National Post: “A more confrontational stance by Ottawa police declared on Friday against a protest siege on Parliament mirrors the entrenchment by convoy protesters who say their occupation is growing.”

“The pivot in police strategy left many frustrated residents of Ottawa asking why it didn’t come sooner and researchers of political protests wondering if it has come too late. As for protesters preparing for an increased street presence this weekend, they have spent the week digging in, bolstering their organization and infrastructure.”
