- You guys are nothing but communists! Your beliefs, your motives all signs point towards communism. There is a reason why market economy is better. If I don't get involved I cant be blamed, but seems like I still can.
- The economy is utter rubbish! This country needs a new refresh! Listen to us, people are complaining!
- The talks in Ottawa quickly broke down. The delegation returned to Regina, having decided to disband the Trek. That day, Regina constables and RCMP squads moved into a rallying crowd of some 300 people to arrest Evans and other speakers, thus provoking the Regina Riot.
- The conflict raged back and forth on Regina streets. Trekkers assaulted police with rocks and clubs. Police fired guns into the crowd. The chaos ended by midnight, after the rioters had returned. Two people, including one city constable, were killed, hundreds of people, including rioters, constables and citizens were injured, 130 rioters were arrested; and tens of thousands of dollars of damage was done to the city. Four days later, the Saskatchewan government helped the marchers on their way. Most of them returned on passenger trains to Vancouver.
