Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson talked about the upcoming "Rolling Thunder" motorcycle convoy coming to demonstrate in the city this upcoming weekend.

He explained some of the measures that the Ottawa police will be taking, including the development of an "enhanced operation plan." This is meant to manage the event, which includes the establishment of a motor-vehicle exclusion zone and protesters not being allowed to drive into the downtown core.

Plus, Interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell said the force learned "a lot" in managing protests in the city following the previous trucker convoy occupation earlier this year.

This upcoming weekend, up to 400 motorcycles are expected to demonstrate in Ottawa in what they call the "Rolling Thunder" protest, with several rallies planned on Parliament Hill.
