During an hours-long community briefing, Chief Sloly said his police service could not realistically stop thousands of protestors or hundreds of trucks and cars from entering Ottawa.
The truckers oppose a recent mandate requiring drivers entering Canada to be fully vaccinated or face testing and quarantine requirements. The group is also protesting against other health restrictions, like mask mandates and Covid-19 lockdowns.The ongoing protest by Canadian truckers over Covid-19 health restrictions is now an “unlawful” occupation of the country’s capital, Ottawa officials said on Wednesday, adding it may take the military’s help to bring it to an end.
Though the number of trucks and protesters in the city has dwindled, Sloly warned residents he expects more will return to the capital by the weekend. “There is no lawful authority to seal a city, there’s no practical capability to seal a city of this size,” Sloly said, noting it would take a police force of 50,000 to even attempt it.
A GoFundMe page for the “Freedom Convoy” has now raised nearly $8 million US, making it one of the highest earning causes in Canada, according to the organization. A similar trucker protest thousands of miles away in the province of Alberta continued Wednesday with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police saying they continue to try to negotiate with protesters.
Horns have blared almost continually downtown for five days and traffic has impeded many from getting food and medical attention.Charities in particular have said the most vulnerable residents in the city are suffering trauma.
