The spokesman of the Canadian Freedom Convoy put out a statement warning of a possible false flag operation involving stolen firearms that could be used against the convoy.
QUICK FACTS:
- Canadian Freedom Convoy spokesman Daniel Bulford released a statement warning of a potential false flag operation, according to The National File.
- Bulford stated that the operation would be used as an attempt to discredit the Freedom Truckers’ peaceful occupation of Ottawa, Canada.
- The spokesperson also said that they had reason to believe that the operation would possibly involve stolen firearms.
- Bulford cited “sources” who have notified organizers that the weapons could be planted by those who object to the convoy, but said that they don’t have further knowledge about the potential event.
- The spokesman said that they informed Ottawa Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Parliamentary Protective Service of their concerns.
BULFORD’S STATEMENT:
- “Today, on February 14, we received information from multiple believed reliable sources that firearms may be planted in Ottawa specifically around the Freedom Convoy to discredit the protest and to use as a pretext to forcibly remove peaceful protesters,” said Bulford, a sniper who served with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
- “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 at Peterborough, Ontario on Sunday morning, February 13,” Daniel Bulford stated.
- “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 … We implore any of our demonstrators if any activity is suspicious please call 911 immediately.”
BACKGROUND:
- The Canadian Freedom Convoy was organized to protest the vaccine mandates, and other COVID-19 related rules, that have restricted the work and movement of Canadians.
- A convoy, estimated to be around 45 miles in length, arrived at the nation’s capitol on Jan. 22 and has been occupying the city ever since, according to The Star.
- In recent days, the convoy has begun to face harsher opposition, with attacks on their funding and threats of mass arrests, according to The New York Post.
