Ottawa’s top cop resigned Tuesday after an onslaught of criticism for his department’s handling of the trucking protests that crippled Canada’s capital for the past two weeks.
A Canadian federal government official told the Associated Press anonymously that the Police Chief Peter Sloly’s resignation is due to his terrible handling of the “Freedom Convoy” protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which left many in the city and country wondering why police hadn’t done more to intervene.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday he will employ rare emergency powers to attempt to stop the protests, which are not even guaranteed to work.
