Ottawa Police Chief Resigns After Failing To Shut Down Trucker Protests


Ottawa’s chief of police resigned on Tuesday amid criticism of his handling of protests that have overwhelmed downtown Ottawa, Canada’s center of government, for nearly three weeks.

Multiple Canadian news outlets and an Ottawa city councilor reported Tuesday that Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly resigned his commission and plans to announce his resignation at a Tuesday meeting of the Ottawa Police Services Board. Sloly’s resignation comes a day after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to take extra measures to counter protesters.

Canadian Government Cracks Down On Truckers’ Finances




1) Canadian Government Cracks Down On Truckers’ Finances

The Topline:
On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he was invoking emergency measures to clamp down on protesters of COVID-19 restrictions, a move that’s now sparking significant backlash.

Quote Of The Day: “This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades. We are today serving notice: if your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen.”

– Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland



Bank Freeze

One declaration from Trudeau’s government raising concern is that the government now has the right to take control of protester’s personal bank accounts. It’s the latest in a string of attempts to financially isolate the protesters.

Earlier this month, GoFundMe took down a page accepting donations in support of the protesting truck drivers. Donor data was then leaked from crowdfunding site GiveSendGo, as officials moved to freeze the $8 million in funds that had been raised to that point.

Through these emergency powers, Trudeau’s government is now empowering banks and financial institutions to freeze the accounts of any person or business suspected of being involved with an “illegal blockade.”

Freedom Convoy Organizer Arrested in Canada



"Barber, who is currently in police custody and is expected to face criminal charges, has been described as one of the key leaders of the protest in Ottawa, which has now hit the three-week mark," CBC News reports. "Earlier this month, Barber responded to criticism the protest was negatively affecting Ottawa residents by saying organizers had 'empathy' for local residents. 'We understand your frustration and genuinely wish there was another way for us to get our message across, but the responsibility for your inconvenience lies squarely on the shoulders of politicians who have [preferred] to vilify and call us names rather than engage in respectful, serious dialogue,' he said at the time."

"BREAKING: Freedom Convoy protest organizer Chris Barber got arrested in Ottawa as he was walking down the street."

And yet, here in America, the po-po still hasn't figured out that it's almost always easier and more efficient to wait until the suspected perps leave their houses to arrest them.

I'm truly amazed at the stronghand tactics being used by Canada. Not like them at all. Impending loss of dictatorial power can really bring out a person's true nature.
*FIFY*

The Canadian government is also freezing some crypto accounts. From what I have read, if you have crypto in a wallet held by something like Coinbase, the government CAN freeze your accounts.

gives you crypto account values if you yolo'd your $1200 stimmy. Canada sent out $2000 stimmies.

I'm not really surprised what the Canadian govt is doing. We'd like to think they have the same checks and balances as the US does, but they are more like the U.K. The govt can be as heavy-handed as they want and there's not really anything that can be done. It seems like the courts just rubber stamp the govts actions because that's the way the laws work there. And it will stay that way until Trudeu and the Liberal Party get booted.

But at least they'll be polite to you in the Ellesmere Island Gulags!
