Finally had the chance to properly visit the downtown side of Ottawa after all the work & life things. Finally able to see things for myself, examine the situation, and to admire the trucks. The many reasonings into one. It’s basically happening in my city having to visit while the iron is still hot, or so they say. Would have visited this convoy on Saturday (a few days earlier), things weren’t planned properly. I was also fairly silent simply nodding and saying I was “alright” when asked how things were. No disrespect, I had to take as many images as possible in such a short time-frame I was in. On top of that, it was also freezing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Checking out the LRT at Tunney’s Pasture. Was considering it, two sketchy folks prevented me from taking it. Same with being undecided if it takes a Presto. Never took the LRT. It was 99% empty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– An all electric bus roaming around doing loops at Scott and Bayview. Probably experimental, a new bus at that having not seen it. This is my first sighting of that bus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– (Pano) Trying to get the best POV. I believe it was further behind me. This gives you a vague idea of how far it goes (semi panorama image)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

War Museum – Convoy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to start somewhere, hence the ‘intro’ above and this War Museum convoy below. Found this area to be fairly neat. It was neat seeing this decently sized camp here, the police however unnerved me after hearing how they raided the fuel from the truckers in various areas a few nights ago from this day. They even abused a trucker in a green van which [Is shown here<\/a>]. I don’t want the video embedded. Focus is my experience of the convoy on Tuesday, February 8th, 2022. Police gave me some odd looks, though nothing serious. We kept to ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure the cops are in a 50\/50 zone being forced to over-reach by Dictator Trudeau and Watson. Both are scumbags of Canada, hence the situation and protests. My parents always Dispised\/disposed both of them, as do I. Even when they both appear on the media. You can tell they’re as fake as they can come. I’d rather have Harper, at least then I naively viewed the world in a better light seeing things get done. Maybe I’m wrong on the Harper bit. Neither here nor there, just side ramblings. My side point was cops are only human (they’re not your friends), though they can be formally conversed with. Even they should have a breaking point forcing them to hold their own morality line.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also a vehicle I haven’t taken a picture of with how banged up I was. I was still “warming up” on my photography side. Trying to get back into a groove. It was black, was banged up harshly with a fuel tank sticking out. I chuckled at the damages, I however failed to read the messages. No disrespect. If I visit again I may take a picture for next time. I was simply being “shy”. People may have been in the car making things even more awkward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Convoy at War Museum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Their little neat base camp. Didn’t want to intervene or walk into anything. Took pictures and moved on. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Peaceful.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Separation, though strong Canadian pride noted on these truckers. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I came on a chilly Tuesday missing the full convoy on the weekends (Saturday & Sunday being the best times). Even for those that are still here it’s nice seeing familiar “faces” (trucks) still holding the line. I’ve been following various streamers seeing familiar truckers and faces appearing. It’s awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without these truckers Canada would be royally fucked. No joke. The things the media and police have done to these poor truckers riles me up. Stealing their fuel, placing Nazi protester agents in their ranks, destroying their property on trucks, putting out fuel, and all these fear and intimidation tactics. It’s why I was wary of the police, and partially of the truckers. I was fearing the “no fun allowed” side of governmental Canada. That in itself feels like dictatorship pissing me off so much more. I shouldn’t be tip-towing around my own fucking city. Again, I thank the truckers for providing us our necessities while hauling other supplies to necessary places. You guys have my respect, as with the more normalized police officers, retail workers, doctors, etc. Basically anybody that pulls their weight in a workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBC, CTV, Ottawa Sun, Toronto Star, and Ottawa Citizen can go fuck themselves. Corrupted pile of trashes for attempting to turn these truckers into WW2 Nazi Germany villains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Heart warming. <3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Again, thank you! Even if I may have been silent darting around from place-to-place, you have my respect. I’m just as pissed off as you guys are wanting things to go back to normal. I’m constantly seeing people being paranoid as skittish rodents when it comes to these mandates. Thanks for having the balls to get the ball rolling, for protesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada (the sane part) has your back! \ud83d\ude42 My American friends also have your back, as well as my Canadian friend in Vancouver. And certain coworkers in my social circle. Others have been played by the media, I’m trying to rescue them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– All these heart warming messages. Without truckers we would be royally screwed. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Honk! Honk!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Trying to get both trucks in the same shot. Two truckers shoveling snow “because the city won’t do it”, or so I heard on a stream.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Oh? What’s this? Polish? Russian? I need a closer look…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Slightly “better” angle having all vehicles in shot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– I assumed Serbia, Google confirmed my assumptions. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not only do we have Polish pride, we also have Romanian and Serbia. Awesome! This on top of being Canadian, and French-Canadian all uniting as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“United we stand, divided we fall”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Thanks you o7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Again, I apologize for being silent. I was in a rush wanting to document everything. You have my respect. I did tell “you” I’m doing alright. Yeah, just trying to beat the time a little bit attempting to capture everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– I’ll always support freedom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Something I picked up on is the mood of the weather and the truckers. This probably relates to the situation at hand with Canada being in a moody state. Trying to be poetic, let me have this :P. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– “I’m a prisoner in my own country”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Exactly. That is how we ironically feel in a “free” country as Canada. I’m sure people shall gaslight claiming China & North Korea aren’t free, needing to be grateful for what we have. When you’re treated as sub-human when you don’t have a vaccine that’s where the issue spawns from. That’s why they’re here… Those who had health problems, died, lost their job, lost their housing, among other brutal complications. Everybody has a story to tell whether they realize it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know people who panic, who are trapped as non-vaxxed, are forced, etc. I’ve also known coworkers who recovered from Covid, or family members who have recovered on their side. People want to live as normal human beings, they’ve lost their dignity as with those who preach about getting the jab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Food, fuel? Don’t comply; End Mandate. Fuck Trudeau<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Certain people fail to realize truckers supply our demand of necessities. Without them we’re screwed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Glorious and free! O, Canada, stand on guard for thee! (like we had done in WW1 and WW2, Korean, etc and in general). Basically, how helpful people had helped the truckers while SJW morons stained themselves with the help of the police destroying their own image. Karma is a bitch in this situation hehe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Some people shall sleep while others shall hold the line. I want to push & hold the line. FREEDOM!