Associations representing the towing industry in Ontario and Alberta say expecting operators to clear blockades under the Emergencies Act is easier said than…

Mark Graves, president of the Provincial Towing Association of Ontario, says demanding private companies remove trucks is a massive undertaking and the government needs to first show it will protect the industry from threats to safety and business.“We have our members and companies asking us what their rights are. And we’re telling everybody once we have written documentation, then we’ll look at that and get back to everybody. But right now we don’t know anything.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino told a news conference Tuesday that the blockades are “driven by an ideology to overthrow the government” and there are elements within them that pose a serious threat to safety. On Wednesday, officers walked along Wellington Street in Ottawa handed out notices to protesters encamped there, telling them they “must leave the area now.”
