Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said that he struck a deal with protest organizers to relocate.
“We have made a plan to consolidate our protest efforts around Parliament Hill. We will be working hard over the next 24 hours to get buy in from the truckers. We hope to start repositioning our trucks on Monday,” organizer Tamara Lynch wrote in a letter to Watson, released by his office Sunday.
It’s not clear if this will actually happen. The area directly in front of Parliament Hill is already clogged with protest vehicles. There is no fine line between the downtown core and residential areas in the center of the city.

Isn't that nice? They "struck a deal" and they're "working to get buy-in" from the cretins. Very considerate and civilized. But I can see this going sideways real quick if someone lights the fuse.
