CBC is reporting that the police chief in Ottawa has resigned.
There's a ton you could read into that: wasn't able to do his job clearing protesters; secretly siding with protesters; received an order that he could not follow in good conscience.
Do note that, even in our summer of unrest in 2020 for example, while it's normal for officials to resign after things have died down, it's pretty unusual for them to resign during an ongoing crisis.
There's quite a lot of information in that article, but it does note conflicts with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Those would be analogous to the state police and the FBI in the U.S.
N.B. Keep in mind that I don't have a horse in this race. But macroeconomically, I worry about instability in our largest trading partner, and neighbor, over issues related to our national situation.
