00:00:26.000 Hey, it's Rachel Emanuel here with the Western Standard.
00:00:33.000 I'm here at Calgary City Hall where freedom protesters have arrived.
00:00:36.440 We just heard from some speakers.
00:00:38.000 They largely talked about the need to get rid of federal vaccine mandates as well as Premier
00:00:41.800 Jason Kenney.
00:00:42.800 Now we're going to head on over for a walk down to the courthouse.
00:00:56.000 oh
00:01:23.200 oh
00:01:26.000 so what happened is this lady here was honking her horn in support of the convoy 0.64
00:01:51.800 and then the police cruiser came up
00:01:53.380 and flashed its lights
00:01:54.300 so it looks like he's about to pull her over.
00:01:56.860 Come on.
00:01:59.880 What a shame!
00:02:03.960 Shame on you! 1.00
00:02:07.500 Yeah, sure enough.
00:02:09.100 Officer's asking her for her license and registrations
00:02:11.220 from the look of things.
00:02:13.180 I assume she'll probably be getting a ticket.
00:02:15.860 You guys are ending on the wrong side of history here, Ben!
00:02:19.980 Shame on you! 1.00
00:02:21.800 Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.

00:03:06.040 Not yet.
00:03:06.420 Not yet.
00:03:06.780 Did he take your license and stuff?
00:03:08.060 He did.
00:03:08.280 But I will find it in court.
00:03:09.720 It won't hold up.
00:03:11.060 I'm not worried about it, okay?
00:03:12.320 I don't want more cops here.
00:03:14.240 Negative experience roared.
00:03:16.520 Sorry this had to happen to you.

00:05:33.760 You think you're making this better?
00:05:40.760 Go ahead, dream of arresting me, I've been arresting you
00:05:48.760 You are going to be ridiculous
00:05:54.760 Why did you become a police officer?
00:05:56.760 What?
00:05:57.760 You're going to be ridiculous
00:05:59.760 To protect the people that need to protect it
00:06:01.760 I'm going to meet Corby.
00:06:04.600 I'm going to meet Corby.
00:06:07.240 We're helping him do his job.
00:06:08.500 We're going to meet Corby.
00:06:09.100 We're helping him do his job.
00:06:10.380 We're going to make sure that he's safe.
00:06:11.960 That's it.
00:06:15.100 I'm just going to let you know if you can.
00:06:17.680 This is our next time.
00:06:19.460 I told you that's the reason.
00:06:20.340 Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! 0.99
00:06:31.760 Chick! Chick! Chick! Chick! Chick! 1.00

00:06:43.260 $81
00:06:55.760 Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! 0.99
00:06:59.760 so that was rebecca she told me she just got a ticket for 81 but she seemed pretty calm about
00:07:10.680 the situation she plans to find it in court however officers also told her that the second
00:07:15.640 time you get a ticket you apparently go to jail so she seems a little nervous about that hey guys
00:07:19.860 so we've made it to the harley hodgkiss gardens this is where the protest sort of wrapped up and
00:07:23.820 finished it was largely uneventful unusual protesters with demonstrators walking through
00:07:28.200 the streets, yelling freedom and other such things, waving their signs in support of their
00:07:31.980 cause.
00:07:32.980 However, we did see one woman get ticketed for actually honking in support of the protest.
00:07:37.320 She told me her name was Rebecca.
00:07:38.540 She told me she was fined $81, however, she plans to fight the fine in court.
00:07:42.980 And we've heard other unconfirmed reports of some individuals being arrested for playing
00:07:47.100 music here during the protest.
00:07:48.840 So protesters are now heading back to City Hall, where we started, and we're going to
00:07:52.420 wrap things up for today.
00:07:53.680 Thanks very much for tuning in again.
00:07:55.160 This is Rachel Emanuel with the Western Standard reporting from Calgary.
00:07:58.200 Thank you.
