with the tyranny and planned Great Reset. Sponsors of the Olympics have seen plunges i sales. The people have the power -- if they will use it. Baby Trudeau sounded like a whimpering puppy in front of Parliament.
