Police seized trucks and took control of the streets in front of the Parliament building as they pushed back protesters in Canada's besieged capital on Saturday. The date is February 19 Hundreds of police in riot gear swept through Canada's capital on Saturday, taking control of the streets around the Parliament buildings and ending a three-week protest. Protesters retreated from the largest police operation in the country's history, with police arresting or driving out demonstrators and towing away their trucks. Interim Police Chief Steve Bell said that there were some smaller protests that continued. We will keep going until it is complete. One of the organizers told reporters that they had decided to peacefully withdraw from the streets. Tom Marazzo said at a press conference that they would regroup as a grassroots movement. Bell said 170 people were arrested Friday and Saturday and multiple investigations had been launched because of weapons seizures. He said at the press conference that he would go after protesters who did not leave with financial sanctions and criminal charges. The protesters were gone from the street in front of Parliament Hill by early Saturday afternoon. It had been occupied by protesters and their trucks since late last month.

Around midday, protest organizers said they had ordered truck drivers to leave Parliament Hill, decrying the police actions as abuse of power. The organizers said in a statement that it would take time to move the trucks. The protesters were told to leave by the police. We gave you time to leave. You were aggressive with officers and the horses, we were slow and methodical. Helmets and batons are being included for our safety based on your behavior. Police said a protester launched a gas canister and was arrested. Bell said that no protesters had been hurt and that most of the arrests were for mischief charges. He said one officer had an injury.

After weeks of demonstrations and blockades that shut down border crossings into the U.S. and created one of the most serious tests yet for Trudeau, the capital and its paralyzed streets were the movement's last major stronghold. Canada's reputation for civility was hurt by them, with some blaming America's influence. The Freedom Convoy demonstrations initially focused on Canada's vaccine requirement for truck drivers entering the country, but soon turned into a broad attack on Trudeau's government. A court injunction was obtained to stop the truck drivers from making noise. Trudeau said the protesters were members of a fringe element.
