Pat Lenihan

"When we were moved from Petawawa we expected to go to another camp. We arrived at Hull to find a new jail, a big building, very modern. When we saw the walls around this building we refused to go in. By this time there were about a hundred of us anti-fascists from all over Canada. When we were told to go in, Norman Freed, our spokesman, said, "No man move. We're not going in there."

When the officer told us to get marching we told him that we were not going into any jail or prison. We would tolerate a camp but not this. For about an hour there was lots of excitement. The officer went in to consult his superiors, and I guess they phoned across the river to Ottawa. Finally they came back and told us that Hull was not going to be operated as a prison. We were going to run it. Before we'd move they took our committee in and showed them the whole place. A little while later Norman Freed and the committee came out and told us it was going to be all right.

On the inside, it was fine; there was a beautiful kitchen, everything shining. There were two bunks to a cell, and no locks on the doors, no soldiers in sight at all, no police, no prison staff. Any soldiers that were on guard were on the outside. There was only one lock on the whole building. That didn't stop us as we had complete freedom to go outside. There was a big compound for exercise, and there was also a door that led to the outside. We could go out to a wooded area and sit under the trees. Outside there were maybe five acres of bush. It looked like an unkempt park but it was a beautiful spot for reading and studying.

The soldiers were members of the Veterans' Guard. They were our friends. Sometimes when we were outside, there would be soldiers sitting at the corner of the fence, maybe 3 feet outside it. On a hot day, a soldier would sit down and the next thing he'd be snoozing with his rifle between his legs. If we saw a sergeant or an officer coming we'd holler or throw rocks to wake the guard. When we received a crystal radio set in a can of cottage cheese, it was decided that it would be kept in my cell. I shared a cell with Muni Taub, right in the middle of the cell block. I was on the bottom bunk, he was on the top. The radio was put under my pillow. The cells were inspected once a day, but after a while it got pretty lax. In the afternoons, when things had quieted down after the inspections, a few of us took turns listening to all the news. So every night we had a full report on the day's news.

I'll never forget it - I was lying in the bunk one night listening and the news broke about Pearl Harbor. I sailed out of my bunk. I don't think my feet hit the ground until I got down to the end of the passage where Norman Freed was resting and reading. "Norman!" I said. "Get up. I just got it. Pearl Harbor's wiped out." He thought I had gone crazy. They all did for a couple of seconds. I told them to come on up and listen for themselves. And sure enough, they found out that it was true.

I imagine that set is somewhere around that building yet. We used it right until the last man was released. You couldn't take it out with because you were searched going out.

There were two attempts that we know of to plant RCMP stool pigeons among us. These fellows would come in through ordinary channels. The door would open and some fellow dressed like we were would walk in. We'd all gather around him wondering if we knew him or knew of him. Both times the guy was French Canadian. There was quite a group of French Canadians with us. We became worried right away with the first fellow. You could tell by the way he carried himself that he'd had military training. Within a couple of days the French-Canadian comrades knew that he was a plant. Our committee went immediately to the camp commandant and told him to get the plant out before he got hurt. Of course the commandant had an excuse. He said he didn't know who the guy was but that he had to keep him interned. Possibly it was true. It was up to the top brass in Ottawa.

In a way I felt sorry for the stool pigeon. He had to eat and live with us. Nobody would look at him; they would almost spit at him every time he came round. His food would be delivered to him on a plate. All the rest, say twelve men at a table, would share a big platter of meat, vegetables and potatoes. He was never allowed to touch any of the platters, only the portion that was served to him. It was often doused heavily with pepper and salt so no one in the world could eat it.

We wanted him out. A couple of times we took his kit, mattress and all his possessions and threw them outside, right next to the door that divided us from the soldiers' headquarters. When they opened the door they'd find his mattress and everything else. He'd be standing with his stuff, looking glum. After about a week they let him out. About three months later they repeated the process with someone else, but then they gave up.

All through our internment in Kananaskis, Petawawa and finally in Hull, we were treated with respect by 98 per cent of the military staff, and that included a lot of the officers too. There is one episode I'll never forget.

In Hull jail we did all the cooking ourselves; we had all the regular cooking equipment of the army, such as big seven-or eight-gallon pots for making soup. We received a lot of fruit, raisins and such, more than we could eat. We decided to make some good whisky. We had to cook the stuff in one of those kitchen pots, and make it in the kitchen. We poured the juice from the mash into this big pot and then covered it with a pan which would sink into the soup about 6 inches. Then we filled it to the top with ice. The steam from the juice would start to boil or percolate and it would hit the bottom of the ice pan. There was another pan to catch the alcohol, and that liquid was clear. Did we have a party with the first batch!

