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.
