OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson both accused Ontario Premier Doug Ford of shirking his duty in response to the 'Freedom
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson both accused Ontario Premier Doug Ford of shirking his duty in response to the “Freedom Convoy” that paralyzed the national capital’s downtown core, a public inquiry heard Tuesday.
“I think even a layperson like myself recognized that the Ottawa Police Service was outnumbered in terms of the resources they had,” Watson said, adding that they still had “a whole city” to police.“There was no question when you look back in hindsight at what happened, there were several failure points along the way, whether it was the city, provincial or federal governments.”
Watson shared his frustrations about Ford with Trudeau, according to a transcript and summary of a Feb. 8 phone call shared with the commission, and said Jones was being “disingenuous” about the number of Ontario Provincial Police officers who were being sent to respond. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino backed Ford’s insistence that the federal and provincial governments were in lockstep, saying Tuesday that they worked together to respond to “an unprecedented public order emergency.”
In retrospect, Watson said Tuesday, police should have installed jersey barriers early to prevent protesters from getting into the downtown area, particularly onto Wellington Street.
