BREAKING: Ottawa Police Staff Sergeant Resigns From Position Today

Written By Daniel Bordman, Posted on February 8, 2022

The National Telegraph has just gotten word from a source inside the Ottawa Police that one of their staff sergeants has resigned from his position today, likely over a disagreement with the city’s policing philosophy towards the Freedom convoy.  

This is a major development for the Ottawa police as senior NCOs are the core of any police force and enforcing anything without their leadership is extremely difficult.

The source also said that there are unusually high rates of uniformed officers taking stress leave, vacation days, and sick days. 

This is another indicator that people inside the police force are not happy with the directions they are receiving from their political leaders.

The situation is still developing, stay tuned for updates.

    Thank you for these police officers who have integrity!

  2. Shelly Schram says:

    Thank you for standing up for what is right. Sadly I was wrong. Some of you do deserve respect. Much love and Respect for the ones that are speaking out.

  3. Clinton says:

    Need to stage a full on blue out for a week or so

  4. Bill says:

    The insurrection claim, stated by Jim Watson, mayor of Ottawa is absolutely shameful, an insurrection by definition is a violent uprising to overthrow the government. The Freedom Convoy has been a peaceful demonstration to allow Canadians to regain their freedom and promote making decisions in their lives. The existing levels of government nefariously promoted and incited media induced fear to falsely promote their agenda. This officer should be praised and admired for his honesty and integrity. Good things will happen for a person displaying such courage.

  5. Susan castillo says:

    A gentleman with integrity! Unlike those bullies who harrassed 1 guy in his truck, cuffing him, arresting him, without citing a reason. Those Ottawa cops should be fired! They will have their day in court. It was all video taped and trending.

  6. Le Patriote 1837 says:

    Mayor Watson want to be the hero who will save Trudeau from his loosing position. So Mayor Watson has made promise to Sloly and gangs – the brown shirts per excellence to better themselves. They use the demonic tricks of the prime minister accusing everyone at the protest racists, insurrectionists, anti-monirity, misogynist, anti-Lgbtq2, anti- First nations, white supremacists, agnostics, and anti-science. Where is duck Tam? She has been invited to participate to a debate with three real scientists this week. Hope she will show up or may be she is going to use the trick of Justin and declare her regrets as she has just caught Omicron plus variant of the Covid-19.

    Only the wef puppets and traitors will be left.. enemies of Canada!

  8. KimG says:

    I was informed swat is now in Ottawa by my son!!! He got this information straight from Chris Barber. Please be safe everyone!!

  9. J says:

    Today..is which day? There are no dates in the article.

  10. C says:

    So, no name, no date, and a photo stolen from another news outlet. Sounds legit.

  11. Don says:

    When the police chief of Ottawa is a member of the WEF he should be removed
    The Mayor Jim Watson should be prosecuted for having sex with an underage boy and he is also a member of the World Economic Forum
    Trudeau and Freeland are alstroemerias members of the WEF and they are dictating policies in Canada
    This is not acceptable the UN and WEF or elitist like Soros should have influence on Canadian policies or politics

  12. Jane says:

    This is nothing more than rumour unless you can provide verifiable evidence. “I heard…” is not reliable journalism. I hope it’s true but you’ll have to find more information than that.

  13. your mom says:

    Fake news

  14. Upya says:

    Police and military have their oath to defend and protect the citizen. Please be reminded our police and military, be in the side of the light and freedom

  15. Upya says:

    Police and all sort of military are our guardian when the citizen is being invaded by any tyrant and evil doing just like trudeau is doin now, so police and military , you must remeber your oath to defend and protect the citizen. Thnk you freedom be restored gogog freedom comvoy truckers 2022

  16. Larry Capponi says:

    Cops are low life order following bullies with low IQs

    • ian says:

      Let’s see how you would do without cops genius. A few bad apples don’t outweigh the good ones.

      • Zdenek Misar says:

        Dude, you have it wrong! It is other way around in police case. Very few good ones and the rest is ball less, spineless, scared bullies!

      • Tony says:

        then the screening process for bad apples and the brotherhood should be in focus with zero tolerance of behavior outside of their mandate and oath. Peoples views on police are not without warrant.

  17. paul says:

    I’ve seen quite a lot of overhanded tactics by bully police over the years and more so with the public having little camera devices that it’s safe to say a lot of them are just pig basterds that all damp bullying old ladies and disabled old men and men that are stronger then them but they hide behind a badge cause they’re weak, the female polis also seem to be getting all damp with their power over men.

  18. Frances says:

    It’s very sad what is going on in our country these days. The Ottawa police stood up for themselves and did not take the vaccine. Now they’re fighting the truckers and other citizens who want the same choice. We want our freedoms back. We want our country back. We the people want the tyrannical governments and all those who obeyed them gone, ousted and held accountable for their actions against the people.

