Trucker convoy: People line bridges in Greater Toronto Area as trucks roll through

The trucker convoy that started in B.C. and picked up steam as it headed east towards Ottawa made its way through the Greater Toronto Area on Thursday.

The “Freedom convoy” is a protest against the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate that came into effect on Jan. 15, which requires unvaccinated or partially vaccinated truck drivers crossing the Canada-U.S. border to quarantine for 14 days.

People lined the sides of highways and gathered on bridges, with many waving Canadian flags in support of the truckers.

“It’s real Canadians who are supporting real Canadians,” said Gina, who came out to support the truckers and their message. “I do love them, these are hero truckers…they’re fighting for us,” she added.
