Officers were in the process of charging a person with driving while disqualified and impounding their vehicle, according to a Facebook post from the police service.
When the person's friend arrived to give the driver a lift, she appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, police said.
The driver failed a roadside breath test and was subsequently arrested for impaired driving, police said.
According to police, a search of the vehicle turned up alcohol and — after hearing knocking — a person inside the trunk.

VICTIMS' FAMILIES FRUSTRATED BY NS SHOOTING INQUIRY
Ian Hanomansing talks to Nick Beaton, whose wife and unborn child were killed in the April 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting, and Michael Scott, a lawyer representing more than a dozen victims’ families, about their concerns with the ongoing public inquiry and the importance of police testimony in the process.
NEAR-ABSOLUTE CABINET IMMUNITY CAN LEAD TO ABUSE OF POWER
Canada’s system protecting cabinet secrecy is “excessive” in scope, lacks meaningful oversight and has created a “legal black hole” that prevents the courts from probing possible abuse of powers, according to expert Yan Campagnolo, who wrote a book on the subject, Behind Closed Doors: The Law and Politics of Cabinet Secrecy.
Despite the last Conservative and current Liberal government campaigning into power on promises of openness and transparency, a resistance persists within the executive branch to change the laws despite what Campagnolo said he sees as broad consensus from parliamentary committees and successive information commissioners.

THIS FARCE OF AN INQUIRY
Rex Murphy: You know why they are playing out this farce of an inquiry into the calling of the Emergencies Act? It’s because the statute that enables the act makes subsequent inquiry mandatory. And despite the hearty bypassing of parliamentary customs and conventions the Liberal-NDP government has enjoyed under the convenient umbrella offered by COVID, outright defiance on serious statutes has been, for now, off the agenda.
But as for this inquiry, already the signals are out. “Cabinet confidentiality” is being referenced, and the requirements of “national security” solemnly invoked. This latter probably has some connection to the wild theory, birthed I believe on CBC, that “the Russians” were behind or had some dark connection to the great 18-wheel “coup” of 2022. The darkest of “foreign interests.”
This talk of cabinet confidentiality and national security in the context of an entirely internal protest by a group of Canadian workers, who tweeted their every move, is just bizarre.
Are there documents, obtained by our security guardians as they penetrated the revolutionary cells of those truckers “slouching towards Ottawa,” that are too delicate for public view? Documents that even now might imperil the viability of our government, and work the demise of our beloved Confederation? What could they be?

ALLEGATION AGAINST FREEDOM CONVOY DEBUNKED
Yet another allegation against the Freedom Convoy was debunked this week as Ottawa police announced they had identified the woman who stood atop the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in January, saying she was not associated with the convoy truckers.
The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) said on Thursday that it had dismissed a case against a Quebec woman who was filmed at the National War Memorial on Jan. 29, the first Saturday of the convoy protests. The woman, whose name has not been released, was standing atop the Tomb of the Unknown soldier, yelling “freedom.”
As reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, the OPS said in a statement that the woman was “spoken to, showed remorse for her actions and police are confident she will not re-offend.”
“There was no admitted association to the Freedom Convoy truckers,” said OPS spokesperson Carole Macpherson.

TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT RELIED ON CBC FAKE NEWS
Despite the fact that the CBC publicly retracted a news story about the Freedom Convoy that erroneously claimed that support for the protest had largely come from foreigners, the Trudeau government relied on the state broadcaster to justify its use of the Emergencies Act. This week, Attorney General David Lametti confirmed that the government relied on false CBC reports when freezing the bank accounts of Canadians who supported the protest.
Plus, weeks after the legacy media freaked out about a Conservative MP calling Justin Trudeau a dictator, so-called journalists go silent after a Liberal MP accuses Premier Doug Ford of “crimes against humanity.”
Lastly, thanks to the CBC – if you didn’t have a favourite non-binary, pansexual, South Asian, Muslim comedian yet – now you do!

POILIEVRE SCARES THE PROGRESSIVE ELITE
Pierre Poilievre is a populist politician — there’s that demonizing word again — and, as a result, he scares the bejeebers out of the political elite.
The elite — all the progressives in the media, in the Liberal Party of Canada, in the mush of the NDP, in the anointed corporations — want the populace to believe that, without its oversight and care, the world of ordinary Canadians would go to hell in a handcart.
It’s why they demonize populists. Populists make it sound so simple. So simple to fix the housing crisis. So simple to fix the high cost of living. So simple to cut taxes and still provide services, so simple to defund the CBC, so simple to audit the federal bank, Poilievre’s latest salvo.
