Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested.

You must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you will face charges,” reads a notice issued by Ottawa police on Wednesday morning.“The people of Ottawa are being denied the lawful use, enjoyment and operation of their property and you are causing businesses to close.

That is mischief under the Criminal Code.”Also on Wednesday morning, an Ontario Superior Court justice in Ottawa granted a 60-day extension to the injunction issued last week which banned the use of air horns and train horns by the convoy.That injunction had initially been granted for just 10-days and was set to expire.

Canada will scrap pre-arrival COVID-19 testing rule for vaccinated travellers April 1
COVID-19 testing requirement for fully vaccinated travellers, the federal government announced on Thursday.Starting April 1, vaccinated travellers won’t need to track down a COVID-19 test in the last day before their vacation ends.“Today’s announcement is encouraging, but let us remember that all measures are subject to review,” said Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, speaking to reporters Thursday morning.“We will continue to adjust them as the epidemiological situation here in Canada and abroad evolves.”Currently, all travellers entering Canada — regardless of vaccination status — have to show proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen test, taken within 24 hours of their flight or arrival at Canada’s border.As an alternative, they can show proof of a negative PCR test from within the previous 72 hours. Is Canada dropping its COVID-19 guard too quickly? Experts weigh in But starting next month, travellers who are fully vaccinated — with two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine — won’t have to show either.Fully vaccinated travellers might still have to undergo random testing when they arrive in Canada, but they don’t have to quarantine while awaiting their results, Duclos added.Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated travellers will be subject to a molecular test both when they arrive and again eight days later.
