Canadian airlines cancel flights, call for end of travel-restrictions

Canada’s two major airlines have asked Ottawa to lift COVID-19 travel restrictions amid protests over vaccine regulations in the nation’s capital.

The current wave of protests against COVID-19 measures began when thousands of demonstrators gathered in Ottawa to strongly oppose mandatory vaccinations for truck drivers crossing the U.S.-Canada border.

WestJet has already canceled 20% of its flights in March amid continued uncertainty over the trucker protests, The Globe and Mail reported.

“It is disappointing that Canada’s practices remain stalled and continue to inaccessible and penalize travel for Canadians and inbound tourists,” said interim CEO Harry Taylor, while adding that travel advice and Testing requirements are temporary.

Earlier Sunday, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency for the city.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino announced Monday that the federal police has granted Ottawa’s request for additional officers to quell protests.

“I can confirm that the request for additional officers has been received and approved by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP),” Mendicino said during an urgent debate about the situation.

Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the truck driver protests in Ottawa must end, citing the damage to the economy and local residents.

“Individuals are trying to shut down our economy, our democracy and the daily lives of our fellow citizens, and it has to stop,” Trudeau said in a speech to Canada’s parliament on Monday night.

“The people of Ottawa should not be harassed in their own communities. They should not face the inherent violence of swastikas or Confederate flags fluttering on street corners.
