many protests have taken place there. The minute they started interfering with the lives of Ottawa citizens by 24 hour honking, using their trucks to block streets, harassing people, the Ottawa police had the authority to act and they didn't, imo.

I understand the thought that maybe giving them a day or two before taking action would be okay but when they did not stop after that, action should have been taken.
