Police wearing helmets and shields made several arrests in Canada’s capital after facing off against protesters opposed to Covid-19 mandates.

HGVs attempted to make their way to Parliament Hill as part of the Rolling Thunder rally, organised by Freedom Fighters Canada, a group dedicated to speaking out against Covid-19 mandates.
