Ontario declares ‘state of emergency’ over trucker blockades
Protesters show their support for the Freedom Convoy of truck drivers who are making their way to Ottawa to protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates by the Canadian government on Jan. 27, 2022, in Vaughan.
Ontario has declared a state of emergency as bottlenecks on the US-Canada border worsen due to protesters in trucks in front of Parliament in Ottawa. Also, Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva made history by being the first woman to land a quadruple jump in the Olympics. Now, the 15-year-old is making headlines after her drug test came back positive. Plus, a 60-year-old museum security guard in Russia drew eyes on painter Anna Leporskaya’s “Three Figures,” using a ballpoint pen, on his first day on the job.
