Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

[Brad Sallows]

If he's trolling for "aid to the civil power" over this, I hope someone slaps him into sensibility.

The reporter in your picture looks more relaxed with the folks being interviewed than the ones at the "Freedom" thing.

Considering the intestinal fortitude of some journalists here, it's understandable.

Globe and Mail reporter says she’s ‘triggered’ by the sight of the Canadian flag

“I had the weird sensation of being triggered by the sight of Canadian flags. It was just awful.”

Haven’t seen anything yet but should be interesting…

If I remember correctly unless Ottawa has a special status like Toronto, it would have to be Ontario that requested it.

The majority of anti vaxxers are racist, misogynists and anti science after all.

You left out a few. Homophobic, transphobic, right wing extremists....

I doubt it even comes close. Canada is not normally known for using its troops against its population.

But being able to fight Nazi Confederates in this day an age has an interesting appeal.

Yeah, but I get the feeling that all the woke folks don't really care about these people unless they are given an opportunity to bash the police or military.

I expected the calls for violence to take a little longer.

This is one of my favs

It’s basically a foreign occupation and we actually have to think before using the army?

Thinking before using the army against your own citizens? Lame.

 

[Spencer100]

Who's foreign? The truckers? or just anyone who doesn't think like a Liberal?

Sure bring out the army. It will be interesting to watch that. I don't think there will much support for that. But I could be wrong.

Watching then press conference now. OPS chief looks like he wants the military.

"Soldiers, in the streets, with guns".

Not sure. Claims that money and even a lot or some of the truckers that remain might be American. American truckers said to be on their way. Just what I’m watching at a press conference right Jon’s.

 

[Spencer100]

Sure Trudeau do a "just watch me". I don't think I would be going to far by saying that could blow the confederation apart. But on the other hand Canadians are a slow to move bunch so it could work.

Hey if given the order to remove by force........hmmm....

I wonder what for.

But Sloly said Monday that things could be much worse.
“It could have led to significant and severe injuries, and it could have led to the loss of life,” he said. “None of that has occurred over the last four days.
“No riots, no injuries, no deaths. That is a measure of success for any jurisdiction in Canada, and quite frankly anywhere in the world.”

More from the press conference.

SQ and OPS are looking to have the person who danced on the tomb to turn themselves in or be identified, active investigation into that person’s activities that day.

Firearms being brought in by demonstrators

Blockades to prevent more trucks coming in.

Enforcement escalating and three arrested plus 25 other investigations

100 trucks and remaining protesters are getting more “volatile”

Police intel have identified funding from the US

Possible counter protesters coming

So, serious question. If trudeau and the liberals think confederate and nazi flags are the end of our civilization, why doesn’t he ban them? I'm sure they'd get plenty of support. It's not like he's incapable of curtailing or diminishing our Rights and Freedoms anyway. Free expression is trampled all the time.

Unless of course, maybe it's too good a symbol for trudeau to use in his messaging to make anyone right of his twisted ideologies, a racist, anti Semitic, islamophobic, BLM hating, homophobic, transphobic extremist (did I miss any?)

Or his ability to try attach them to conservatives.

He's such a hypocrite

 

[Remius]

No clue how or what he means.

Why the military? Don't we have police public order units...

Well being serious, If private tow operators will not supply services. The only other organization at their command would be the army. They are the only government org equipped to move trucks.

Maybe Ontario needs a new OPS Chief instead
