Police are expecting the demonstrations to continue. Eli El\u002DChantiry says a sustainable solution to policing future convoy protests needs to be found.
Eli El-Chantiry said police are expecting more convoy protests in the future and a sustainable solution needs to be found.
But less was known about the intentions of other protesters not part of the core group who arrived in pickup trucks, big rigs, cars and camper vans.The relatively peaceful protest could have escalated if officers had not been so well-prepared, he said. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino thanked the police, including the RCMP, “for their decisive and effective response to the events in Ottawa over the weekend.”
The chair of the police board, which oversees the police service, said he had been briefed by interim chief Steve Bell.Over the weekend, 10 people were arrested, including seven who had taken part in the earlier “Freedom Convoy” protests and had breached court orders banning them from returning to Ottawa, El-Chantiry said.
Ottawa police drew lessons from the protests in February when throngs of protesters opposed to COVID-19 public health measures and the federal government choked Ottawa’s streets for weeks, the board chair said.“One size does not fit all,” El-Chantiry said. “This could happen any time, so we have to prepare and have the resources.”
The board chief said a plan — including a financial plan — was needed to deal with future protests, which show no sign of stopping.
