Truck Drivers in Canada Continue Covid-19 Protests

According to officials in Ottawa, an ongoing protest by Canadian truckers over Covid-19 health restrictions is now an ‘unlawful’ occupation of the country’s capital. According to Police Chief Peter Sloly, they’re looking at ‘every single option, including military aid.’ The truckers oppose a recent mandate requiring drivers entering Canada to be fully vaccinated or face testing and quarantine requirements, the group is also protesting against other health restrictions like mask mandates and Covid-19 lockdowns. The number of trucks and protesters in the city has dwindled but Sloly expects more to return to the capital by the weekend.
