Australia has reopened its international border for the first time in nearly two years, bringing joyful family reunions and a boost to tourism.

The country imposed some of the world's strictest travel bans after shutting itself off in March 2020 due to Covid.

Australians and some others were allowed to return from late last year, but most foreigners have had to wait.

A European Parliament member has compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to a communist "dictator" following his decision to enact emergency powers to quell anti-government protests.

"The prime minister of Canada, the way he’s behaving right now, he’s exactly like a tyrant, like a dictator," MEP Cristian Terheș, of Romania, said during a speech to European Parliament in Brussels.

British broadcaster Piers Morgan says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is "behaving like a fascist" by invoking emergency powers and having police round people up who are peacefully protesting a "legitimate cause".

Ottawa Police secured the city's downtown with fencing on Sunday, local time, after two days of tense standoffs and 191 arrests ended the three-week demonstration.

Convoy organisers called for the remaining protesters to disperse on Sunday after police officers used pepper spray and stun grenades, while making dozens of arrests.

The owners of the Iconic Cafe, Enrico and Deborah Kuhn, near Parliament in Ottawa are being harassed by police and threatened with arrest for staying open while the Freedom Convoy was in the city.

Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe weighs in on a law enforcement operation in Ottawa to clear out trucks and anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators on 'The Next Revolution.'

Mayor Jim Watson said that he is directing his city’s solicitor and manager to begin the process of selling the confiscated vehicles so they don’t end up in the hands of the protestors again, in an interview with the CBC. He said Canada’s Emergencies Act gives the city the power to do so.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has shut down 39 trucking businesses following the end of the “Freedom Convoy” trucker-led protests in Ottawa, several weeks after the protests first began.

Over the past weekend, police forces made over 200 arrests and ended the protests, which Canadian Prime Minister described as an “illegal occupation” of the city’s downtown core. Ottawa Police state it has towed 115 vehicles during the protests.

The local ministry confirmed to TruckNews.com that it had released 12 suspension and seizure orders to Ontario-based large truck operators involved in the protests. The move effectively suspended their authority to operate throughout Canada. The ministry also issued an order to seize all license place registered to the trucking businesses.

Protesters from outside Ontario faced sanctions of their own in their local jurisdictions.

Overall, 27 seizure orders were issued to large truck operators from outside Ontario, banning them from operating any commercial motor vehicle within the province.

The ministry did not reveal the names of the sanctioned businesses, or the number of trucks affected by the move.
