Ottawa police dismantled a logistics camps on Sunday night used by truckers and their supporters where they could assemble fuel and materials, just hours after the city declared a state of emergency, giving it the ability to bypass normal procedures.
Police have said they have made seven arrests so far, with most charges along the lines of mischief, as well as having about 60 investigations underway as law enforcement steps up its response.
Later Monday, a hearing will commence regarding a lawsuit calling to hear arguments in a proposed multi-million-dollar class-action lawsuit by Ottawa residents who want trucker protesters encamped downtown to stop the honking.
Politicians of several stripes have been calling for an end to the protests, but while many Conservatives have shown some support, there is still some division showing with even interim leader Candice Bergen calling for it to end. David Akin reports.
