Ottawa police say they expect more protests and larger than usual crowds during Canada Day celebrations in the capital this July as groups related to the Freedom Convoy continue to plan protests.
In a statement, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) said it is "working with Canada Day organizers and our policing partners to implement a public safety plan that allows all Canadians and visitors to freely and safely enjoy the capital during this celebration."
Significant road closures and an increased police presence are expected. Police say additional resources from other services are being brought in.
Several groups — most formed out of the Freedom Convoy — are planning protests in Ottawa throughout the summer, including many of the key figures and prominent streamers involved in the ongoing "Freedom Movement."

Applegrove:
The right wing in North American wants more real estate in the minds of Canadians with a sign"freedom" on it. They didn't get enough traction in the winter so they are back. Such bull****! Astroturfing. They need a conflict with Trudeau. Mask mandates are gone. So too border covid regulations. They are probably going to protest inflation even though oil and gas is mostly in Alberta not Ottawa and inflation is everywhere in the world.