One day, the orderly officer came in to inspect the kitchen; Fred Collins, Misha Cohen and I were there. We had made maybe 10 gallons and we had it stored in vinegar jugs behind the sacks of flour, We had a supply but we were making another batch. When you came into the kitchen the smell was pretty powerful. The officer came in as we were busy chopping up meat. He looked at all the pots and when he came to the special pot he asked what it was.

"Oh, that's a new kind of French soup we're making," said Fred. I could have died laughing. "Well now, isn't that interesting?" The officer turned to the sergeant and said, "Isn't that interesting?" We didn't

hear a word more. Everything went fine. About three days later, who should stop me but the commandant. He asked me if I worked in the kitchen. When I said yes, he asked what the stuff was we had behind the flour sacks. Obviously they had checked the kitchen at night when we were asleep. I told him it was vinegar. All he said was, "Take it easy drinking that stuff." He was the commander of the camp. That shows you what kind of consideration we got from the soldiers.

As the war went on the Communist Party told people to forget about strikes, forget about everything else except production to help win the war and smash Hitler. This speeded up our release. I was released in September 1942. I took the train and arrived in Calgary about 6:30 in the morning. About 200 people, many of them my friends, met me at the station and gave me a royal welcome.

The following Sunday I spoke at a meeting in a big hall that held 500 people. It was jammed to the roof. I said that I should never have been put in jail because we were fighting a war against fascism and if there was one thing I had hated all my life it was fascism. I also pointed out that there had been no charges brought against me and no trial.

When our people were released, most of them volunteered for active service. Some of them were killed in France and other places. I was 39, so naturally I had to look for a job. I was blacklisted everywhere in Calgary -in fact everywhere in Alberta - as a result of my years of activity with the Communist Party and as a mine union organizer throughout the province. I was forced to go to people who knew me at city hall. I talked to Mayor Andy Davison, who knew me because I had been an alderman for eighteen months before I was interned. He agreed that I'd have a struggle getting a job outside and he gave me a job the very next morning as a motor man, a streetcar driver."

WHY SHOULD YOU GET RID OF THE STUMP BY STUMP GRINDING SERVICES?

When a tree is removed, what is left behind on the ground is the stump. You can say when the trunk of the tree is not there, you can find the stump that goes deep with the roots in the ground.  Removing the tree is a tough job. Similarly, removing or grinding the stump is a difficult job too.  Stump does not look good in your lawns and occupies a space in the area. Moreover, it makes the landscape appear unpleasant which can otherwise be developed into a beautiful garden or a new plantation. The Ottawa Stump Grinding and Removal Company can help you in deciding and planning the stump grinding or removal process.

 Why do you get a Stump in your Lawn?

Generally when you remove a tree the leftover part is known as the stump. There can be various reasons for the removal of the tree that the Ottawa Tree Service company can assess and it includes the following:

1. The tree is infested with the insects

2. There are termites in the tree

3. The tree is dead and decayed

4. The tree stands on the pathways or near the main entrance of the house.

5.  The tree poses the danger of falling down

6. There is a plan to develop the area with a fence, prepare a children’s outdoor activity area, etc.

 Why do you want to get rid of the Stump?

The stump requires maintenance and safety.  Assessing the loss or the harm caused by the stump is unthinkable as it can even posses the risk of life. Here are the reasons why you must get rid of the stump according to the Ottawa Tree Service company.

 1. Hazardous and Risky

The stump can be hazardous for the safety of the kids and all the family members as there is always a risk of tripping associated with the stump. Moreover, you may find it difficult to mow the lawn and fear of tripping always linger on.

 2. Attract Termites

The low-lying stump can be a house of termites. Even without your notice, you may find termites have made stump their house.  The termite can slowly and gradually decay the tree which can become an infestation ground for insects and ants.  Besides, once the termites are attracted to the stump they can get attached to the other trees and even to your house, considering the fact that the termites can live and damage the wood. Therefore, it is better to remove the unwanted stump altogether by the Ottawa stump grinding service company.

