Canada: 'Freedom Convoy' Ottawa blockade ongoing as protest organiser Chris Barber arrested

Truckers continue to blockade downtown Ottawa to protest COVID vaccine mandates, Thursday, despite a growing police presence at the 'freedom convoy' rally and warnings of fines and possible arrest. At least four protesters were arrested, including two organisers of the convoy. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged on Thursday that 'these illegal and dangerous activities stop' as demonstrators have been blocking Parliament Hill for nearly three weeks.
