Ottawa Police smashing truck windows at Freedom Convoy

OTTAWA—Police moved in on protesters here Friday, towing heavy-duty trucks and making dozens of arrests as they began clearing a 22-day demonstration against Covid-19 vaccine mandates that has paralyzed the capital’s downtown and inspired blockades of crucial U.S.-Canada border crossings.
Interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell said Friday afternoon that officers were in control of the situation on the ground, and “will continue to push forward to clear our streets.”
