A truck convoy is making its way across Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa, protesting recent vaccination mandates. The convoy will make stops in Brandon, Portage la Prairie, and Headingley tomorrow.
A mandate that came into effect on January 15th, requires anyone crossing the Canada-US Border to be fully vaccinated or get a negative PCR test outside of Canada within 72 hours of entering the country, then test again when they arrive, and finally self-test 8 days into their mandatory 14-day quarantine.
The truck convoy to Ottawa was organized by Canada Unity, which is an anti-public-health-mandate group. Their plan is to be in Ottawa by January 29th, where they will be joined by a convoy making its way from eastern Canada.
