First day of emergency and no change is visible to the eye. Folks still coming in, some with their kids, see a few masked folks venturing into the protest, people dancing, cops pretty laid back, etc. A normal day under emergency in Ottawa.

I asked one protestor what she made of Trudeau characterizing the protests as not peaceful. She said why would parents bring kids to something that is not peaceful?

Nearly three weeks into the protest, it’s striking how food and other necessities are freely available. There’s hot dogs, hamburgers,soups, freshly cut and fried French fries, scrambled eggs, sausages, fruit, deodorant, sanitary pads, etc. You can even get your hair cut! 🙂

So I asked the barber if he was giving his client a "fringe hair cut". 🤣🤦‍♀️

*I'll let myself out now* 😬

Some photos from yesterday and today.
