Canadian Truckers Convoy 2022 - The Leaf calls you a Nazi as he gasses you

So I've been wondering, but how have stores and restaurants been looking in Ottawa during these last 2 weeks? Have commercial supplies still been able to get into the city, or are businesses starting to run out of stock? I haven't gone looking, but I'm surprised I haven't seen anything posted here about bugmen on twitter complaining about a lack of toilet paper or fake soy burger meat or whatever yet.

My thoughts exactly. My inkling is that it'd take a month or so before supplies really start running empty.
 
Feds to address Ottawa protest as residents, protesters scheduled to clash in court

Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Treasury Board President Mona Fortier and Yasir Naqvi, MP for the downtown Ottawa riding snarled by the protests, are set to provide an update this afternoon.

There have been numerous calls for the federal government to manage the protest response, but ministers and MPs have taken a guarded approach so far, citing the imperative to keep politics separate from policing.

The press conference is being held online instead of on Parliament Hill, the scene of what some have called an occupation or a siege with numerous big-rig trucks and other vehicles parked in the city core.

Amid blaring truck horns, the demonstration has included open fires, makeshift feeding stations, encampments and numerous — sometimes profane — anti-government signs.

Some local politicians have called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take a more active role in the situation. Trudeau's itinerary says he is having private meetings today somewhere in the national capital region.

Protesters and some MPs are urging Trudeau to meet the organizers but the prime minister took that off the table a week ago, saying he had no intention of meeting with a "fringe minority" that holds "unacceptable views."

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh criticized Trudeau today for a lack of leadership, saying the prime minister "needs to be present" to deal with the protest, but had "not been visible" so far.

Singh said people felt the federal government "has been missing" and wanted to see leadership from ministers.

Singh wants an emergency debate in Parliament and blames the Liberals for using the protest as "a wedge issue." He said all parties should work together to find a way to get the protesters to “go home now”.

Meanwhile, an Ontario court is scheduled to hear arguments in a proposed multi-million-dollar class-action lawsuit on behalf of Ottawa residents who want protesters encamped in their downtown to stop honking their horns.

Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean had set a 1 p.m. deadline to get all documents and cross-examinations done before he would rule on one part of the proposed action.

Downtown residents seek an injunction to prevent truckers parked on city streets from honking their horns incessantly. Their lawyer, Paul Champ, says the loud and prolonged honking is causing irreparable harm.

Keith Wilson, representing three of the respondents in the case, told McLean the ruling on the injunction would carry national importance.

The hearing comes as Ottawa police get ready to provide more details on a series of arrests and seizures in response to what local officials have called an illegal occupation of the capital's core.

The so-called Freedom Convoy rolled into the national capital over a week ago and many in the hundreds of vehicles in the core have vowed to stay until all COVID-19 restrictions, including mask and vaccination mandates, are lifted.

City police say the situation has taxed their resources, and Ottawa's mayor has declared a state of emergency partially aimed at underlining the need for extra help from upper levels of government.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Sunday the province has given Ottawa everything the municipality has requested, and will continue to do so.

Ottawa police are expected to provide updates today on arrests and raids Sunday night, when officers walked away with litres of fuel and propane from protesters. Police have warned that anyone bringing items such as gasoline to demonstrators could be arrested.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 7, 2022.


Federal ministers are expected to provide an update Monday on the ongoing protests taking place in Ottawa.

Emergency Preparedness Minister and Queen's Privy Council President Bill Blair will be joined by Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Treasury Board President Mona Fortier, Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra and Ottawa Centre MP Yasir Naqvi.

A resurgence of demonstrators gathered in support of the trucker convoy in Canada's capital of Ottawa for a second weekend on Saturday. Protests against government mandates for COVID-19 vaccines and masks, as well as restrictions on certain businesses, have clogged the streets surrounding Parliament Hill for more than a week.

Organizers of the truck convoy have vowed not to leave until policymakers meet their demands to end public health mandates tied to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ottawa police say they made multiple arrests and issued hundreds of tickets across the second weekend of the protests in the nation’s capital.

The rhetoric and legal positioning is ramping up as well, with the police chief calling the ongoing protest a “siege” of the city, the mayor declaring a state of emergency and the city going to court to seek an injunction.

My parents used to park in front of my house in Ottawa when they would visit until the fucking city put in a bike lane and then they had to park down the block. What a bunch of cunts.
Canadian cities have been going to shit for a while now, in part because how municipally the NPCs keep voting for utter morons whose solution to everything is bike lanes and hyping up public transport projects which do nothing but fill the pockets of developers and architects.

Far too few realize or even accept that damn near every urban centre in this country is based around the car, they never try and design around it. Why bother when the tranny freaks keep electing you to your ward no matter how much you piss off the blue collar worker since turnout never tops 50%? We have a serious need for purging at all levels of government, yet nothing will happen until things like food and shelter are legitimately threatened.

Funny how this protest starts the ball rolling on one of those aspects.

Its almost funny how much this book mentions bike lanes:

Here's a video of police stealing fuel that was recorded by a trucker named Jim Kerr, which I found from @TDubOntario on Twitter. You're free to see more footage that he took here. I would suggest looking into the channel that posted these videos; they have a lot of footage of trucker protests in Ottawa in case you missed them.



Also, restaurants across Italy require proof of vaccination, so a bunch of people in Milan figured that they could just have a big buffet right outside them (courtesy of @RadioGenova).



By the way, if anyone can find the original source of buperac's Tokyo protest video, that would be great. I tried reverse image searching screenshots and still images of that video, but couldn't find a source. The earliest instance I could find of that video being posted is on buperac's Twitter; all other tweets I found with this video were reposts made after that. This is the video I'm talking about, in case you didn't catch the post.

This video was taken in Tokyo. According to @buperac, one of the signs has "the media is the virus" written on it
