The Mayor of Canada's capital Ottawa, Jim Watson, declared a state of emergency on Sunday as people protesting against COVID-19 restrictions continued to paralyze the city's downtown. Earlier on Sunday, Watson said the ongoing truckers' protest in the city is "out of control," and the protesters have "outnumbered" police officers. "We are losing this battle..this has to be reversed," he added.
