Ottawa's police chief resigned on Tuesday after failing to restore order in the Canadian capital during 19 days of unrest - a day after Prime Minister invoked a sweeping act which critics said was tantamount to martial law.Peter Sloly, who had led Ottawa's police since 2019, was known for his progressive reform agenda but this week admitted defeat, as residents of the city complained about his handling of the 'Freedom Convoy' anti-vaccine mandate protests.Truck drivers have been parked in the city center since January 27, demanding an end to Trudeau's vaccine mandates. They have said they will remain until the mandates are lifted - despite over 90 percent of Canadians already being fully vaccinated. Others within their movement blocked bridges into the U.S. last week for five days, causing millions of dollars of losses in international trade.
