After Trudeau’s panicked statement about impending reprisals, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) asked truckers at the Milk River protest site in Alberta to get out by 13:00, otherwise they would face the consequences. The deadline has come and gone, absolutely no one has moved. A few hours later, when a sudden barrage of officers arrived to attack the group, the members of the convoy gathered together and joined hands, lining up around the trucks behind them. After a while, people started singing “Lean on Me” to strengthen their unity: “Rely on me, If there is no strength, and I will be your friend, I’ll help you continue.” All the officers could do was start issuing traffic fines for every vehicle parked along the highway.
