...is Peter Sloly's excuse for abandoning his post and allowing Ottawa to be overrun and occupied by hooligans in this madness called a "truckers' convoy"?!?! Just heard him on TV talking about "everything we're doing" to make the city safe. Really??!!
Not according to all the people whose lives have been upended by mob rule. Hey, Peter, you're supposed to keep the peace and safeguard Ottawans -- not stand around chatting with them in an attempt to negotiate a settlement. You don't "negotiate" with terrorists, buddy. You bring them to heel using all the laws at your disposal. That's your job! Apparently, there was no plan in place -- in spite of the fact that everyone knew they were marauding across the country hell-bent on destruction and mayhem. His performance was a master class in how not to handle a protest.
Researching Chief Sloly I learned that he is from Kingston, Jamaica, and grew up in Scarborough. He also has a BA in Sociology from McMaster, which makes him lean towards time-wasting skills like negotiation and chatting. Here's a quote:
"Until policing stops being focused and driven on that reactive enforcement model, it will continue to be exponentially costly." With 1,480 officers on strength -- and another 150 being added as I type -- it's already "exponentially costly".
So, that's his problem, he has been trying to get away from enforcement and into....what? Talking. I bet that appealed to the "woke" commissioners during his interview. I bet the fact that he was Black also helped tip the affirmative-action scales. Who's on the Ottawa Police Board that hired him? Two ethnics, a couple of NDP-types, three "feminists" and a guy whose family I knew in Ottawa (Rockcliffe) when I was growing up. So, that tells you the mindset of this "woke" board.
For Chief Sloly, the rigs and chickens have come home to a very uncomfortable roost. In fact, they are actually building an illegal, permanent structure in Confederation Park and plan to settle in for the long haul until Trudeau lifts every vaccine mandate. And what's the chief doing about it? Crickets.
Too bad these genii don't seem to realize that health is a provincial matter about which Trudeau -- lucky boy -- can do nothing. A big "whew" must be emanating from his (non)sick bed in whatever remote cottage in which he happens to be holed up at the moment.
And where's the "Go Fund Me" $10.1 million? Who has that stashed away? Who's it destined for? One raider said he had spent "7 K on gas so far". Did the Go Funders cover that? Exactly.
And, as usual, where is the RCMP? Where is the OPP? Where is the QPP? All not doing their high-paying jobs.
The other thing that's on my mind is the spectacle of both Melanie Joly and Anita Anand traipsing over to the Ukraine to try and do something about Russia's threats. I bet that had Putin shaking in his boots. Were the two women in some kind of hissy fit competition? Why did one go right after the other? As usual, Canada looks like the ineffectual international it is -- an embarrassment on the world stage.
