Premier Doug Ford says he was extremely disturbed to see some individuals desecrate national monuments and wave swastikas and other symbols of hate while protesting COVID-19 measures and vaccine mandates in Ottawa this weekend.
Ford says such behaviour has no place in Ontario or Canada.
Ottawa police have said several criminal investigations are underway into actions _ including the desecration of monuments _ during the protest.
The Parliament Hill protest -- which saw a convoy of truckers and their supporters head to Ottawa last week -- has entered its third full day.
