The Rolling Thunder organizers have not been clear about the rally’s objective, aside from an intention to ‘peacefully celebrate our freedom’
Ottawa is preparing for the arrival of a massive motorcycle rally this weekend, stirring up fear among residents and city councillors that the downtown core could again be subjected to the harassment and noise that disrupted the capital during the trucker convoy protest earlier this year.
“I want to be clear with both organizers and participants: You will be held accountable for your actions before, during and after events,” Chief Bell said. “People are nervous, but they’re also fed up, and residents that I’m hearing from are not going to take any incursion into their neighbourhoods by white supremacist, racist, extreme groups,” Catherine McKenney, a city councillor for a downtown ward, said during Wednesday’s council meeting.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said on Wednesday that the convoy demonstrations of the winter remain fresh in the minds of many Ottawa residents and “we certainly do not want a repeat of the illegal occupation.”
