As the "Freedom Convoy" rolled toward Ottawa in late January, the city's police chief said he would be "very surprised" if the protesters stayed for longer than one weekend, the former chair of the police board said Wednesday.
Documents filed with the inquiry show the former chief told the police services board in a Jan. 26 briefing that trucks were expected to arrive in Ottawa that weekend and may stay for an "extended period.""He said to me, 'what are you worried about?"' Deans said.
When asked what led Deans to understand the board wasn't entitled to that intelligence information, she said she took Sloly "at his word."
