The "Freedom Convoy" is a "nationwide insurrection," the chair of Ottawa's police board said.
Protestors have let off fireworks, blocked roads, and desecrated a war memorial.
Protests have erupted in other Canadian cities, too, including Toronto and Hamilton.
The disruption that erupted in Ottawa after people gathered to protest Canada's vaccine mandate for truckers has become a "nationwide insurrection," the chair of the city's police board said.
The protestors are "terrorizing" and "threatening" the city's residents, Councillor Diane Deans said Saturday at an emergency meeting of the board.
"Our city is under siege," she said.
Canadian truckers first gathered January 28 in Ottawa for a so-called "Freedom Convoy" protest against the country's vaccine mandate. Since January 15, Canada has required US truckers to present proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 to cross the border. Unvaccinated Canadian truckers who drive to the US have to quarantine and get tested on their return. The US imposed a similar mandate on January 22.
But the Ottawa protest has snowballed into a much broader demonstration, attracting people who want to vent their opposition to Canadian government measures to tackle the pandemic, which they see as government overreach.
Protestors have let off fireworks and blocked roads, while police said they have opened a criminal investigation after a war memorial was desecrated during the protests. Some drivers have driven on the wrong side of the road, on the sidewalk, and through no-truck routes, leading to the city's police issuing hundreds of tickets.

Tell him it’s “occupy wall street” for normal people.
Naaah. It’s a General Strike. A lefty technique from the early 20th century. Except since its being done by conservatives it’s polite, well mannered, and viciously efficient.
My advice to the government is to give in soon, or plan getting very hungry.
Last night another soldier, last night another child
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry
Can you see that smart, clean soldier
Standing straight and oh so proud
He wants to fight for Queen and country
He wants to make his family proud
A job with the future, his way to get out of it
It’s his sense of romance, it never ends that way
Last night another soldier, last night another child
No one seems to worry, no one sees his mother cry
They’re just facts and figures on your TV screen
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream
In the country strange and foreign all the people resent him
He can’t cope with his problems, all the fears and hatred
Now he wish he never went he wish he never thought of it
It’s not the same as fighting armies looking for the terrorists
They’re just facts and figures on your TV screen
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream
Can you hear the mocking laughter from the ones that gain by it
They’re not in line for the bullets, they’re the ones who started it
They’re just facts and figures on your TV screen
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream
Last night another soldier, last night another child
Just a number in the papers, another one of the innocent
They’re just facts and figures on your TV screen
Another child and another soldier, is peace just a dream
Last night another soldier
Canada has now taken the epicenter of western cultures push for freedom.
The United States and its “patriots” should be extremely embarrassed by this.
Canada is the future of western culture
So???
Diane…, you are full of propaganda! Nobody trusts you !
The people of the world, right now, have a moral obligation to put a stop to them, and then to exact a punishment severe enough to ensure that no one as evil as they are ever tries something like this in the future.
It's time to say "Never Again" again.
“The dictators sure like the word “insurrection.” What will they say next about the peasants?:
- - - - - - - -
“The peasants are revolting!”
“Yes, and they smell bad, too!”
Agree.....it’s definitely time to say Never Again, again.
Many have forgotten, or, don’t even know, to begin with, because they/TPTB dumbed down our education system, on purpose, for exactly a time such as this.

Tuff to call it a majority of Canadians when 88% of eligible Canadians have taken at least one shot and 82% have taken two thats for age 5 and older total. The percentages pd 18+ are even higher since 5 to 11 is only 54% that means the adult percentage is.much higher to carry the overall total to above 85%. Why would people who are already vaxed care deeply about a small number of a small working group who don’t have the vax? Truckers in Canada as a group are over 90% double vaxed themselves thats right from the Canadian DOT themselves.

From people who actually are Canadians living in Ottawa they seem right pissed hundreds of thousands of videos, pics, and angry tweets from actual Canadians don’t paint a picture of they are standing arm and arm with those truckers.
“Karen” has kinda been an American homecoming queen. Can I suggest, our good friends to the north coin something like, “Diane”?
That “desecration” (some idiots climbed up on it and were dancing) of the war memorial was shut down immediately by the truckers. And the “defiling of Terry Fox’s statue” was draping a flag over his shoulders, placing a staff with an inverted flag in his hands, and putting a “Mandate Freedom” sign on his chest.
Really hardcore vandalism there, eh?
I am embarrassed
They are throwing aroudn the word insurrection far too freely- there are no weapons or hostile takeovers anywhere in ottowa- only blockades- peaceful temporary blockades- done in protest- The scum on the left are bastardizing words to fitr the narrative- and are trying to make the truckers out to be dangerous felons and criminals- which they are not- not by a long shot- neither were the jan 6 protestors!
“Tell him it’s “occupy wall street” for normal people.”
Or tell them only “Blackface Lives Matter”.

In the words of Walter White, “maybe your best course, you be to tread lightly”.
Pretty weak "desecration."

You can now get two years in prison for honking in the downtown area judge sided with the plaintiff injunction until Feb 16. In Canada contempt charges carry more penalty than noise ordinance.
