Summary

Nadia Mowood is at the whistle stop waiting to decide whether or not to leave the protest site. There have been reports of the RCMP regrouping about 10 minutes from the site of the protest, so I'm not sure what's about to happen here.

00:00:00.000 Hi everyone, it's Nadia Mowood. I am still at the whistle stop and I'm actually sitting in my car
00:00:07.120 right now trying to make a decision whether or not I stay to record what I think is about to
00:00:13.380 happen or if I leave. There's been a number of people leaving as there has been a number of
00:00:18.720 reports that the RCMP have buses, armored cars, and are regrouping apparently about 10 minutes
00:00:26.380 from the protest site. So I'm not sure what is about to happen here, but again, you know,
00:00:36.500 these are confirmed. It's a little unnerving, to be honest. You know, there's still people speaking,
00:00:46.420 there's still plenty of things going on. There are thousands of people here and it's very,
00:00:52.980 very busy, but we're going to see what happens. I guess I may stick it out a little while longer
00:00:58.300 and hopefully I might have something for you just a little bit sooner. Bye.
