Ottawa protest faces rising resident anger, uncertain finances in its 2nd week

… Protesters have maintained a near-constant level of noise and disruption in the downtown core of the nation’s capital, blocking traffic, honking horns, setting off fireworks and organizing loud music.

Local officials and residents have spoken out about instances of harassment and intimidation by protesters, while some demonstrators have also displayed symbols of hate, including the Confederate flag and swastikas. Protesters have also put up a plywood building and tents in the area.

On Saturday, two protesters rode horses through the streets, one carrying a flag supporting former U.S. president Donald Trump.
