OTTAWA, Ontario—Hundreds of residents of the Canadian capital of Ottawa staged a counterprotest against the Freedom Convoy on Feb. 13, trapping 20 vehicles of pro-trucker convoy protesters on a road, saying they want the demonstrators who have gridlocked the city’s downtown area for more than two weeks to leave.

The trucker protests are part of a larger movement against the government’s COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.
