Ottawa is bracing for a new round of protests expected to start on Canada Day and the city's mayor and chief of police say they are ready.
The city has been the scene of several large demonstrations since supporters of the"Freedom Convoy" occupied the downtown core for three weeks in January and February. Bell said police are prepared for a number of different scenarios, and will respond quickly to any illegal activity, including efforts to set up structures such as stages.
Watson said Ottawa residents and visitors should feel comfortable heading to the Canada Day celebrations, which are being held at a location west of downtown, but to be prepared for delays, street closures and other travel disruptions.
