For those watching at home, I’ve made a map. The red arrows are current police advancements. The black line is where some protesters have now fallen back to to build a barricade. That black rectangle is where the two #NB’ers from Grand Manan were parked, but have now gone home. This is the wall that’s being built.

I have been on the Hill for the last hour and a half walking around, so here's a thread on what's going on, so far... First, I don’t live in the core, so it took a long time to get to ground zero. Road blocks everywhere. One police check even turning back a guy with Parliamentary Press Gallery credentials. So you just go to the next perimeter point and hope for a friendlier cop.
