A 29-year-old man is facing charges after Ottawa police say a vehicle rammed a gate on Parliament Hill.Police say the driver drove an unauthorized vehicle into the front gates on Wellington Street, but was unable to go farther because of the security infrastructure. Damage to the gate was minimal and a nearby officer arrested the driver without incident.
The front gate on Parliament Hill in Ottawa was surrounded by barriers with red"danger" tape Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2022 after an unauthorized vehicle attempted to get onto the hill early in the morning. Ottawa police say charges are pending. The only hospital in Ottawa's east end says the ER will be closed Saturday and Sunday between 7:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m., with the temporary closure remaining in effect until Monday at 7:30 a.m.
Ottawa motorists received some relief at the gas pumps this weekend, as prices dropped to the lowest levels in six months. "These are very welcome prices, but the problem with all this is … don't take it for granted and don't expect it to last, because the markets I think are overestimating the amount of demand drop we've seen in the United States and underestimating the severest supply shortage that we're having," McTeague said.
