The tents are coming down at Coventry

Here is retired Windsor district fire chief Winton Marchant. He called me “fake news” but agreed to an interview. We were cordial.

Informing Marchant’s view. During the pandemic he says he’s had appointments cancelled for his heart condition. Friends who had cancer had treatment delayed. He also got 3 tickets for violating gathering limits. He is anti-COVID vaccines

For more on the protesters who are still at the Coventry camp- you can watch this. On the north side of the parking lot a cluster of about 20 RV’s and small trucks remain. Some don’t recognize the legitimacy of police

Toronto Police officers are at Coventry with a drone to surveil the site. Before the last raid on Feb 6- a drone was sent up minutes before police went in. I don’t see any other officers right now other than TPS. I’m talking to Ret’d fire chief Marchant in the background

“She’s with the news I’m with the convoy.”
I then told the TPS officer that I was with CBC. He seemed surprised that I was on a walk with a protester

Sometimes if you just ask you get some answers. Some TPS officers have body cams- don’t know how many other officers from other forces have them. I don’t think @OttawaPolice use them widely. But the footage will be useful in any use of force review.

They’re warning of trespassing. But they could have done this 3 wks ago non? The city property is leased the Titans baseball team who didn’t want them there
