The CBC reports:
As the pandemic protest closes in on a third full week in Ottawa, the injunction against honking loud horns in Ottawa has been extended and there are again warnings to protesters of the possible consequences of staying in or coming to the capital. On Wednesday, Ottawa police began distributing written notices to remaining protesters.
“You must leave the area now. Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested,” it said. They also posted them online, in part because they had a message for people thinking of coming to Ottawa to protest under new federal powers.
In a separate warning, the The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa told parents at the protest to arrange for their care should they be unable to provide it after police action. Some of the new powers ban people from bringing children to unlawful assemblies.
