Several Conservative MPs have made an appearance at the “Freedom Convoy” rally in Ottawa that began on Jan. 29 , giving their support to the truckers who oppose the federal COVID-19 mandates and restrictions, while others didn’t attend but said they back the effort.

“The truckers I’ve met today have been peaceful, kind and patriotic,” MP Pierre Poilievre wrote on Twitter on Jan. 29.
