OTTAWA, Ontario -- Ottawa’s police chief resigned Tuesday amid criticism of his department's inaction against the trucker protests that have paralyzed Canada's capital for over two weeks, a federal government official said.

The bumper-to-demonstration by hundreds of truck drivers against the country's COVID-19 restrictions — and the failure of Police Chief Peter Sloly to break the siege early on — have infuriated many Ottawa residents.

The government official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked extraordinary emergency powers to try to end the occupation there and elsewhere around the country. Across Canada and beyond, the question in the coming days will be whether it will work.

Canadian Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said it is time for police to begin using their broad authority conferred under Canada’s Emergencies Act, which allows the government to ban the blockades and begin towing away trucks.

Both sides are supposed to follow the law...

Did he resign because of pro-tyranny pressure from Trudeau, or because of pro-freedom pressure from Trudeau's opponents.

Well he walked like a duck and talked like a duck so I believe he was Trudeaukin.

Niagara Falls!!!! (Canadian side)  Sloley he turned, step by step, inch by inch

[Kamaji]

So is he resigning because of pressure from the pro-freedom people?

Well, I guess we will see what his motive was...in time.

Ottawa’s police chief resigned Tuesday ... a federal government official said.

Wait a minute... Sloly didn't announce this himself? An anonymous "federal government official" is saying this? That raises the question, has Sloly actually resigned? WTH is actually going on?

Maybe Sloly was not aware he was resigning...

He may be as surprised as we are.

This guy was no friend of the truckers.

My guess is that he started getting a lot of flak from his subordinate officers that they really aren't interested on "going Stasi" against the demonstrators... suggesting that at least some of the "orders from the top" might actually be ignored by the rank-and-file...

I hope so.  That was what I was trying to get at; whether the pressure was from Trudeau because he wasn't being fascist enough, or from concerned police officers who were concerned that he was being too fascist.

Exactly, @Fishrrman

He got short/abrupt with his senior staff for not hitting the streets double-time...and they're no different than the tow truck drivers and now even the military brass.

Trudeau has stepped in it big time.

It is a real revolution. Only not the Castro style 'revolution' Trudeaux wanted.
