Meningkatnya kehadiran polisi di pusat kota Ottawa setelah pengunjuk rasa konvoi memperingatkan untuk pergi.- Increased police presence in downtown Ottawa after convoy protesters warned to leave.

 

Polisi meningkatkan kehadiran mereka di demonstrasi 'Konvoi Kebebasan' di Ottawa, dengan sekelompok petugas tiba di pusat kota dan berkumpul di dekat zona protes.

Ini adalah tanda terbaru bahwa tindakan polisi untuk memecah pendudukan pusat kota Ottawa bisa segera terjadi. Pada hari Rabu, polisi membagikan pemberitahuan kepada demonstran yang memperingatkan mereka untuk meninggalkan daerah itu atau menghadapi penangkapan.

Pagar baru telah didirikan di sisi Parliament Hill wellington street, tepat di sebelah tempat banyak pengunjuk rasa telah berkemah selama tiga minggu. Kemudian Kamis pagi, kru juga memasang pagar di luar gedung Senat lebih jauh ke timur di Wellington Street.

Tidak jelas kapan dan bagaimana polisi akan bergerak untuk mengakhiri demonstrasi. Kepala polisi sementara Ottawa yang baru menyarankan Rabu malam bahwa butuh beberapa hari untuk "mengeksekusi dan mencapai" operasinya untuk mengakhiri pendudukan yang sedang berlangsung.

"Saya akan berkomitmen kepada dewan bahwa kami memiliki rencana yang baik dan memiliki sumber daya yang baik yang akan kami jalankan mulai sekarang bergerak maju untuk mengakhiri pendudukan di kota ini," kata Steve Bell selama pertemuan dewan kota yang dramatis di mana ketua dewan polisi kota digulingkan.

Bell menambahkan bahwa sementara polisi memiliki "rencana metodis dan sumber daya yang baik" untuk mengambil kembali inti pusat kota dan semua ruang yang ditempati di Ottawa, itu akan memakan waktu.

"Ini bukan perputaran cepat. Ini adalah operasi yang akan memakan waktu selama beberapa hari untuk benar-benar mengeksekusi dan mencapainya," kata Bell. 

"Sekali lagi, keinginan saya yang mendalam adalah orang-orang meninggalkan kota kami. Mereka yang menduduki kota kami, masuk ke kendaraan Anda dan pulang. Kami mulai benar-benar meningkatkan tekanan pada mereka dan mendorong mereka untuk meninggalkan jalan-jalan kami. Harapan mutlak saya adalah bahwa mereka melakukan itu sebelum kita harus campur tangan."

Polisi Ottawa mengeluarkan pemberitahuan kepada demonstran rabu memperingatkan mereka akan menghadapi hukuman berat jika mereka tidak menghapus kendaraan mereka dan / atau properti segera dari semua situs protes melanggar hukum.

Para pengunjuk rasa tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda akan pergi setelah pemberitahuan itu dibagikan. Musik live berlanjut di Wellington Street hingga sore hari, beberapa pengunjuk rasa terlihat menggunakan bak mandi air panas yang telah dipasang di jalan Wellington dan O'Connor, dan anak-anak bermain di tempat penitipan anak darurat.

"Anda akan ditangkap dan didakwa dengan pelanggaran pidana termasuk namun tidak terbatas pada kenakalan, dan berpotensi didakwa dengan berbagai pelanggaran non-kriminal lainnya," kata polisi.

"Kendaraan dan properti Anda dapat disita atau dilepas. SIM Anda dapat ditangguhkan atau dibatalkan.

Dalam tanda lain lebih banyak penegakan hukum bisa segera terjadi, peraturan Ottawa memperingatkan pemilik hewan di demonstrasi apa yang akan terjadi pada hewan peliharaan mereka jika mereka ditangkap.

"Jika Anda tidak dapat merawat hewan Anda sebagai akibat dari tindakan penegakan hukum, hewan Anda akan ditempatkan ke dalam perawatan pelindung selama 8 hari, dengan biaya Anda," kata mereka di Twitter. Setelah itu, jika tidak ada pengaturan yang dibuat, hewan "akan dianggap dilepaskan."

