Following reports the Canadian police were breaking up the protest, parliamentary officials said their Friday session was cancelled.
The Canadian House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota released a warning for representatives, advising them to “stay away from the downtown core until further notice” due to the impending clash between protestors and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s police officers.
The call to vacate the area came an hour or so before Ottawa Police made public their next move by issuing a general warning.