  19. Tiziana says:

    Guys wake up something big is coming and he wants no part of it .

  20. Patricia says:

    Not all police have the same information. Many are being brought in from other area and are perhaps recieving false information. The protesters are, and should continue to take the convoy leader’s advice and continue to be peaceful under adversity. Paul, once a persecutor of christians was won over in this way. Stay united, stay peaceful, be informed, stand strong. Love to you all.

    • Andrew says:

      Appreciate the sentiment, but just a reminder that Paul was NOT won over that way, he was on the road to persecute more Christians when Jesus personally appeared to him and struck him blind. Pray for spiritual revelation and repentance from these persecutors.

    • Bertrand Russell says:

      Saul of Tarsus was never "won over" lol. He got inside and won you over. Read Romans 13, his magnum opus: Bow to the state

      • euaggelion says:

        Methinks that perhaps what Paul’s calls ‘MY gospel’ which he says given to him ‘according to the dispensation of God given to me for you to fulfill the word of God’ Col. 1:25 might rather be considered his magnus opus. And Romans 13 must be subject to that dispensation (as the bookends of Romans 13 are ‘my gospel’ Romans 2:16 and 16:25). Context, context, context Bertrand Russell!

  21. Patrick says:

    We are doing the right thing by keeping it peaceful but after we take care of Trudeau, I think we have a very serious problem with the MSM especially right here in Ottawa with CTV and CBC. These local beloved reporters like Stefan keys, Matt Scooby, Patricia bowl and may other reporters have a lot of blood on their hands for all their lies and crimes against humanity that we, “CANNOT JUST GIVE THEM A PASS” and say, oh forget about it, you only tried to, KILL US !!!!! Bought and paid for by Trudeau to say whatever he wants them to say. He paid both CBC and CTV 1.5 billion each for this lie service. Don’t forget what they did in neremburg in 1946 to 100s of reporters who lied to the public the whole time just the same way that CTV and CBC are doing know to us…THEY HUNG HUNDREDS OF THEM AND WOULD DO IT, 10 at a time!!!! NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THEY ARE ALL GUILTY FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND CAN NOT HAVE THEM IN OUR STREETS AS THEY ARE MENACES TO OUR SOCIETY.
    Stay strong and god bless!!

  22. Tod Coulson says:

    Treasondeau has bought off the media with Taxpayer money Hense they follow his/her/its mandate, whoops persondate, following little drama queens language guidelines and any other thing that can distort "The NEWS" into His/Her/Its VIEWS & or Dictates.

  23. Tod Coulson says:

    The concept of the Thin Blue Line is an existant reality that is both good and Bad at the same time. I believe Ottawa Police are contractually not Required to Vaccinate or show Vaccine passport themselves but enforce AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh WWWTTTFFFFFFF…I am sure there is a word I can’t spell that starts with HIP and ends with crit, that means to produce & or enforce laws that apply to everyone but your own group. Many once very good & moral people enter the Police Force and are disillusioned by that thin blue line and are faced with the comply or face the ??consequences??? whatever they may be…

    Wow if this is true he will get a job soon enough. Thank you for your service and your oath and any others that have taken sick days stress leave etc

  27. Jennifer says:

    Much respect to Ottawa Police. They had to bring in police from other cities because the Ottawa Police were obeying their oath. The strategy is that officers will be less empathetic when they’re not policing their communities.

    All of this is caused by one person only. Justin has to go. Simple. I wouldn’t want to be in ther boots right now. Keep calm. The end is near.

  30. Reasoned Raisin says:

    This resignation needs to be verified otherwise it is hot air and a psychological distraction.

    Freedom is good, but Liberty is better. One can be free to pace their jail cell, but not at Liberty to leave.

  31. a man says:

    I am very happy to see how being peaceful, happy, and determined works like a charm. First they tried to smear us with media – didnt work. Then they tried to instigate us with provocateurs – doesnt work. And each day their nasty tactics to cancel us become more evident and clear for the whole world. This government is loosing credibility more everyday and liberal MPs starting to defect and distance themselves from Liberal Party. And more blockage protests starting to pop up around the country. Police and RCMP openly express support of the protests. Everyone is having fun. Keep it peaceful, stay vigilant for provocateurs and anyone who tries to incite violence. This is working!!!

    "likely" is hardly an accurate word for a factual report!

