A convoy of big trucks from Canada's oil producing regions rolled into the capital Tuesday as hundreds of people including "yellow vest" activists rallied in protest at government curbs on pipeline construction. Parked outside parliament, they honked horns and waved placards reading "Canadians need pipelines and good paying jobs," as they pressed for new regulations allowing the industry to expand."This country was built on natural resources," Ottawa area farmer and former politician Jack MacLaren told a cheering crowd.
