You can see a lot more of what happened in Ottawa over the weekend. The protestors have been cleared up in large part. While some were charged with arrest, others appeared to have been taken into custody, detained for a time, then released with threats to stay away.
There were 103 arrests. Mischief and Obstruct are the main charges.
They were released to conditions which include an area they cannot cross.
They have all been unconditionally released. https://t.co/nhlToZrJhc

But in its place, they have imposed fences blocking off a variety of areas and imposing at least 100 checkpoints and they want you to know that if you “simply” comply with the government edicts, all will be well. Oh, and you’ll have to submit to grilling as to why you might want to walk down the street.
The downtown area is surrounded by approximately 100 checkpoints. You will be asked by police your reasons for traveling to the secured area.

Ottawa motorists: There will be road closures in Ottawa this morning that could impact your ability to get around.

Weren’t they supposed to be clearing blockades? I’m so confused! Remember that this was despite the ongoing protest. So if anyone was disturbed about trucks, now they can have police “simply” grilling them as to what they are doing just because they want to walk down the street. Oh, and by the way, the elites, they can get through, just you peons can’t.
Except for parliamentary employees, pedestrian traffic cannot be moved north of Sparks Street.

These women will determine if you’re worthy of walking down the street. We previously reported that this Alberta woman wasn’t.

Here’s a Getty photographer who was told press freedoms no longer apply.
This morning, a police officer pulled up near my Ottawa hotel and said that I was now in a safe zone. He also told me that as a journalist, I could not take photos. I hope he was misinformed or it doesn’t speak well of press freedoms in Canada. pic.twitter.com/WdMzGAoELE

But what if you don’t want to comply? We reported in the past that Trudeau had threatened to recruit tow truck drivers for their protest. He just bristles and says that they actually conscripted some drivers who weren’t willing to work. So they need the Emergencies Act to be able to take away people’s rights.
Trudeau claims that by using the Emergencies Act, he was able to force tow truck drivers under the threat of severe financial penalties to comply with the government’s orders.
Protesters in other states may keep their blocksades.

Now if they wish, if you contribute to what they don’t like, or have “unacceptable views,” your accounts will be frozen. You can see that they admit to it.
Ottawa Police praises Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act, it allowed them to freeze over 206 “financial products”, which includes personal banking accounts and bitcoin addresses.https://t.co/cTm6cKHpsA pic.twitter.com/flUlEF3vgf

Instead of peaceful protests, even if they are loud, we have a police state that is jackbooted. Justin Trudeau has stated that they have to keep it going, regardless of any blockade or occupation. Which kind of makes it clear that wasn’t what the Emergencies Act was about.
Do you really need to shout “PAPIERE BITE” as in olden days? https://t.co/Z1YlTKcWlc

Cristian Terhes, Member of European Parliament, compared Trudeau with a Communist dictator because of all his moves. He said that we must all stand united against any attempts to undermine freedom in the world. It’s hard to disagree, seeing how fast Canada has fallen.
