Ottawa City Official: Contracted Tow Trucks Refuse to Remove ‘Freedom Convoy’
Tow truck companies, contracted by the City of Ottawa, are refusing all of the requests to take heavy vehicles associated with the “Freedom Convoy” from the downtown area, according to city manager Steve Kanellakos who told reporters on Monday.
The top city official explained that all of the tow truck operators from the list of companies the city typically uses to provide tow services have unilaterally said “no” to any request. Global News reported that the demonstrations are headed into the second week of protest.
“We’ve contacted them all and they’re all refusing … to provide heavy tow truck work,” Kanellakos said in a press conference. However, he explained that the tow truck operators are still doing “light” work, not heavy trucks and larger vehicles.
“Many of them or most of them don’t want to do the work, especially the heavy tow truck work, because they rely on the heavy truck industry for their livelihood and they don’t want to damage that part of their business,” Kanellakos explained.

Report: IRS to Stop Using Face-Recognition Tech Following Backlash
The IRS said the shift away from use of the facial-recognition technology will “occur over the coming weeks” to avoid disruptions during tax filing season, which is already facing a backlog of returns and paperwork. The plan had drawn criticism among civil liberties advocates and ordinary taxpayers over concerns that the system — which requires users to upload their ID and submit a selfie or video chat with an agent — could provide troves of personal information to hackers.

Trump tightens grip on RNC
Donald Trump and his allies are strengthening their hold on the Republican National Committee (RNC) amid a growing rift in the party between those who back the former president’s election fraud claims and those hoping to move on.
An RNC vote last week to censure two GOP Trump critics, Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) and Liz Cheney (Wyo.), as well as its description of the events of Jan. 6, 2021, as “legitimate political discourse,” sparked criticism from high-ranking members of the party.
But the vote also exposed the extent to which Trump’s most fervent supporters have consolidated power in the party’s highest echelon. Now, some Republicans fear the former president’s influence within the RNC could hamper efforts to recapture Congress in this year’s midterm elections and take back the White House in 2024.
