Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly promised "more boots on the ground" in remarks and Friday and urged protesters not to come to Ottawa but he did not share details about potential police deployments.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in the Canadian province on Friday and both he and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned of "consequences" for protesters.
Sloly told reporters on Friday that intelligence suggested that the protest this weekend could be as large as last week, which saw around 5,000 protesters and 1,000 trucks in the city.
"Our message to you is do not come," Sloly said to potential protesters.
"And if you do commit unlawful acts, there will be consequences," he said.
The police chief added: "These unlawful demonstrators are executing a very complex, very fluid, very sophisticated operation."
Ottawa Deputy Police Chief Steve Bell also urged potential demonstrators not to come to city and warned of consequences for any illegal activity.
"Don't come. You're not welcome here," Bell said. "There will be consequences for any illegal activity. Our residents are frustrated and angry, they're fed up with the unlawful occupation and are demanding action. Unlawful activity—from spitting on the sidewalk to hate crimes—will be strictly enforced."
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson spoke to CNN on Friday night and suggested that demonstrators had turned the protest area into a "dump" that would need to be cleaned out.
"Clearly they're not making any progress. They're just annoying people," Watson said.

MSM loves “boots on the ground” when they control them.
Sounds like a bugle call for reinforcements, trucker reinforcements that is.
The Mounties are going to have to make up their minds soon about which side to be on.
You’d think the Canadian law enforcement would side with the freedom truckers like so many others have. Apparently their pay, their wallets and pensions mean more to them than freedom.
Especially Jack boots.
Very stylish while goose stepping. No honking allowd though.
LOL..... consider that stolen.
just like zoo animals ...
Ottawa Deputy Police Chief Steve Bell also urged potential demonstrators not to come to city. "Don't come. You're not welcome here," Bell said.
Of course, if the Protestors go to Ottawa they won't be at home for those 3:00 AM Jackboot Raids Sloly and Bell are salivating for.
WINDSOR, Ontario (AP) — A tense standoff at a U.S.-Canadian border crossing crucial to both countries’ economies appeared to be dissolving peacefully Saturday as Canadian police moved in to disperse the nearly weeklong blockade and demonstrators began leaving without resistance.
Many demonstrators drove away from the Ambassador Bridge spanning the river between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, as scores of police approached shortly after dawn. They had spent the night there in defiance of new warnings to end the blockade, which disrupted the flow of traffic and goods and forced the auto industry on both sides to roll back production.
Ok, so honking horns have broken a misdemeanor noise nuisance law. However, police confiscating fuel should be highly illegal.
“...... forced the auto industry on both sides to roll back production.”
Effing liars. Lack of chips for their crappy computer controllers is the reason for production rollbacks.
What ever happened with support the police?
The truth is..most rank and file cops will follow orders.
Saw that in the BLM protests where they were told to stand aside and let the scum destroy entire areas of their cities, and now we get to see where they are following orders to disperse what amounts to completely peaceful protestors trying to force a tyrannical government to stand down.
Want to guess which side most police will be on if a full blown civil war breaks out?
The question is, will they keep the uniforms they have now
or will they choose an old standard grown infamous over time.
Cooper and Watson have a lot in common.
You’re posting propaganda.
“Our message to you is do not come,” Sloly said to potential protesters... because if you do, we will be forced to threaten you with hollow threats just like we did the truckers, and you wouldn’t want that on your consciences now woild you?”
Just watch live

Unfiltered. No media control lies.

Great point.
