Conservatives split on whether convoy protest should stay or vacate Parliament Hill
Conservatives appear increasingly split over whether a protest against COVID-19 health restrictions in the nation's capital should stay or go.
Since protesters arrived nearly two weeks ago on Parliament Hill, the surrounding blocks have been clogged with idling semi-trucks and personal vehicles.
An Ontario court recently granted a 10-day injunction against protesting vehicles from honking their horns incessantly.
Nearby businesses have also chosen to shut their doors as there have been reports of abusive behaviour and flouting of COVID-19 public health rules by the demonstrators.
The protesters' refusal to leave has prompted pleas from Ottawa's mayor for more federal help and police resources and the city to declare a state of emergency.
