“That’s why it was time limited, it was restricted, it was restrained, it was proportional and it got the job done,” he said. “I can’t call them and say get your asses in there and kicking ass. It’s up to the OPP,” Ford is noted as saying. He later promised to be up police’s “ass with a wire brush.” “There has to be a serious reckoning afterward. If you need tow trucks, we’ll get the US to help, and it’ll be embarrassing for us but if the US is offering, we need to take it,” he’s recorded as saying.
The inquiry heard from OPP Supt. Dana Earley, who was appointed critical incident commander in charge of the Windsor operation on Feb. 9 and led it through the end.
