A former senior officer for the OPP says “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa could have been ended without the federal Emergencies Act.
Former Chief Supt. Carson Pardy told the public inquiry examining the invocation of the act Friday that plans to clear the protests were consistently delayed because of confusion and disorganization within the ranks of Ottawa police, and that the chief of police didn’t trust his OPP team.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.
Pardy said he and his team of experts on public order and emergency planning came from around the country to help, but it was clear that Sloly did not trust them. He said the force was not providing a supportive environment to its officers, and he didn’t see the integration between different police forces that was typical during previous major events in Ottawa.Article content
The Feb. 8 plan was aimed at ending the “Freedom Convoy” entirely, while the Feb. 9 plan would only end unlawful elements of the protest. Pardy said neither plan was complete. The Public Order Emergency Commission, an independent public inquiry required under the act, is examining the circumstances of that choice.
