Toronto’s downtown core is once again bracing itself for another truck convoy protest this weekend, following circulation of a social media video from one of its organizers.

Chris Barber, a co-organizer of the Ottawa truck convoy, said on Tik Tok that he expects the protests to return to Toronto this week.

"I don't think Toronto's quite had enough entertainment for this and Ottawa is getting a little sticky on their law enforcement, so tomorrow we'll pull up stake and go to Toronto," Barber said in the short video.

As Ottawa police continue to monitor the protesters downtown, more areas across Canada are seeing their own blockades and protests against Canada's vaccinate mandates.

To prepare for the potential truck convoy, Toronto police continue to install barriers along University Avenue and Avenue Road around Queen’s Park.

Last weekend, protesters in support of the Ottawa convoy diverged towards Queen’s Park and its surrounding streets. The protests lasted one day, with police peacefully moving the protesters and their vehicles out of the area by the evening hours.

Toronto Mayor John Tory wrote in a Twitter post that he will be in constant communication with Police Chief James Ramer on ensuring the possible protests are peaceful and that residents are kept safe.

"Respectful protests are an important part of the Canadian way of life," the post reads. "But they must also be viewed alongside the rights of other residents and businesses to go about their lives peacefully and safely."

Tory reiteriates his statements last week, writing that "one group's rights exercised in a way that rolls ove the rights of others."

On Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford issued a state of emergency in the province due to the protests.

In addition to Ottawa, the Ambassador Bridge that connects Canada and the US at Windsor continues to be blockaded. The City of Windsor is in court seeking an injunction declaring the blockade as illegal.

"We are now two weeks into the siege of the city of Ottawa. I call it a siege because that is what it is. It’s an illegal occupation," Ford said.“This is no longer a protest. With a protest, you peacefully make your point and you go back home."

Penalties and fines for protesters in the blockades as well, with fines up to $100,000 and up to one year of jailtime. Online funding for the convoy have also been blocked as well by Ontario courts, including several GoFundMe pages.

Last week, Ford said on a Hamilton radio station that it is time for the protesters to "let residents get back to their lives."

This week, Ottawa police said anyone trying to provide fuel for the protesters would be fined, however a surge in protests is expected this Saturday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is continuing to have discussions with the US about the blockades affecting trade between the nations, said Ford’s state of emergency announcement was “responsible and necessary.”

More to come.
