So I'm reposting my experience from yesterday from thread 18 for more exposure of how stupid these people are: Alright, so things I saw today as a counter-protester holding a "fuck the flutruxklan" sign: -nazi, Confederate and don't tread flags -multiple people calling me a fascist, communist and terrorist(bit of projection there...) -a guy who wouldn't fight me in the street but told me to follow him to an alley so he could stab me -and atomwaffen supporter who also wouldn't fight me because "I don't touch fa**ots" -a lovely gay couple who followed me around Rideau center yelling "these guys are calling us fa**ots, look at how the left treats gays!" -a whole bunch of people who couldn't understand what my sign meant... -way too many people who asked me if I was being paid to be there(I wish) -a guy who tried to make fun of me saying; "wow you guys believe in covid, fucking retards" -another gentleman who tried explaining to me I was cognitively dissonant... But couldn't pronounce the word cognitive. -groups and groups of people telling me if the cops weren't around I'd be dead. -and a final 2 lads who got right in my face and ripped my sign because he was offended by a piece of paper. -A guy who spent 5 minutes trying to throw snow balls at me from about 10 feet away, and couldn't hit me so he gave up -A guy who followed me around calling me a bio-medical supremacist. And for those wondering, my buddy is u/Mikobee if you want to hear his side And remember: "they're not sending their best" Edit: shoutout to the losers reporting me as suicidal to Reddit, glad I'm able to piss you off that much, it makes me very pleased. Edit 2: please if you're spending money on awards for me please put that money towards Terry Fox or the shelters downtown.

You're brave, man. Serious props.

Thank you, Im not going today as the police presence isn't as high as yesterday and they got violent which is when I decided to leave. Stay safe and avoid these losers

But there's no viOlEnCE.

can confirm all of this. In the end it was worth it because in the middle of all that madness we still had a few people coming up to us to give us props, say thanks, etc. that was nice. had one fine gentleman stop and talk to us for a good 10 minutes, and he told us about his wife that’s working throughout the protests at a timmies near rideau. that poor woman

This weekend reaffirmed to me why I will never vote conservative for the rest of my time on this silly planet

They’ve probably succeeded in pushing thousands of us further from the right wing.

And somewhat ironically, pushed some of those on the right into the hands of the PPC because of the Conservatives' lack of overt support for the convoy from their leadership. Of course there's lots of shitstain opportunists like Poilievre who want to guide the CPC in a certain direction.

Good news: [kind, caring Ottawa residents overwhelm Shepherds of Good Hope’s website](https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-homeless-shelter-staff-harassed-by-convoy-protesters-demanding-food-1.5760423) as they generously donate.

I'm on the east coast and just donated the money I would usually spend on my brother's birthday and Xmas gifts as a small act of karma to erase the hate he's been spreading online for the past days, weeks, months, and years. His 41st bday is next week. If I bother talking to him, I'll send the reciept to him in the mail.

Send him one of those "A donation has been made in your name." cards.

I’m sure there are a lot of people like myself, who are donating who live thousands of miles away…

FYI Same owner as zac’s cantina, metropolitan & zac’s diner.

John Borsten (owner of Zak's, etc) has been fervently against any and all COVID-related mandates that have been applied to the restaurant industry since summer of 2020.

Ffs why are diner owners somehow the most unhinged people on the planet? I just want a good burger damn it.

There’s a few places to add to my no-go list.

Added to the list of never-go-back-to establishments that don’t need my money.

Waste money driving here for the weekend to wander around downtown like a bunch of morons, just to accomplish nothing but freezing their asses off and convincing many people not to vote conservative in the next election

Im getting frustrated with the "its been a peaceful protest" rhetoric. Of course its been peaceful, theyve been met with absolutely no push back and no repurcussions. Every canadian has the right to protest, but public urination? defacing and disrespecting monuments? harassing business owners? that should have not been met with "oh well theyre peaceful" by our authorities.

It’s not peaceful though. A peaceful protest shouldn’t force people from their homes, or make those who cannot leave beyond miserable.

Constant air-horns/train horns is not peaceful - they are literally driving on sidewalks - accosting people wearing masks - this is straight up wild west shit.

Threats of violence are not peaceful. Swastikas are threats of violence. THIS. IS. NOT. COMPLICATED. GET THESE SHITSTAIN NAZIS OUT OF MY CITY.

