Crowds are thinning on Parliament Hill, but a lingering cohort of protesters has vowed to stay the course as the trucker protest neared the end of a fourth day in Ottawa, despite condemnations, calls to go home, and arrests.
Ottawa Police Service Chief Peter Sloly says the trucker convoy protest has been intolerable and unprecedented, and that officers have been pushed to the limit and injured in the course of their duties.
Parts of Ottawa s downtown core remain inaccessible to the public as a scaled-down, core group of truck convoy protesters continue to occupy the areas surrounding Parliament Hill. A statement issued by the convoy s organizers Wednesday said they plan to remain for as long as it takes.
