Police and Canadian Heritage held a technical briefing today on plans for July 1 in which media were only allowed to participate on the condition that officials not be named

Heritage says this year’s Canada Day celebrations will largely take place in LeBreton Flats Park in the city, along with events taking place in Place des Festivals Zibi in Gatineau.

The Ottawa police officer says it will get support from other municipal, provincial and federal police services, but will not discuss what services or level of support it is getting. Ottawa and Gatineau police discussed their security plans as groups opposed to COVID-19 restrictions are planning to gather throughout downtown Ottawa and Parliament Hill for Canada Day.

Good

Make this the best darn Canada Day and Freedom protest you can muster, and have fun. They'll hate that. Especially bouncy castles. Bring that too.

DrJudithGlennie Keep the knuckle dragging freedumb a holes out of Ottawa.

I wonder if that means they will arrest people without cause, or failing that, trample them!

What does that exactly mean? We pay these Brown Shirts wages. They work for us, and they better start. They don't work for the corporations, they don't work for the government,they work for us. The government should work for us as well. They better start.

As it should

Globe and mail sucks. Pure trash

🇨🇳🇨🇦🇨🇳 Oh Chinada

Ladies and gentlemen this is your preview to a totalitarian police state! For your safety please refrain from free thought, opinions, and expression!

Come to Ottawa losers. The counter protest movement grows by the minute here. Go occupy your love for Russia and the US right at your local welfare offices or liquor stores. No one cares about your grievances anymore (whatever they are this time).

Freedumb convoy is trying to hold us hostage

cindylynn_ Release the Kracken and start kracken skulls. Yeehaw!

People need to hear our jackboots or democracy dies. rcmp

Will there be horses too?

Sounds like the police are getting ready to trample fun loving Canadians once again. This is the peoples country. Don’t forget it. We will never be Beijing.

When did national pride become a crime and warrant unnecessary unprecedented police presence?

Security? Like this?👇👇

Everything in Canada is 'unprecedented' since 2015. Glad when we get the 'real' Canada back again.

I’ll believe it when I see it. The OttawaPolice certainly let the Ottawa citizens down in February. Prove me wrong! 🪶😡🇨🇦

Don't let them just 'move' their protests over a block or two - or even into another neighbourhood and set up camps. Protesting is an 'on foot' event, & ppl shld book campsites at private campgrounds/hotels for overnight stays.

Ottawa police have to understand, this is not a protest coming to Ottawa, this is a sit in for all summer. Where is the RCMP when we need them? They are staying in Ottawa until Trudeau resigns or is dead. It's been tweeted over and over again. Ottawa police suck

I bet there’s even a planned COVID infection to be announced by the PMO

Guess we need an 'unprecedented' turnout

Slow your roll. Everything will be okay 🙄 jeez

Woooo jackboot time!

Why not use EmergencyMeasuresAct ? It will stop people from gathering and being loud. It will also stop the need for fireworks. Just make sure it gets cancelled before the pesky Senate can vote on it.😉 SenatorWallin SenatorHousakos WellesDavid

Why? Ottawa uselessly overused police resources and spent all that money for nothing during the peaceful biker rally. ...Meanwhile the same weekend violent anti-capitalism protestors were smashing windows and assaulting people in Montreal without a police officer to be found.

Disgusting

The City of Ottawa - like all cities in Canada - deserves to celebrate a peaceful & family-friendly environment on Canada day. Swastikas, f%*k Trudeau signs, public verbal abuse of police officers & citizens & profanity is not in keeping with this. MayorOttawa PierrePoilievre

yep, tear gas, riot gear, fully automatic weapons, body armour, horses standing one block away, armoured personnel carriers. Yep, nothing says Canada like the coming picture of the cops 'protecting' us all from, ahh from, ahh .... I got nothin!

MerlinofCanada Bwahahaha to OttawaPolice riiiiiiight

Lots of overtime !

I will take your unprecedented and raise you unvaccinated.

Why is this cowardish attitude OP? How long do you think you oppress peaceful protesters? TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada

What in the holy f**** are they protesting now

I wonder if the Ottawa police will have grown balls by then .

Triggered by a dictatorial liberal government constantly treating citizens like peasants!

RCMP Bullies in riot gear,guns

Ottawa storm troopers ready to trample your rights and freedom!!

This country is turning into a police state. You may not agree with some Canadians, but their still Canadians. 'A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian' - Justin Trudeau (On allowing actual convicted Terrorists trying to re-enter Canada).

There should be a laugh out loud button on Twitter

Trudeaus storm troopers will have a field day. All those natives, old people and kids to bully. Maybe a few more bank accounts to close, while the emperor junior hides

Perfect. Keep the MAGA wannabes away.

Trudeau is ready... Bring on those degenerates!

In other words, they will be stomping more civilians?

Nothing says love your Country like tear gas and trampling.

That whole province isn't even Canada anymore.

Horse trampling time again?!

Is there a reason why your Twitter feed will not recognize me as a subscriber but instead wants me to always sign in?

PEDOPHILE PUBLIC EAR WATCH is looking for the signs of TRAUMA & ABUSES that may be visible on the outside of the body to potentially help identify people that may need help

Will we have Police snipers on the roof like Harper did for Remembrance Day🤔 CdnMAGA Domestic Terrorists Insurrection Terrorists Treason Traitor woke

Security? From what? Canada's biggest threat lies within the hearts of Liberals.

I hope it sees an unprecedented Canadian patriotic response as well

Send in the storm troopers.

RealAndyLeeShow they are really scared of you lol!

Is the OttawaPolice asking JustinTrudeau for the EmergenciesAct again to beat and trample Canadians? Canada cdnpolitics cdnpoli

Skippy will go in with the donuts *again* and distract. & the hogs will set up shop again.

Be safe, avoid Ottawa during Canada day. 🇨🇦

CanadaSOS1 Gosh I would hope so. Wouldn’t want things to get too noisy for all those residents of Ottawa.

Gotta respond like jackboot marchers in red square. Nothing less will be nearly coercive enough. Guns, In our streets. In Canada. Under Trudeau. On Canada Day.

Is that threat? Lol HonkHonk TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada

Nothing will get down. We saw how that worked out last winter.

CanadaSOS1 Oh , more horse trampling ?

All the Ford appointees are gone now, so the force can function properly.

The answer is always more totalitarian mesures. They are really scared! Good!
