Quebec version of ‘freedom convoy’ draws to a close as police issue warnings
CTV
Quebec City police officers echoed actions of their counterparts in Ottawa going truck to truck issuing courtesy warnings to those involved in the trucker convoy, advising that their rigs are parked illegally and they should move or face fines or worse.
By 5 p.m. on Sunday less than a dozen trucks remained on the streets surrounding the National Assembly.
Police issued a warning to truck drivers earlier that day, advising that their rigs are parked illegally and they will be fined or worse should they fail to move.
“In the next few hours, the parking tolerance in connection with the event will be lifted,” Quebec City Police (SPVQ) said.
15 fines have been handed out since Saturday night for road safety, 17 have been handed out for parking illegally, and 7 for breaking municipal bylaws, including drinking in open air.
