This weekend’s protests in Ottawa against vaccine mandates saw thousands of people and a convoy of trucks and other vehicles descend on the centre of the Canadian capital.
Amid cries of “freedom”, demands for a removal of all Covid-19 restrictions, and attacks against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government, there were also swastikas and other Nazi imagery, public urination, harassment of local businesses and a soup kitchen, and national outcry over the treatment of a statue and war memorial.