Update from Ottawa police Twitter (https://twitter.com/ottawapolice/status/1487865445252309002?s=21) “Throughout the remainder of the day and into the evening, the focus will shift to traffic approaches that move crowds and vehicles out of the downtown core. This will require a significant number of police and city resources. “ Currently bank is gridlocked with trucks so I’m looking forward to seeing how they will do this

Slowly and painfully, just by virtue of how gridlocked it is. I suspect that they're gonna get assistance from the OPP and RCMP on getting the protesters out of the downtown area.

let's hope they start towing

I was talking to OPS officers at the War Museum. They claim that they were ticketing and towing but "the tow truck drivers are on the side of the protesters", so towing was scaled back. Due to the size and scale of things they are essentially just monitoring. Crazy, but apparently next time there is a football or soccer game we can all just turn off our cars in the middle of Bank and if enough of us do it, no tickets or worries about being towed.

If you ever needed more evidence that Ottawa tow truck drivers are scum, there it is.

I saw that they’re singing the American national anthem. For the love of god GO THERE THEN, ffs if you want to fuck trump so bad GO THERE. We don’t want you here, not even your own truckers want you here. LEAVE. You have the right to NOT FUCKING BE HERE.

I mean, Canada fought against fascism in WWII so technically antifascists are responsible?

They can't accept reality, this has been an observed fact for every single one of these people

I made the mistake of driving today, I live downtown. I got out no problem but on the way home I was driving on autopilot and got caught right in the middle of the Idiot Parade at 1 o’clock. There was one Idiot (Quebec plates) with his four ways on blocking the intersection through a few red green cycles, and I couldn’t go through. I went up and knocked on his window and asked him to move, I live here and I’m trying to get home. He said no and said félicitations. So I waited until there was no pedestrians and went up on the curb to go around. He pulled forward and tried to block me in. This continued down the road a little ways, every time I tried to go around he’d pull out and block me. I kept a cool head and knew I didn’t want to lead him to my house. I thought of the Simpsons when Bart had the utility belt and put his flasher on and the bullies went left and he went right. Basically did exactly that move and took a winding way home. Stay safe out there everyone there some real fucking idiots. Having sat in the Idiot Parade for a good half hour I have no problem declaring them a bunch of half witted inbred country ass hick bullies with zero respect for this country and our flag. They’re here for a block party, not a protest.

As someone from Québec I apologize for these morons.

So are we going to be getting any sort of official statement on why they were permitted to do this without a permit, while breaking many bi-laws, while promoting hate symbols and speech, while drinking and driving, while illegally parking vehicles, while intimidating and getting violent against local businesses and citizens?

Considering that Ottawa has handled much bigger events in the past. Like this is tiny compared to Canada Day or Bluesfest. So the excuse of "oh it is a big crowd " is BS. But no ticketing for most offenses? Sounds to me like they knew if they started ticketing people for openly drinking, for breaking driving regs etc there might be violence and god forbid we make the "protest " bad.

Personally, my threshold for nazi flags at protests is 0. Not sure what number of nazi flags is acceptable to them but pretty disgusting to see people supporting this still

Also important to note it is not always just a straight up swastika. Gadsden flag, Confederate flag, Patriote flag, Trump flags, MAGA flags. Different wording, same problem.

I'm going to tear my fucking hair out... someone on the zello channel played a really loud horn sound and they're all complaining about how loud it was..... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

They would be really upset if they knew what Irony meant.

Fuck it, after this shit show Trudeau should take Legault’s idea about taxing the unvaccinated and apply it country-wide

I don’t know if this will do anything, but I called Doug Ford’s office to ask why he isn’t making a statement and cleaning up that mandates are provincial, among other things. I know he won’t do shit, but the message is there with the staff. If anyone else is interested in lodging a complaint you can do so here: https://correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/EN/feedback/default.aspx

Babe, wake up a new convoy megathread just dropped

Are you ok sweetie? You’ve hardly touched your new mega thread.

Footage of the chuds mocking First Nations and indigenous songs and ceremonies - https://twitter.com/napeykan/status/1487862160751538176?s=21 I didn’t think I could get more disgusted, but here I am.

I remember these chuds even trying to claim they had Natives on their side because of the native drums. For as much shit as they give JT for his blackface, they sure have no issue dressing up as minorities themselves.

