Share! :D
For the first time in more than three weeks the streets of downtown Ottawa are largely quiet and calm. The police operation isn’t over yet as officers remain in the area around Parliament Hill clearing out the last of the protesters and working to ensure they can’t return. Police are also removing vehicles and debris left behind by the demonstrators. Heavy security measures remain in place in the downtown core and there’s no word on when those might be lifted. David Akin reports.
Many residents of Ottawa are breathing a sigh of relief tonight after three weeks about complaints of harassment, noise and unease during the demonstration. Sean O’Shea joins us from inside the security zone.
