Ottawa's downtown core remains locked down Friday morning as police are expected to move in on protesters who have been illegally occupying the core of the capital for three weeks.
Anyone travelling into the so-called red zone, which includes Parliament Hill, must pass through police checkpoints.
A winter storm warning and significant overnight snowfall created hazardous winter conditions Friday morning, further adding complications and delays to travel in the city.
The House of Commons cancelled its Friday sitting due to expected police action on Wellington Street and other parts of downtown, temporarily suspending the debate on the use of the Emergencies Act.
The police operation to remove protesters in Ottawa began about 20 minutes ago. The police seem to be arresting people on foot to start with. I'm sure Ottawa residents, sick of the disruption and noise will be cheering this on.

These Neanderthals could have just got a small needle prick and been working.
This is just the beginning of their problems. Their rigs are going to be siezed, bank accounts frozen and insurance suspended.These Neanderthals could have just got a small needle prick and been working.
Ah well, they think If they pretend to be victims akin to Jews in Nazi Germany they get a prize at the end.
Morons.

They're a very small group and have little support in Canada.
It is amazing how the left loves a dictator totalitarian state. It happens every time they take control.The police operation to remove protesters in Ottawa began about 20 minutes ago.

No wonder they're the darlings of the CEC!According to some of the citizens of Trump Fan Nation in this board, the truckers are just as righteous as Susan B Anthony whose actions resulted in women finally getting to vote after centuries of being oppressed, and MLK's actions resulting in black people no longer being held in bondage or being the victims of oppression as they were for hundreds of years.
I mean, doesn't everyone compare the treatments of blacks and the oppression of women with having to get a free shot?
It's amazing how some on the right love an illegal occupation when it's white extremists.It is amazing how the left loves a dictator totalitarian state. It happens every time they take control.
I agree, the move to the far right is more and more apparent. Although they exist in every Province, the Western provinces seem to be the epicentre. I'm fairly certain that Poilievre will win the leadership but it will leave a deeply divided Conservative party. One can't help but wonder if another split ala Manning may happen again. Nonetheless, as much of a mess, Trudeau has made of so many things I think a sharp move to the far-right by choosing Poilievre likely ensures another Liberal win down the road. If the Conservatives could pick a moderate leader I think they could easily oust the Liberals. I heard Charest was thinking of throwing his hat in the ring.We have talked about this before and while I think it’s still a minority (and a vocal one at that) it’s more sizable than you think.
For years I’ve been talking about the rise of nativist thinking among white Canadians and they are becoming more vocal and visible and it is worrying to me.
I see conservatism in Canada becoming more extreme than when I first came, I see national identity becoming more rigid among many of its white supporters and when you look at Saskatchewan and Alberta and Kenny especially, his bid to appeal to these trucker protesters to build a new base overnight was so transparent it’s unbelievable you can see how much they want to pivot to these neanderthals.
In BC we seem to be slightly more reasonable, but I worry that Trudeaus actions may be slightly too aggressive and will cause more problems than they will solve in the long run with these wannabe Alabama trailer park freedom folks.
But we’ll see…
There's been reports of property damage, rock throwing, assaults, and the presence of weapons/ammunition:It's amazing how some on the right love an illegal occupation when it's white extremists.

Irrelevant comparison.But they've been TOTALLY more peaceful than Black Lives Matter protests
It is amazing how the left loves a dictator totalitarian state. It happens every time they take control.
Any protest that doesn't involve looting, burning down buildings, and killing needs to be shut down! Those Neanderthals!Indeed, they jizz themselves over shit like this, and the more violent the better.
Yep. Whether it is Biden saying to fire the brave first responders to the clapping like baby seals at a town hall meeting or Trudeau arresting truckers who bring food to us, they just love seeing the strong put down.Indeed, they jizz themselves over shit like this, and the more violent the better.
I strongly disagree with those actions. The police should absolutely arrest them and they should be tried, but the extrajudicial stuff is bullshit and kinda worry to me to be honest.This is just the beginning of their problems. Their rigs are going to be siezed, bank accounts frozen and insurance suspended.
It's very possible that those measures won't stand up in court.I strongly disagree with those actions. The police should absolutely arrest them and they should be tried, but the extrajudicial stuff is bullshit and kinda worry to me to be honest.
Peaceful so far.This is just the beginning of their problems. Their rigs are going to be siezed, bank accounts frozen and insurance suspended.

It's amazing how some on the right
love an illegal occupation
when it's white extremists.
