Police have moved in to clear the occupation of Ottawa by the so-called "freedom" convoy, but what was it really like for residents living in and around the downtown area, and what do the far-right politics of the convoy's leadership mean for the future?

We spoke with Riley, an Ottawa resident who has lived through the occupation, Maple contributor Cassandra Kislenko, and Humber College professor Tyler Shipley.
