For a third consecutive day, there is a heavy police presence in downtown Ottawa, as officers are pushing to clear out the so-called “Freedom Convoy” blockade that has paralyzed the nation’s capital for the past three weeks.
On Sunday morning, officers were back at the protest site near Parliament Hill, where a convoy of protesters, many of them truckers, have been demonstrating against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures.
A total of 191 people have been arrested since Friday, 389 charges have been laid and 79 vehicles have been towed, according to police.
In a series of Tweets on Sunday, Ottawa police warned protesters they “will actively look to identify” them and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges.
