A person wears a Team Canada hockey jersey after city officials negotiated to move some trucks towards Parliament and away from downtown residences on the 18th day of a protest against COVID-19 measures that has grown into a broader antigovernment protest in Ottawa on Monday.
Jason Kenney, the premier of Alberta, where protesters have been blocking a crossing to the U.S., expressed his opposition in using the Act — saying the province"has what it needs" to address the blockade, Canadian outlet"The view I have, which I conveyed to the prime minister... is that this is not necessary, at least for an Alberta context," Kenney said.
