Probably my favourite piece that I've written so far. A very surprising Ottawa connection to the Korean women's cirling team. Read about how Melvin Lee reconnected the Garlic Girls to their coach Peter Gallant who is now with them at the 2022 Olympics!

The tow truck driver who relocated the shed told me he did it at the request of protest organizers, as a show of support.
But he ended up getting hundreds upon hundreds of death threats because of it.

It’s wild to think in the past month we’ve covered the peak of the Omicron wave, six dead in the deadliest industrial incident in Ottawa in decades and now this protest. All in January.

At the time, police said the demonstration had disrupted traffic and blocked an important route for emergency responders, causing "multiple safety issues."

But take the fall of 2020 for example. Police removed protesters and charged 12 people with mischief, all who were demonstrating in support of Black and Indigenous lives.
Demonstrators had been camped out at the intersection of Laurier Avenue and Nicholas Street for 3 days.

What's interesting here is how different Ottawa police have handled this protest vs. other ones.
Yes, there are trucks involved, and that changes the dynamics. Chief Sloly also talked about the possibility of weapons being brought by protesters so the focus is on de-escalation.
Apparently the term "peaceful" is relative: Ottawa police say handling of protests a success amidst growing criticisms | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ot… via @NicoleatCBC #OttNews

I'm not going to retweet the vile text chat a colleague was subjected to, as he was simply trying to set up an interview on the truckers' rally because it is so ugly. But we need to be able to cover and discuss this story without being subjected to threats.
