- Hey, chief.

- These people-- Canadians peacefully protest. These people are opposition-- controlled opposition. They are shooting fireworks into the crowds. They're being unruly. They are causing a ruckus and that is not what Canadians do.

That is not what they do. These people are liars. They are not a part of the Freedom Convoy.

- So you can see there's lots of emotion here and different points of view on it. Quite a police presence outside the restaurant, but it's the hotel here-- it's really just this one police officer so far.
