Ottawa Mayor Proposes to Sell Confiscated ‘Freedom Convoy’ Trucks
ZeroHedge
Ottawa police put an end to the “Freedom Convoy” protest in the downtown district that lasted for three weeks.
On Friday and Saturday, officers arrested demonstrators and seized their vehicles.
Now Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson wants to sell those seized trucks and campers to recoup millions of dollars the city lost during the three weeks of gridlock.
On Sunday, Watson told Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) that trucks, campers, and other vehicles seized from the convoy should be sold off, claiming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s emergency powers could give him authority to do so.
“Under the Emergencies Act, I’ve asked our solicitor and our city manager, ‘how can we keep the tow trucks and the campers and the vans and everything else that we’ve confiscated, and sell those pieces of equipment to help recoup some of the costs that our taxpayers are absorbing?'” Watson told state media.
Ottawa police tweeted 79 vehicles in total were seized and towed to impound yards.
