Ottawa's chief of police suggested Wednesday that the Canadian Armed Forces might have to be called in to handle the lingering protesters in the Canadian capital.
"This is a national issue, not an Ottawa issue," Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly said in a briefing to city councilors. "I am increasingly concerned there is no policing solution to this."

“I thought the military told the Mayor to “pound sand”....”
I heard it too. I hope the military still has some honor.
He will regret the move.
He must think truckers are dumb. Big mistake.
Where does the Chief of Police get the authority to call in the military? Article title insinuates that.
Yep, worst case they all drive home and park 'em.
Rather doubt there are 50K+ surplus rig drivers in Canada to replace them.
Well, yeah, assuming he sticks with his current clotshots-to-the-max program Trudeaux’s rock meets his hard place. But he could come out shining bright if he gets a-head out of his-butt and cancels the mandate stuff. But commie sympathetic dumbos don’t seem to have a learning curve-—it’s a flat line into said rock.
Non-violent protest - and they need to bring in the military?
I’m saying, I’m on the side of the truckers, but folks need to cool off and actually listen to what the man said in its entirety. He’s doing his job, professionally, and his bosses are trying to get him to unleash the hounds.
Good commentary in #16 .. thanks.
It’s a no win situation for the vax Nazis in both Canada and the US.
His employers (the citizens) could mandate a shot for him too. Has he thought about that?
“I doubt very much a police chief can call in the military. I imagine he could make a request at best.”
Yes. If a police chief, then why not a city councilman or the president of the Parent Teacher’s Association? Pretty sure the military would tell him to pound sand.
Thanks for the clarifications.
Trudeau is mental case from all the years smoking WEED
And don’t most truckers involved in this own their own rigs?
I’d bet people will continue sending the truckers money.
Have the mother truckers assaulted the capital yet. You know insurrected it.
The Kanadian government citing law is comical. Let them cite the laws that protect civilians from forced experimentation. The Clot Shot mandates are nothing but tyranny.
Politicians love to pick up the phone and order someone to make their problems go away.
A friend of mine who works for the Mounties in Ottawa told me that the city would have to appeal to the Province for military forces. He says it’s never gonna happen. No, the Chief can’t call in the military, and he doesn’t want to. Nor can the City Council who are demanding military intervention.
