Said that the numbers looked very similar maybe slightly bigger than the Canada day celebrations of years past. Usually 1 million people attend those. You can’t fit 50,000 trucks in the downtown core of Ottawa let alone 133,000. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from The Ottawa Citizen from Jan 29......... "Downtown Ottawa was gridlocked all day Saturday by one of the loudest, boisterous, most free-wheeling demonstrations ever to overrun Parliament Hill. Thousands braved the bitter cold to mainly protest vaccine mandates across Canada, led by a convoy of truckers who took over Wellington Street for blocks, honking horns ceaselessly and decrying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at every turn. The size of the crowd was difficult to estimate as people kept coming and leaving all day, but easily numbered in the 10,000 range (based on the capacity of the Parliament Hill lawn)." https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/egan-all-sound-and-fury-as-the-unheard-make-noise-take-over-the-hill ******************* Please calibrate your BS meter. 1 4 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedestroyerofworlds Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Gives us some trash information, yet still won't provide us with a link to his source. I mean, we have photographic evidence of both the Freedumb protest and pre-covid Canada Day celebrations to compare. I would love to see photos that demonstrate the protest crowd far exceeds typical Canada Day celebrations. From what's been posted here previously, the opposite is the case. Go on believing the peddlers of nonsense that is the Freedumb Convoy leadership. They are totally telling the truth. /s 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said that the numbers looked very similar maybe slightly bigger than the Canada day celebrations of years past. Usually 1 million people attend those. Also, 1 million people do not attend Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill. That's ludicrous. 56K gathered on Parliament Hill for Canada's 152nd birthday When events wrapped up at the Canada Day celebration on Parliament Hill more than 56,000 people had attended over the course of the day, according to the Parliamentary Protective Service. There was a capacity crowd for the evening celebrations with approximately 30,000 people taking in the show and fireworks. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-parliament-hill-canada-day-2019-numbers-1.5196224 ********************** It would appear your cousin has an active imagination. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nuckin_futz Posted February 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2022 I still cannot believe someone could actually be gullible enough to believe up to 2.3 million people descended upon Ottawa in the dead of winter no less to protest vaccine mandates when approx 85% of the country is vaccinated. Especially when the source of the information is the Trucker Convoy webpage. How high would this number have to be before this person questioned what he was being told? 5 million? 10 million? 20 Bajillion? 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say whatever, even if its impossible, who cares as long as I feels good? Anyone thats visited Ottawa knows how dumb the idea of 50,000 trucks is. But my cousin I think it began with Trumps embarrassing turn out for his inauguration, it seems to have empowered fake numbers for rallies, etc. I actually think they do this just to keep people talking. The more we're talking about something dumb the less time they figure we spend on important things. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