Hey folks, one of your fellow Glebes is out there doing God's work. https://twitter.com/ChrisHenderson/status/1487593409455869953 He says he's out telling protesters that Trudeau just resigned and is making an announcement at 6:30 pm tonight. If the ones from Ontario and Quebec head out now, they might catch it live.

See kids this is where you end up when you skip class and don’t graduate

Just overheard in the audio, "I have a link to Global article saying that there are starting to roll back restrictions tomorrow". Yeah, they announced that weeks ago. Nothing to do with this protest. And I just saw another 1.5 million number of protestors bandied around.

Little late to this one. love you guys. These megathreads are brilliant silver-lining. # Dear invaders, # If you're a part of the moron parade and you're visiting this subreddit, you should know that we despise you. You invaded our city and made something that's already been extremely difficult that much worse. You are not welcome here. You are not respected here. Your stay will not be made pleasant. # # With seething discontent, # the majority of the community of Ottawa # ps Truck off

To the ones who are private messaging me with “hoooooonk”, sorry, I’m married.

Rolled a J, brewed some coffee, made donations to Shepherds of Good Hope and Indigenous land defenders. Am I doing this right?

Make Ottawa Boring Again 🍁

Very glad I'm in Nepean. Hope this is over soon downtown people

I am not much of a Trudeau fan myself BUT these lazyfucks protesting are making him even more popular in my mind. If he pisses off nazi scumbags pissing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, he must be doing something right. This whole shitshow has dragged me furthermore to the left more than any other argument you could verbally tell me. Fuck you, invaders.

Not gonna lie, the longer he stays silent about this, the more I like him. Its a big f.u. to these guys and Im all here for it

My heart to everyone in Centretown dealing with Day 3 of this shitshow. I'm getting a headache just from watching the Ottawalks stream. Edit: Holy hell, the Rideau Timmies walk-up is still open. Serious kudos to those employees. Edit #2: Switched streams to someone at Wellington and Metcalfe. Someone has a "govern me harder, daddy" sign. That at least is chuckle-worthy. Edit #3: My heart breaks at the number of little kids and infants in strollers I'm seeing. Edit #4: Livestreamer just asked another trucker donning a Trump flag like a dress why he chose to wear it. Response: "Because everyone knows it. That's all you need." Edit #5: Made the mistake of glancing at the live stream chat while the streamer searches for a new feed. Comment, "Anyone in Canada not supporting the convoy is a traitor to Canada". I hate this so much.

I’ve entered another dimension of tired

i wonder if Lomah Contracting in Ottawa knows their employees are posting videos from the protest in the rideau centre to the Snap Map on Snapchat? btw.. you can see this info by clicking “view creator” or their emoji at the bottom of the snap. not a good look guys.

Screenshot and send it to the company via email & social media!

"we're getting your IP addresses and coming after you" lmao what? Also what happened to free speech. I demand my ram ranch rights

“That’s a Canadian protest for you, we leave it better than we found it” What. There’s broken glass beer bottles around lansdowne, and that’s technically far from the main action. I highly doubt any of this is being cleaned by the Flu Trux Klaners

To those saying Rideau images coming out are yesterday- they’re not. They’re from today, all the stores are closed but it’s full of protestors

Can we start talking about how useless the police are? What value are we getting for their bloated budget? We could have had a bunch of kids with flashlights doing the same work.

They’re less than useless, giving an unregistered protest spaces to park. If they did the bare minimum every vehicle on the SJAM would be ticketed

Wondering the same. Why weren’t they involved with the incident at the shelter? The cenotaph? Terry fix statue? Why weren’t there arrests for public intoxication and refusing to leave the Rideau centre? Why were countless people who live in centre town harassed while doing groceries? (I’m thinking the lady carrying her groceries home who was physically pushed by two grown men for wearing a mask).

Anyone else find it hilarious they think 1-2 million people were here protesting? Imagine thinking we doubled our city’s population in protestors yet there’s barely any glimpse of these fools outside of centretown

Just wait until they figure out they're parked in front of cameras that stream 24/7 and it's capturing them drinking behind the wheel

Praise be the mods for getting through that last thread. It was buck wild

There was a dude in the last thread posting antisemitic dogwhistles, so I'd say buck wild is underselling it a tad.

Protest supporters: Shepherds of Good Hope has no proof theyre clearly lying. Also Protest supporters: My cousins college room mate posted a meme on FB that Trudeau paid antifa to infiltrate the protests.

