Yes, we absolutely do. Smaller protests are ongoing right now in Ottawa by the same group(s) that set up at parliament. They're totally legal, because they're not breaking any laws.

The big hoopla down on Wellington _was_ breaking _many_ laws. The municipality was unable to disperse it with the resources at hand, and so voila, emergencies act.

Thanks. I've been so curious about this - the news gives the opposite impression. I haven't been able to find any news media about ongoing legal protests in Ottawa (ie today/yesterday/Sunday). Do you know of any?

A smaller demonstration outside the War Museum was ongoing Sunday and Monday [1], I think there were like 3 people left there today. The authorities did not interfere since the protest was peaceful and lawful.

Many of the more hardcore members of the convoy have moved just outside of town to Arnprior and a nearby truckstop. [2][3]
