In addition, scenes of chaos in Canada have sparked similar protests in Israel, France, Australia, the Netherlands and New Zealand.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has to this end activated emergency powers, which have historically been very rarely used, to stop the protests that have paralyzed the capital, Ottova.
