On Saturday, June 11, the Canadian police blocked the central part of Ottawa and evacuated people from Parliament Hill in connection with an “active police operation” to overcome a possible threat.

CBC News writes about it.

Details

At the moment, armed police officers are on duty in Ottawa along the roads on Wellington Street. They did not disclose the details of their actions, but said that an active operation was being carried out regarding a possible threat to public safety.

Law enforcement officers recommended that employees who were inside the administrative building leave the parliament, and also ask the townspeople to block zones if possible.

It is known that on June 11 there were no events in the Canadian Parliament, and there were few people present, since it is a day off.

Canadian sanctions

“Banning entry into our country to the closest associates and key supporters of the Putin regime, including those responsible for this unprovoked aggression, is one of many ways to hold Russia accountable for its crimes,” Canadian Public Security Minister Marco Mendicino said. .

It is noted that Canada cannot deny entry to persons subject to sanctions without amending the so-called “Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)”.

Upon entry into force, these IRPA amendments will apply to all foreign nationals subject to Canadian sanctions, as well as any accompanying family members.

Recall, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced additional military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 50 million Canadian dollars (about 41 million US dollars). He also announced new sanctions against the Russian Federation.