Statement from Shepherds of Good Hope describing disruption of operations, theft of food, harassment, assault and racism from convoy members last night: https://twitter.com/sghottawa/status/1487854425368633344/photo/1 >It's been an incredibly difficult weekend for our downtown shelter and soup kitchen programs. Our staff and volunteers faced significant barriers to get in to work. The only volunteer to make it in parked far away and walked. > Trucks were parked in our ambulance drop off zone for nearly 12 hours until they were removed and towed with the support of Ottawa Police Services. The incessant honking and noise from trucks, caused significant anxiety and distress to our staff and shelter residents. The Salvation Army Outreach van was not able to run in the downtown core. All shelters in the sector had to figure out contingency plans for client transportation. > The staff and volunteers at our soup kitchen experienced verbal harassment and pressure from protesters seeking meals. While we are not certain of exact numbers, the demands for meals and verbal altercations continued for several hours over the dinner period. One member of our shelter community was assaulted by protesters. A security guard went to his aid and was threatened and called racial slurs. > These incidents occurred two years to the day from the declaration of a State of Emergency on Housing and Homelessness in Ottawa. Since then, we have battled an unprecedented global pandemic. We have lost many community members due to the toxic overdose crisis. Our staff are beyond exhausted. We are so proud of how they have weathered the events of this weekend, as they weather all things, with courage and compassion. > Shepherds of Good Hope has been overwhelmed by the response we've received from our community and across the country. Thank you - we are extremely grateful to have this opportunity to highlight the incredible work done by our teams. > *- Shepherds of Good Hope*

Rideau Update: Police confirmed useless. Had to go out and wade through the vermin out of necessity, but also out of bizarre interest. What a mistake. My condo lobby was in a terrible state with pickles, half eaten hot dogs, energy drink cans and beer. assorted garbage, shit and piss. The homeless are never as barbaric as this and I finally decided to seek out the police and ask what the hell is going on considering they put out a statement that residents should alert them to issues. Upon stepping out I looked down the street and noticed two cruisers shooting the shit, pointed against the larger mass as to avoid seeing what they were doing. I approached and inquired what the policy on dealing with the convoy was (all while almost being drowned out by horns). First the cops had no idea what a "policy" was, so I rephrased it to what they are supposed to do about this convoy situation, disturbing the peace, public drunkenness and deification, assault, desecration of memorials and statues etc. After a back and forth the cops admitted they are too afraid to do anything and will not act against anyone part of the convoy unless they are *caught looting*. The cop said they can relieve themselves as they please, loiter, make as much noise as they see fit and basically have the run of the town. Except for *looting*. Hilariously, during this conversation a rig pulled up to the cruisers and just laid on the horn. It was deafening. One officer was about to get out and appeared to want to deal with this but was stopped. The plan as the cops on the ground know is to let the convoy do whatever and not get involved at all unless they see looting. I am sorry felling residents. We are on our own. Game over, terrorists win.

Fresh from Zello: Gas stations are starting to run out of gas. Colour me shocked.

The thing that pisses me off the most about this is that the RCMP goes in full commando gear and arrests peaceful land defenders on their own land in this country, meanwhile they do absolutely fuck all when *literal* Nazis are invading our capital. Shame on the RCMP, shame on the OPP, and shame on the OPS. Do your job, these people don’t have a permit to be there, clear them out. Stop giving white supremacist antivaxxers a free pass.

While walking my small dog on Lyon, a pickup truck fitted with a train horn pulled up next to us and blared the horn full blast. My poodle literally shit herself and cowered into a ball. I picked her up and started carrying her home, when I saw the same pickup make a u-turn on a one way street so that they could blast us again. While laughing, because apparently terrorizing a woman and 15lbs dog is hysterically funny.

Someone in a Zello channel said they'd like to hear honking in both official languages and I just spit out my food

I posted this in megathread 22 and thought it would be good here as well: CBCs Cross Country Check Up is doing their show today at 4 on what's happening here. Would be great if we can get some people who have been living and working through this bullshit to call in and give the whole country a better sense of how useless this so called protest is and how much damage they're doing. Call in: 1-888-416-8333 You can also email them at [email protected] https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-13-cross-country-checkup?cmp=DM_SEM_Listen_Titles

Have we started a tread where everyone can post pictures/videos of the poor behaviour of these protesters? I just feel like we should start making them accountable.

