Ottawa Mayor Announces Cars Seized During Freedom Protests Should be Sold to Cover Costs Incurred by City
Ottawa’s mayor says any vehicles seized during the police crackdown on the occupation of the downtown should be sold to cover costs incurred by the city.
“We actually have the ability to confiscate those vehicles and sell them,” Mayor Jim Watson said Saturday.
“And I want to see them sold. I don’t want the return to these people who’ve been causing such frustration and angst in our community.”
The mayor told CBC News that Ottawa has that power due to the Emergencies Act, which was invoked by the federal government last week.
Watson said he’s been pleased by the level of professionalism shown by law enforcement since officers began stepping up their efforts Friday to clear the protest. But he also said he worries about demonstrators who have been “taunting police, being completely irresponsible, and don’t want to seem to leave.”https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2179960
