RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki told her Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) counterpart in early February that the federal government was losing or had lost confidence with Ottawa Police Service’s (OPS) management of the Freedom Convoy, and hinted Liberal ministers were considering using the Emergencies Act.
“Between you and I only, GoC [Government of Canada] losing/lost confidence in OPS...we gotta get to safe action/enforcement,” Lucki wrote in a text message to OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique on Feb. 5.
