A convoy of trucks arrived in Ottawa on Friday to protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers.

The "Freedom Convoy" departed British Columbia last Sunday, and it has raised more than 7 million Canadian dollars in GoFundMe donations en route, according to reports.

The footage filmed on January 28 is shot from one of the trucks and shows the cheering crowds lining the street on Parliament Hill to welcome the truckers.

Up until January 15, Canadian truck drivers were granted an exemption from vaccine requirements to cross the border into the US.

Now that privilege has expired, drivers that are not vaccinated face a 14-day quarantine when they return from the US. Only about 85% of the country's truckers have had their jabs.
