This is one of the big advantages of this freedom movement spreading out from Ottawa and dispersing to all major cities. Average people will see and experience things firsthand, rather than merely hearing what the lying press and lying officials have to say about it.The only people who believe what the govt is saying about this ~racist violent occupation movement~ are the people who don't a) go outside or b) don't look for information themselves - but the longer this goes on, the more those people have a chance to see it for themselves and change their minds. That's why they want to crush it ASAP.
I wouldn't be surprised if a few counter-protesters flipped sides today after seeing it firsthand.
Not only that, but with localized protests, the authorities will have a lot of stuff to manage all at once, both in terms of attention and resources being split. No more deploying the Toronto police to Ottawa, for example, because they're needed where they're supposed to be in Toronto.
Furthermore, there should be a lot more attendees. It's a lot easier for someone who lives in Scarborough to afford the time and money commitment to visit the demonstration in Toronto than Ottawa, let alone people much farther away, such as Vancouver or Halifax.
