Canadian Police Arrest Convoy Organizers

“Police have arrested two organizers of a three-week protest against pandemic restrictions and set up a perimeter around downtown Ottawa with almost 100 checkpoints to try to bring an end to the blockade, warning demonstrators who remained that ‘action is imminent,’” the Globe and Mail reports.

“Despite the warnings, many protesters continued to defy demands that they leave the country’s capital.”

CBC: “Interim Ottawa police Chief Steve Bell issued a stark warning to protesters saying officers are ready to end what he calls the illegal occupation of Ottawa’s downtown core that has lasted three weeks.”
