It's amazing how quickly the establishment threw Sloly under the bus. Here's some choice quotes:I was locked out of here by DDoSery until this morning! I really missed going through yesterday's crazy developments with you guys
In other news, Peter Sloly resigns as Ottawa's police chief.
Sloly's resignation comes as sources tell CBC News he's been accused of bullying and volatile behaviour that has damaged relations with senior leadership and compromised the force's ability to cope with the truck protest. Multiple sources have told CBC News that Sloly allegedly belittled and berated senior Ottawa Police Service officers in front of their colleagues, and has failed to put forward a solid operations plan to end the crisis.
Sources both inside and outside the police service said Sloly has a short fuse and is quick to yell at members of his senior leadership team.
I've said it before, but Sloly was in an incredibly unenviable position. There was nothing he could have done in the past three weeks that wouldn't either be impotent (attempting to mass-confiscate jerry cans come to mind) or would potentially escalate the situation prior to Trudeau's invocation of emergency powers. I'd count Sloly's resignation as a win if it weren't the for fact that there's probably a whole pool of WEF-affiliated candidates with security backgrounds that could replace him and are probably all too eager to institute more forceful measures now that Trudeau has given them the green light to do so. The article has kinda left that the matter of succession open though.The Globe and Mail recently noted that, while deputy chief of the Toronto Police Service, Sloly was accused of doing a poor job of handling allegations of misogyny and was known in policing circles as someone quick to resort to heavy-handed measures.
Bonus: Sloly was gonna solve racism, guise!
Sloly became chief of the Ottawa Police Service in October, 2019 with a mandate to help the force address systemic racism, improve its response to mental health calls and rebuild trust with the city's Black community.
About a month after he took the position, a report found that Ottawa police were stopping a disproportionate number of people of colour in traffic stops.
In response to that report, Sloly, a Jamaican-born person of colour who had served 27 years on the Toronto police force, said he wanted to eliminate racism from the Ottawa Police Service.
