Behind a police fence and concrete barricades, Ottawa's snowy downtown woke to the first quiet morning since a convoy of protesters rolled into the city more than three weeks ago.
Police vehicles and a significant police presence have replaced semi-truck trailers and protesters in the main downtown protest site on Wellington Street within the police secured area stretching from Bronson Avenue to the Canal, and from the Queensway to Parliament Hill.
Police fenced off the area immediately surrounding the Parliamentary Precinct where protesters had been entrenched until a series of police advances throughout the day Saturday pushed the crowd first west, then south, away from Parliament Hill.
Police said vehicles will be impounded for seven days, but Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said Saturday he would like the impounded vehicles to be sold to help the city recover the costs of the occupation.
Watson told CBC the city has the power to do so as a result of the Emergencies Act, which was invoked by the federal government last week.
