Radical leftist and Ottawa Mayor, Jim Watson, has said downtown Ottawa is “out of control” as the truckers’ convoy protest and occupation is now in its 10th day.
Hundreds of trucks remain parked on Parliament Hill and throughout the Parliamentary Precinct this morning. Police and city officials are urging people to avoid the downtown core, and have warned roads and interprovincial bridges could be closed again today to curb traffic inflow.
Speaking on radio this morning, Watson said it’s apparent the protesters have taken over the core.
“The situation at this point is completely out of control because the individuals with the protest are calling the shots,” he said. “They have far more people than we have police officers and I’ve indicated to the chief that we have to be much more nimble and proactive when it comes to these activities.”
On Saturday, Ottawa’s police chief also admitted the force doesn’t have enough resources to address the situation.
“We do not have sufficient resources to adequately and effectively address this situation while adequately and effectively providing policing in this city,” said Chief Peter Sloly.
“It’s not a demonstration, it’s not an occupation, it’s something and we don’t have a Police Act that can adequately or effectively address this circumstance,” said Sloly.
From our standpoint at Elect Conservatives, this is brilliant news. Mayor Watson and his band of police officers in Ottawa unfairly forced the confiscation of the truckers’ funds from GoFundMe, but the truckers have remained in the city – along with thousands of Canadian patriots – and the city has no clue what to do.
It’s also ironic that the city of Ottawa has been pro-lockdown for the past two years, but now, they are up in arms about truckers inadvertently locking down their city to fight for freedom.
Keep on trucking, patriots.
