Armed with new powers, police are working 'day and night' to end Ottawa occupation, minister says

"There's a lot of work that needs to be done,' says Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino

Public Safety Marco Mendicino sought to assure Ottawa residents Tuesday that the chaos in the city will soon end as local law enforcement, bolstered by the RCMP, works around the clock to restore order.

Empowered by the federal government's move to invoke the Emergencies Act, police will soon establish "no-go" zones in the city's downtown core to control unruly crowds associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy protest, the minister said. People who defy orders to leave, he added, will face fines of jail time, or both.

Mendicino said authorities will move with "great rapidity" to erect more concrete barriers and press private tow truck companies into removing the big rigs that have clogged Ottawa's streets.

To starve protesters of the money that supports their activities, banks and financial institutions will stop the flow of funds to all convoy organizers, he said.

The government is also threatening to suspend corporate bank accounts and commercial licensing for truckers taking part in the convoy...

What’s the problem? Just admit the mandates are wrong. And get on with life

“press private tow truck companies into removing the big rigs”

I wonder if by “press”, they mean to force into service, the way the British navy used to do, centuries ago.

Crypto-currency really cannot buy better advertisement

You can’t regulate, trace or lock it up.

I can’t imagine a better method of driving everyone to a cashless, crypto-currency than by seizing their bank accounts, for supporting a PEACEFUL PROTEST.

Occupation, is it? Apparently Canadians are no more welcome in their own capital than U.S. citizens are in ours. Can’t have the unwashed think that they matter...

“Sorry, all of my trucks are down for maintenance. It’s the darnedest thing, every one seems to need a major repair. I’d fire my mechanic for letting that happen but he went ice fishing.”

I don’t usually advocate promoting minorities for any cause, because it might be considered fascist…

…but in Canada, we have a huge minority population who are truckers and taxi drivers.

Put the minorities out front.

Claim racism when the “man” comes for you.

Peaceful minority truck drivers have the same right to claim such as BLM.

Any others from Calgary here? Do Indian immigrants get a voice in this democracy?

16 Feb: Radio New Zealand: Police concede tow truck operators unwilling to help with clearing roads near Parliament
The Police Commissioner admits some tow companies are reluctant to help with the removal of vehicles near Parliament but says some towing will begin today.
The anti-mandate protest on Parliament’s grounds and neighbouring streets is entering its ninth day...

A tow truck operator has told RNZ that the real reason the police have had difficulties getting towies to move vehicles is because many of them were sympathetic to the protesters’ cause.
Greg Cox, who owns Wellington’s Cox Heavy Salvage, said he had been contacted twice by police, and he had told them his vehicles were not available.
He said operators in the top half of the North Island were also refusing to help police.
Coster agreed that there had been some reluctance by tow companies to be involved...

Police are in touch with the Defence Force with a view to them helping with the removal operation...

Police said they would hold on to the vehicles they removed and probably the courts would decide what happened in terms of them being returned to their owners...

Police always work day and night. It’s call 24 hour shift coverage...7 days a week, 365 days a year.

“unruly crowds”

Dance parties and Bouncy Castles are NOT “unruly crowds.”

I swear, these Satanic psychopaths never came across a LIE they didn’t like.

Meaning that if you don't do it, you will labeled part of the occupation. You will be arrested and your property will be seized per tradeau's new emergency powers.

Antifa/BLM and their enablers must be having a good laugh at all of this.
