@jayrunham As are we in the media, so I completely sympathize with you. Unfortunately as someone who spent the day observing, that is EXACTLY what the atmosphere was like for those taking part. No one’s trying to say that’s a good thing.

[Alicia Asquith @AAsquithCBC]

It’s a kind of parade atmosphere as thousands of protestors now line 109 street in downtown #yeg waving at truck convoys protesting health mandates. Horns are constant. #cbc

[Amarjeet Sohi @AmarjeetSohiYEG]

Stay safe, Edmonton. We will get through this. #YEG #YEGcc

[Alicia Asquith @AAsquithCBC]

@RyanTHumphrey First, not ‘my’ parade Ryan. Second, as journalists our job is to observe and cover events that effect the lives of residents in this city even if we don’t agree with what is being said or done. That’s news.

[Alicia Asquith @AAsquithCBC]

Hundreds of protestors listen to speeches against health mandates in federal plaza outside the #AB legislature as truck convoys circle #yeg city streets blaring horns. #cbc
