@GetBAC
has an interesting point. The last time protestors without a permit shut down 1 intersection, police arrested 13 people after 36 hours. They were Indigenous and Black activists protesting police powers.
You do wonder why Ottawa police arrested 13 people who blocked one intersection in 2020 but have made no arrests this weekend when the entire downtown core is under siege, public health rules ignored, barricades removed, nazi flags etc.
