The Associated Press reports:
Some parked on the grounds of the National War Memorial and danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, others carried signs and flags with swastikas and some used the statue of Canadian hero Terry Fox to display an anti-vaccine statement, sparking widespread condemnation.
The convoy of truckers and others prompted police to prepare for the possibility of violence and warn residents to avoid downtown. A top Parliament security official advised lawmakers to lock their doors amid reports their private homes may be targeted.
The prime minister’s itinerary for the day usually says he is in Ottawa if he’s at home, but on Saturday it said “National Capital Region” amid a report he’s been moved to an undisclosed location.

I am sickened to see protesters dance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and desecrate the National War Memorial. Generations of Canadians have fought and died for our rights, including free speech, but not this. Those involved should hang their heads in shame.

After explaining to these less than fine Canadians of the hallowed grounds upon which they trode, this was their reaction in the name of Freedom. Unsat! pic.twitter.com/Mk7VVLsfxo

The anti-vaxx protesters made a mockery of the tomb of the unknown soldier today.
They defaced the Terry Fox statute and his legacy.
And now there is a swastika being flown at our parliament.
A fucking swastika. pic.twitter.com/hUKXHydO6n— Charlie Angus NDP (@CharlieAngusNDP) January 29, 2022
This is disgusting. Terry Fox is a Canadian hero, not a prop. https://t.co/RWASpz152c

So let me get this straight: They urinated on the National War Memorial. They disrespected Terry Fox’s statue. They displayed Nazi symbols at Parliament Hill. They stole food from a soup kitchen for the homeless…and they want us to think this is about “freedom”?
