Dissatisfaction of truck drivers shifted from the capital to Toronto, Quebec, Winnipeg
Protesters in the Canadian capital, Ottawa, are in control of the situation and outnumber police, Mayor Jim Watson was quoted as saying by BNR.
On the tenth day, downtown Ottawa was paralyzed by a truck driver’s protest called the “Freedom Convoy” against compulsory vaccination, which grew into a move against covid restrictions.
According to world agencies, protesters are waving Nazi flags or Confederate flags. Some say they want the Canadian government dissolved.
Four people have been charged with hatred and threatening public figures. A well-organized blockade relies on funding from the United States, according to Canadian police.
In Canada, protests by truck drivers passed from the capital Ottawa to Toronto, Quebec City and Winnipeg, BNT reported at the same time. The protests have gradually shifted against strict restrictions on the pandemic and the rule of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Many drivers outside the industry are joining the truck drivers. Toronto has a heavier police presence due to fears of unrest. Hundreds of health workers demonstrated in the city center.
