The city of Ottawa is warning of a possible convoy activities and highway off-ramp closures in downtown Ottawa on Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of the federal government's decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.
On Feb. 14, 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to give the federal government temporary powers to handle blockades and protests across Canada against pandemic restrictions. The move came during the third week of the 'Freedom Convoy' protest that occupied streets in downtown Ottawa.
"We continue to work with our municipal, provincial and federal partners to ensure the safety of residents and visitors next week," police said on Twitter. Chief Eric Stubbs told reporters "how we operated a couple of weeks ago is how we're approaching the coming month", referencing the increased police presence around Parliament Hill during the last weekend of January.