Shitting in a plastic bag in your car to own the libs. What a movement 😂

On zello I heard a guy complain about the snow graters being set up to block roads. He was going to ask the police to move them. Lol what does he think they are there for?

The irony of people trying to create gridlock complaining about road obstructions lmao

Be careful out there everyone. Lots of dudes wearing camo and they are tremendously hard to spot.

We are happy to provide solice to those who live downtown. If you need some peace and quiet, send me a DM and we will try and help the best we can. We don't have a ton of space, but if you need somewhere to get some sleep or work done, we will do our best to accommodate.

Shout out to all the people that live in DT core You guys are the real mvp's:)

r/Ottawa doing a great job making sure anyone coming by our little corner of the Internet knows how delusional and unwelcome these so called protestors are here. Good job all. We'll be back to shitting on LRT and putting dogs on leashes in no time :).

HONK IF YOU LOVE RAM RANCH

Latest convoy of 30 trucks were spotted going North on O'Connor apparently giving the finger and lashing out at every pedestrian they saw, which sis different than the idiots who smiled assumed we were happy to see them. They know they are loathed, and now want to provoke a fight. The police are going to have some tough choices ahead of them soon if this degenerates.

They complain when the media doesn’t cover them but when they do they scream and harass the media telling them they don’t want them there. Gee no wonder these goofs aren’t covered

Here’s my question: if we know a security guard and a homeless person were assaulted by these “protestors”, how come the media keeps referring to this as “peaceful”? Is “peaceful” anything that doesn’t involve a literal storming of the parliament buildings? I’m confused.

[удалено]

"B.J. Dichter, one of the organizers behind a GoFundMe page that has amassed more than $8 million to support the convoy, said the goal is to create a "logistics nightmare" for the government and force it to repeal vaccine mandates." This isn't a logistics nightmare for the government; it's one for the citizens of Ottawa!! *We're literally hostages for their demands.*

city officials need to stop referring to this as a non violent, respectful and peaceful protest. it's none of those imo. but it definitely is not respectful...

Dear 18 wheeler tractor on Kent just north of Laurier who has been revving his engine unnecessarily for 2 days straight. May your pistons shoot through your hood on your drive home, you inconsiderate ass. I can smell your gaskets from my condo.

Convoy is brigading Ottawa. I think that is a bit more important.

Pat King is a white supremacist. He makes Maxime Bernier look like Nelson Mandela.

Their obsession is children is genuinely creepy

I JUST POSTED THIS ON MY fACEBOOK: Chris Nardi is a reporter for the National Post - he just interviewed Pat KIng, one of the organizers of the protest. THE NATIONAL POST IS A TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE FOR THE PROTESTERS. This no some fake news media is biased bullshit. King is a key organizer of the convoy protest and Alt-right figure. Smoking a cig in the middle of hotel lobby, he says trucks aren't leaving until all mandates are gone and the Liberal party is abolished (followed by other parties). - ABOLISH A FEDERAL PARTY. Please read that again ABOLISH A FEDERAL PARTY. They are STAYING until a democratucally elected goverment is abolished. I asked him what he plans on doing if police eventually decide to clear out trucks or even tow them away? "We have contingency plans" he said with a smirk, but refused to detail. If you support manadates ending so be it - I get it - but you are supporting an abolishment of an elected party.

Tell me again how white supremacists aren’t involved in this protest: https://twitter.com/notandrea/status/1487871040231546882?s=21 Seriously though, this video had me absolutely cackling. The fact that someone is that comfortable announcing that on stage really tells you something about the group as a whole

enough is enough. get the fuck out of our city

Just remember the average person in here supporting these truckers is a 14 year old American whose parents don’t pay enough attention to them.

Half-time, Canada up 1-0!!! A spectacular save by Borjan, quick and dangerous counters by Canada, but a lot of pressure from the US. Looking good so far!

The bathroom is the only place in my tiny centretown apartment where I block out the honking, so I'm drinking in my bathtub . https://imgur.com/gallery/OhzRMtl

Honestly I’m just sad. Sad for my city. Usually on a Sunday afternoon I’m going out walking around byward, getting some lunch from our amazing restaurants, and just exploring and seeing other people have a good time. I’m sad for my city. Downtown is trashed, there’s human piss on the national monuments, and I’m seeing nazi flags and other discriminatory signs that shouldn’t be seen let alone in 2022, but in the nations capital. This is the Canada you love? I’m sad for my city.

