" Nobody is doing anything there. We're all just standing there with our Canadian flags, we want freedom" protester Tyler Kok told The Bbc .
" I Heard one of The Cops say 'we're taking the trucks first' so I mean that's kind of The Beginning of The End . I was hoping it wasn't going to end like this, I was hoping The Police would allow us to continue to peacefully protest, " he added.

Many protesters planned to move on to Brussels - Home to several key EU institutions - to join up with a wider European movement based on The Canadian demonstrations. Brussels has also banned The Event .
