MONTREAL: The ongoing truckers' protest in the Canadian capital is "out of control," the Ottawa mayor said Sunday, announcing a state of emergency as the city center remained blocked by opponents of anti-Covid measures.
The protesters, who first reached the capital on Jan 29, have parked their big rigs on city streets and put up tents and temporary shacks -- paralyzing the capital to the consternation of officials and the mounting frustration of many residents.
