Ottawa police militarize the city in anticipation of peaceful convoy protests
Despite the heavy hand of police and calls for strict crackdowns by local, provincial and federal politicians, the protests have been largely peaceful. Recently reported data even revealed a decline in police-reported crimes in Ottawa during the nine days the protest has gone on.
Police in the nation's capital have erected barricades, closed streets and promised to deploy a “surge and contain” strategy ahead of another wave of protesters joining the Freedom Convoy currently occupying a portion of Ottawa since late last week.
Still trying to figure out exactly what a “surge and contain” strategy means for the truckers/supporters here in Ottawa. No comment once again from an @OttawaPolice officer. #TruckersConvoy2022 https://t.co/8hpC710hZK pic.twitter.com/TGjVzRoSFQ

The Freedom Convoy is part of a Canada-wide movement of truckers, farmers and other supporters who are opposed to vaccine mandates and coronavirus restrictions that grew out of opposition to cross-border vaccination mandates for long-haul truckers.

Despite the heavy hand of police and calls for strict crackdowns by local, provincial and federal politicians, the protests have remained largely peaceful. A recent story from Blacklock's Reporter even revealed that police-reported crimes have declined in Ottawa over the nine days the convoy has been in the city.
More signs that the truckers/supporters aren’t going anywhere. Bouncy castles for children being set up down the road from parliament hill. #TruckersConvoy2022 https://t.co/8hpC710hZK pic.twitter.com/exQfzPJMwx

So many people on Parliament hill right now. It’s hard to walk through the crowd. @JustinTrudeau it’s time to end the mandates. #TruckersForFreedom2022 https://t.co/8hpC710hZK pic.twitter.com/RGv6k2JWyd

The “fringe minority” is back in full force today on Parliament hill. Thousands of people gathered here again in Ottawa today to support the truckers. #TruckersForFreedom2022 https://t.co/8hpC710hZK pic.twitter.com/0wAKOrLJC8
