Here's what we know about the 'Freedom Convoy' protest today in Ottawa

Ottawa's police chief says the service is looking at "every single option" to end the occupation of downtown Ottawa, as the protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures continues.

With dozens of vehicles remaining parked in front of Parliament Hill and on several streets in the downtown core, calls are getting louder from residents, businesses and politicians to end the six-day protest.

"I am increasingly concerned there is no policing solution to this," said Chief Peter Sloly on Wednesday. "And that other solutions are going to have to be considered well beyond my ability to dictate."

The chief says options being considered include a court injunction or forced removal of the demonstrators, negotiations and assistance from the military.

The demonstration has closed several roads in the downtown core, and disrupted transit service.  Gatineau's STO says it will only offer a link to Ottawa via the Chaudiere Bridge.
