Canadian Truckers get Physical

 This is a battle between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and truckers in Ottawa County. This conflict is happening in Ottawa, Canada, on major streets, like highways, and truckers and other group supporters blocked it off, and now it looks like its own village. Trudeau put a state of emergency file out for Ottawa, which means the government can shut down the protests. They have already arrested 11 people and taken control of many guns as of right now. While the main disagreement of this protest is that the truckers and citizens want freedom and not as strict rules for Covid, the prime minister is trying to please the majority of others and keep the covid regulations intact.