 3. Infestation of Insects, Ants, Mould etc.

The stump also possesses the risk of becoming an infestation ground for insects, ants, mould etc.  As a result, the stump will not only give shelter to these creepy creatures but will lead to the spread of insects, ants, mould etc. to the other plants as well as the entire lawn and landscape. To keep the area neat and clean, it is better to get rid of the stump at the earliest.

 4. Destroy the Beauty of the Lawn

The stump destroys the beauty of your lawn and makes the landscape look ugly. The stump of a tree occupies the space and makes the area appear unpleasant.

If there is any stump in your lawn and you want to get rid of it, then it is better to take the help of Ottawa Stump Grinding service company who can grind the stump with the help of a stump grinder machine. The arborist at the company knows how to grind the stump so that space can be made clear.

Different Fences and Decks for your Home Renovations

Fences and decks serve a lot of purpose in many types of houses and properties in Ontario, Canada. It can be used to keep things inside or to keep things out. It can also serve as an element to beautify your garden or lawn. It can also serve as a part of your home renovations in Ottawa.

 Fences are used to make boundaries and perimeters around your house or your property. They are important in avoiding cases of trespassing. They can also be a great help in keeping your kids or your pets from going out of your sight. Fences are also used for decorative purposes or to close in a pool or play area outside your house.

 In Ottawa home renovation, they include fences as a part of the project. They hire people to install fences and decks to enhance the value or the appearance of their properties. There are different types of fences that you can choose from, depending on the purpose that they might serve. Surely you must also decide on what type, brands, colors, sizes and designs that will fit in your home.

 First, you can try the wood fences in Ottawa, On. This kind of fence is a classic type of fence. It can give your home a more natural look. They can be discolored to look more wooden or paint it with white. This might sound easy to do but it is actually a complicated one. It depends on the height, styles and sizes of the woods to be installed. You might need a certain set of tools and plenty of materials to complete the project. Wooden fences are the right choice in setting perimeters around your house and the materials work well with nature.

 Another type of fence that you can use is PVC fences in Ottawa. PVC fences vary in height, durability and strength.

                                       Policing Memories of

                                  Garry Crawford Circa 1962

                                              Part IV

     When our Detachment was still in the Roy’s Apartment building, I remember one time we were subject to an inspection by a certain Chief Superintendent from Toronto GHQ. This would be an inspection to ascertain if we were following Standing Orders. Standing Orders at this time consisted of a couple of looseleaf binders. As in all things, Standing Orders change from time to time, this is done by special bulletins that would be sent out from GHQ. It was up to each Detachment to refer to these bulletins which would be numbered and refer to a section in Standing Orders. Updating or changing the order to have a further or updated meaning. One thing about Dick Wood, he was very good at keeping things up to date. At any rate the particular Chief Superintendent was known to dig until he found fault then being very outgoing with his remarks. While looking through the files during his inspection this particular Chief, found one file that he thought was not in order. I was in the Detachment when he loudly called it to Dick’s attention. Dick kind of dropped his head then moved into his office and opened the file drawer,  digging out a bulletin. I could see what was going on Lol. Dick walked over to the Chief and handed the bulletin which showed Dick was right, as he did so he said: Of course I could have misinterpreted this bulleting Sir. The Chief took one look at the bulletin, seen that Dick was right and replied: Aren’t you a generous B!!%&$1d. I felt a laugh coming on and headed into the washroom. Dick said afterward, I just should have let it alone, but I couldn’t.

     During the first few years at Warren there was a real push on Traffic enforcement. Each Officer was expected to check a certain number of vehicles for equipment violations, plus do regular enforcement. We had one Sergeant Major who would drive out from Sudbury and ride in the cruiser with the officer on duty. He would get the member to stop his vehicle, then he would flag over oncoming cars for the officer to check. It took us a little while to catch on, but after a while we realized that if we did a real thorough job of checking the first couple of vehicles, he had to deal with the row of cars he had pulled over. Some of the people would get pretty hostile. He would stop waving people over and tell us to finish up. I was not particularly fond of traffic enforcement but I loved doing investigations of all kinds. Some of the members did not like doing investigations but preferred traffic enforcement, so it all worked out. At the time we had a lot of lone people living in the Detachment Area, both those that were more or less hermits and lived in some kind of shack or other flimsy dwelling and those that lived alone on small farms. I made it a habit to make contact with these people and find out about them, where their next of kin was and where they came from. I found it to my advantage in investigations and especially so when doing an investigation concerning these individuals. Most of them were very interesting people.

