None of that has occurred over the last four days,\u201d Sloly <a href=\"https:\/\/ottawa.ctvnews.ca\/all-options-are-on-the-table-to-end-truckers-protest-ottawa-police-chief-1.5760880\">said<\/a>, according to Canada\u2019s CTV, while asserting that police would act by any means necessary to end the event.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Sloly\u2019s remarks follow a bizarre speech by far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau \u2013 from an undisclosed location in which he is allegedly recovering from a Chinese coronavirus infection \u2013 in which he condemned the protesters as wearing \u201ctinfoil hats,\u201d compared them unfavorably to <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/7009152\/george-floyd-montreal-protest-police-brutality\/\">violent<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d protests, and equated receiving coronavirus vaccine products to \u201cwhat being Canadian is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trudeau has adamantly refused to address the protesters\u2019 concerns and dismissed them as a \u201csmall fringe minority\u201d that is representative of neither truckers nor Canadians generally.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cFreedom Convoy\u201d of thousands in Ottawa is demanding an end to all business, travel, education, and movement restrictions in the country.

It\u2019s our duty as Canadians to put an end to this mandates,\u201d the page reads. \u201cIt is imperative that this happens because if we don\u2019t, our country will no longer be the country we have come to love.&nbsp; We are doing this for our future Generations and to regain our lives back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sloly, the Ottawa police chief, <a href=\"https:\/\/ottawa.ctvnews.ca\/all-options-are-on-the-table-to-end-truckers-protest-ottawa-police-chief-1.5760880\">told<\/a> reporters that&nbsp;\u201call options are on the table, from negotiation through to enforcement,\u201d to end the event. He did not specify if lifting the mandates was among those options.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in the same briefing, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson asserted that he and his local government were \u201cdoing everything possible to bring this to an end peacefully.\u201d Unlike Sloly, he explicitly rejected using force to dislodge the peaceful assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get a lot of emails and tweets, why don\u2019t you just send in the tow trucks, send in the parking control people? We\u2019re not interested in inflaming the situation,\u201d Watson asserted. \u201cThe last thing we need is to have some behavior that creates a mini-riot. We don\u2019t want that to happen. We don\u2019t want to see bloodshed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watson urged the protesters to \u201cgive back our city to its residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt should have ended a long time ago. They\u2019ve made their point. They had their rally,\u201d Watson reportedly complained. \u201cThey embarrassed themselves with some of the actions of some of the people in the crowd, but it\u2019s now time for them to go home and allow our community to regroup and rebuild, particularly given the fact that we\u2019re still in the midst of a pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/31\/watch-thousands-brave-canadas-icy-winter-to-support-freedom-convoy\/\">Images<\/a> from the protests largely align with Sloly\u2019s assessment that the ongoing event has been peaceful. Reporters have caught protesters cleaning up public spaces they have used. Much of the activity in the heart of the city appears to be dancing and playing music, creating a celebratory atmosphere at odds with the mood created in the past two years in the country by the Trudeau administration\u2019s pandemic policies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Freedom Convoy participants clean and take care of the Terry Fox memorial in Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XBxyGX80Zv\">pic.twitter.com\/XBxyGX80Zv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1488252812395958278?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">-21C \/ wind chill -35C.
