Was met with a COOKIES wall at that link... any way of telling us what it says?
The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) and the Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) are on scene at Parliament Hill for a barricaded man in the area of East Block.
"There is a large police presence in the area. East Block has been evacuated," OPS said in a social media post late Saturday afternoon.
"There are no known injuries and police continue to deal with an individual in this ongoing incident that began just before 3 p.m. [ET]," the police force added.
Thanks. Given that it's Canada, the barricaded man might be armed with an insulting tweet, and he's not afraid to insult again.
I thought there may have been a trucker spotted in the area. Maybe honking too. The bar is low for what they consider a threat.
Another sleepless night for the Politicians in Ottawa, then.
And here I was thinking Justin left town. Guess I was wrong.

Should have been Canadian Parliament Locked Up.
About 4 hours in and this is the latest update:
"Police have brought in a robot to deal with the situation, and a large police truck has been ushered through the security roadblock."
