Two weeks of protests in Canada’s capital over a cross-border vaccine mandate requiring truckers to be vaccinated upon crossing has produced dozens of investigations and numerous arrests — leading to a state of emergency declaration.
Efforts to stage similar protests in the U.S. are emerging, with the Department of Homeland Security issuing a memo warning police partners of demonstrations in the United States.
The demonstrations and protests reflect widespread pandemic fatigue around the world but have also stirred controversy.
Here are five takeaways on the protests.
Ottawa is under siege
The protests in Canada’s capital city led Ottawa mayor Jim Watson to declared a state of emergency on Sunday, reflecting the “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents.”

Can’t be stressed how untrue this is.
I’ve been glued to it. Ottawawalks. Zot. Zoke Viva. Uottawascotty. My heart is in ottawa.
The younger man on the left lags the middle but Quiggens
carries the majority of the speaking.
I have a relative who does. she thinks CNN is gospel truth.
Yeah, they are out there.
It’s the truckers who were attacked by gov. COVID thugs.
Let the truckers do their jobs and everyone and everything is better.
Sheesh
Trudeau is apparently an inept political wuss who doesn’t know how to handle anything deftly.
The Canadians are lovely people, every night is fun to watch.
There are so many interesting characters, a very happy place, wish I was there.

Of course it's untrue. I've been watching live feeds for days now out of Ottawa and this is the nicest group of people you will ever want to be around. Everybody cheerful, friendly, upbeat, and totally dedicated to their cause in a most peaceful and civil manner, despite the attempts by the government and their controlled media to demonize them.
Sort of like 99.99% of the crowd on Jan 6 in DC.
Yes. I’ve been watching hours a day since almost day 1.
How positive friendly and festive it is.
The crazy Mayor complained it was too festive and fun. Somehow he was offended.
You just can’t please some people...
He might have a point, the hugging WAS getting out of hand.
I think this: Ottawa is the capitol of canada; therefore the citizens are gov’t employee liberals. They are sissy and prissy like Trudeau.
These trucks come to town honking and partying and enjoying together with their children. It is obvious the truckers planned this out with tents for food, families, etc etc.
The sissy citizens so afraid hearing all the noise. Their children crying as they watch their parents so upset. I can understand their complaints of the honking 24/7 thus court order.
I don’t agree with the honking - it wasn’t necessary to do that through the night. They could have done it for a minute or so at noon, or something like that.
And I also don’t agree that every ‘gov’t employee’ is a ‘sissy priss’, in that country or any other.
I’d bet that a lot of them are out there dancing and enjoying the music tonight.
Lol. The hot tubs and bouncy houses ... the went into a tizzy.
That is too simple for a Totalitarian Freak like Trudeau.
He don’t want anything to “work”, he wants to tell everyone what they must do.
Totalitarian Evil.
The Hill is a leftist rag and I will never read thier propoganda.
Well, a good portion of BLM is composed of leftist woke white university kids. They’ll have a decend following in white Canada.
