If you didn’t see them stretched out across a 10-kilometre stretch of Regina roads, you may have heard the horns.

Hundreds of protesters from around Saskatchewan and further afield converged on Regina for an anti-carbon tax convoy and rally in the city today.

The rally is protesting the Trudeau carbon tax, Bill C-69, Bill C-48, and advocating for pipelines. Premier Scott Moe, who is to address the crowd around 2 p.m., is in attendance, along with former agriculture minister Lyle Stewart. One young man in the Evraz Place parking lot told Moe, “I’d like to personally thank you for standing up for Saskatchewan.”

By 1:30 p.m. attendees were packing the hall at Queensbury Centre where the speeches will take place.

Moe began his speech by greeting attendees with “Good afternoon to the largest truck convoy in the history of the world.”

The premier then took aim at NDP Leader Ryan Meili who for weeks has pushed Moe to distance himself from the yellow vest movement, saying its worst elements promote anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim and anti-immigration bigotry.
