Western Standard - LIVE： Calgary rally

00:00:00.000 in calgary i'm cory morgan i just want to give an update to people you know we're watching

00:00:04.740 ottawa we're focused on what's going on there but we want to remind people these rallies and

00:00:09.520 protests are going on all around the country you can see we've got well over a thousand people

00:00:14.340 behind me people are still pouring into this park downtown in calgary right now even if even if

00:00:20.700 things get cleared out in ottawa we can see this is far from done this is not over people are

00:00:25.540 pushing back they're rallying these are going to be happening as far as i could tell and talking

00:00:29.160 to organizers every weekend as the weather gets better as people get more frustrated this is going

00:00:34.720 to keep going justin trudeau can bring in whatever he likes his acts his war measures acts his a

00:00:41.160 version of it it doesn't matter people are going to keep coming out shutting down ottawa is just

00:00:47.160 scattering it i've talked to others i guess there's a rally that got going in drum heller today

00:00:51.160 it sounds like uh people are moving up to edmonton to the legislature today i imagine there's rallies

00:00:56.040 across the country. There was another one at Chilliwack this morning I saw was getting going.

00:01:00.560 The atmosphere is just excellent. There's a lot of police presence there around the outside. There

00:01:05.740 are some horses here, which even kind of surprised me considering how badly that went yesterday in

00:01:10.640 Ottawa as the horses came in and trampled peaceful protesters. There's been no tension between the

00:01:15.740 police and the people here at all, though. Of course, there's not a blockage. This isn't an

00:01:19.520 illegal demonstration yet anyways a lot of families children dogs it's a a good attitude

00:01:27.180 it's not like the one i saw a couple weeks ago though people are still optimistic they're peaceful

00:01:32.240 but there's more anger here this time there's there definitely is people are upset they're not

00:01:37.620 happy with what's been going on in ottawa but uh or in canada in general i mean that's the thing

00:01:44.000 not everybody can get out there but these protests are spreading and and uh it's just great to see

00:01:49.000 people aren't letting go they're not giving up and more and more pouring in as i speak right now

00:01:54.920 uh they're going to be marching around the city in a little while i don't see how this would go

00:02:00.280 poorly at all you know i mean again people saying protests could get out of control or not peaceful

00:02:04.440 well ottawa's uh going differently right now the only way this would go badly was if the police

00:02:09.560 tried to get into anybody's face and they have to their credit been polite so far though standoffish

00:02:14.280 not as jovial as they have been in other protests I've seen.

00:02:18.880 By the way, lots of honking, lots of people, lots of speeches going on.

00:02:22.680 Thousands, I would say, at this point of Calgarians down here,

00:02:26.020 and they're going to start marching soon.

00:02:28.160 We're going to interview some more people.

00:02:29.980 We'll have stuff coming up.

00:02:31.260 And if anything breaks out, we'll go live with it as we go.

00:02:34.640 And look forward to the coverage interviews and pictures in the days to come

00:02:38.920 as these protests keep unfolding.

00:02:40.700 So thanks for tuning in and we will talk to you all later and I'll have the show going live on Tuesday
