Ottawa's interim police chief Steve Bell has promised to rebuild the community's trust in the municipal force after a protest that filled the capital's streets with honking, diesel fumes and roadblocks has come to an end.

Crowds of protesters moved in with big-rigs and other vehicles in late January to protest the federal Liberal government, vaccine mandates and COVID-19 restrictions.

Ottawa police faced widespread criticism for failing to remove the protesters or enforce city bylaws, and allowing the streets of downtown to succumb to what many officials described as a state of lawlessness. In the midst of the turmoil, Police Chief Peter Sloly resigned, the chair of the police oversight board was removed and several other members left in solidarity.

Bell says the service plans to continue internal investigations into inappropriate police conduct related to the illegal protests, and will develop a use-of-force review committee. Bell says it's natural that questions have been raised about the direction of the service, and that the organization is focused on "cultural and systemic change."

Basically it means a curtailment of freedoms will be permanent. Klaus Schwab must be masturbating to this news

“Sure”

Since it was a protest first involving federal restrictions, hence going to Ottawa, how many times did a member of federal leadership attempt to have conversation? With other federal protest… there were group sit downs. Why not in this case? Let’s not put all blame on ottawa p

Yes, we should prevent people from criticizing the government in the first place so they don't even get a chance to block a street.

See Canada does what Putin does best to protesters arrest them on fake charges leave them in jail for over a month yet rapists and gang members get easy bail release same day

Breaking news Canada sending lethal poison weapons to ukraine.guess what get ready for ww3 nuke war

And I vow to never not speed.

Was free to make a comment or post here too 🤣🤣🤣

So the protestors did shine a light (which should have been apparent after a few days!) And opposite of what many were trying to do! People of Canada are strong and will not accept bias and racism and this protest proves that!!

If anyone knows what the protests were about on weekend please let us know since most mandates were lifted now ....😏😏🤣🤣

It was -20C that first weekend. Water cannons turned on full blast could have broken up the whole occupation in 60 minutes.

Woke buzzwords. But in reality:

Police Chief Mad Man Steve Bell will be a thrill to watch! lol

Need more diversity training 😂

FIRST READING: So, is Ottawa still going to insist on that carbon tax increase?Welcome Ukrainian refugees!

Some Ottawa businesses reserving times for vaccinated customers only | CBC NewsOntario businesses are no longer required to check someone's vaccine status at the door. However, some businesses in Ottawa say they plan to reserve times to serve vaccinated customers only. Good for them 😀 their right and freedom to do so 😀 If you (like me) are vaccinated then why would you care if the stranger next to you isn't? Are you worried your vaccine might not work to protect you? Serious questions! I can see it becoming vaccinated or not sections. Like they used to have smoking or non smoking.

Opinion | As food prices soar, it’s time for Ottawa to stop automatic beer tax hikesAs food prices soar, it’s time for Ottawa to stop automatic beer tax hikes. Chronic labour shortages, supply chain disruptions and rising costs are compounded by the federal government’s annual automatic hike in beer taxes. Opinion Interesting article. Curious though that so many companies are making record profits but blame price increases on inflation and supply chain issues. Starbucks for one, Loblaws is another, but people only seem to blame the govt. Have a shot of vodka My husband and I were deeply disappointed to discover recently that Beau's Brewery beausallnatural had struggled during the pandemic in spite of our continuing regular purchase of their Lug Tread Lager these past 2 years and had been sold to SteamWhistle.
