===== Media =====

==== Legacy Media Coverage ====

The legacy media published a wide variety of false and misleading claims about the Freedom Convoy, its stated intentions and its associates.

A February 6, 2022 poll published by the [[Toronto Star]] showed out of 106,448 total votes, 98,348 people (92.39%) expressed disapproval with Ottawa mayor [[Jim Watson]] declaring a state of emergency in response to the protests in front of Parliament, with respondents citing the truckers' and their supporters' right to protest.((Star Staff.

===== Government Response =====

==== Emergency Act ====

On February 18, 2022, during a standoff with police, a group of horse-mounted officers charged up to the crowd of protestors. In a sequence of events captured on a [[Druthers]] livestream, two people were trampled by the horses.((Chief Nerd.
