Police announce 170 arrests after more confrontations on Saturday with anti-Trudeau protesters
Canadian police on Sunday were making possibly a final push to clear the capital city, Ottawa, of demonstrators who have paralyzed it by parking and camping on the streets for more than three weeks to protest against pandemic restrictions.
Police have made 170 arrests and towed 53 vehicles since they began efforts to bust up the protest on Friday morning. To do so required the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, to invoke rarely used emergency powers.
