Here’s the view of the illegal base camp at Ottawa’s baseball stadium, which appears to be growing – easily 100 vehicles.
One protester told me a “rich man from Ottawa” dropped off 3 months worth of food (they didn’t know his name, just that he “owns a lot of land”).

They’re storing all their food and supplies in these tents.
They described it as kind of like a potluck, where people bring over whatever they can. But they said there are growing fears in the camp donated food could contain “poison.”
The saunas are next to the tent.

Deleted a tweet in this thread because I think it came across differently than intended, so I’ll try rephrasing it this way:
