Ottawa is bracing for the upcoming weekend and the possibility of an influx of trucker convoy protesters as the demonstration enters another day in the nation’s capital.
Parts of Ottawa’s downtown core remain inaccessible to the public as a scaled-down, core group of protesters continue to occupy the areas surrounding Parliament Hill, with transport trucks and personal vehicles encamped on the streets.
Ottawa Police Service estimates the remaining group of protesters includes approximately 250 people.
In a statement issued Thursday, police said officers have issued 30 traffic tickets and charged one man criminally in relation to the protest.
“Police laid eight charges for unnecessary noise (honking horns), one for transporting dangerous goods (insecure fuel cans), one for improper muffler, four for disobeying signs, two for driving the wrong way in one way traffic, one unsafe lane change, one distracted driving, six speeding, one running a stop sign and five document offences,” the statement said.
One driver was charged for allegedly driving while criminally prohibited, and had their vehicle impounded for 45 days.
Deputy Chief Steve Bell said the remaining demonstrators were “highly volatile,” signalling a shift away from initial “demonstration-based activities.”
Residents of Ottawa fed up with the disruption have begun counter-protesting, aiming their frustration at the city, the police and the trucker convoy.

Fines and tickets will no longer dissuade people once the government has already taken their livelihood away. Push people until they have nothing left to lose, and they will start acting like people with nothing left to lose.

The police in Ottawa claim they may need to bring in about 50,000 solders to join the 1,500 officer police force and the convoy protesters have dwindled down to about 250 people with trucks.
Dailymail That's more than 200 people to 1 trucker. Like covid, it doesn't add up.
CTV is not the most reliable of Canadian news sources.
Government IS the law. Those who hold the reigns of power are similarly attributed. They gain the power of their office to BE the law. They carry out the policies of the bureaucrfacy, the true hidden government.
That should be tamped with something.
