Ottawa Mayor Proposes To Sell Confiscated 'Freedom Convoy" Trucks

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.

    Mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, in an interview with the state
broadcaster(cbc) praises Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act, and is
looking into selling confiscated convoy protesters trucks and
RVs.https://t.co/cTm6cKHpsA pic.twitter.com/zS3em5TAjf

City Treasurer Wendy Stephanson recently noted demonstrators cost the
Canadian capital CAD 1 million ($785k) per day. "We should ding those
people who have caused this chaos," Watson said in a separate
interview with CTV.

It's unclear whether the mayor will follow through with his plant to
sell the vehicles. There's also no word if the vehicles at auction
would even cover the $14 million cost of policing expenses.

Interim Police Chief Steve Bell told reporters that clearing out
demonstrators over the weekend was "extremely expensive."

    "We've already talked to our federal and provincial partners about
how, at the end of the day, we will look at having money provided to
the police service for that. Those discussions are ongoing," Bell
said. "We continue to track our costs. Our partners continue to work
with us to identify the costs of policing to actually manage this
event and, at the culmination of it, we will be able to provide
accurate figures."

Bell said on Saturday the "unlawful occupation is over." He added on
Sunday that security fences with "very heavy police presence" were
placed around the downtown areas.

The trucker convoy has yet to release a statement about their seized
vehicles and what their response will be... One would assume they
would lawyer up and use donated funds in an attempt to retrieve their
vehicles.