Bell mengatakan dia tidak dapat berbagi rincian operasional dengan dewan, tetapi bersikeras polisi telah bekerja dengan RCMP dan OPP untuk mengamankan sumber daya yang dibutuhkan.

"Mitra kami sangat kooperatif dan membantu kami dalam memungkinkan kami mengumpulkan sumber daya yang kami butuhkan untuk melakukan operasi semacam itu," kata Bell.

"Kami terus membangun kapasitas itu, kami terus bekerja dengan mitra kami untuk memastikan sebelum kami melakukan tindakan langsung apa pun bahwa kami akan memiliki sumber daya yang diperlukan agar dapat melakukan itu."

MANAJER CITY 'SANGAT PERCAYA DIRI'

Ketika kota itu mendekati akhir pekan keempat demonstrasi "Konvoi Kebebasan" di pusat kota Ottawa, manajer kota mengatakan dia "merasa sangat percaya diri" untuk pertama kalinya dalam beberapa saat bahwa polisi dapat menerapkan rencana.

"Apakah mereka adalah kesalahan? Sama sekali. Apakah ada beberapa hal positif yang telah terjadi? Sama sekali. Apakah sudah sempurna? Tidak," kata Steve Kanellakos.

"Saya pikir mereka mendapatkan momentum. "Perasaan saya adalah sumber daya telah datang ke meja dan saya merasa sangat percaya diri untuk pertama kalinya dalam beberapa minggu bahwa polisi akan dapat mengambil beberapa tindakan dan menerapkan rencana tersebut."

Petugas Ottawa Bylaw telah mengeluarkan 600 tiket parkir selama tiga hari terakhir di zona merah, dan 3.000 tiket parkir sejak dimulainya demonstrasi di pusat kota Ottawa pada 28 Januari.

Lebih dari 40 kendaraan telah ditarik dari jalan-jalan kota.

PENUTUPAN DI OTTAWA

Beberapa jalan tetap ditutup di pusat kota Ottawa karena pendudukan yang sedang berlangsung.

Balai Kota Ottawa, garasi parkir bawah tanah dan Rink of Dreams tetap ditutup.

Perpustakaan Umum Ottawa Cabang Utama dan Rideau ditutup hari ini.

Ottawa Public Health mengatakan klinik vaksinasi di University of Ottawa Minto Sports Complex akan ditutup hari ini.

UNIVERSITAS OTTAWA

University of Ottawa mengatakan kegiatan tatap jalan di kampus utama akan ditangguhkan hingga Senin.

"Mengingat perkembangan yang sedang berlangsung di dekat Parliament Hill, Universitas telah membuat keputusan untuk memindahkan kegiatan akademik dan administrasi secara online hingga Senin pagi 21 Februari," kata uOttawa dalam sebuah pernyataan di situs webnya.

"Ini tidak berdampak pada kegiatan di Roger Guindon dan Kampus Lees."

Tempat parkir di kampus utama akan ditutup dan akses ke beberapa bangunan akan dibatasi.

Police are increasing their presence at the 'Freedom Convoy' demonstration in Ottawa, with groups of officers arriving downtown and assembling near the protest zone.

It's the latest sign that police action to break up the downtown Ottawa occupation could be imminent. On Wednesday, police handed out notices to demonstrators warning them to leave the area or face arrest.

New fencing has been erected on the Parliament Hill side of Wellington Street, right next to where many protesters have been camped out for three weeks. Later Thursday morning, crews also put up fencing outside the Senate building farther east on Wellington Street.

It's unclear when and how police will move to end the demonstration. Ottawa's new interim police chief suggested Wednesday night it could take several days to "execute and achieve" its operation to end the ongoing occupation.

"I will commit to council that we have a good, well-resourced plan that we will execute from now moving ahead to end the occupation in this city," Steve Bell said during a dramatic city council meeting in which the city's police board chair was ousted.

Bell added that while police have a "methodical and well-resourced plan" to take back the downtown core and all occupied spaces in Ottawa, it will take time.

"It's not a quick turnaround. This is an operation that will take time over a number of days to actually execute and achieve," Bell said. 

