Daily Mail: Canada cops ARREST Freedom Convoy leader after warning protesters in Ottawa to ‘get out now’ and flooding capital’s streets with officers: Trudeau fights to keep his emergency powers alive 

* Chris Barber, a prominent leader of the truckers’ protest, was arrested in Ottawa on Thursday afternoon 

* Barber is the first organizer of the demonstrations to be detained, and is expected to face criminal charges 

* Barber is one of three people – along with fellow convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Benjamin Dichter – named in a class action lawsuit filed last week by a 21-year-old woman against the noise and disruption in Ottawa 

* Members of Canada’s Parliament engaged in fierce debate over Trudeau’s emergency powers on Thursday 

* Conservative Party and Bloc Québécois are opposed to his use of Emergencies Act against Freedom Convoy 

* But Trudeau’s Liberals and allied New Democratic Party have the numbers to secure approval of the powers 

* Trudeau insists that his use of emergency powers is necessary to end the weeks-long protests 

* ‘It’s high time that these illegal and dangerous activities stop,’ Trudeau declared in Parliament 

* Trudeau’s Justice Minister David Lametti says donors funding the protest were subject to asset seizure 

* Said they ‘ought to be worried’ about having their bank accounts frozen under emergency powers 

Canadian police arrested one of the most high-profile leaders of the Freedom Convoy on Thursday afternoon, hours after Ottawa police warned protesters that they had to move their trucks from the center of the capital. 

Chris Barber is being held in custody and is expected to face criminal charges, CBC reported. 

Barber, a truck driver who led the Saskatchewan portion of the protest convoy that has been in Ottawa for the last three weeks, was walking down the street with several friends when police detained him.
