Ottawa police announce new charges related to convoy as downtown councillor calls for more action
CTV
A downtown councillor is calling on Mayor Jim Watson and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take action to end the 16-day demonstration and blockade as police expect more people to converge on downtown Ottawa again today.
Ottawa police, meanwhile, say more charges have been laid.
"Prime Minister: the federal government must immediately provide the 1800 resources that have been requested. You told the City to ask. We did. You must deliver. Take control of your capital," Coun. Catherine McKenney wrote on Twitter.
"Mayor Watson: the City of Ottawa is paralyzed and unable to contain and end the occupation. Put in place a leader who will apply all necessary measures to end this. Take control of your city."
Coun. Jeff Leiper is calling on the Ottawa police to "close down the fun fair."