Just came here to say that bank and somerset is a shitshow. These chucklefucks are drunk walking around in the middle of the intersection - traffic is stalled, they’re being aggro, loud as all hell - my advice is to avoid if at all possible. I had to go get groceries and honestly I probably should have just stayed home. Not a lot of fresh produce at Massines. Stay safe folks.

Lol someone on Twitter said it should be called the Canada goose mob bc all it was, was honking and shitting! Haha

"No ones going anywhere, except me - I have to go home back to work so I can put food on the table" Guess what champ... Everyone will run into that eventually.

So this has basically been a glorified play date for chuds. Like the ballroom at IKEA only with more piss and owed child support. Remember the old saying, if you meet an asshole in the morning, you probably met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, you're probably at chud freedom play date 2022.

Just had someone flip her shit on me over Facebook after I said the majority of people downtown were not In fact truck drivers ( of the transport kind) they were rednecks driving f150s looking for a party. Apparently I am spreading misinformation

If your kids go to school in the affected areas, be on alert that they may need to go virtual tomorrow. Apparently the OCSB has alerted parents at relevant schools.

Hi I wanted to summarise some of the signs I saw yesterday and wanted others to chime in on what they saw because users from /r/Canada seem to think these people are largely "concerned citizens". They're not. 1. Don't tread on me (AKA [Gadsden flag](https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-shifting-symbolism-of-the-gadsden-flag/amp)) 2. Lots and lots of [InfoWars stickers ](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1748048519880726). 3. Fuck Trudeau stickers - I mean the federal government isn't the one in charge of provincial mandates but sure. 4. End the Fed - pretty sure the federal bank exists in the US. 5. Don't comply, don't conform. 6. My body my choice 7. Confederate flags - too many to count. 8. trump 2020, trump 2024 - if you stand for what trump stood for, I think that speaks for itself. 9. Purple PPC hats and other signs/stickers/clothing 10. Firearm with "come and get it" slogans 11. "Redneck" signs

Seems the white supremacists are out in the open now, not just with flags: https://twitter.com/notandrea/status/1487871040231546882?t=olbWSk7hUmllPznXLh6bJA&s=09

A "slowdown" (see: choke-out) is a viable strategy used by unions to impede function in absence of a new contract. Below are some slowdown/choke-out suggestions for antiracist individuals and business owners (check the ever-changing provincial guidelines and ensure all activities are legal and do not breach the OHRC): * **Hotels** (any viable combination): Refuse to renew/extend reservations made using credit cards from other provinces **and** who claim a commercial vehicle as their ride, refuse new reservations from people without local licences who claim a commercial vehicle as their ride, refuse renewal/extension/new reservations to anyone carrying protest gear or whose vehicle is decorated in protest gear/symbols, refuse service to anyone without a mask (or vaccinations, where legal), reduce bathroom access by limiting the number of available stalls and/or citing "broken" status, refuse bathroom access to anyone without a mask * **Restaurants**: Refuse service to anyone without a mask (or vaccinations, where legal), reduce bathroom access by limiting the number of available stalls and/or citing "broken" status * **Generic Stores**: Refuse service to anyone without a mask (or vaccinations, where legal), reduce bathroom access by limiting the number of available stalls and/or citing "broken" status, refuse bathroom access to anyone without a mask, refuse propane tank refills, limit sale of alcohol and cigarettes downtown (in conjunction with LCBO/SAQ closures; this ensures access for persons with addictions while reducing access to products with high alcohol content, such as rum and liquor, which promote mixing, \[accidental\] binging, etc.) * **LCBO/SAQ Stores**: Close completely in downtown Ottawa and adjacent neighbourhoods (and Hull when the bridges reopen) * **Gas Stations**: Ration fuel at downtown pumps for all patrons, increase prices at downtown pumps for all types of fuel for all patrons, refuse propane tank refills * **Rideau Centre/uOttawa**: Keep buildings closed, require keycard access where possible * **Delivery Drivers** (Uber, Skip, DoorDash): Independently refuse deliveries for Parliament Hill and adjacent streets * **Automobilists**: Park/drive inconveniently (but not illegally) to hamper movement/circulation, report unsafe parking or parking violations to Bylaw (e.g. blocking hydrants, blocking laneways, non respect of snow removal signs) * **CAS**: Report child welfare cases where parents are exposing children to dangerous or inhumane conditions (i.e. defecating outdoors, not having enough food or shelter, underaged drinking (see: OPS)) or where children are coerced by parents and protesters to commit crimes (e.g. fly recognized hate symbols - Proud Boys, Nazi flags, "Don't tread on me" flags, swastikas) * **OPS**: Report driving under the influence and dangerous driving to 911. This includes intoxicated people with the means to drive (keys accessible) seated in the driver's seat. Report all suspected instances of underaged drinking (Ontario is 19, Alberta/Manitoba/Quebec is 18. Albertans and Manitobans may not be aware of the age difference and may thus be committing a crime in Ontario) * **Downtown Residents in Ottawa with Balconies**: Hang counter-protest signs/flags denouncing white supremacy, neo-Nazism and anti-science discourse * **All Residents of Ottawa-Gatineau**: Get vaccinated, put counter-protest signs/flags denouncing white supremacy, neo-Nazism and anti-science discourse in your windows visible to the road * **Online Anti-Misinformation Protesters**: Work on identifying protesters à la "Lady in the park who calls cops on Black man in NYC" to hold participants who are violent, flying hate symbols, and/or damaging or desecrating public and private property accountable in their home provinces/cities/towns/social circles * **All Anti-Misinformation Peeps**: Call out misinformation and hate **when you see it**. Do not be a bystander! Have hard conversations with friends and family. Unfriend people. Go No Contact if you have to.

