2nd night since @fordnation declared provincial state of emergency, 16th night of #ConvoyProtest in Ottawa. Smaller crowd than yesterday, but that may have had more to do w/ -24 C w/ windchill temp than augmented police presence. (Pictured: all police I saw on my walk) #cdnpoli
(these pix are not live-ish, I took them between 10:11 pm and when I got home--sorry folx, too cold to take pics and tweet 'em without freezing fingers).
To give you some sense of the crowd in front of the Peace Tower.

(1/3) As a journalist, I went to cover the #convoyprotest outside #Hamont city hall, with an open-mind. I went to interview people and hear their side. What I got was a slew of verbal harassment; I was called a 'c**t', was screamed at (2 inches from my face)...
(2/3)...I was taunted, jeered at, and was told I was a puppet for Trudeau. All I wanted, was to get their side. Out of about 200 people, one person, took the time to rationally and respectfully explain his stance.
(3/3) My question to all the haters of the 'mainstream media': how do you expect us to share your side when all you do is shout abhorrent expletives at us? To my colleagues around the country today covering this, please stay safe, and I hope you find kinder folk than I did today.
