Ottawa Mayor Can Sell Protest Trucks Using Emergencies Act; Freeland Affirms Cities Have Certain Powers

 

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson had told the CBC on Feb. 19 that his city has the power to sell the vehicles due to the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 14.

“We actually have the ability to confiscate those vehicles and sell them,” he said, adding that “I want to see them sold. I don’t want the return to these people who’ve been causing such frustration and angst in our community.”
