Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference this morning to address the protests going on in Ottawa. The conference was remote as Trudeau announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will continue to work remotely while following all public health guidelines.

During the press conference, Trudeau said he will not go

"anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric and violence towards their fellow citizens."

Trudeau went on to say

"We have seen over the past many, many months Conservative politicians sharing disinformation about vaccines, encouraging conspiracy theories online, and I think Erin O'Toole is going to need to reflect very carefully on how he's walking a path that supports these people who do not represent truckers, let alone the vast majority of Canadians."

Some of the protesters have vowed to stay at Parliament Hill until all pandemic-related restrictions have been fully removed.

An Alberta clipper is set to bring a mix of winter weather to southern and central portions of Manitoba beginning Monday morning.

The system will move across southern Manitoba on Monday bringing a swath of heavy snow from the Parklands region eastwards towards the Ontario border and south towards the Trans Canada Highway. The axis of heaviest snow will include the Parklands and Interlake district over to the Whiteshell and up to Berens River. Storm-total snowfall accumulations through these areas of 5 to 15 cm are possible.

As the clipper moves to the east Monday evening, strong northerly winds will develop over the region with gusts of 70 to 80 km/h likely. These strong winds, combined with freshly fallen snow, will produce a widespread area of blowing snow and is likely to result in a deterioration of travel conditions.

Additionally, a risk of freezing rain is possible primarily south of the Trans Canada in southwestern regions Monday morning into Monday afternoon.

Conditions will improve Tuesday afternoon as the winds gradually diminish. Behind this system, another surge of arctic air will move into the Prairies. Overnight lows will drop to near minus thirty midweek, and likely remain below seasonal through the weekend.
