Freedom Convoy 2.0*Already Being Prepared For
Canadian 'Freedom Convoy' Vows to Stay in Ottawa as Tens of Thousands of Protesters Pledge to 'Create Chaos' Until Government Reverses Vaccine Mandates:
Vital US border route is blocked after Trudeau flees city and Elon Musk backs truckers
Tensions are high in the Canadian capital Ottawa on Sunday as truckers continue to blockade the city demanding an end to vaccine mandates for the drivers
Ottawa police said on Sunday said they were investigating reports of the desecration of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and attacks on police
Ottawa residents are furious at the disruption and angered by protesters flying swastikas through their city
Justin Trudeau and his family have left their Ottawa home amid security concerns late on Saturday night
Days earlier, he had called the truckers headed for the city a 'small fringe minority' before the convoy of hundreds of vehicles grew up to 45 miles long as it made its way to the capital .
Protestors could be seen carrying copies of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, while others carried signs reading 'God keep our land glorious and free,' 'Make Canada great again,' and 'we are here for our freedom'
The convoy set out from British Columbia last Sunday and was cheered by hundreds of Canadians as it made its 2,000-mile journey to protest vaccine mandates
Protesters say they are in it for the 'long haul' - 'We don't have a time limit' one of the organizers said

The chaos clogged the capital's downtown near parliament throughout the weekend and brought criticism from officials, including Ottawa's mayor who said residents were 'prisoners in their own home.'
But the demonstrators say they intend to stay and that their aim is to 'create chaos' and a 'logistics nightmare' for the Justin Trudeau's government.
Ottawa mayor would like protesters to move on, but organizers say they're not going anywhere
'Right now, yeah, it's really cold, but we hang in there, the days are going to get longer and we take this block party and put it into overdrive,' BJ Dichter, one of the organizers of the Freedom Convoy, said at a press conference. 'We're in this one for the long haul. We don't have a time limit.' ....
