I know there were a number of Freedom rallies today around the world, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on today's rally in Toronto.

Considering the weather (very cold, windy and cloudy), the crowd was huge. I believe there were many thousands of people in attendance. I couldn't get a more accurate feel for the crowd size since I was in the middle and I'm not that tall. This was definitely the largest rally I've attended so far. A drone was flying above so hopefully there will be a video.

There were a number of speakers and the crowd was pumped. There were also a lot of very creative signs. My favourite was "Shouldn't I be dead by now?"

After the rally, they announced that we would march through downtown, along Bloor, Yonge and Queen streets (the main streets in Toronto). I was encouraged by the number of cars stuck in traffic that were honking their horns and waving to us in support. The crowd stretched as far as I could see. I didn't make it back to the starting point as I was just too cold.

Overall, I was very impressed by the turnout and enthusiasm. The crowd was quite diverse and there were a lot of younger people there (20's and 30's). There were also a number of parents with their children. They will be able to tell their grandchildren how they took part in the 2022 protests. I sense a change in momentum. It's almost as if people have had enough and aren't going to take it anymore. I look forward to hearing how the other rallies went today.
