Convoy organizer says plans to stage a 2023 protest in Winnipeg are offOTTAWA — Freedom Convoy 2.0 appears to be a bust. After police in Ottawa indicated they would have zero tolerance for such an event, Bauder said he would move it to Winnipeg instead. In the weeks leading up to the first protest in Ottawa, Bauder penned a "memorandum of understanding" and tried to deliver it to Gov. As the events unfolded in Ottawa, Bauder did not appear to be among the main organizers or leaders. The city of Ottawa reported the policing and city services costs due to the convoy event topped $52 million.
