Village Media reporter Tyler Evans made the pilgrimage to Ottawa to report on the convoy protest during its third weekend.
There is a carnival-like atmosphere in the streets of downtown Ottawa this weekend, despite the provincial state of emergency declared on Thursday by Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Much of the downtown core is clogged with protesters who have converged on the nation's capital for a third successive weekend.
While the temperatures have plummeted, it hasn't deterred those inspired by the convoy of truckers to gather in support of ending public-health restrictions triggered by COVID-19.
Residents and people who work in the downtown core may be tired of the noise and traffic, but there are no signs that this protest is waning.
On Saturday, thousands of people, many with Canadian flags, almost all unmasked, were dancing in the streets on the 16th day of the protest.
