A small group of Ottawa residents marked a flashpoint moment during the 2022 'Freedom Convoy' protest on Sunday.
Dubbed the"Battle of Billings Bridge", the counter-protest on Feb. 13, 2022 saw hundreds of residents turn out at the corner of Bank Street and Riverside Driveto join the larger convoy protest on Parliament Hill and surrounding streets.

We had had enough. We had enough of the hot tubs and the inaction of our city officials and that regular people took action. They did it peacefully but with determination.
"At this spot on February 13, 2022, everyday citizens and Ram Ranch Resistance members peacefully stood in the way of those who had trampled citizens’ right to peace, free movement and free expression," the plaque read,"This plaque commemorates the ordinary people who did something extraordinary when their leaders would not."
"The fact that it got torn down so quickly makes it very clear that it hit a major nerve," he said."I’ve talked to councillors and MPPs, we know the city didn’t take it down.""On this spot there was a plaque that the City of Ottawa says it didn't take down," the message reads."So I'll just speculate that a Cancel Culture Warrior / Free Speechifier / 'Freedom Fighter' who is opposed to policing language did.
