Police in Ottawa are making clear they are prepared to end a protest over Covid-19 regulations which has shut down portions of the capital and impaired the daily lives of residents for nearly three weeks.
Authorities will employ "lawful techniques" if needed to remove demonstrators from the streets, according to interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell.
