I dug out my trusty calculator and started ciphering. Given that the average truck is 50 feet in length, 50,000 trucks would stretch, bumper to bumper with no space in between them, from New York City to 60 miles short of Columbus Ohio. For us Canadians, that's from Windsor Ontario to just short of Cornwall. That 50,000 number is ridiculous.
However, the Trudeau and the press went with the "fringe group" rhetoric and people believed it. Then when they found out that it was MORE than a "fringe group", they got all upset and the stories of how someone died because ER workers couldn't get to the hospital on time, started up on Facebook. In other words, they downplayed it and didn't prepare for it. Had this been an BLM rally, they would have been gloating over the size of it. Trudeau wouldn't have airlifted out and he'd be standing on the podium, beneficently smiling at the crowds who obviously (sarcasm) love him.
Also, it was between 15 and 20 degrees below 0, in the Fahrenheit scale, in Ottawa. It's quite the turnout in that kind of cold.
