Ontario terminating state of emergency put in place for trucker convoy protest
CTV
Ontario's state of emergency put in place to help end the truck convoy protest will be terminated within the hour.
"In alignment with the federal government, Ontario will be terminating its declaration of a state of emergency as of 5:00 p.m. today," Premier Doug Ford's spokesperson Ivana Yelich said Wednesday.
"The emergency tools provided to law enforcement will be maintained at this time as police continue to address ongoing activity on the ground."
Ford declared a state of emergency in Ontario just over two weeks ago in an effort to “restore law and order” by making it punishable to block and stop the movement of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure.
Anyone who failed to comply risked facing a fine of $100,000 and up to a year in prison.
