“Freedom convoy” protesters demonstrated in parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Thursday, as groups continue to head to Ottawa ahead of a protest this week against COVID-related mandates.

Demonstrators gathered throughout parts of the GTA with some groups on top of overpasses in anticipation of convoys moving through.

Organizers of the protest describe the Canadian government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers to avoid quarantine as an example of political overreach resulting in economic harm, arguing the policy hurts small businesses and denies some workers the means to survive.
