A man who occupied the streets of downtown Ottawa in Canada’s so-called “Freedom Convoy” now finds himself filled with regret after giving all his life savings to the anti-vaccine mandate protests that kicked up last January.
Martin Joseph Anglehart told CTV News Ottawa that, while he didn’t necessarily agree with the motives behind most protesters – he told the outlet he “never had a stance” on vaccine mandates or lockdown policies – he did find a sense of belonging among the truckers who ground the nation’s capital into a honking halt.
