City of Ottawa operational update on the trucker protest starting now:
Mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson says "the protests have been incredibly disruptive and continue to impact the safety and wellbeing of our residents.
People have had the opportunity to voice their frustration against government policy, but ...'they've worn out their welcome'"
Mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson says "all types of bad behaviors have taken away the freedom of our residents to live without fear."
Mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson says he "fundamentally disagrees" with the protest because "masks and vaccinations are some of the few tools we have to fight COVID-19."
How does what they are actually protesting go right over these politicians' heads?
Ottawa mayor Watson says "but you've had your moment, your 15 minutes, time to move on and give back our city to our residents and you go on your way to your community to raise these issues with your local MPs."