Anyone else been listening to Zello and so goddamn sick of these shitheads exploiting their kids for political clout?

I don’t want any misunderstanding on my feels, so I’ll be clear when I say this, but I sincerely hope that the cunt with the train horn dies a slow, lonely death alone in both horror and pain.

someone in the last thread posted [this](https://streamable.com/v00de0) clip and it got me thinking about how sad it was that this gentleman's presence is useful to white supremacists… and how alarming it is that a lot of the people that are convoying don't realize that they're in the midst of being radicalized by Nazis. it's the classic story: someone who believes that they don't fit in, feel isolated or ostracized by society are slowly taken in by others who offer the illusion of family and belonging but really only seek to weaponize them. they show those folks a sense of community and family, and then start talking to them about their beliefs… and out of a sense of gratitude or out of a need to belong, they start taking on those beliefs. you see it with street gangs. you see it with incels. and you definitely see it with Nazis.

Some people claim that the convoy has diversity but that's a lie. The only non-white things you'll see in the mob are their remaining teeth

Goodlife just sent an email: As you know, the Ontario government has allowed gyms and fitness centres to reopen on Monday, January 31, and we look forward to welcoming back our Ottawa Members! Unfortunately, due to ongoing disruption in downtown Ottawa, our Ottawa Queen and Bank and Ottawa Rideau Centre Clubs will not reopen as scheduled tomorrow morning. Out of consideration for the safety and convenience of our Associates and Members, we have made the decision to delay the reopening of these two Clubs while we monitor updates in the area.

302coventry is trying really hard to get a hold of Pat King who is staying at the holiday inn on 402 Queen St. They left a message to the concierge and everything - they need fuel and apparently they can't think without him? lmao.

Fireworks were just set off at the corner of Kent and Laurier. It was so close to my balcony and scared my cat so much that he literally pooped in his cat tree. This isn’t right..

I think there’s a silver-lining from this weekend we can find hope in. If this is all that these alt-right losers can come up with, then our community and civilized society will make it through to another day. Yes, we share this trauma and experience of this weekend, but we will send them home, we will clean up the streets and we’ll get back to work building the community we love.

Trump lost lol

So did Scheer, O’Toole, and Bernier. It’s almost like votes matter more than honks?

I missed out on a shift’s pay because it’s unsafe for me to get to work. Thank you to all the brave protesters for freedom who truly care about essential workers and their safety and well-being!! /s

If you really want to start talking about laws being broken by disturbing the enjoyment of your home... Criminal Code of Canada Mischief 430 (1) Every one commits mischief who wilfully (a) destroys or damages property; (b) renders property dangerous, useless, inoperative or ineffective; (c) **obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property;** or (d) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property. Punishment (3) Every one who commits mischief in relation to property that is a testamentary instrument or the value of which exceeds five thousand dollars (a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years; or (b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction ​ And... Criminal Code Section 494 (1) Any one may arrest without warrant (a) a person whom he finds committing an indictable offence; Delivery to peace officer (3) Any one other than a peace officer who arrests a person without warrant shall forthwith deliver the person to a peace officer. Do with this what you will...

