Although the trucking convoy organizers wanted to demonstrate peacefully, others, after investigation, were caught up in anti-Semitic comments.

Some protesters reportedly called on social media to call for government impeachment.

Others wanted to turn the January 6 protest into a Canadian one, citing an attack on the capital.

Listen to an interview with Mario Bernick, retired captain of Surrey du Quebec and an expert on group movements:

Sergeant-at-Arms, who is responsible for the deputies’ defense, confirmed that online searches were conducted to find the home addresses of deputies in Gatino and Ottawa.

Encouraged to stay at their residences the following weekend.

Several police forces are on site: the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Parliamentary Protective Service, the Ontario Police, and the Ottawa Police.
