Chief Eric Stubbs reiterated the Ottawa Police Service's position that no vehicle-based protests will be allowed in the city as the first anniversary of the Freedom Convoy demonstrations that clogged the downtown approaches.
'If someone attempts a vehicle-based protest then we will take action to dismantle it fairly quickly'Chief Eric Stubbs wouldn't give many specifics about what police are predicting in terms of the scale of potential protests. This file photo was taken in November 2022.
"Our goal is not to have a vehicle-based protest, and if someone attempts a vehicle-based protest then we will take action to dismantle it fairly quickly," Stubbs said. He also said he supports the idea of reopening Wellington Street, but that the security needs of the downtown core as a whole need to be reassessed by the agencies that are responsible for keeping them safe.
"Wellington Street is a piece of that, and I would prefer that all the issues are looked at in their totality," Stubbs said.
