Ottawa residents describe fears amid unprecedented trucker protests as Canada’s far right comes into focus.
When Justin Romanov fled to Canada from Russia nearly a decade ago, he found a haven. As a refugee who had been repeatedly beaten by police in Moscow for protesting for LGBTQ rights, he felt safe enough to build a life — finding a partner and buying a house just outside Ottawa.unprecedented demonstration in the country’s capital
A woman puts Canadian and French flags on her car before the start of a "Freedom Convoy" in Nice, France, on Feb. 9, 2022., it quickly became a rallying point against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government and coronavirus regulations across the country. Since being accosted, she said she has been afraid to leave her home after dark and refuses to go out after dark alone."It's not safe. It's really very scary," she said.Another Ottawa resident, Matias Muñoz, said an incident he believes was related to the demonstration could have cost him and others their lives.
One sentiment that all three residents shared was that the demonstration does not feel representative of the Canada they know. Speaking in a phone interview on Wednesday, Tim Coderre, a volunteer coordinator of the convoy, said that while there may be"isolated pockets of people who are randomly doing things on their own," those people did not represent the overall movement.

"We know that the residents of Ottawa are angry, we know that you are tired," Sloly said during a press briefing."We know that you want your neighborhoods back. You have suffered and we will ensure those responsible face consequences." Trudeau has denounced protesters' tactics, saying the chaos “has to stop” during an emergency debate in Parliament on Monday night.seeking a court injunction to end a blockade
