The weeks-long protests cost the city about $7 million and cost Ottawa police $55 million, as demonstrators opposed to COVID-19 mandates and the federal government blockaded downtown streets. Last year, the government set aside $6.9 million to cover costs of the protests in Windsor, Ont., where protesters blockaded Canada’s busiest border crossing.
Similar protests shut down border crossings in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and near the town of Coutts, Alta., last winter as the majority of “Freedom Convoy” demonstrators camped out in the streets near Parliament Hill.
