The melee continues tonight, at Bank and Queen.

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

Protesters were assaulting officers with weapons warranting the deployment of mid range impact weapons (ARWEN) to stop the violent actions of the protesters.

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

DEMONSTRATORS: You must leave. As night falls, it is unsafe to stay. Get out of the cold and cease further unlawful activity. Anyone within the unlawful protest site may be arrested. #ottawa #ottnews

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Maybe Conservative MPs who embraced the occupiers could wander out of the debate on the Emergencies Act in Parliament and tell their "freedom" loving buddies that in Canada freedom means a free press & that means you don't harass and beat up journalists. Poilievre can go first.

Also, lots of reports that tear gas was deployed. A source in the police response says when police moved in, an occupier dropped a smoke bomb. (I've yet to confirmed whether he disappeared into said puff of smoke.) https://t.co/M1ZzEdpoSY

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

We are seeing protestors bringing their children to the unlawful protest site.

This is a reminder if you bring a minor (a person under 18) with you to an unlawful protest site you may be charged and be fined up to $5000 and potentially spend up to five years in prison.

Guns were not drawn. This is wrong. https://t.co/rbuZ08QfRZ

.@EvanLSolomon reports he was spat at and called a Nazi. He’s still reporting. He’s not going anywhere #ottnews #OccupationOttawa #cdnpoli #onpoli

One protester launched a gas canister and was arrested. Police response will be with public and officer safety in mind. Police remind protesters to remain peaceful.

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

Protesters continue to launch gas at police. Police response will be with public and officer safety in mind.

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

Police did not used gas on protesters yesterday. They have not used gas on protesters today.

Journalists in Ottawa have an extremely tough, dangerous job today

Please take a moment to thank them for covering this as closely and as accurately as possible

That includes my @CFRAOttawa @ctvottawa colleagues in front of/behind the camera/mic, writing, filming and posting

New legal action against “Freedom Convoy” organizers, truckers, donors.

Another health impact for “Freedom” without any responsibility. #ottawaoccupiers #OttawaSiege #Ottawa #ottnews

And while we're here, why don't we check-in on the movement of fuel.

We actually got it on live TV today! They walked right by while I was doing a hit.

Back at Bank and Riverside, a demand of the counter protesters is to have the cops take any jerry cans with fuel from the protesters in their cars

One counter protestor I spoke to said cops told her they don’t have the authority or legal ability to seize jerry cans on this road