     The other thing I did was to keep a warning book on individuals that were local. I can admit now to giving warnings to locals. I would give each one a warning for the first infraction I caught them doing, for each year. The exception being if they were involved in a traffic accident. I found they were much quicker at giving you information if they felt you had given them a break. People have a different feeling towards you if they think you have been fair.

     I remember one fatal hit and run accident I investigated. Two friends were at a house party together. It was at one of their homes. The person who was later the victim, left his home and walked out onto the Concession Road just over a hill from the house. He knew his chum would be leaving shortly and wanted to give him a scare. The victim lay down on the roadway. The chum came shooting over the hill and drove right over the victim. He stopped took a look at his friend, panicked then left driving home. I was called to investigate, got a list of everyone who had been at the party and started checking. When I checked the chums vehicle I found blood spots and hair under the fender well. I have included a picture of that fender well. I questioned the chum and he subsequently admitted to what had happened. He was charged with hit and run under the Criminal Code, convicted and received 18 months in jail. It was a rather lengthy process, between the investigation, the court proceeding, trial and the serving of the sentence.  When the chum got out of jail, he got married and sent me an invitation to the wedding. I have told the forgoing stories, not to show what a great guy I was as some times I was not, but to point out two things. One was that in some of what should be serious matters there is humor and two that if you treat people in a proper manner and do your job, every once and a while when you least expect it some one will say thanks. Sometime it is in the most subtle way. Other times they will hate you. The good times make it all worth while.

                          The line Fences Act

     In the old Ontario Provincial Statutes we were required to enforce, there was a section in the Line Fences Act which stated that in Organized Townships the owner of cattle were required to fence in their livestock to control them, it also stated that in an Unorganized Township you were required to put up fences to keep the livestock out of your property.

     I had met an old farmer north of Markstay in Loughrin Township who raised fields of Peonies. He sold these flowers to various nurseries in and around Sudbury. His name was Charlie Hysert. I think Charlie was 94 or 95 when I first met him. He would go to his Markstay farm every summer and raise these peonies. He would spend the winters with his son somewhere down in the Ottawa Valley.

    There was a neighboring farmer who had a herd of about 15 cattle. These cattle were allowed to run free and foraged throughout the township. We will just call the neighbor Joe for the purpose of this story. Every year we would get a call from Charlie as the cattle would break down his fence and get into his field of peonies. I think I was sent there several times over sequent years. I would explain the law to Charlie then go to Joe and explain that Charlie did have good fences up however the cattle would simply break the fence down to get in at the flowers. Joe’s reply would simply state that he was allowed to let his cattle forage freely.

     The year Charlie turned 97 we received a call that Charlie had poisoned three of Joe’s cattle. I proceeded up to investigate. Sure enough there were three dead cows on Charlie’s property. Charlie explained to me that he had purchased several bags of Paris Green Insecticide for his garden. He had stored it in his garage with the doors closed. The cattle had broken onto his property and forced open the doors to his garage and ate the Paris Green. Paris Green is similar to arsenic and it poisoned the cattle. I could see the twinkle in old Charlie’s eyes, but I could not see a way to prove intent  on his part. I went to Joe and explained the situation and suggested he find a way to control his cattle from breaking down Charlie’s fences. That was the last time we got a call about the cattle.

     In September of that year I was making a patrol through that back country and stopped in to see how Charlie was doing. He had hired a fellow with a smaller caterpillar tractor to pull an old Cockshutt breaker plow that had been built in the early part of the century. Charlie was breaking new land. The following Spring Charlie did not return. I found out from the fellow who owned the caterpillar tractor that during the winter old Charlie had fallen and broken his hip. He never recovered.

  ---            A B O U T

“At every sunrise, I renounce the doubts of night and greet the new day with a most precious delusion.”

Skeleton: The Guileless

Age: 19

Gender/Pronouns: she/her

Hometown: Gatineau, Canada

Major: Political Science and Economics

Faceclaim: Josefine Frida Pettersen

Character blurb:

Her lips are painted a soft red, and you imagine it’s stained on the rim of a coffee cup somewhere. She’s shorter than average, her camel coloured coat coming down to her knees. You smile as you watch her struggle with her luggage, seeing her flush as she accepts help from an attendant, muttering a flustered and unnecessary apology. A lock of short, white-blonde hair has unhooked from behind her ear, and her voice is high and accented. She’s looking past you, mouth pursed as she rolls up onto her toes to scan the platform as it empties. She doesn’t seem to find who she’s looking for, the crestfallen expression could break your heart. Her name is on the tip of your tongue, you know she is an Augustine student, and you remember it as something precious. Pearl. Taking care to pull her bags close to her, she waits as the next train comes and vacates. Finally, she perks up at the sight of someone at the very end of the platform, nearly bent over under the heft of a cello case. She’s hopeful again, her green eyes are bright and her smile inches upwards, her hands clutched together like a child.

