The tension was absolutely palpable. I can only imagine that it was a little bit like what the protests were around The Vietnam War, where flowers were going in the ends of rifle barrels and you know you would see.
Ever wondered what really happened during the final days of the Ottawa protest? In this gripping episode, Trish Wood takes you behind the scenes with a volunteer who experienced it all firsthand. The Emergencies Act may have been lifted and bank accounts unfrozen, but the echoes of those tense weeks linger on. Many involved in the protests have been left in a state of uneasy silence, too intimidated to speak out.
Our guest, however, offers a rare glimpse into the heart of the action and shares how the experience has changed them forever. From the palpable tension between police and protesters to unexpected moments of communication—like protesters shouting 'we love you' to officers—this episode captures it all.
You'll hear about the dreams of a peaceful resolution that never materialized and the heavy questions protesters posed to law enforcement, such as 'what are you going to tell your kids when you go home tonight about what you did here?'. It's a raw, unfiltered look at a pivotal moment in recent history, shedding light on the complexities and human stories behind the headlines.
Whether you're curious about the protest's impact or just looking for an engaging listen, this episode has something for everyone.
