Ottawa police are warning the supply of fuel and materials will be cut off to protesters downtown, saying, “Anyone attempting to bring material supports to the demonstrators could be subject to arrest.”
Police announced new enforcement is underway just hours after Mayor Jim Watson said the downtown area is “out of control” on day 10 of the ‘Freedom Convoy” on Wellington Street and other roads around Parliament Hill.

Province says Ottawa has tools needed to end convoy protest; Watson warns city authorities ‘outnumbered’ by protesters
While increasingly desperate Ottawa officials look to other levels of government for help ending truck protest, the province is sending a message that Ottawa police have all the tools and resources they need to do the job themselves.
On Sunday afternoon Premier Doug Ford underscored that message on Twitter, saying: “While we cannot direct the police, we have provided the city of Ottawa everything they have asked for and will continue to provide whatever support they request.”
