This is nice to see. While the Ottawa police are acting like Justin Trudeau’s thugs, the towing companies aren’t following in line. Contracted city towing companies are refusing to tow away Ottawa Freedom Convoy protesters.
The tow trucks operators on contract to the City of Ottawa are taking a hard pass on requests to haul vehicles out of protest areas, according to the city’s top public servant.
“I’ve contacted them all and they’re all refusing, as of today, to provide heavy tow truck work,” city manager Steve Kanellakos told reporters Monday evening after a six-hour special council meeting.
“Right now we’re reviewing their contracts or standing offer, and reviewing what actions we can take to deal with this unprecedented situation.”
More than 400 vehicles are parked illegally in the downtown core, according to Ottawa police, the majority of them heavy trucks (and at least one crane). One of several challenges facing the Ottawa Police Service and the city is how to get them off the streets if protesters refuse to drive them away.
