Ottawa Declares Emergency After Protests Spin ‘Out of Control’

Canada’s capital city remained under a state of emergency Monday as police tried to rein in protests against vaccine mandates and Covid-19 restrictions.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who declared the emergency, said that increasingly rowdy demonstrations posed a “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents.” Hundreds of trucks continue to occupy the downtown area near Canada’s parliament with no sign that the protesters plan to leave.

Lies. Even so, all you have to do is rescind the mandates and this protest goes away.
