PM Trudeau revokes the Emergencies Act

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revoked the Emergencies Act. Trudeau had said right up until yesterday that the government would not keep the Act in effect a moment longer than needed. Today he says that at the time, it was the right thing to do but there is no longer a state of emergency. He adds existing laws are sufficient to keep Canadians safe. The Act was invoked to end the weeks of truck protests against government COVID-19 health measures and vaccine mandates. Trudeau says there will be an inquiry into the whole process.

More than 100 people arrested in Ottawa as police operation continues

There's a sweeping police operation to end a three-week protest on Parliament Hill. Authorities so far have arrested more than 100 people. Law enforcement began the crackdown last night, setting up 100 checkpoints and arresting key organizers. Many more officers have descended on the downtown core, some clad in riot gear and holding what appeared to be tear-gas canisters. The national capital's interim police chief says the plan is ''deliberate and methodical'' and police are in control on the ground. Steve Bell says clearing the area will take time.
