Ottawa's chief of police suggested Wednesday that the Canadian Armed Forces might have to be called in to handle the lingering protesters in the Canadian capital.
"This is a national issue, not an Ottawa issue," Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly said in a briefing to city councilors. "I am increasingly concerned there is no policing solution to this."
"There is no lawful authority to seal a city. There's no practical capability to seal a city of this size," Sloly said.
I think the police chief is politely telling the truckers to leave.
Canada doesn't have all the emergency stuff that America does. There might not be a way to get the demonstrators to leave Ottawa, for example.
In America, we can declare martial law as a nuclear option, if we have to. Can't do that in Canada, apparently.
