The demonstration against the hike in Trudeau's inflationary tax on everything began April 1, as the Liberals so-called "price on pollution" jumped from $65 per tonne to $80 per tonne.

Protests all across the country began April 1 with a handful, including one west of Calgary maintaining a constant presence.

The protest in Lloydminster on private land on the Saskatchewan side of the border city has been entirely peaceful although there were some tense interactions with local RCMP early on.

Some demonstrators are staying full time at the encampment, however most are coming and going throughout the week.

Protesters told Rebel News they vow to stay "as long as it takes" to make Prime Minister Justin Trudeau listen to their concerns; they cannot afford a tax.
