Politiet i Ottawa har åpenbart bestemt at dette er dagen for å fjerne Freedom Convoy-demonstrantene fra byen. Mange live-strømmer er enn så lenge å se både på YouTube, Twitter og andre steder.
En av dem er denne her:
LIVE IN OTTAWA: POLICE MOVING IN ON TRUCKERS CONVOY https://t.co/PAoRmGOOhM

Som man kan se, forsøker demonstrantene å stå opp mot politiet.
Søk selv etter ferske bilder fra Ottawa hvis denne eller andre live-strømmer forsvinner, og se med egne øyne.
En av borgerjournalistene som live-strømmer, ser ut til å ha blitt arrestert:
Kanskje han ikke blir den eneste:
Canada's capital city is now under martial law. Police have ordered MPs off of Parliament Hill. They have ordered peaceful trucker protesters out of the city, and are arresting them en masse. And now the police are ordering journalists not to record their crackdown. https://t.co/dQpEjnzFog

Politiet sirkler også inn truckerne selv:

På takene i nærheten har politiet plassert snikskyttere:

Det antydes også at politiet har pålagt eiere av bergingsbiler å taue bort lastebilene:
Some eyewitness video of police-escorted tow trucks heading into Ottawa. I wonder if they're working voluntarily or if they've been conscripted to do forced labour for the government, as the Emergencies Act allows. pic.twitter.com/HLIsfcUqft

Police have started towing vehicles on Nicholas. Many of the tow truck drivers are wearing full face coverings and the logos on the tow trucks have been covered. pic.twitter.com/OsS6jbrRAA

Det store spørsmålet er om denne operasjonen vil sette en stopper for demonstrasjonene på Parliament Hill.
