Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ruled out calling in the country’s army to evict the protesters from the capital city, Ottawa, according to media reports.

Trudeau, who is Covid-19 positive, has been relocated to an undisclosed location as a precaution as protests continue in Ottawa by those opposing Covid-19 health restrictions.

“It is not on the cards right now. We have to be extremely cautious while deploying the military in situations against Canadians. It is up to the police to deal with the agitators. However, the federal government is ready to provide support from federal police and intelligence services to the provincial governments,” Trudeau said in a press briefing, according to a Hindustan Times report.

He asked the protesters to go back home as their protest has already caused ‘significant disruptions’ to the residents of the city.

The remarks from the prime minister came after Peter Sloly, the Ottawa police chief, suggested  that the government may have to summon armed forces to end the stir, according to reports.

“I’m increasingly concerned that there’s no policing solution to this. We’re considering every option, including military aid to civil power,” reports quoted Sloly as saying.
