Prime Minister says ending trucker convoy by calling in the military is "not in the cards."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he won't call in the military to end the trucker convoy in Ottawa, nor will he meet with demonstrators still in the city.

Protestors began arriving in Ottawa last Friday to speak out against vaccination requirements and other public health measures.

Trudeau telling reporters today he has no plans to negotiate with demonstrators calling for an end to regulations.

The Prime Minister has been under increasing pressure to intervene, with suggestions ranging from having the RCMP play a more prominent role to calling in the armed forces.