      I found that likely matches the reality of the gov. And so called science which state…the Vax is it likely to reduce symptoms 😂

  36. Bertrand Russell says:

    Glad to see this man’s show of integrity. Now his peers can see more clearly that to Trudeau, we and our families are all expendable sacrifices he is prepared to make for his own non-Canadian agenda. Keep truckin!

    we just exposed all our weaknesses, vulnerabilities (will to be controlled), dependencies,(others feed and clothe us now) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt-trap_diplomacy that I fear greatly.
    giants run this show – dictators/tyrants esp media. Who want more and more power/control. A dictator/tyrant/narcissist seeks more power/control and will destroy others financially (debt trap), legally (limit freedoms and privacy), physically (use of force) and/or emotionally (cognitive dissonance, gaslighting, guilt, blame/shame, belittle etc.. https://abusewarrior.com/toxic-relationships/narcissistic-abuse/harmful-manipulation-tactics/ ) That I fear as media is a puppet show now.

    The dictator will rant ,stomp his feet and hold his breath like a spoiled child ,but those in uniform have the final say of how far he will get with the distruction of democracy in this country!

    Now I agree that this needs to happen. But without a name – it’s as bad as CBC

  42. Joe says:

    Today, I am once again discussed by what I have read or watched on CTV news Ottawa.

    I am a decorated disabled veteran and was angered by CTV’s news video on "veterans" standing against the Freedom Convoy.

    For 2 weeks now, I have followed CTV coverage on the Freedom Convoy and am beyond upset at the biased and one sided news stories that are being reported.

    The veteran in your video does NOT represent all veterans. In fact, I and several veterans that I know, support an end to covid mandates, QR codes, vaccine passports and other needless rules that discriminate, divide and infringe on our rights and freedoms.

    Sadly, it took the Freedom Convoy along with support from around the world to bring awareness to outdated mandates.

    I am sickened by CTV News supporting certain politicians while making core Freedom Convoy organizers and their supporters out to be violent thugs.

    News should be unbiased and stories should be covered from multiple angles reflecting different views.

    I never believed in "fake news" or political support through media until being bombarded with one sided and biased news reports from CTV Ottawa with regards to this Freedom Convoy.

    Shame on you!

  43. JC says:

    I have seen so much corruption to last me 100 lifetimes. The gf is from russia, she fears what is next for this country if people don’t stand up. She has seen the likes of oppression and she says – I just came from oppression only to walk into it again. She fears it greatly – dictators/tyrants/narcissists – all at the helm now – the giants run this show, esp the media puppet show.

    well my daughter’s bf was downtown, he’s first nations and was taken from his family at a young age. Put in the foster care system and having a hell of a time with his status card etc… anyhow, he was downtown drinking an energy drink and the cops stopped him for no good reason holding onto their guns in their holster. The kid is now petrified… thanks ottawa police… this was a kid that is taking psychology at the UofO hoping to be a cop one day, not anymore… not after what he just saw. Thanks a lot.. time to file a complaint. If you see wrong doing by authority file a complaint. what the hell is wrong with this country! freedoms are important!

    Nobody mentions the big plain truth that is in plain sight.. if vaccines work why would the vaccinated be afraid of the unvaccinated.
    Why would the vaccinated want the unvaccinated to wear masks.. they have been immunized.. they can’t get the disease from anyone masked or unmasked if the jab works. Why the mandates.. if the vaccine works there is no need for a mandate to protect those that are vaccinated.

  54. Gertrude Field says:

    The truckers are merely affording Trudeau the same courtesy he afforded all of us (and small businesses) 2 years ago.

  55. tim says:

    "likely over"
    So you really have no idea why he resigned.. it could be over family matters, it could be over claims of harassment, it could be over a massive investigation on kickbacks and tow trucks..

    Irresponsible reporting

  56. Brenda Barber says:

    A historical event just took place today in Ottawa. Real people standing for truth and freedoms. You can watch it on Randy Hillier’s facebook page. Doctors, lawyers, Clergy, Truckers, Scientists and Maxine Bernier and Randy Hillier. I cheered and shed a tear. This movement has given hope to Canadians and the world as was evidenced by the comments from participants.

  57. Carole says:

    I don’t blame the cops leaving but they shouldn’t have to. They signed up to fight crime, not peaceful protesters, and should never be asked to work against their own conscience.

  58. Gi haile says:

    Most officers will resign from their position because the are compromising with the law and Human Rights.
    Canada is soft spot and WEF primary focus and targeted to promote WEF agenda. Our Diversity and people came from all over the world and easy targets to Implement their Agenda. Our freedom not for sale, so our unity in diversity is stronger than ever. Some politicians are posibly promoting other unelected groups, Individuals agenda. Thousands of Veterans died for this country to keep peace and freedom for generation to come. The young leaders and politicians are neglected and forget those who sacrificed their life’s. We remember our Hero, our Veterans and our Patriots. Freedom not for sale.

