Ottawa's police chief was ousted on Tuesday amid criticism of his inaction against the trucker protests that have paralysed Canada's capital for over two weeks, while the number of blockades maintained by demonstrators at the US Border dropped to just one. The twin developments came a day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked Canada's Emergencies Act and threatened to take tough legal and financial measures to end the unrest in Ottawa.
