Ottawa police procuring equipment ahead of possible ‘Freedom Convoy’ reboot: chief

Ottawa’s new police chief says his officers have already begun preparing for a possible reboot of the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protest next year, and vows there will not be a repeat of the occupation that took over downtown Ottawa for weeks last winter.

“We will be ready,” Chief Eric Stubbs told CTV News on Monday. “The ultimate goal of all this planning and preparing is to ensure that what happened last year doesn’t happen this year.”

“We feel that we’re in a place right now where given the information that we have, that our preparations are well in hand.”
