Rally in Ottawa Unlikely to Remain Isolated Event
Although further demonstrations of this scale will be rare, there have already been several smaller rallies supporting the Ottawa demonstration in other Canadian cities – most notably in Edmonton, which caused disruptions downtown, and a smaller one in Winnipeg. At least one key border crossing for US-Canada supply chains was also obstructed on the Canadian side. Furthermore, convoys organizing in Quebec and British Columbia caused extensive traffic towards Ottawa. While most of these incidents have subsided, limited disruptions are likely to continue in Canada.
Protests are likely to continue to occur not only in Ottawa but across the globe. After seeing the impact, intelligence and security teams can proactively create alerts to monitor for this specific movement across the globe.
