Ottawa police say they have prepared plans to take “imminent” action against demonstrators protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions in the capital city.
“We’ve been bolstering our resources, developing clear plans and preparing to take action. The action is imminent,” interim Police Chief Steve Bell said Thursday, Reuters reported.
“To those engaged in the unlawful protests – if you want to leave under your own terms, now is the time to do it,” Bell added. “It’s time to go. Your time in our city has come to an end and you must leave.”
