I can’t say for certain until he shows up, but I’m hearing from organizers that Pierre Poilievre is supposed to be marching with us today.

We will see if he comes! I’ll let you know!

Protesters clash with police at the Canadian War Memorial
There’s a massive clash between police and protestors at the War Memorial. It’s unclear what caused it. One officer is seen running from the scene holding his had over his eye. pic.twitter.com/JdpZFjlssh

Canada Day outside Parliament Hill
Caught some dangerous looking folks with unacceptable views inciting fun on the streets.

One of the lineups to get onto Parliament Hill. There are several of these. Many seem content to remain in the street instead of entering. pic.twitter.com/k06BAPIMuk

More police arrive at the Hill as the crowds grow. March is departing from Wellington at 3:00. pic.twitter.com/rHFYo0Xu7y
