A trucker interviewed by The Post Millennial's Beth Baisch in Ottawa on Saturday said that he plans to stay in Ottawa "until it's over, until Justin resigns or all mandates are lifted."
One trucker told The Post Millennial he is here "because I wanna fight for the freedoms of Canada and my grandchildren and my kids."

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called the truckers white supremacists, for which he was aggressively shouted down on social media. Maxime Bernier called out Trudeau for leaving the capitol right when so many had come to speak to him. Indigenous drummers offered the truckers their support in the form of a drum circle.
Canadian truckers made their way to Ottawa on Saturday for a planned protest in which they have stated their intention to "gridlock" the city until the Trudeau government lifts vaccine mandate requirements for the trucking industry.
