Ottawa police were so concerned about leaks from 'Freedom Convoy' sympathizers that they shut off the email accounts of members on leave.
Posted: Dec. 13, 2022 7:07AMA person is led away after leaving his truck as police aim to end an ongoing protest against COVID-19 measures that has grown into a broader anti-government protest, on its 22nd day, in Ottawa, on Friday, Feb. 18, 2022.
The email, submitted to the inquiry, said that “due to the state of emergency and believing this may have compromised operations leading to the expulsion of the protesters,” email and internal notification system access was restricted for members on leave. The Ottawa police, even now, have not said how many investigations were completed, or remain ongoing, into allegations of potential leaks.
Morris described it in the email as “evidence,” or at least intelligence, of an “operational leak” and “every example that I have been provided has been accurate.”The inquiry learned that Sloly, who resigned as Ottawa’s police chief on Feb. 15, the day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, was aware of Morris’s concerns.
“There was officers that were on leave for various reasons, whether it be the mandates or their own personal reasons — I didn’t ask; it wasn’t my business — that were also helping with some of the security tasks that I was co-ordinating,” he testified.
