Ottawa police chief repeats call for more resources to end occupation

Ottawa's police chief says additional police resources on the ground are the key to cutting off fuel supplies, removing vehicles from the downtown core and ending the 14-day demonstration and occupation of downtown Ottawa.

"The more resources, the more reinforcements the safer and quicker we can end this unlawful and unsafe demonstration here in the city," said Chief Peter Sloly.

On Monday, the city of Ottawa sent a request to the federal and Ontario governments for an additional 1,800 officers and staff to assist the Ottawa police operation for the protest over COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures.

The RCMP has deployed 250 additional officers to Ottawa to assist the Ottawa Police Service. Sloly told reporters that staff are still in "very constructive and very productive discussions" with the RCMP, OPP and the 12 biggest police services in Ontario.

"We have information that indicates there will be other announcements in the next 24 to 48 hours," Sloly said, adding he is certain additional resources will be sent to Ottawa.

"There are a number of public order units that are coming from the GTHA police services that will be arriving today and over the weekend here in Ottawa for immediate deployment."

Twenty-five people have been arrested in connection with the "Freedom Convoy" demonstration in downtown Ottawa. Police say charges include public mischief, mischief, resisting police, and transportation of fuel.

An additional 1,775 tickets have been issued by police and bylaw for several infractions, including excessive noise and use of fireworks.

As of Thursday afternoon, 126 active criminal offence investigations are underway in connection to the demonstration.

This week, police have warned that people transporting fuel and materials will be arrested, and anyone blocking streets could be charged with mischief.

People are wondering why they still see fuel and materials being transported to vehicles inside the "Red Zone" outside of Parliament Hill.

"We are not able with the resources that we have right now to interdict all the sources of supports that are going to the demonstrators," said Sloly. "When we get more resources we will be able to take out fully those supply bases, we will be able to fully interdict those people bringing in gas canisters, we will be able to deploy enough resources to tag, tow and arrest those people who are committing bylaw offences, provincial offences and federal offences, particularly criminal code offences."

Twelve vehicles left the encampment at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium on Coventry Road on Thursday, while 10 trucks have departed the downtown core area.

As of Thursday afternoon, there are 400 vehicles remaining on Wellington Street and streets around Parliament Hill.

Police say an investigation is underway after a demonstrator refused to stop for an officer near Bank and Flora around 12 p.m. Thursday and struck a cruiser. No one was hurt.

As vehicles remain parked in downtown Ottawa, some vehicles have been holding convoys on street around the city. Just after 8 a.m., a group of 60 to 70 truck convoy protesters began driving slowly around the loop at the Ottawa International Airport and honking their horns.

One of the organizers said on a live feed of the demonstration that they planned to stay and slow-roll the airport for "hours."

An airport authority spokesperson said about 60 to 70 light trucks were circling the arrivals and departures roadways, and advised people with travel plans to give themselves extra time.

"Airport traffic is already extremely light due to the pandemic so the impact so far is minimal," Krista Kealey said in an email. "We are monitoring the situation with our security and airport policing teams and advise anyone who is travelling today to give themselves extra time to get to the airport."

"We are very disappointed that the protesters have chosen to disrupt an industry that has already been decimated by the pandemic," she added. "Disrupting our airport will hurt people who are already suffering, including passengers and employees who rely on our industry for their livelihood and wellbeing."

The roadways were clear by around 11 a.m.

The protesters' latest move came days after a judge granted a 10-day interim injunction to silence horn-honking downtown. However, that injunction only applies to a specific area in the city's core.

Ottawa police issued a warning Wednesday to protesters blocking downtown streets they could face criminal charges, and Bylaw Services is increasing fines for noise and idling violations in a bid to break up the demonstration that has gridlocked several downtown streets.

Trust me, I will not run out of ways to make this hurt: cancel their insurance; suspend their drivers licenses; prohibit any future regulatory certification for truckers, etc. Have we learned nothing? These things fester when there are no consequences.

Hereโ€™s a random idea - introduce a Bill into Parliament deeming the routes to international border crossings as essential to the economy and create an offence for blocking the route. Make the contravention of this be a $100,000 fine and jail.

Former Quebec premier Jean Charest courted by Conservative MP as possible leadership candidate

MP Alain Rayes confirms he's encouraged Charest to run, calling him a 'political machine'

Now that a race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada is unofficially under way, former Quebec premier Jean Charest is once again being floated as a possible candidate.

Alain Rayes, MP for Richmond-Arthabaska, who up until yesterday was the party's Quebec lieutenant, told Radio-Canada's Tout Un Matin Monday that he had already spoken to Charest about the idea and that he views him as a good candidate.

"He's a political machine, an exceptional speaker who knows Quebec and who, in my eyes, would be a formidable opponent for Justin Trudeau," Rayes said.

"Does Jean Charest still have the desire? That's a question you should ask him," Rayes said.

"But clearly, I can confirm that for many people in Quebec, Jean Charest could be a strong opponent to face Justin Trudeau in an upcoming campaign."

Charest will not be granting interviews, his assistant said.

Commander in charge of Kabul evacuation slams the White House and Jill Biden for being a 'distraction' during chaos: Claims high-profile pestering for special favors to get allies out slowed military down

 

Vasely said the Pentagon was being pulled in all different directions from Biden officials, lawmakers, members of the media and even the Vatican

He called the requests a 'distraction' that created competition for 'already stressed resources'

The Pentagon's standard priority had been to first evacuate American citizens, then lawful permanent residents, then Afghans who aided the U.S.

Demands poured in at such a high volume that Vasely felt the need to take certain forces away from the established rescue plan

 

Rear Adm. Peter Vasely, the top U.S. commander in Kabul during the evacuation, said that the withdrawal was made more chaotic by people like First Lady Jill Biden, Pope Francis, the White House and Congress calling in for special favors to help get out certain people.

Vasely said the Pentagon was being pulled in all different directions from Biden officials, lawmakers, members of the media and even the Vatican as it carried out the largest evacuation since Vietnam ahead of the Taliban takeover.

He called the requests a 'distraction' that created competition for 'already stressed resources.'

Vasely's declassified remarks, made public by a FOIA request from the Washington Post, came during testimony for a U.S. Army investigation into the Aug. 26 suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members and an estimated 170 Afghan civilians.

The Pentagon's standard priority had been to first evacuate American citizens, then lawful permanent residents, then Afghans who aided the U.S. throughout the war.

Demands poured in to the U.S. operations center in Kabul through emails, text messages and phone calls in such a high volume that Vasely, a Navy SEAL, felt the need to take certain forces away from the established rescue plan to form a 'coordination cell' to work on the special requests from Washington and beyond.

'You had everyone from the White House down with a new flavor of the day for prioritization,' Vasely told Army investigators.

The 2,000 page report, which contains dozens of interviews with military officials and details the evacuation from Aug. 15-31, reveals the deep frustrations the Pentagon had with the Biden administration's handling of the crisis.

The Army's lead investigator, Brig. Gen. Lance Curtis, asked Vasely whether it was true that First Lady Jill Biden and Pope Francis had called in to seek help for specific people who were in harm's way.

>There may be no real-world comparison between a blood-soaked monster like Ceauศ™escu and a bumbling ball-scratcher like Joe Biden, or an honorarium-gobbling technocrat like Hillary Clinton, or a Handsome Dan investment banker like Emmanuel Macron, or an effete pseudo-intellectual like Justin Trudeau. Still, the ongoing inability of these leaders to see the math of populist uprisings absolutely recalls that infamous scene in Bucharest.
