Jim Watson

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante is facing pushback for a decision to restrict access to her social media accounts, which her office says was an attempt to curb online hate.

The chief of staff for former Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is expected to continue his testimony in the trial of two "Freedom Convoy" protest organizers today before the court takes a two-week break.

During dramatic testimony on Monday, October 31, 2022, former Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly called out his former boss Bill Blair, who now serves as a federal minister, over his assertions that local police didn't follow proper procedure to get help they needed during the "Freedom Convoy" protest last winter.

The Ontario Provincial Police warned last winter that support for the "Freedom Convoy" from Canadian political figures was likely to embolden protesters in the streets of downtown Ottawa.

The inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act will hear first-hand testimony on Monday, October 17, 2022, from top City of Ottawa officials about February's "Freedom Convoy" protest, including the mayor.

The Ottawa woman who filed for a court injunction to stop truckers from continually honking their horns during the "Freedom Convoy" in February is among the first witnesses at a public inquiry exploring the government's use of the Emergencies Act.

The public inquiry into the federal government's unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act during “Freedom Convoy” protests last winter begins on Thursday, October 13, 2022, and dozens of witnesses, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and high-profile convoy organizers, are expected to testify.

A Canadian soldier charged for speaking out against COVID-19 vaccine requirements will march through Ottawa on Thursday, June 30, 2022, kicking off what organizers are promising — and residents fear — will be a new wave of protests throughout the summer.

Emergency crews rushed to restore power and clear roads on Sunday, May 22, 2022, a day after a deadly and destructive storm swept across southern Ontario and Quebec, though officials cautioned that some of the outages could take days to resolve.

An Ontario judge has dismissed Ontario MPP Randy Hillier's request to have the terms of his bail conditions revised.

The "Rolling Thunder Ottawa" convoy plans to do a loop through downtown next weekend, with a stop planned at the National War Memorial.

The mayor of Canada's capital city is urging the federal government to send its workers back to their downtown offices to bolster flagging local businesses.

"Even though the blockades are lifted across border openings right now, even though things seem to be resolving very well in Ottawa, this state of emergency is not over," Trudeau said at late morning news conference.

Ottawa's mayor has set a deadline of noon today for truckers encamped in the capital's core to move out of residential streets in a bid to pare down the size of the protest's footprint.
