*Protests in Canada over COVID-19 regulations are in their second week, amid blocked roads and noisy demonstrations, as well as allegations of hate crime incidents under investigation and arrests being carried out amid reports of stones and thrown eggs. The protests began with a group of truckers arriving in the heart of Ottawa on January 29 to reject the new coronavirus testing and vaccination rules. Those demonstrations inspired other protests this weekend in major cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Quebec City. *

Most businesses in downtown Ottawa have been closed for more than a week or have been operating with reduced hours. And homeowners complain to city officials of financial difficulties as customers dwindle.
