On Friday evening, local and federal authorities in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada used tear-gas and horses to break up the ongoing Freedom Convoy, a massive demonstration against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#8217;s COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.
In doing so, authorities appeared to trample one elderly woman using a walker as well as running over other protesters with horses. Numerous others were tear-gassed. Around the world, individuals reacted with disgust to the &#8220;tyranny&#8221; on display in the Western nation.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-ottawa-police-use-pepper-spray-clubs-horses-against-freedom-convoy-protesters">reported</a> Friday that the authorities&#8217; aggressive push to clear Ottawa of the truckers started Friday afternoon, but by dusk had turned violent:
<blockquote>Police began making arrests and towing vehicles. Several hours into the sweep, police have arrested at least 70 protesters and removed over 20 vehicles, according to the <a href="https://twitter.com/OttawaPolice/status/1494777102608052228">Ottawa Police Department</a>. Later in the afternoon, police broke out heavy crowd control tactics such as horses, clubs, and tear gas to push the protesters back.</blockquote>
Several of those instances were caught on camera.
&#8220;Remember this image. Remember what Trudeau did to Canada,&#8221; internet commentator Ian Miles Cheong tweeted, reportedly showing a picture of two protesters, one next to a walking device, knocked to the ground by law enforcement&#8217;s horses.

Video obtained by Cheong appeared to confirm that event. &#8220;Trudeau is stamping out freedom. One trampled protester at a time,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Remember Ottawa.&#8221;

Ottawa authorities denied that they trampled anybody, but rather that a horse was spooked by a bicycle.
&#8220;We hear your concern for people on the ground after the horses dispersed a crowd,&#8221; Ottawa police tweeted. &#8220;Anyone who fell got up and walked away. We&#8217;re unaware of any injuries. A bicycle was thrown at the horse further down the line and caused the horse to trip. The horse was uninjured.&#8221;
As Rebel News&#8217; Ezra Levant pointed out, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any video backing that up, and the police likely confused — or willfully lied about, as Levant says — the elderly woman&#8217;s walking device.
&#8220;You&#8217;re liars. You said someone threw a bike at a horse. That&#8217;s a lie. It wasn&#8217;t a bike, your horse stomped on a woman with a mobility scooter,&#8221; Levant responded. &#8220;You didn&#8217;t disperse a crowd. You charged a group of unarmed civilians.&#8221;
&#8220;You belong in prison. You dirty, corrupt Trudeau thugs,&#8221; he added.

Cheong also claimed the police were not telling the truth about the event, and had even more evidence to back up his assertions:
Ottawa Police lied. This was the elderly woman trampled by the horses. <a href="https://t.co/FGmPoSj9F9">pic.twitter.com/FGmPoSj9F9</a>

In response to the mayhem, there were dozens, if not hundreds, of calls for Trudeau to resign.
&#8220;Trudeau must resign,&#8221; Human Events and TPUSA personality Jack Posobiec tweeted, amassing nearly 38,000 likes and hundreds of retweets:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Conservative commentator Benny Johnson also predicted that Trudeau will resign.
&#8220;What happened today in Canada was worse than Hong Kong or Ukraine,&#8221; Johnson claimed.. &#8220;A Western, English-speaking nation turning weapons of war peaceful protesters. Trampling their skulls. Today The Regime broke. They will not survive this. Canada will never be the same. Justin Trudeau will resign.&#8221;

Across the globe in India, Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, National Secretary for the Bharatiya Janata Party Youth, the world&#8217;s largest youth political organization, also expressed his horror at the images.
&#8220;I am not able to eat anything from last 24 hours after watching this video. how can @JustinTrudeauattack his own country people. Justin Converted beautiful Canada into Banana Republic #TrudeauDictatorshipMustGo,&#8221; he tweeted on Saturday.
