As the Freedom Convoy took shape and headed towards Ottawa in mid-January, Sloly admitted that he had seen Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reports warning the convoy was planning on setting up shop in Ottawa “long term”.
But he insisted overall, the intelligence he received beforehand concluded protests wouldn’t last longer than one weekend (they lasted over three weeks, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 20).
Sloly also dismissed a previous statement from OPS superintendent Robert Bernier, who had warned his superior in the days before the convoy arrived in Ottawa that there seemed to be a “bizarre disconnect” between OPS preparation and the intelligence about the protests warning of a long-term event.
