The last big rigs were being towed out of Canada's capital today, where the streets were quiet for the first time in three weeks after a massive police operation ended a drawn-out siege over Covid-19 health rules

A major cleanup was underway in Ottawa's snowy downtown, where police in riot gear faced off with trucker-led demonstrators for two full days, finally driving them out of their protest hub outside parliament.

Ottawa police issued a reminder that the core area remains off-limits except to local residents and workers. Crews took down the last tents, food stands and other makeshift structures erected by demonstrators, and cleared heaps of snow from streets in preparation for a reopening of local businesses.Although pandemic health rules in Canada have eased as case numbers trend downward, protesters have vowed to press for a full lifting of restrictions, which have been among the world's strictest.

Mr Trudeau himself kept his distance as the police operation unfolded, refraining from public comment.

Those truckers in Canada deserve the respect of everyone who cares about freedom and civil liberties. They put Irish 'men' to shame, most of whom were too passive, lazy, frightened to even attend a demonstration against the covid rules.

This man is to be listened to Look how cultured he is A man of great sense & reason

So 3 weeks of noise or 3 weeks of nothing. Oh do inform Rte exact reaction is......

Did you call any left wing protests 'sieges' RTE?

Should have waved a few BLM flags and El Presidente 'Blackface' Turdeau would have joined the truckers and congratulated them.

Police attack peaceful people, Some here thinks it a good thing, How stupid is that. I'm 100% behind the truckers.

Rte changing the true narrative rather than reporting against Trudeau tyranny.

Disgusting party acting on their own behalf, and love to sayvas its true, all cops are bastards Trudo is a sick puppy

Oh health rules, right

Check out the massive protests in Quebec. today. This problem is not gone anyway and won’t unless they remove the requirement for mandatory vaccination.

About bloody time.

Great news. The cops were extremely lenient. All the loopers from America that have no business trying to destroy Canadian democracy should be locked up by the Canadians . The trump plague is spreading

About time as well.

Only woke protesting is allowed in Canada

Shame on the police they should have helped the truckers even though the were afraid of there jobs but one day they will need the truckers
