Ottawa residents, at least a thousand strong, tried to confront the “Freedom” convoy this weekend. They will do it again, because fury is building.

The City of Ottawa and Ottawa police “service” continue to do nothing. They allegedly made a deal to get the truckers off residential streets but there is doubt that there really is anyone to make a deal with or that the occupiers care.

There’s going to be serious violence unless something is done, and I am starting to think that what needs to be done might be the province taking over law enforcement in Ottawa, because the mayor and police chief are, obviously, cowards and incompetents.
