00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Elie Cartain-Nantel here for True North in downtown Ottawa.
00:00:04.740 It's the second weekend of Convoy for Freedom protests.
00:00:08.500 And what I've noticed over the time I've been here is an incredibly large presence of Quebecers.
00:00:13.700 Now, those who have been following what's going on in Quebec,
00:00:16.400 they've had some of the harshest COVID-19 restrictions anywhere in the world,
00:00:20.600 including recently for the Omicron wave,
00:00:23.320 where they were subjected to a harsh police-enforced curfews
00:00:26.420 and lockdowns of restaurants and bars.
00:00:29.540 In fact, some businesses remain closed in the province right now
00:00:34.100 and don't even have a reopening date.
00:00:36.580 So I caught up with some French Canadians that are here today
00:00:39.060 to ask them why they were here and get their thoughts on some of the restrictions
00:00:42.960 that the Premier François Legault has imposed on them.
00:00:46.080 Nancy, where are you from?
00:00:47.440 Canis Atake.
00:00:48.780 And why did you decide to come here today?
00:00:51.440 For freedom, especially for our children,
00:00:53.560 to show them that we have to be free and to live among everyone and to be happy.
00:00:57.780 Well, it's good to hear that.
00:01:00.500 In your reserve, are the world, they are tannis?
00:01:04.400 Are the mandates and measures?
00:01:06.200 Is it a feeling that is felt by the majority?
00:01:09.800 I can't speak for them, really.
00:01:12.440 Except that we are holding on and we are going for the freedom,
00:01:15.080 the freedom of women also,
00:01:16.340 and the liberty of being well and to be happy as we want to live.
00:01:20.960 Sur the traditional media,
00:01:22.960 they say that it's a violent rassemblement.
00:01:25.600 Have you ever seen violence here in the weekend?

00:02:18.280 Why did you decide to do the voyage to come to Ottawa?
00:02:21.320 We made the voyage because I'm vaccinated three times, three doses.

00:02:55.900 In fact, we were in the
00:03:24.100 We don't talk about it.
00:03:25.340 Do you think the extreme extreme measures of Francois Legault