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– o7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– “we the people have had enough!” – Truth (Only the SJWs are pissed off pretending everything is fine<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Clever. Woman dates, not mandates. That’s going to rile up gender-ists, I love it! HAHAHAHAHA!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Canadians are the best and honest when they’re pissed off. I LOVE IT! Don’t fuck with an angry Canadian. Not talking SJW angry, I’m talking about pure raw anger and frustration, that’s like a bull in a china shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Stop mandates! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Volvo’s have been one of my favourite trucks in American Truck Simulator. These trucks always tend to stand out. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Genuinely heart warming. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I spy some interesting pandants catching my attention after the fact. Ukraine, eh? I wish I could find Slovakia, Ukraine works. France, UK, USA, Netherlands, Italy. Nice! All those heartwarming messages shows we truly care about our truckers. Just not Trudeau, Watson, nor the media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Healthy people don’t need to quarantine. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– People have died from the Covid vaccine, gained complications, and even their humanity with or without it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Honk! Honk!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– End medical segregation! I agree. People simply want to work and live.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I agree with all this. Also, had a weird awkward moment with a cop staring at me and vice-versa. I looked away in partial frustration. If he was honest in his work he has my respect, I was half frustrated and half focused on trying to document everything as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Wellington Downtown Area:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curious as to what changed I immediately changed course for downtown Ottawa itself to where the main convoy is at. Having seen recent convoy happenings through War Campaign, Machines Everywhere, and other streams I was curious to see what was where. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– Trucks adjusting their parking spots. Probably having to be somewhere else, obtaining necessities, or whatever it may be. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– United we stand. Note the signed walls. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Canadian and American trucking love. Freedom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Strong and Free! Freedom Convoy 2022.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– “We should be all in this together! FREEDOM! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– The Great HOPE! Thanks you! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– “Thank you for being our David against the government’s Goliath! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Sherp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– We’re all in this together. Freedom for all, even Quebecers. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Big Bear’s Unity Cup (Street hockey).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Random shot. I believe I spy another Serbian flag. Interesting. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– “Let’s take back our freedom! Also, note the mailbox on the door mirror. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Canadian pride. (Just not a Trudeau pride)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Justin isn’t as innocent as he claims to be. Neither is Watson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– All Canadians are furious. Even if SJWs may claim these truckers are the “minority” I’m well aware the majority of the world is with these truckers. Truckers from nearly all the provinces showing up. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Freedom, dignity, and humanity. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Such amazing rigs. Such amazing passion for freedom and their own nationality. I also didn’t notice these people staring at me. Hi, I’m the resident shy guy. Nice to meet you o7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Loggers truck where they cut logs. Not in use today. A signed truck also seen in background on left side. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Even if this may be a weekday (Tuesday), this is still highly impressive. I’ve seen what it was when it first happened (through images), on Saturday (streams), and now have seen it with my own two eyes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Born free | I call my own shots. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Parental love. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hearing from truckers (from a livestream) how schools have secretly jabbed their students with the needle without parental permission. I’d believe it, Canada and all. I’ve had my fair share of corrupted teachers being drug addicts, ‘Binder war’ fanatical (lunch penalty), among other abusive behaviours. Teachers always assumed they were special showing off their BMW while telling us to keep it secret. Teachers also been known to take a lot of strikes while not teaching students, though that gets into its own nonsense. I’m just noting things in neutrality. I have my own fair share of frustrations, hearing kids being abused shouldn’t be one of them for anybody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
– I’m sure I could add more accomplishments, that would however take away from the message. The message stays the same how Canada needs to get back on track. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– An image taken for my American friend who loves his retro and classy cars. The unique vehicles. I was afraid this vehicle had left by the time I got there. I’m relieved to see its still there from ‘Machines Everywhere’ stream.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Recording everything and anything while being oblivious how the cold is effecting my phone’s battery. I also desired to view the convoy from that lookout, it appeared closed. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Justin, your mommy is looking for you. No more masks, mandates, etc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Why are you hiding US? Open the bridges now! | Our kids, our choice Trudeau.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– God Given Freedom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Hey! Media! I found your racist! | “These are the droids you’re looking for”. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Freedom for sale, eh? Peace must be obtained and respected; Carefully protected and cared for. Thank you truckers!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Hauling Freedom. Truckers also shoveling snow. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– Freedom and courage are more contagious than Covid. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– We the people will pass on your Scotia pass. Fighting back is now the new normal. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
– The harder they try the crazier they look! They have awoken a beast, and we call it CANADA! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Have to note a few things I observed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
