OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Police arrested scores of demonstrators and towed away vehicles Friday in Canada’s besieged capital, and a stream of trucks started leaving under the pressure, raising authorities’ hopes for an end to the three-week protest against the country’s COVID-19 restrictions.
By evening, at least 100 people had been arrested, mostly on mischief charges, and nearly two dozen vehicles had been towed, including all of those blocking one of the city’s major streets, authorities said. One officer had a minor injury, but no protesters were hurt, interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell said.
Police “continue to push forward to take control of our streets,” he said, adding: “We will work day and night until this is completed.”
Those arrested included four protest leaders. One received bail while the others remained jailed.
The crackdown on the self-styled Freedom Convoy began in the morning, when hundreds of police, some in riot gear and some carrying automatic weapons, descended into the protest zone and began leading demonstrators away in handcuffs through the snowy streets as holdout truckers blared their horns.

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
This report was better than most. Most call them occupiers. This called them protestors. Fair enough.
It’s a lie they were blocking any street.
Today the streets are all blocked by police and blockages of the past few weeks were all police barricades.
Lot of trucks and people still there.
Hopefully thousands and thousands will pour in for the weekend.
“you will own Nothing” and we don’t care.

And many if not most were vaccinated but believe in the right to decide for oneself.
It’s called the Freedom Convoy.
One truck had a litter of puppies their dog gave birth to about a week ago, they called freedom pups.
The numbers are rolling fast on that tweet.
Will be interesting to see if twitter leaves it up or removes it.
Supposedly she’s a grandmother and Native American.
I’ve been reading that she’s Jewish.
Fog of war.
I will never set foot in Canada again. The sad fact is, about 65 percent of Canadians support this, and mandates.
Yeah, my sources are sketchy.
If true it will come out in time.
Those cops must be so very proud. NOT!
Well, okay, not quite as bad but it still reminds me of this:

Trudeau’s deputy, Chrystia Freeland, who is also a director of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum, says she plans to make her emergency powers permanent. pic.twitter.com/g8JTCwzmqX— Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 (@ezralevant) February 19, 2022
“...I read the woman in the brown jacket is dead...”
The woman with the red jacket has a handicap walker or scooter and it was reportedly an elderly or handicap person who died. But the one in brown had a horse hoof on her scull.
From this day forward, as far as I’m concerned all cops are unworthy of trust or respect. Those qualities must now and forever be earned, never to be freely given again.
Whatever Karma visits them in whatever form it may take, they by their own actions, have brought this upon themselves. They are solely responsible for whatever may happen from this day forward. Yes, they must be very Proud.
Gotcha, thanks.
It’s certainly bad for both persons.
Trudeau needs to go down in flames and those scumbag cops too.
