The City of Ottawa’s auditor general says police intelligence sharing with the city about last year’s Freedom Convoy was insufficient and affected the ability to plan for the protests.
In reports released today, the auditor general also finds the Ottawa police did not properly engage with the city’s emergency management and traffic management offices.
