Dutch flags and placards reading “No Farmers, No Food” were raised alongside the maple leaf and symbols of the “freedom movement” as 150 to 200 people held a noisy, but peaceful rally that spilled onto the street outside the Embassy of the Netherlands on Saturday.
The group marched along downtown Ottawa streets to the National War Memorial, where they sang O Canada.
Then it was on to Parliament Hill, where they posed for a group picture with signs supporting Dutch farmers who are protesting their government’s plans to stem emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia. The farmers say it threatens their agricultural way of life and could put them out of business.
