I am surprised that this has not been mentioned...

From: https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/here-s-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-rolling-thunder-ottawa-biker-demonstration-1.5879516
Ottawa police and city officials continue to prepare for the "Rolling Thunder" event arriving in capital this weekend. More than 500 motorcycles are expected to take part in the demonstration, which will include events on Parliament Hill and at the National War Memorial.
...
The "Rolling Thunder Ottawa" website offers no information about the group, including the purpose for the event this weekend in Ottawa.

Supposedly they are there to complain about the "desecration" of the war memorial (i.e. the fencing the government put up around it after people from the "freedom convoy" earlier this year were seen dancing on the monument). Police have plans in place to limit access to streets around parliament in order to prevent the circus that occurred earlier this year.

So much of this smells funny...

- The sketchiness of the organizers by not providing a more full disclosure on their web site (I don't think people even knew what this protest was supposed to be about until recently)

- Several of the organizers of "Rolling Thunder" were involves with the "freedom convoy" (and we seen how well that worked out, what the protesters robbing and abusing residents in the area, and causing lots of disturbances)

- Their web site highlights a speech from Chris Sky, who has a track record involving various legal problems (including making threats), holocaust denial, and racist rhetoric. Yet the organizers claim they "have no connection" to him.... Um, then why are they publicizing his speech?
