"Freedom" marches/rallies

[metalblue]

Don’t agree with mandates from political bodies
Hinder cross border trade
Divide opinion

Sounds like a slightly less democratic Brexit

Trudeau has invoked Emergency Powers - a family tradition :)

That said, guns and financed by foreign cash means they can sell this move to most of the country.

Another Capital City Police Chief quits after proving to be no good at the actual job - maybe now a new broom will get the streets cleared

Ottawa police chief resigns amid anti-mandate protests

Canada's capital city has been paralysed by more than two weeks of anti-vaccine mandate protests.

It’s a funny old forum this where posters demand police action and crackdowns of protests whilst at the same time on other threads, demand an end to police action and crackdowns of protests.

The irony is perplexing.

The irony is perplexing.

Not really - the Sarah Everard vigil was for a few hours yet was broken up by Police action. People like insulate Britain descend on a motorway junction or a building and glue themselves down but are removed within a couple of hours. These truck protests are blatant Political challenges to fairly elected authority using mandates as a subterfuge for darker means - they have been in situ for about a month now and need to be removed - its not a legitimate protest

I like my roads. Can’t they just issue a ticket and then confiscate the vehicle?

Looks like Ottawa Police threatening arrest ( and possible jail ) and confiscation of vehicle. Will be interesting to see which end of line they start at - I'd start at the front - arrest the drivers - what the one's behind gonna do? Ever tried reversing a big rig thats 40 trailers deep in a jam? Though if you start at the back those patriots at the front who have vowed to hold the line will fuck off sharpish I bet

Fair enough. Even though I take issue with the "Using Mandate as Subterfuge claim." It's been banded about a lot. I think opposing the Draconian Mandate is a legitimate political fight.

Granted, I agree shutting down Cities for months may not be a legitimate way to protest. So I can't be too mad at Trudeau for exercising his natural Communist tendencies.

Lol. Been watching Rebel Media or reading content from Ezra Levant have you?

This is a special kind of stupidity.

Nah! I just listen to Justin Trudeau himself.

Okay you aren't actually being serious.

Please leave.

The irony is perplexing.

As is a privileged privately educated rich boy getting praise for being a little Hitler and calling working class protestors 'nazis' as he turns the police on them.
But l am also perplexed by the rich and powerful to the south who cried 'defund the police' and then scratch their heads when crime runs out of control.
The Atlantic Ocean is a good friend with all those barm pots/muffin pots on t'other side.
