Canadian authorities have frozen financial assets for those involved in ongoing protests in Ottawa, Canada. Police said some protestors had grenades.
Canadian authorities on Sunday froze the finances associated with certain individuals and companies believed to be involved in the ongoing protests in Ottawa, according to Mike Duheme, Royal Canadian Mounted Police deputy commissioner of federal policing.
"The province's Special Investigations Unit is investigating two police-involved incidents that occurred at the demonstrations in Ottawa yesterday and is urging anyone who has information, including video, to come forward," Ontario's SIU said. "We have been here for three weeks. I have been at this podium for the last 5 days, imploring people to leave, asking them to get out of our streets," Bell said.
Federal officials said small businesses can apply for up to $10,000 that they wouldn't have to pay back, the agency said. "Protesters continue to be aggressive and assaultive on officers. They are refusing to comply with the orders to move," police tweeted midday Saturday."You will have seen officers use a chemical irritant in an effort to stop the assaultive behavior and for officer safety."