Developed Head Canons:

There’s often a baby in a big family like her own. She was the accident, the unplanned, with two older sisters in their teens at her birth. With her status as the youngest, it would’ve been easy to take advantage of the perks that came with it-- but Pearl was content to simply shine. She was her mother’s favourite, and she remembers her mother the most. The woman’s life had not been kind to her. She faded with each of her pregnancies, each swollen belly leaving her hair a little grayer and her crow’s feet a little more visible, each birth leaving her a little more hollowed out until she was nothing more than a living ghost. Her father was a crooked French-Canadian; his breath was always sour with whiskey. He didn’t bother with her much, his youngest, his bird-boned girl. She doesn’t remember a cruel father, just an absent one. She does not recall a weak mother, only a soft-hearted one. Her older sisters grew up like weeds, fast and strong; but she was allowed the languid, unhurried growth of a delicate ivy vine.

Hers was a soft prologue. If Pearl’s early years could be any colour, they would be painted in broad pastel shades– gentleness curves around all her earliest memories. They mask the darkness that really haunted the entire Renaud family. When she closes her eyes, Pearl doesn’t remember half-finished bottles of Jack Daniels sitting on the kitchen counter, or her mother’s lonely tears; her memories are rose-hued, paired with calliope music and romps up and down rickety steps, harmless misadventures and wonderful discoveries. In those days, her fingers had grasped at everything, but she’d always been kept safe and protected from real danger. She’d been given the opportunity to embrace a childhood of innocence, one that her sisters were ushered out of so quickly.

Her family wasn’t that good together, but at a time, at least they’d been whole. Patrice Renaud had inherited the family business, a trucking company that had expanded across the country. Trucks bearing the Renaud name cut the distance between provinces, carrying everything and anything. It was profitable, and it took her father away from home often enough. Bernadette Renaud was a high school sweetheart, too young to know what real love was until she was two babies deep into a relationship that was empty of it. She stayed at home to raise the children.

There are ten years between Pearl and her sisters. Adeline is the eldest Renaud sister. She’s finished medical school and her residency in Vancouver is almost complete, she hopes to lead her own family practice in the next two years. They keep in touch, the odd guilty phone call exchanged between them. The middle child is Laila, she took the most after her father, inheriting his best and worst traits. She should’ve been the one closest to Pearl, but she’s the furthest away. A lost girl, and one Pearl mourns just as equally as she does her parents.

They owned a decent chunk of property, the family home backed onto the Ottawa river. The house was old, it’d been in the family for generations. The porch was rotting and sagging, her father always swore he’d get someone to repair it, year after year. It looked like it was smiling at passerbys from the street. The stairs all creaked and the windows didn’t seal properly-- you could hear the wind howling through them in January. Her mother would stuff blankets into the cracks so they could sleep warm at night, and the little wood stove in the kitchen puffed a curl of white smoke into the sky. Development on the banks of the river made the property sell for something grossly inflated, and split three ways the profits of the sale were enough to line the pockets of the remaining Renaud’s significantly. With this money and a partial scholarship, Augustine turned from a pipe dream to a reality. The house has long since been bulldozed over, and the skeleton for a condominium has been erected over its bones.

Hardly sixteen and the glass walls of her snow globe world shattered, dissolved into headlines and sensationalized media stories. They called it a drunk driving accident, but this is what it was: man, late fourties, driving a sports car painted baby-blue, a few harsh winters away from speckling with rust. It’s between two in the morning and daybreak, and he’s travelling fast eastbound. His blood is soaked with alcohol. Witnesses say the vehicle swerved for fifteen miles, weaving between the yellow lines like a needle pulling through dark fabric. His wife is seated beside him, her face is scared and pale, her right cheek brushed with faded purple and yellow. The car drifts into the other lane. It’s chased out once by blaring horns, but the second time-- impact. There are no survivors.

