A truck convoy protesting federal government policies was held Saturday in Estevan.
Discover Estevan reported more than 400 trucks were involved in the demonstration.
“We just want to, basically, let people know that we are here, we are fighting for our world and hopefully the government listens,” co-organizer Daryl Shirley said during an interview with the Roy Green Show.
The Estevan event was tied to Yellow Vest protests held in Canada this month against various federal policies, including the planned imposition of a carbon tax, moves to tighten environmental regulations and the Trudeau government’s decision to sign the United Nations’ Compact on Migration.
“It is all walks of life down in this area of the woods, and in Canada that is being affected by this lack of support from the higher-ups,” Shirley said.
The convoy started northeast of Estevan, then moved right through the heart of the city.
Estevan police thanked the public and the protesters for keeping things civil.
Appreciate the public’s patience during the truck convoy protest. Also appreciate the professionalism of those involved. Chief Ladouceur
