Police in Ottawa warned they may have to call in the military to disband “unlawful” protests in the nation’s capital and a town near the US border, amid mounting tensions between protesters opposing Covid restrictions and local residents.

TheOttawa police chief, Peter Sloly, warned on Wednesday that the officers did not have the resources to remove a fleet of trucks parked by the protesters in the national capital, adding the city was considering requesting help from Canadian armed forces.

But he warned bringing in the military carried a “massive risk”, adding that protesters are believed to have weapons.

“We do not want riots, but all options remain on the table,” he said.

The police chief said that a “significant element” in the United States was involved in organizing and funding the protests.

A GoFundMe campaign to support the demonstration has raised more than C$10m (US$7.9m) in recent days for what began as a protest against a vaccine mandate for truck drivers but has increasingly become an avenue for far-right groups

Many senior conservative lawmakers have embraced the movement, prompting accusations of hypocrisy, after those same parliamentarians called for police to disband Indigenous-led blockades in 2020

The standoff near the Alberta border town of Coutts has entered its fifth day, with dozens of trucks blocking access to a key highway used to enter the United States. The town is an important border crossing for Alberta’s meat exports and imports of livestock feed.

Police issued an ultimatum to protesters on Tuesday, threatening them with arrest if they remained on the road. A small group left, but many trucks remained. Others breached a police barricade to join the blockade.

Some words from the Tower of the Elephant

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages

because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split

Do I really need to share the Riders of Doom music

I didn’t think so