It wasn’t childhood that was painful, it was growing out of it. After her parents passing, Pearl couldn’t find anyone to take her in. Her sisters had their own lives. Adeline was across the country in school, and Laila was thought to be somewhere along the east coast, hard to pin down and unwilling to be found. Pearl, still underage, was sent to various estranged aunts and uncles, tossed between the scattered remains of the Renaud family. She couldn’t always find kindness when she was intruding on other’s lives. She couldn’t count on the compassion of people she didn’t really know. Acceptance to Augustine with a partial scholarship promised her a home.

She’s a different girl now. She’s still soft, but she’s not reaching out blindly anymore; there’s no one left to protect her except for herself. Life without the rose-coloured glasses is certainly a little bleaker, and facing it can be too much at times, but it’s better this way. Now, she can finally see clearly. Now, she has to apply all her hard-learned lessons. This is her downfall, and her most precious, most beautiful quality. She still believes that the world has a way to right itself, to pick up the pieces and mend. She still believes in purity, in picket fences. Her heart will still beat and break in her chest, and it will continue to bleed for the girl she once was, and for the girl she is bound to become.

She has such a delicate heart; she doesn’t wear it on her sleeve so much as she offers it up in open palms. Life has been cruel to her, and it has made her stronger, but she hasn’t allowed it to make her hard. This is Pearl’s most prevalent theme-- she loves this world, even when it makes itself difficult to love. Her hopefulness is stubborn like that; she’s a girl who chooses to see the best in people, not because she’s unaware of their capability to do harm and cause pain, but because she believes that the good always outweighs the bad. She’s so hopeful that it’s almost naive, so hopeful that there’s something beautiful about it.

More Headcanons

Her roommate is a Russian musician named Oksana. She’s absolutely terrifying, and Pearl has spent the past year and a half treading carefully as she navigates the murky waters of Oksana’s dark humour.

She’s a double major, and also doubles up on multiple clubs and activities on campus. She’s always busy with something, even in the isolation of the Alps she manages to maintain a packed calendar. Slotting in time for her friends and Peter are high on her priorities, and you can always count on her to be there, exhausted, but present.

Coutts, Alta., mayor meets with truckers as protest at U.S. border continues

The mayor of a village affected by protesters at Alberta's main United States border crossing says he decided to cross the divide and meet with those who have been disrupting traffic there for nearly a week. Coutts Mayor Jim Willett says he didn't find anger, just a sense of waiting.

"I wasn't negotiating or anything else." "I was just there to see if they were as bad as some people had said, and they're not," he told The Canadian Press in an interview Friday.

"They're the same guys that I have for neighbors.'' "They're the guy that owns the farm up on the hill, the guy that hauls for the local businesses."

Trucks and other vehicles began parking on the highway near Coutts last Saturday in solidarity with similar protests in Ottawa and across the country over COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truck drivers and broader public health measures. One blockade, which stranded travelers and truckers for days, became two when a second one appeared further up the highway. Protesters later agreed to open some lanes for traffic so truckers could haul cargo across the border.

Willett said the protest has polarized his village. About half of its 250 residents support the demonstrators, and the other half just want them to go away. Willett, who along with his wife has been harassed at home by protesters, said he was asked several times this week if he had met with any of them, and the answer was always no.

So he went Thursday to a former saloon space where protest leaders have been meeting. He went back Friday to talk to the group again. Willett said he listened. He just doesn't agree.

Some of the protesters told him they wanted their freedom. But Willett said they're actually taking away the freedom of people in his village and are costing the economy millions of dollars in cross-border goods. "It's almost like you're being held hostage.''

Demonstrators have made their point, and it is time for them to leave so that people living in campgrounds can begin to mend their own fences, he said. "It's really polarizing, and… friendships have been torn up."

"There are people who think I'm a traitor." It may be years before we recover from this.' Several other protests involving truck and vehicle convoys are planned across the country this weekend.

Willett said anyone thinking about heading to Coutts should reconsider. "It won't be a good place to be.''

About 80 rigs remained Friday along the highway. The number appeared to be growing farther north, near the town of Milk River, where dozens of trucks, farm equipment, and SUVs sporting Canadian flags lined the pavement. Wood was piled near a burning barrel, several portable toilets were lined up, and a generator was providing electricity.

The RCMP said traffic was continuing to flow to the border, but travelers were still being asked to avoid the area because of the congestion. Cpl. Curtis Peters said there was no way to predict when the protest would end, but he understood there was growing frustration.

