Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks said that “honk honk” is equivalent to “Heil Hitler,” while speaking at the House of Commons in defence of her government’s use of the Emergencies Act to oust protesters in Ottawa who oppose the federal COVID-19 mandates.
The protest, which first began in opposition to the vaccine mandate imposed on truck drivers crossing the Canada-U.S. border, expanded into a national movement as large convoys of truckers arrived in Ottawa in a peaceful demonstration starting Jan. 29, with many joining to call for an end to all COVID-19 mandates. Honking was heard constantly throughout the protest.
