Ottawa's police chief is issuing a warning to people thinking of coming to the capital for a third weekend of 'Freedom Convoy' protests: don't come.
"We expect that many demonstrators are considering coming to the city this weekend; please do not come," Chief Peter Sloly says.
"For those of you that are planning to come here and commit offences, don't! There will be accountability for any unlawful criminal activities that occur in this city in relation to this demonstration."
As the 15th day of protests begins against the COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures in downtown Ottawa, 400 trucks remain parked on Wellington Street and roads throughout the Parliamentary Precinct, and several roads, businesses, and a COVID-19 vaccine clinic remain closed.
Thursday night, a convoy of vehicles drove along the Queensway slowing traffic and occasionally honking horns. Dozens of vehicles also drove slowly through the Ottawa Airport in the morning.
