Former Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau says it’s clear that the force is preparing for potential demonstrations in advance of July 1 and seeking to ensure the city doesn’t see a repeat of the Freedom Convoy protest earlier this year.

All that for peaceful protests 😂
I wish no one would show up . Let all the cops stare at themselves!
Who gets to go into the inclusion zone?
Nothing wrong with protests.
Protests is how we get change in society!
Even if there were zero protesters this Canada day , there would still be arrests.
Big public events always bring some undesirables out of the woodwork.
Celebrations and protests alike.
They show up.
Sick of 😫 Ottawa residents!
That's where the federal government is, that's where protesters go!
Yup… Getting ready for Canada Day is easy. But, it's not so easy to prepare for a day without Canada Dry.
Are bouncy castles considered nefarious? Is Justin afraid of bouncy castles?
Wouldn't want any bouncy castles or patriots around on Canada day that's for sure…and all those " problematic Canadian flags"…if you don't like the flag our ancestors fought for gtf home
It’s wonderful to see Canadians come together to celebrate our great country! Happy Canada Day everyone!!
Goon squad is out again
Pathetic
So sad PM has destroyed Canada, so sad . Happy Canada anyways 😎🇨🇦🎂🎂🎂🙏🕯
Huge waist of time.
You are free to vote 🗳 your power is on you vote 🗳 Election Day is the best day to protest!!! Election Day is when you have the power!!
How are the police preparing? By giving a $1100 fine to someone who wrote "Free Tamara Lich". Police have become a disgrace
Just here for Canada Day and it was appallingly disgusting. This day in Ottawa was the best celebration in the country, with Canadians embracing our National Monuments, celebrating together in and around Parliament Hill. Now, it looks and feels like a police state, no one really celebrating, the festivities are 30 mins away in Lebreton Flats, with a 30 minute wait to get through security. My girls felt scared more than happy. What has our country come to?
Ottawa police hate Canadians.
Free Pat King!
Free Tamara Lich!
Dirkastanada day ?
wear a turbine and a dress ?
Doesn't matter there's nothing the police can do. Way too many of us
Imagine no one showing up – the city henchmen would need to harrass each other.
Celebrate but remove the restriction
The trucker convoy fascists make me physically ill. They are domestic terrorists and need to be treated as such. Their hatred, extremism and stupidity is not welcome in Canada.
psychotic! warlords hurt our brothers and sisters
Putting heavier shoes on their horses?
