Ottawa Police Seize Fuel From Freedom Convoy Protest Site, Make More Arrests

in Canada’s capital have begun to seize fuel and say they have made multiple arrests after issuing a statement saying that those trying to bring supplies to support the thousands of protesters opposed to COVID-19 mandates and restrictions gathered in the city would be arrested.

“IMPORTANT: Anyone attempting to bring material supports (gas, etc.) to the demonstrators could be subject to arrest. Enforcement is underway,” Ottawa police said in a statement on social media on Feb. 6 in the early afternoon.

In a statement issued at 9 p.m. local time, police said they have arrested seven people. The arrests were for mischief charges throughout the day.

Police also said they had seized multiple vehicles and fuel containers.

Protesters who spoke to The Epoch Times said police didn’t arrest them on Feb. 6 for carrying fuel, but gave them a warning that they would be facing arrest for bringing in fuel to the protest site starting on Feb. 7.

Earlier on Feb. 6, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency, which he said, “highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government.”

Protest organizers say their demonstration is peaceful.

The protest started as a demonstration by truckers against the federal government’s requirement for cross-border truck drivers to be vaccinated, but has since evolved into a large movement joined by people from across Canada to oppose different COVID-19 mandates and restrictions. Vehicle convoys came to Ottawa on Jan. 29, and many have stayed in the city, with trucks and other vehicles parked by Parliament Hill. Many protesters say they will remain until the mandates are lifted.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), a legal group representing the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, said “police would be breaking the law if police attempt to intimidate or arrest people who bring food or other supplies to truckers who are peacefully exercising their Charter rights and freedoms in Ottawa.”

“People who bring food, water, gasoline or other supplies to peacefully protesting truckers are not breaking any law. There is no basis for this police threat,” JCCF lawyer Nicholas Wansbutter said in a statement.

“In a free and democratic society that is governed by the rule of law, citizens can freely associate with each other, including the giving and receiving of goods and gifts. There is no law that would allow the Ottawa Police to arrest people for giving fuel or food to another Canadian.”

Protest organizers say they are willing to talk with the government, but so far no government representatives have contacted them.

“The first thing they’ve got to do is call us. … We’re sitting here, we’re waiting by the phone,” protest organizer Benjamin Dichter said in a press conference in Ottawa on Feb. 6.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he won’t be meeting with the protesters.

Steve Bell, Ottawa’s deputy police chief, described to CTV News the manner in which they are attempting to pressure the Trucker Convoy to disperse.

“Look at how we limit things moving in and out of the protest area. We’ve really focused and targeted on removing the access of gasoline to the area and we’ve had several seizures and several arrests related to that,” Bell said.

Ottawa police learned quickly that they were not going to be met with the cooperation they were looking for from tow tuck companies to clear out the convoy.

A source told CTV that the disgruntled police are “considering launching a criminal investigation into whether intimidation of the tow truck companies is leading to their lack of cooperation with police.”

The statement from police comes after GoFundMe shut down the fundraiser for the freedom convoy, which many, including their legal team, have attributed to a pressure campaign by the Trudeau government.

Actions taken by the Canadian police and government has further unmasked the widespread corruption plaguing the country.

Canada’s constitution, the Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms, begins with the words “Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law” — the Trudeau government has flagrantly violated both of principles.

Hal Lindsey in a recent article help shed light of what the Bible says about lawlessness, writing:

The Bible describes these two seemingly contradictory things both coming true in the last days — lawlessness and a police state. In Matthew, chapters 24 and 25, Jesus gives a discourse on the time leading up to His return. In Matthew 24:12, He said, “Lawlessness will abound.”

Revelation 13 describes global government control so complete that people will be required to worship its leader. It describes a control mechanism so strict that people will not be able to buy or sell without government approval in the form of the mark of the beast. To enforce such draconian rules will take a surveillance state backed by a police state.

How could people ever put up with such changes? Fear.

In 2 Timothy chapter 3, the apostle Paul states that in the last days “men of corrupt minds” will “resist the truth” (2 Tim. 3:8). What follows that verse provides encouragement to those astonished by the government lawlessness being witnessed in our world today, promising that “they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all…” (2 Tim. 3:9).

Purim: Jewish Survival Isn’t Contingent On The World’s Hostility, But The Power Of God

Today, we have the same spirit of the annihilation of the Jews coming from the same part of the world. Modern Iranian leaders are obsessed with the spirit of Haman even today. We don’t need an Esther in the palace anymore. We need the prayers of the saints worldwide.
