Unregistered Cadillacs cause social media uproar; NO clear explanation from customs

COLOMBO (News 1st); Netizens have expressed serious concerns over the sighting of two unregistered Cadillac Escalade Full-Sized SUVs being transported along the Southern Expressway.Each vehicle costs over 50 Million Sri Lankan Rupees, and duty of over 30 Million Sri Lankan Rupees is due per vehicle.When News 1st raised questions about these vehicles from Sri Lanka Customs, we did not get a clear response.Customs Spokesperson Sudaththa Silva told News 1st that information can be provided after looking into the matter further.Questions are being raised across many platforms as to who owns these vehicles, and how were they imported to the country at a time when a forex shortage has held up over 2,000 freight containers with essential goods at the port?Shouldn’t there be a proper explanation from the authorities over such events?

Canadian police response under spotlight following Ambassador Bridge clearing

“Freedom Convoy” protests, started by Canadian truckers opposing a vaccinate-or-quarantine mandate for cross-border drivers, have turned into a rallying point for people opposing the policies of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s government, covering everything from pandemic restrictions to a carbon tax.Meanwhile a social media outcry has been triggered by images of police mingling with a sea of protesters in Ottawa, helping some put a fallen tent back up, and one video showing an Ontario Provincial Police officer telling demonstrators “I support you guys 100%.”The police department said the officer’s comments were “not in line with the OPP’s values” and they were investigating.At least two members of Canada’s Special Operations Forces are also under investigation for allegedly supporting the protests, the military said. Windsor’s Ambassador Bridge border crossing reopens following COVID-19 protest Hundreds of counter-protesters on Sunday blocked vehicles trying to join the protest in downtown Ottawa, frustrated by what they said was police inaction.“We need to come together as people and say this will not stand,” said one demonstrator in front of the city’s police headquarters who said he was an Ottawa resident, but declined to give his name, fearing reprisals.

Mapping the trucker convoy in Ottawa: ‘no one’s leaving here’

so-called “freedom convoy” that has snarled downtown Ottawa streets is widening its grip on the city, sprawling out in new, smaller encampments scattered around town.And while the police say they’ve negotiated movement of some trucks around the city, there are protesters in various encampments who continue to dig in their heels.“If trucks leave here, they’re going out on a convoy. They’re going to join the rest of the trucks,” said John Bancroft, a coordinator for the encampment site set up on Coventry Road — a short drive from downtown Ottawa.“No one’s leaving here until the mandates are lifted.” Trudeau calls on all parties to denounce ‘illegal’ trucker occupations, blockades But in the days since, that setup has shifted — and Global News has created a map of what the convoy protest’s encampments look like now.The original location of the convoy, Wellington Street, remains lined with trucks and regular vehicles.
