Ottawa, Feb 16 (TIWN) One day after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a public order emergency, the government has outlined further steps to end the truckers protests and blockades.

According to a press release issued by Public Safety Canada on Tuesday, anyone participating in the blockades is urged to return to their communities peacefully and immediately, Xinhua news agency reported.  "These blockades must be brought to an end, and the federal government will continue working on every option to end them," the release said.  Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said on Tuesday in a press conference that they would like to see the 19-day occupation end this week, assuring Ottawa residents that the chaos in their city will soon end.  "No one wants to see another weekend like the last three. And I'm assured by my discussions with the police that they fully appreciate that, and we now depend on them to do the job," Mendicino said.  Police will soon establish "no-go" zones in the city's downtown core, the minister said, and people who defy orders to leave will face fines or jail time, or both.
