United We Roll convoy hits the road to Ottawa
RED DEER — Over 150 vehicles left Red Deer for Ottawa Thursday morning in their bid to gain support for the oil and gas industry from the federal government.
The United We Roll, Official Convoy for Canada left Edgar Industrial Park, headed for Parliament Hill with hundreds more expected to join the convoy along the way over the next few days.
Organizer Glenn Carritt says people from all four western provinces are taking part.
“We’re just not happy with the current government. The current government has such a disconnect with the Canadian people and we need to get our pipelines in the ground and we need to get them in immediately,” he says.
