Is infringing on someone's right to freely assemble because they're breaking noise bylaws and the highway traffic act a lawful order? There's 0 reason the CAF needs or should be involved in a non-violent protest that's just inconviencing upper middle class Liberals in downtown Ottawa. How quickly people forget the debacle of Oka.
At some point protests become unlawful. This one became unlawful a few days ago. So authorities are actually being quite tolerant at this point.
Are you sure you’re not from Toronto?
The first they should do is start with a court injunction. Start with the actual systems in place to deal with it.
Oh man. First rule of social media:
Never read the comments.
Upper middle class folks who can afford a house are NOT living in downtown Ottawa. They're in the suburbs like the Glebe, Kanata, or the Golden Triangle (which is close to, but not where the trucks are right now).
Nope. Are you from Alberta?Are you sure you’re not from Toronto?
Exactly. I don’t think he’s actually from Ottawa though so that would be understandable.
My point stands for any city in Canada (arguably North America).
Quite tolerant? There's been what, 2 or 3 arrests? No reports of violence or confrontations with police, only amiable conversation and videos of the protestors cleaning up garbage and shoveling snow. I totally get it, you've bought into the Liberal party line of "theyre against us so they must be racist" but it's awfully convenient there's been no more reports of nazi or confederate flags after the protestors themselves tossed those morons out. Media isn't even trying to do investigative journalism to find out who they were.
Just keep them away from Westboro
Yes tolerant. I’m not sure what we are arguing? An unlawful gathering that’s been allowed to stay for 5 days with little or no arrests or tickets. So Why are you taking issue with that? They didn’t even have a permit. So yes, Ottawa has been quite tolerant. I’ve seen crowds dispersed to far less.
I’m pretty sure Toronto won’t be very tolerant. And Quebec City will end it before it starts. Being a fort city has advantages."This is Scarborough baby, they don't play that sh*t."
Well, I did say "depending on the circumstances." If someone is tasked to enforce the law of the land as it exists, and they choose not to, well, there's consequences to that. Same with a cop choosing not to enforce a law of the land because they disagree with it. That said ...
1000000% agreement at this point
Most of my cousins are, and Saskatchewan, oil & gas workers mostly, but no, as it turns out, I’m actually originally from Toronto but emmigrated before it became the center of the Canadian universe.
Ever see a tractor up on blocks? You might this weekend if they roll through Morning Side, Bendale, or Warden Woods."This is Scarborough baby, they don't play that sh*t."