"I've spoken several times about how this has affected the town of Coutts and the town of Sweetgrass (Mont.). "We continue working toward bringing this to an end," Peters said he doesn't know what is going to happen, nor can he say if the police intend to take action.

"I don't have a line in the sand." This is a constant state of evolving evaluation. This changes minute by minute, hour by hour. The one thing that does stay consistent throughout is the constant dialogue that we're having.

“Two Years In Prison For Jail Breakers,” Ottawa Journal. June 26, 1918. Page 12. --- Young Gagnon Gets Time Double in Kingston Prison. --- Emery Gagnon, aged 17 years, and Cleophas Belisle, the youthful jail breakers who made their escape from the County Jail yesterday afternoon and were recaptured a few hours later, were sentenced to two years in Kingston Penitentiary, for jail breaking, by Magistrate Askwith in Police Court this morning. When they broke jail, Gagnon was serving a two-year sentence for shop breaking, and Belisle had served two months of a three month sentence for loafing. The sentences imposed on them this morning will run consecutively with the sentences they were serving.

‘Notwithstanding your youthfulness you are dangerous characters to be at large, and if I send you to Kingston Penitentiary I think they will be able to keep you there,’ Magistrate Askwith declared.

Their recapture yesterday afternoon was effected by Inspector Joliet and his squad after an exciting chase through New Edinburgh. Shots were fired by the detectives.

Escaped Via Plank. Gagnon and Bilisle were engaged with several others in putting a new cement floor in the coal shed at the jail in place of the old planking, which had been torn up. The men were carrying stone from the prison yard into the shed under the supervision of Turnkey E. Whitehorn. As the latter turned his back to direct work within the shed, however, the convicts picked up a plank and set it against the wall. Running up this, they dropped into the lane at the back of the prison yard and got clear away.

The police department was immediately notified of the escape. Inspector Joliet and Detective Downey set out in an auto, accompanied by Governor Dawson of the jail, to watch the roads and railway tracks leading from the city. Taking a circuitous route, they skirted the Montreal road and worked along to the back of Notre Dame and Beechwood cemeteries, after searching the bush between Rockcliffe and the river.

Seen Crawling Through Grass. It was on their return by way of Eastview and the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway bridge over the Rideau River that they first go on to the trail of their quarry. While Detective Downey took the car over St. Patrick street bridge, the Inspector and the Governor went over the railway bridge, stopping to search the island half-way over. The Governor remained on the bridge while the Inspector went over the island, and had not been long alone when he observed two men crawling through the grass on the further side of the river, among the wood piles.

In response to the Governor’ss whistle, Inspector Joliet ran up and went to the end of the bridge, from where he too saw the men, now running, and recognizing them by their overalls and straw hats as the escaped convicts for whom he was searching. He gave chase and the men made for Creighton street, running along Dufferin road, Mackay street and Vaughan street.

The Inspector, in hot pursuit, stopped Malette’s delivery auto and requested the driver, Marion, to turn and assist in heading off the criminals which he did. The fugitives, however, caught sight of the car through a gap in the streets, and, doubled back in their tracks, they leaped over a fence just as the auto came round the corner. Swinging back round the block, the driver of the car put on a spurt and came within a hundred yards or so of the fugitives as they raced up Electric ave. Here the Inspector jumped from the car and pulling out a revolver shouted to the ‘men’ to stop.

Fired at Fugitives. They refused to do so, however, so the inspector fired a couple of shots to frighten them, at which, Belisle flung himself down behind a bush, while Gagnon continued his flight. The former was easily captured and held by Inspector Joliet until Detective Downey came along with the car.

In the meantime, Gagnon had sought shelter in the bush which extends from Dufferin road to Government House, so the two police officers took up their stations at different ends of this. A number of boys had by then gathered in the neighborhood, having been attracted by the shots, and four of them, Albert Mandock, Norman Cody, John Hask and Walter Schroeder, were asked by the Inspector to beat through the bush and to whistle if they saw anybody.

Gagnon was by this means quickly shifted from his hiding place, and bursting out of the bush he made over a nearby fence quickly followed by the Inspector. Seeing, however, that his chance of getting away was now very slim, Gagnon suddenly turned and surrendered himself to his pursuer. In a few moments he joined his companion in the auto with Detective Downey and the whole party proceeded back to the jail, where the venturesome convicts were placed safely under lock and key. [Belisle died less than a year later in the hospital at Kingston Penitentiary, according to several other prisoners his end hastened by the neglect and laziness of the Hospital Officer]
