That link's image is quite a contrast to a few videos I have seen, such as these two:

There does seem to be a significant push to provide conflicting narratives...

The image is to illustrate the size of a group of people on foot vs in vehicles. There are plenty of protests on foot in Ottawa every year but they go largely unnoticed.

Here's a birds eye view of the protest for anyone trying to compute convoy length based the parents figure.

1. Don't involve too many non-locals; and
2. Don't involve vehicles (ie. everyone's on foot).
The protest has broadened into an anti-mandate message, but it's original purpose of "truckers driving to Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates" allowed for a much bigger (and noisier) turnout despite weak local support.
