Ottawa’s mayor has declared a state of emergency to handle the truckers who are protesting national coronavirus regulations – a 10-day occupation that has shut down the center of the Canadian capital city.“(This) reflects the serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents posed by the ongoing demonstrations and highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government,” Mayor Jim Watson said in a statement, Reuters reported.The so-called “Freedom Convoy” began as a protest against a vaccine requirement for cross-border truckers, but morphed into a mass demonstration against the Canadian government over other coronavirus regulations.
