From January 29, one day after the trucks arrived, the OPP had officers in the crowds collecting the “mood, tenor and plans” of the protesters.

OPP intelligence officer Pat Morris states that while a narrative circulated about extremism at the protests in Ottawa and the Ambassador Bridge, the events had not met the OPP’s threshold for a threat to national security.

“Everybody was asking about extremism. We weren’t seeing much evidence of it,” Morris said.

Morris stated that OPP “found no credible intelligence of threats,” and that “the lack of violent crime was shocking.”

Morris found the legacy media’s portrayal of the events “problematic.” He never saw proof that the protests were inspired or influenced by Russian or American sources.
