After a large-scale protest opposing Covid vaccine mandates converged on Parliament Hill, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family left their house in the country's capital and relocated to a secret location, claimed media sources on Saturday. The 'Freedom Convoy,' which began as a protest against a vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers, has turned into a major protest against the Trudeau government's coronavirus restrictions. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, tens of thousands of truckers and other protesters gathered in Ottawa on Saturday to demand an end to Covid-19 vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions.
