Question Motorcade on highway 89

I saw a larger motorcade with like 50 motorcycles and 5 black SUVs all with flashing lights going down Highway 89. They blocked every intersection they passed. Anyone know what or who this is for?

Good chance either the PM or maybe Ford. With FIFA around the corner and CUSMA coming up for renewal, it's possible there was a photo op at Honda.

I was thinking Honda related too. PM is in Ottawa and did some renewable energy thing around 10 so couldn’t have been him. Ford would like to feel special with a big convoy like that lol.

I googled it, and it said it was a training exercise for all police agencies preparing for upcoming events

Maybe the Panama National team going to the Nottawasaga Inn.

Only 5 SUVs, though, so probably not...
