Paranoia and alarmism: 'intelligence reports' hint at Canada truckers' outlook

Leaders of the Ottawa “Free dumb Convoy” protest have warned fellow protesters that the risk of violence is growing, amid speculation the police may move to disperse the nearly two-week occupation of Canada’s capital.

Daily “intelligence reports” compiled by protest leaders and seen by the Guardian – as well as public comments by the organisers – have grown increasingly alarmist in recent days.

Thursday’s report warns that “the Office of the Prime Minister (PMO) has directed that Freedom Convoy 2022 be dispersed by not [sic] later that [sic] Saturday, 12 February 2022.”

In Canada, politicians cannot direct police operations, but the increasing paranoia of the protesters present a worrying change in tone.

I still have a lot of family there on the West side.
This siege in Ottawa is alarming. I really hope it doesn't become violent.
Organizers need to be found and charged, but so should the truckers.