"Again, my deep desire is people leave our city. Those that are occupying our city, get in your vehicles and go home. We're starting to actually increase pressure on them and encourage them to leave our streets. My absolute hope is that they do that prior to us having to intervene."

Ottawa police issued a notice to demonstrators Wednesday warning they will face severe penalties if they do not remove their vehicle and/or property immediately from all unlawful protest sites.

Protesters showed no signs of leaving after the notices were handed out. Live music continued on Wellington Street into the early evening, several protesters could be seen using the hot tub that has been installed at Wellington and O'Connor streets, and children played at a makeshift daycare.

"You will be arrested and charged with criminal offences including but not limited to mischief, and potentially charged with a variety of other non-criminal offences," police said.

"Your vehicle and property may be seized or removed. Your driver's licence may be suspended or cancelled."

In another sign more enforcement could be imminent, Ottawa bylaw is warning animal owners at the demonstration what will happen to their pets if they are arrested.

"If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will be placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost," they tweeted. After that, if no arrangements are made, the animal "will be considered relinquished."

Bell said he couldn't share operational details with council, but insisted police have worked with the RCMP and OPP to secure the resources needed.

“Our partners have been extremely cooperative and helpful to us in allowing us to amass the resources that we do require to mount such an operation," Bell said.

"We are continuing to build that capacity, we’re continuing to work with our partners to make sure before we entered into any sort of direct action that we would have the resources necessary in order to be able to do that.”

CITY MANAGER 'VERY CONFIDENT'

As the city approaches the fourth weekend of the "Freedom Convoy" demonstration in downtown Ottawa, the city manager said he's "feeling very confident" for the first time in a while that police can implement a plan.

"Have their been mistakes? Absolutely. Have there been some positive things that have been happening? Absolutely. Has it been perfect? No," Steve Kanellakos said.

"I think they're getting momentum. My sense is resources have come to the table and I'm feeling very confident for the first time in weeks that police are going to be able to take some action and implement the plan."

Ottawa Bylaw officers have issued 600 parking tickets over the past three days in the red zone, and 3,000 parking tickets since the start of the demonstration in downtown Ottawa on Jan. 28.

More than 40 vehicles have been towed from city streets.

CLOSURES IN OTTAWA

Several roads remain closed in downtown Ottawa due to the ongoing occupation.

Ottawa City Hall, the underground parking garage and the Rink of Dreams remain closed.

The Ottawa Public Library Main and Rideau branches are closed today.

Ottawa Public Health says the vaccination clinic at the University of Ottawa Minto Sports Complex will be closed today.

UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA

The University of Ottawa says in-person activities on the main campus will be suspended until Monday.

"In light of ongoing developments near Parliament Hill, the University has made the decision to move academic and administrative activities online until Monday morning February 21," uOttawa said in a statement on its website.

"This does not impact activities at Roger Guindon and the Lees Campus."

Parking lots on the main campus will be closed and access to some buildings will be restricted.

Trudeau meminta Undang-Undang Darurat, yang menggantikan Undang-Undang Langkah Perang pada tahun 1988, untuk pertama kalinya pekan lalu, mengatakan polisi membutuhkan bantuan ekstra untuk mengakhiri blokade yang telah berlangsung di pusat kota Ottawa selama berminggu-minggu dan telah menyebar ke kunci Kanada-AS. penyeberangan perbatasan. Pada hari Senin, Trudeau mengatakan kekuatan luar biasa yang dibatasi waktu yang diberikan oleh Undang-Undang Darurat masih diperlukan karena pemerintahnya khawatir tentang blokade yang kembali. Trudeau sekarang mengatakan bahwa perintah itu sekarang telah dipulihkan dan bahwa sementara ancaman tetap ada, polisi dan undang-undang yang ada akan cukup untuk mencegah pekerjaan lain.

Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan". - The ongoing protests in Hong Kong have reached a “breaking point” and Singapore is watching the developments “with concern”, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Nov 18). “Unless calm is restored, dialogue commences and constructive actions taken, there will be grave doubts about Hong Kong's future and the sustainability of its current governance model,” said Mr Chan in his comments to reporters at The Treasury. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of unprecedented protests, which started initially from opposition to a controversial extradition Bill, but later evolved into a wider movement calling for democratic reforms and a halt to sliding freedoms under Chinese rule. Clashes between protesters and police have turned increasingly violent, with schools emerging as the new battleground in recent days. “We watch with concern the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong. This is especially so for those of us with relatives in Hong Kong,” said Mr Chan. He added that Hong Kong's continued success as an economic and financial hub is important for the region and the world, including Singapore. “We wish Hong Kong the very best and sincerely hope that the situation will improve soon,” he said.FOUR LESSONS FOR SINGAPOREMr Chan cautioned that what has happened in Hong Kong can “easily happen” to Singapore if the country is complacent. He also explained four lessons that Singapore can draw from the recent uncertainties in Hong Kong. The first is to have a well-functioning political system, which works closely with the public service to anticipate challenges, execute policies well, resolve problems and improve people's lives. “Regardless of political systems and party interests, the exercise of leadership must be to put people’s and country’s interests foremost,” the minister said. Feedback channels will also be required to enable responsive and responsible governance, he added. “Only with a well-functioning political system, the right political culture and a well-oiled feedback-to-action mechanism can we make adjustments to policies as necessary, execute decisively and communicate effectively.” “Today, too many governments and societies are too focused on the immediate and domestic, without sufficient considerations for the future or external.” As an example, he cited how the access to affordable housing and essential services is fundamental to keeping society stable. “The transfer of land ownership and properties across generations cannot be at the expense of depriving future generations’ opportunities to be rewarded based on hard work and capabilities. It cannot be that those who are rich first will be rich forever without due effort.” Mr Chan noted how there have been suggestions for Singapore to include land sales proceeds in the Budget and allow private developers land bank for longer periods so as to complete projects. “Our rules put national developments, especially public housing, as priority,” he elaborated. “We are careful to not distort incentives for Government to use land sales to maximise profits. Otherwise, it is the public that will ultimately pay. We are also careful to not let private developers’ interest override wider public interest. “Revenue from long-term land sales goes into our reserves to benefit future generations. This is the discipline we adhere to,” he said. Mr Chan then moved on to the third lesson on social cohesion and conflict resolution. “Unity amidst diversity requires all parties to bear in mind the wider good of the country, while championing the respective wants of specific communities. “To insist on maximal individual gains, at the expense of the common and collective good, cannot be the Singapore way,” he said. The “Singapore way” also includes dialogue and constructive actions, instead of violence, when it comes to resolving problems. Mr Chan stressed that conflict resolution requires all parties to take actions that are responsible and constructive. Singaporeans are also ultimately responsible for our their future. “Regardless of what others say, we must bear the responsibilities and consequences of our own choices and actions. This is why we are against foreign interference in domestic politics,” he said. Lastly, the minister noted that it is never easy for small city-states to survive and thrive without a conventional hinterland for supplies, markets and opportunities. “Singapore will have to pick up the pieces ourselves should things go badly wrong,” he said. Therefore, Singapore's continued relevance to the world is “never a given” and the country must continue to work hard, distinguish itself and stay exceptional amid global uncertainties. This includes growing opportunities for local enterprises and workers, as well as providing value to regional and global geo-strategic affairs with principled perspectives and clear-eyed analysis of the challenges and opportunities, among others.

SINGAPURA: Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan", kata Menteri Perdagangan dan Industri Chan Chun Sing, Senin (18 November).  "Jika ketenangan tidak dipulihkan, dialog akan dimulai dan tindakan konstruktif telah diambil, akan ada keraguan besar tentang masa depan Hong Kong dan keberlanjutan model pemerintahan saat ini," kata Mr Chan dalam komentarnya kepada wartawan di The Treasury.  Hong Kong telah diguncang oleh berbulan-bulan protes yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yang dimulai awalnya dari oposisi ke RUU ekstradisi yang kontroversial, tetapi kemudian berkembang menjadi gerakan yang lebih luas yang menyerukan reformasi demokratis dan penghentian kebebasan geser di bawah kekuasaan Tiongkok.  Bentrokan antara pemrotes dan polisi semakin berubah menjadi kekerasan, dengan sekolah-sekolah muncul sebagai medan pertempuran baru dalam beberapa hari ...
