The Ottawa Police Service says charges have now been laid against 107 people in relation to the anti-government blockade that paralyzed much of downtown for the past three weeks.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit is also investigating two incidents involving police clearing hundreds of protesters and vehicles from the city on Friday and Saturday, including an incident where a woman was injured when Toronto police mounted officers charged the crowd in an attempt to move her.

Today, the streets surrounding Parliament Square are the quietest they have been in more than three weeks, but there is still a heavy police presence and small groups of protesters continue to gather at the fences erected around Parliament Square and some of the surrounding streets from the general public.

The police are closely monitoring them from a distance but did not move to force them to leave on Sunday morning.

There are still about 100 police checkpoints to monitor and determine who can access the heart of downtown, the parliamentary area is now largely fenced with almost no access at all.

The police announced later today that they began reopening some streets that had been closed due to the protests.

On the other hand, residents in three streets were warned to move their cars or they would be towed.

On Wellington Street in front of Parliament Square, the truck convoy center was completely dismantled.

The street, which was previously busy with three lanes full of large platforms and RVs, was deserted today, Sunday, except for a row of regional police SUVs and a single snow removal vehicle for city sidewalks.

The signs adorned with obscene words and anti-vaccine posters that were previously posted on the fences along the street have also disappeared.

Only a few Canadian flag banners still flutter, as piles of garbage have been collected at street corners — broken tents, empty gas cans, propane tanks, and in at least one place, a metal bucket filled with empty beer cans and liquor bottles.

Meanwhile, Ottawa Police said today, Sunday, that 191 people had been arrested and 57 vehicles towed since enforcement operations began last week.

So far, charges have been laid against 103 people, mostly for corruption and obstructing police work.

The police said 89 were released on condition of not returning to certain areas, while the rest were released without conditions.

The police also charged four convoy organizers and named them publicly, including the original Go Fund Me fundraiser organizer, Tamara Lich, trucking company operator Chris Barber, and Patrick King, who said in his Facebook videos before the convoy started that violence and bullets are the only way to end COVID-19 restrictions.

Tyson George Billings, known among convoy members as "Freedom George," was arrested Saturday evening.

A resident of High Prairie, Alta., he was live streaming on Facebook boasting about sneaking "through roadblocks in his truck" and is still out of jail.

He was saying, "I don't know if they're really looking for me," while others were shouting "Freedom" repeatedly.

Seconds later, red and blue lights lit up behind his truck.

He said as he stopped the vehicle, "Looks like they might have caught me," and he was arrested when he got out of the vehicle, and police confiscated a six-inch blade which he told them was his "legal knife."

Those following could be heard chanting "shame."

Billings faces five charges including assault, incitement to others to commit assault, and obstructing police work.

Meanwhile, Ontario's Special Investigations Unit said in a statement Sunday it is investigating an interaction between the Toronto Police Service Mounted Unit and a 49-year-old woman.

Mounted police officers were brought in to help control crowds on Friday evening.

At one point, officers charged the crowd and a pedestrian woman fell.

The Special Investigations Unit said the woman reported a serious injury, and the family variably stated on social media that she suffered a shoulder dislocation.

Ottawa Police tweeted Friday evening that no one was killed or seriously injured despite numerous social media reports of a death.

The Special Investigations Unit is also investigating the use of riot control weapons by Vancouver Police Department officers Saturday evening.

The weapon is described as firing "less lethal" ammunition including direct impact batons, irritant chemical projectiles, and smoke rounds.

The Special Investigations Unit said no reports of injuries have been made so far but is asking anyone who was hit to contact them.
