A group involved in the anti-government protest against COVID-19 measures in Ottawa is asking a court to put the brakes on federal use of the Emergencies Act to clamp down on demonstrators.

Two police officers escorted Faye Doiron and Randy Longaphie as they left Toronto General Hospital on Monday, September 13, 2021, helping the pair make their way through a crowd of protesters denouncing pandemic measures.

The federal New Democrats and Liberals made mirror pledges on Monday, September 13, 2021, to criminalize protesters that block hospitals or harass health-care workers as party leaders denounced planned demonstrations at hospitals countrywide.

Some high-ranking Ontario politicians and prominent health-care organizations are issuing warnings ahead of a number of protests expected to take place at hospitals across Canada today, September 13, 2021.