  59. Bill Crossman says:

    If you believe in the convoy or you don’t, is not the question people need to be asking at this moment. The protest leaders have asked since day one to speak to their leaders, but instead the people in power flex on TV and complain of the violence, racial activities, and on and on. Threats of moving the protesters with force, removing their source of heat and so on is simply a ploy to get a reaction from the group, and at some time it will. This has to be avoided, or the persons demanding the group to back down will be saying see, told you they were violent.
    Right , Wrong , or indifferent, this needs to end and the governing powers need to meet with spokes persons and make this happen.
    The free people of Canada have been making a peaceful request, and the government hides, nobody wants this to end badly, this is not the Canada I want to see my grandchildren grow up in. Canada is and has been for many years one of the strongest and most respected countries in the world. The present government is destroying this by their refusal to discuss and make negotiated agreements.

    I appreciate everyone who has boldness to follow their instincts their Momma taught them AND just do the right thing!! Thanks to those people!!

  61. Eric Boucher says:

    He should not resign. We needed him to say NO.

  62. Steve says:

    Thank you sir! Glad to see people standing up for what they believe in. Protecting thy neighbour. Very honourable

  63. Terry says:

    I just viewed the 78 year old gentleman who was arrested for " blowing his horn" in support of the protestors. What Kind of idiot policeman picks on an old man, roughs him up, and arrests him for blowing his car horn…… insanity. Well maybe if you listened to the Ottawa Police Chief, you may understand where this type of abuse originates

  64. Kate says:

    What’s his name?

  65. GLN says:

    The problem with this is when these men and women step down because of their conscience, they haven’t changed anything. Those over them will just find someone that will do the dirty work without question. The power is resistance within your position. Once you’ve left your position, your power to make change ends.

  66. Dan says:

    Please make your name known sir…a hero’s welcome is waiting for you and those who follow!

  67. Dagnar Prox says:

    HAIL TO ALL FREEDOM CONVOY TRUCKERS AND SUPPORTERS!!
    YOU ARE THE UNISON THAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BRING FORTH THE COLLECTIVE WHO ARE NOT FEARFUL OR WEAK-MINDED, TO STAND UP AGAINST A TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT. JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS A CORPORATE PUPPET AND HE AND HIS ENTIRE CABINET SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND JAILED FOR TREASON. WE HAVE PASSED A CRISIS POINT WHERE OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SOLD SO MUCH OF OUR RESOURCES THAT CANADA IS NOW JUST AN ASSET TO BE SOLD. MAINLY TO CHINA WHO ARE POISED TO TEAM UP WITH RUSSIA TO OVERTAKE UKRAINE AND THE ENTIRE COASTLINE AND WE’RE NEXT BECAUSE JUSTIN TRUDEAU WORSHIPS THE CHINESE AND THEIR CONTROL OVER THEIR PEOPLE. THATS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT BY LEAVING THIS GOVERNMENT IN POWER. THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IS WEAK MINDED AND SCARED SO WE ARE DEFINITELY OUTNUMBERED.
    LET’S BE PERPETUAL IN OUR ENDEAVOUR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
    HAIL FREEDOM!!
    HAIL CANADA!!
    BUILT TO RESIST!!

  68. Daphne Stones says:

    I 100%support what the Truckers Freedom Convoy! True Canadians want all the freedoms ( as set out in the Charter of Rights) upheld! The overreach of Trudeau and his cronies is a blatant display of his distain for Canadians and everything Canada has stood for since it’s formation. He wants to turn this country into a dictatorship as his action have clearly shown. He and his supporters need to be charged and tried for his actions.

  69. Katen says:

    GOOD FOR HIM! Until we unite on EVERY front the power hungry elites will keep this up. They are POWERLESS without us. Let’s help them re-learn it!

  70. Tanya Dawn says:

    Good for him taking a stand!

  71. KAS says:

    The police are forgetting they took an oath to protect the people of Canada by protecting the charter and bill of rights. Right now they are bowing to the political will of one man. – a dictator.

  72. Vern P says:

    Respect!! So many great police officers out there!! Just takes a certain few to tarnish a police department. The chief should resign in disgrace. They fired him in Toronto.
    So very proud of all the truckers and great Canadian people standing up for freedom!!
    This is OUR COUNTRY!
    Let’s take it back!!!

  73. Liz Smith says:

    Exactly right if Police are trying to be forced to do something they don’t believe in because of the Charter of Rights they should walk! Join the peaceful protest and make Dumbass Justin resign!

  74. Sonny says:

    Why is everybody assuming he quit to support the protestors? Anybody not biased would think maybe he quit because the police aren’t doing their job and he’s embarrassed?

  75. Kath says:

    I don’t see any date on this article! Here I was thinking it was "today", meaning Feb 13th but skimming down the comments it looks like it was 4 days ago.
    It’d really be a good idea to have articles dated!! 😉
