YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHundreds of people and dozens of trucks remained dug in Saturday along Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill and around downtown Ottawa, where many have been parked since the end of January.
At the intersection one block away from Parliament, demonstrators had taken over a parking lot and were blasting music as passersby danced.
Trucks began honking their horns continuously in the area as police officers sat parked in nearby vehicles.
A stage had been set up on the street in front of Parliament Hill where a line-up of speakers was set to address the crowd, which grew through the morning as people started to arrive.
The Ottawa Police Service, which has been criticized for not taking a harder line with the protesters, reported some demonstrators “exhibited aggressive behavior” by refusing to follow directions and even overwhelming officers.
While the protesters are decrying vaccine mandates for truckers and other COVID-19 restrictions, many of Canada's infection measures, such as mask rules and vaccine passports for getting into restaurants and theaters, are already falling away as the omicron surge levels off.
