"Our goal is to end the demonstration"
OTTAWA POLICE CHIEF PETER SLOLY SPEAKS AT NEWS CONFERENCE-2/4/2022-FULL VIDEO 31 MINUTES OTTAWA POLICE CHIEF PETER SLOLY 2/4/2022
The Ottawa police chief laid out the notion of an all out crackdown on protesters using all available laws including financial, traffic and insurance rules.
Peter Sloly also using the expression:
"surge and contain"
to describe future actions by law enforcement in Ottawa. Local police will get support from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Is this a Declaration of War on the trucker convoy protest?
CANADA'S REBEL NEWS DISCUSSED THE MATTER IN A MID-DAY LIVE STREAM...REBEL NEWS-RUMBLE VIDEO
An informed observer of Canada's scene sees the hand of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau behind the ostensible actions of a local government announced today.
In 1970 his father imposed Canada's War Powers Act in the face of kidnapping and murder by the "Front for the Liberation of Quebec" and he ended up putting some of his own left-wing friend behind bars.
One wonders what his son Justin Trudeau intends to do to his enemies in the coming hours?
Offering up an explanation on Twitter today Ezra Levant publisher of "Rebel News":
"Pierre Trudeau brought in martial law in 1970 when the FLQ terrorists started murdering, kidnapping and bombing their way through Quebec.
Justin Trudeau is bringing in martial law in 2022 because some truckers are honking their horns too much.
He really is Castro's boy"

At that news conference this morning the chief of the Ottawa Police Service Peter Sloly also said any officers who provide support to the truckers will be investigated...RUMBLE VIDEO
Use of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to support the Ottawa Police brought up by Sloly other police agencies have been present in Ottawa in recent days from other parts of Ontario. The Ontario Provincial Police ostensibly under the control of "Conservative" Premier Doug Ford not mentioned apparently but they could certainly provide personnel in the hundreds.
There's talk of protest down in Toronto this weekend and the first trucks already in the streets of Quebec City to protest provincial COVID vaccine passports and restrictions.
Out west the blockades in Alberta with the RCMP heavily deployed to deal with that.
Here's a live video stream from the streets in Ottawa at around 1 pm local time Eastern US time...OTTAWA TRUCKER CONVOY PROTEST LIVE VIDEO 2/4/2022 AFTERNOON
Today Marco Mendicino, the Minister of Public Safety in Prime Minister Trudeau's government, saying among other things that:
"we are hearing many many reports very disconcerting reports about young women who are being harassed or are being intimidated..."
He also says:
"the prospect for confrontation remains high"...
And there's plenty more drama from both Mr. Mendicino and the Ottawa Police Service we in the US have heard this kind of talk ad infinitum in connection with the January 6th, 2021 events at the US Capitol.
Now at 220 pm local time US Eastern time live video from Ottawa:
OTTAWA TRUCKER CONVOY PROTEST FRIDAY 2/4/2022 LIVE VIDEO STREAM 2 PM AFTERNOON
I was looking at the video the protesters shoveled the snow around their vehicles on Wellington Street near Parliament following the inch or so that fell last evening.
Does the crackdown start at nightfall or is it in the cards for tomorrow when a larger crowd is expected?
I estimate the crackdown is best done when the crowds are sparse like Friday night after Midnight???
Just thinking out loud.
One expectation I have is that police will try to shut down the food supplies offered on the streets for protesters, the fuel for the trucks, the DEF etc. etc.
More will be posted tonight but just to get the message out the coming hours could see a series of actions to slow down or shut down tomorrow's large crowds.
The closing of parking garages, the closing of highways, police checkpoints on highways and or sidewalks. The shutdown of public transportation like commuter rail systems, buses etc.
It's been seen in France with the Yellow Vests and in Australia with protests opposing coerced vaccination and lockdowns for example.
NEWS ALERT: CONCRETE BARRIERS TO BE ERECTED NEAR PARLIAMENT, LARGE EQUIPMENT USED TO BLOCK STREETS.
TRUCKS WILL BE DIRECTED AWAY FROM DOWNTOWN OTTAWA TO DESIGNATED PARKING
POLICE ARE CONSIDERING CLOSING OFF BRIDGES AND HIGHWAY-OFF RAMPS...(NATIONAL POST CANADA)

There are now concrete barriers visible in the city across from the Marriott Hotel at the intersection of Kent and Queen Streets I see two of them in this live stream.
COUNTER PROTEST PLANNED SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN OTTAWA WITH ORGANIZER SOUNDING VERY INCENDIARY
People who want to oppose the trucker convoy protest plan to gather at Ottawa City Hall at 2 pm tomorrow afternoon.
Police have asked the group to not rally or march they cited COVID but also expressed fears of a clash with the COVID restrictions protest.
The rhetoric of organizer Mackenzie Demers very left-wing describing the protest against the truckers as an anti-hate protest speaking to the "Ottawa Citizen" about:
"the terrorists occupying our city center"
Police estimating the possibility of one thousand protesters gathering for the leftist demonstration.
OTTAWA CITIZEN NEWS STORY
Will this group be used to create the chemistry for the truckers protest to be shut down?
Stay Tuned.
Good Night. Unplugged Post with its usual classic music and powerful commentary plus any news updates from Ottawa and elsewhere starts on Saturday morning along with the weekly look at politics and protest in France focused on opposition to the vaccine passport right now.
Well this should be a simple mop up operation: Trudeau told us there are just a few there from some fringe group.
ReplyDeleteShould be a mop up with two patty wagons, there, all fixed.
Someone please tell Justin that they've all been cleared, all set.
