The February 2022 protests, dubbed the Freedom Convoy, were sparked by a Canadian government vaccine mandate for truck drivers crossing the U.S.-Canada border.
The act allows authorities to declare certain areas as no-go zones. It also allows police to freeze truckers' personal and corporate bank accounts and compel tow truck companies to haul away vehicles.
Big rigs parked outside Parliament represent the movement's last stronghold after demonstrators abandoned their sole remaining truck blockade along the U.S. border.
Anti-government protesters are refusing to budge from their encampment in Wellington. One lawmaker is blasting music and COVID-19 vaccine announcements, a tactic that's drawn mixed reviews.
The demonstration at the U.S.-Canada border crossing has disrupted the flow of goods between the two countries and forced the auto industry on both sides to roll back production.
