A nearly three-week protest in Ottawa over mandated Covid-19 precautions in Canada may be approaching its end as police tell demonstrators to either leave immediately or face legal consequences.
"You must leave the area now," the Ottawa Police Service said in a statement to protesters Wednesday."Anyone blocking streets or assisting others in the blocking streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested."Many demonstrators have vowed to hold out for as long as necessary, and the federal government has moved to enact emergency powers to freeze financial support of the protests despite opposition in Parliament.
It can also provide for the use of the military, but Trudeau has said this would not be necessary.To invoke powers under the Emergencies Act, the government must propose a motion in the House and Senate explaining why federal officials need the powers and specifying what actions will be taken, then both the House and Senate must confirm the motions, according to CTV.
