Organizers of the Freedom Convoy in the Canadian capital say they have notified police after being told that “nefarious elements” are planning to plant weapons at the Ottawa COVID-19 mandate demonstrations as a “pretext to forcibly remove peaceful protestors.”
In a video posted to Facebook late on Feb. 14, organizers said they had received information from sources they consider to be “reliable” that the weapons may be planted.
The information, they said, correlates with the more than 2,000 firearms that were stolen in the city of Peterborough on the morning of Feb. 13.
Peterborough Police Service officers had said they are investigating the incident regarding the stolen firearms, which were taken from a trucking yard in the city in the early hours of the morning.
The truck and trailer were carrying more than 2,000 firearms with magazines but no ammunition was taken, officials said.
“Today on Feb. 14, we received information from multiple believed, reliable sources that firearms may be planted in Ottawa specifically around the Freedom Convey to discredit the protest and to use as a pretext to forcibly remove peaceful protestors,” organizers of the Freedom Convoy said in the Facebook video.
“Due to the nature of this information, we felt it prudent to notify the public in the interest of their safety. This private intelligence correlates with the approximately 2,000 firearms stolen in Peterborough Ontario on Sunday morning, February 13.
“Our sources have notified us that these weapons may be planted by nefarious elements and at this point, we have no further knowledge about who is behind this act of sabotage,” organizers continued.
“As soon as we received this information, we notified the appropriate authorities with whom we are collaborating, including the Ottawa Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Parliamentary Protective Service.”
The Epoch Times has reached out to law enforcement for comment.
Organizers then went on to urge demonstrators to inform the police immediately if they witness any suspicious activities.
They also asked the police not to “act discriminately” towards demonstrators.
“We expressly affirm the principle that change can only occur within the democratic process. We have never, nor do we ever, intend to step outside of this democratic process. Public and police safety remains our paramount concern,” they added.

In a media release on Feb. 14, Peterborough Police Service said that a truck carrying more than 2,000 firearms was stolen from a trucking yard in Peterborough. The firearms were of small calibre with the clips attached.
Officials said they believed it to be an isolated crime of opportunity rather than a targeted incident.
“It’s believed the suspects entered several other commercial yards in the city before this one, and that they had attempted to take different trucks and trailers before leaving with the trailer being sought in this incident,” officials said.
The truck is a white 2019 Freightliner New Cascadia 126 with the company name in red on the doors and a red #97 in red on the side of the hood.
The trailer was a white 2014 Hyundai 53 foot Dry Freight Van trailer with a silver metallic line that runs horizontally the whole length of the trailer, police said.
Officers are currently working to locate the trailer and its contents and upload the stolen firearms onto the national database.
The public safety announcement from Organizers of the Freedom Convoy comes after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they arrested 11 people at the Coutts border crossing protest in southern Alberta, and seized 13 long guns as well as handguns and a large quantity of ammunition.
In a news release on Feb. 14, the Mounties said they received information in the early morning that a “small organized group” within the larger Coutts protest had access to a cache of firearms and ammunition.
“The group was said to have a willingness to use force against the police if any attempts were made to disrupt the blockade,” officials said.
Officers searched three trailers believed to be linked with the small group and detained 11 people. They also seized 13 long guns, handguns, multiple sets of body armour, a machete, a large quantity of ammunition, and high-capacity magazines.
The protest at Coutts border crossing started on Jan. 29. It is one of several demonstrations that has begun since the Freedom Convoy encamped in Ottawa to demonstrate against the Canadian government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border truck drivers.
On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters that the government is invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time to address the impact of the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions by truckers and their supporters.

Nailed it!
Somebody has been shopping at Beautiful You.
I thought it had to be Hugo Boss for sure.
“…but no ammunition was taken…”
Why would there be? How about gun cases? Cleaning kits? Slings?
If someone had stolen a truck full of refrigerators, would they feel it necessary to mention that no groceries were taken?
This story is so scripted it’s painful.
yes it is… We clearly see this but the average citizen that watches the ‘news’ hasn’t a clue that the rcmp not only LIE, but fabricate evidence, destroy personal property and generally act lawless.
RCMP set the precedent in the ’90s with their “dirty tricks” why change now?

These Canadians are amazing. Of course Castreau is going to try a false flag just like their brothers in Satan did on Jan 6. But these incredible people smoked them out and laid bare their evil scheme. Once more Castreau has been made to look like an incompetent asshole. And even more importantly; a laughing stock-the one thing they can’t stand. The “Right and Honorable Prime Minister”, my ass. Jolly good show lads and lassies!
Do you have a minute to take one small step for Canada, one giant step for humanity?

“I will not be buying any product with the words MADE IN CANADA on it until PM Trudeau is gone. He wants to play the tyrant. He is on notice that millions of Americans agree with the Freedom Convoy’s goals. The Canadian Caligula is an abomination.
TRUDEAU MUST GO.
Fuckin A RC
Done.
Those are sure some shiny, new firearms and gear seized by the RCMP near Coutts. I’m sure it was totally not a setup or anything. 🙄
Looks much like a lot of regular range gear to me… Also those high cap magazines are very likely 22 cal mags which are NOT illegal.
The rcmp gleefully outright lie and the media prints not only the lies but add to the lies by lying by omission. This is completely bogus.
The “nefarious elements” WERE the government!
Well, it should take about 30 seconds to find the tractor.
From what I understand from a big rig mechanic, all late models were equiped with transponders.
It DOES sound kinda familiar.
Sieg Heil
Probably just a coincidence….
Peter Sloly resigns as Ottawa’s police chief as critics denounce his handling of convoy protest
One incident commander who was reassigned described Sloly as having no rationale for his decisions.
“This will all come out in a review,” another reassigned incident commander told CBC News. “I can’t say any more.”

The humiliation is bone-shaking. Fuckin WOW!
Huh, sounds familiar.
There is something primal and invigorating about beautiful women standing in the breach.
Dangerous.
That would be the RCMP planting weapons that how they roll.
The nefarious elements were the police or the Canadian equivalent of the FBI.
That small group of organized rebels with firearms… TWO guys, brothers, with a criminal history and one with pending firearms offences. AND… not tied to the protest… The police are NOT your friends and the ones that are sympathetic to the protests you NEED to come forward enmasse’ Choose today which side of history you want to be on…
