Police in the Canadian capital have warned truck drivers blockading Ottawa’s downtown core that they must leave or face arrest, as authorities strengthen efforts to disperse an anti-government protest that has paralysed the city for nearly three weeks.
“You must leave the area now. Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking [of] streets, are [sic] committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested,” a leaflet handed out by police on Wednesday morning reads.
