Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili responded to the trucker convoy coming back to Regina on Saturday.

“To those who want to share your views, share your views. But if you’ve got some idea going to copy the garbage, the invasion of Ottawa we’re seeing right now, to bring that to Regina – you’re going to threaten to occupy the people’s house and prevent the work of democracy – give your head a shake and stay the hell home, ”Meili said.
