    1. Two months ago he announced he won’t run in the Oct 2022 election.
      Stepping down at this point will just create whatever processes that will cost taxpayers.

    2. @Alex Bender okay and? The mandates and restrictions are costing more, and he is doing nothing but hurting all Canadian.

    3. @FemBot Mayors are in charge of the Municipal Police. Educate yourself. Municipal police have higher authority on their jurisdiction then Provincial and Fed Police do.

  1. You the mayor and the rest of your counsel were totally unreasonable and intractable. You need to lose your job Jim.

  2. Ahhh the tools of violence, big screens, bouncy castles, and popcorn machines. That was going to be one heck of a fight. They must have been shaking in their boots.

    1. In addition to blaring truck horns, fireworks, hustling local residents, loud music. My relatives have not been able to sleep for days.

  3. If only the mayor would have as much self awareness he too would resign, The mayor has done enough for his masonic friends.

  4. The chief’s resignation likely had more to do with not wanting to deal with the unreasonable expectations of his position in that situation ever again, and probably had nothing to do with “doing the right thing” in regards to his percieved failure.

  5. And we all act surprised…like we didn’t know this was coming. “Conspiracy theorists” they screamed!!
    Amazingly…some still don’t see it. What a disgrace.

  6. Ottawa and the government is an unmitigated disaster. How will history look at this…..

    Most of all; those Canadians who have kept quiet, which I think is most of you – why?

    1. “Those who seize and capture a nation’s borders are domestic enemies of its citizens, and need to be put in jail.” – Said every normal person ever.

  7. He resigned because he wants no part in Jim Watsons disgraceful and dishonest portrayal of the peaceful protest. Jim Watson should lose his job.

  8. Like the protesters said at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, “the whole World is watching, the whole World is watching…….”. I never been prouder to be an American. Don’t give up, truckers!!!!
