*A braggadocious Steve Bell claimed that the Freedom Convoy was "finished" while he announced that strict security measures and checkpoints that had been set up in downtown Ottawa at Trudeau's behest would remain in place under a false claim of bolstering "community healing" to justify Trudeau's continued abuse of power and the setup of a [[police state]] presence in the downtown core.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/21/ottawa-police-claim-freedom-convoy-finished-strict-security-measures-stay-to-help-community-healing/ Ottawa Police Claim Freedom Convoy Finished: Strict Security Measures Stay to Help ‘Community Healing’] at Breitbart News Network</ref>

*The threats made by the OPS against the protesters, many of which were made on Twitter, ended up drawing a massive wave of negative blowback from foreign politicians (including United States [[Republican]] Senator [[Ted Cruz]] and former [[White House]] press secretary [[Kayleigh McEnany]]), journalists (including conservative commentator [[Dave Rubin]], who outright referred to the OPS as Nazis) and other public figures (including ex-[[Navy SEAL]] Carl Higbie, who was harshly critical of the OPS for its aggressive actions and for lying about what they did afterward, and conservative podcaster Mike Cernovich, who also directly called the OPS liars) and groups (including conservative NPO Turning Point USA, which called out the OPS for its unprovoked criminal assaults on journalists like Alexa Lavoie and Andrew Lawton), while a Twitter account parodying the OPS, calling itself the "Ottawa Gestapo", was created to mock the OPS official tweets.<ref>[https://tnc.news/2022/02/25/ottawa-police-tweets-shredded-by-international-pushback/] at True North</ref>
