Kelowna’s Matthias Krohn would now be arrested and found for doing something he’s been doing the past 10 days at the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.
“I volunteered all last week to bring diesel to truckers to keep their trucks going,” said Krohn.
“And then I heard this morning that Ottawa police will arrest and fine anyone doing that. I’m disappointed in the actions of the police. It’s a peaceful demonstration and it shouldn’t be illegal to bring supplies to the truckers and protestors.”
The new police warning also extends to possible arrest and fine for anyone bringing items of any kind to demonstrators.

This recent police action is just the latest in a long list of how the tide is turning in Ottawa, according to Krohn.
“Both the first and second weekends of protests were amazing with lots of people and lots of positive energy,” he said.
“But the government and the police are bringing out their dirty tactics and making rules that don’t make sense, especially when it’s a peaceful demonstration.”
