The situation is out of control in Ottawa (Canada) and an emergency has been declared by the mayor of the city.
Truckers joined by hundreds of demonstrators in the streets of Ottawa (Canada) continue to paralyze the city center. For more than a week, the demonstration against sanitary measures has continued to grow. The mayor of Ottawa even mentions a situation that has gotten out of control. He declared a state of emergency.
“Thousands of demonstrators against hundreds of police officers is not enough, we must ensure that order returns to our city”, says Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson. More law enforcement will be deployed. The objective is also not to completely paralyze essential services to residents. The anger is now spreading to other cities across the country. For the moment, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, excludes any intervention by the army.