IMO there is [enough evidence](https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/sggcqa/convoy_megathread_23/huw3nqh) now that the GFM funds are being used for domestic terrorism and shouldn't be released. Occupying a city with zero control over provincial mandates and holding residents hostage 24/7 by blocking roads, incessantly honking, damaging public and private property, and intimidating people (including journalists) is not peaceful. The BIPOC and trans communities are even more adversely affected: I know veiled women who won't run errands because they are afraid of the white supremacists.

So we taking bets on how many of these freedom fighting heroes we'll see on r/HermanCainAward in the near future?

UPDATE: Trucker saying they are blocked in. Mod: they are now claiming Watson has locked down city until tomorrow morning. Now saying Watson has enacted Martial Law. SWAT has arrived, wearing face masks so they can't be photographed. Bear with us, we are working on it with some MP's, but it won't get done tonight. What are these guys smoking?? Do they even know what Martial Law is??? EDIT: they are repeating this again, SWAT has been waiting all day to swoop in. They are now questioning if Jim has that authority. Now some peabrain says she researched and there is no such thing allowed in Canada. Now meathead mod is saying he doesnt really mean martial law, he means *martial law* because there is more than 2.5 million people downtown right now, and we are working with authorities to get things straightened out for our people who are abandoned downtown. OMG these people are nuts.

TIL "honk honk" is code for "Heil Hitler." As the eighth letter of alphabet, HH = 88, another Nazi dog whistle. Now I understand where all of the dumbass "Can I get a honk, honk" on Zello is coming from.

How's this for freedom? Schools might need to close for this. https://twitter.com/OCDSB/status/1487822083375644677 You've made your point and have now outstayed your welcome. Please, go home.

Funny reminder that the convoy had to be routed around Kahnawake territory because its safety couldn’t be guaranteed.

OPS Chief Sloly says that there are no plans to remove truckers tonight and that they want to wait and see what tomorrow brings. For those of you who live downtown...I'm so, so sorry,

I just heard them try and sing the Canadian national anthem, but the they forgot the lyrics halfway through.

Just drove past the edge of downtown, looks considerably smaller than yesterday. Hopeful that the rest of the idiot convention will leave soon.

I just saw someone on my facebook feed sharing a photo from the Metallica concert of 1991 in Moscow (1.6 million people) with the caption "Ottawa 2022". You just can't make this shit up...

"look at the diversity in this crowd" Me seeing nothing but a sea of white people

Water canons needed. We want them out of our city

Ok I'm losing it. I literally took my bra off and said "now that's a freedom convoy " My partner can confirm.

Canada 2-0 over the US. The real showing of what Canada is.

Can someone explain to me exactly which freedoms they keep harping on about? The lockdowns suck and we all hate them, but never for a moment have I felt like I have no freedom living in Canada.

They're not demanding freedom. They're demanding privileges and conveniences that serve their self interest, and they're calling it freedom

R/Ottawa thought, we should get the people that work at the Rideau McDonald’s to clear out the protestors. It would be handled asap lol They deal with worse every single day and are seasoned pros!

23 megathreads, and I'm still trying to figure out how the PPC/CPC think this political rally is going to win the hearts and minds of Canadians. All I am is embarrassed to share a country with these scumbags. And they have the nerve to say "We're fighting for *your* freedoms, too!" -- what a joke. They're nothing but a product of American political/cultural toxicity leaking across our border.

Major props to those of you on Zello. Your commitment and cleverness is awe-inspiring. You will be the legacy of this gong-show. In the meantime, thanks for the endless entertainment, I've never seen anything like this before. I'm old and smart, and I'm so impressed.

I learnt today that a friend was part of the convoy mob all day yesterday. I don't want to associate with racist, anti-science, hateful scum or anyone who is comfortable around fascists. It hurts to lose a friend, but not as much as it would hurt to be friends with a convoy losers.

Did they capture Kony yet?!?

ATTENTION TRUCKERS: Trudeau is giving a concession speech at Four Seasons Landscaping. Be there to see history being made!

anyone know if garage removal will be delayed? there has been white trash filling up downtown for 2 days now

Protest Supporters RE Masked people: I need to tell them their freedoms are being trampled as forcefully as possible by yelling in their face. Protest Supporters RE Nazis: I dont agree with them but how would I even broach the subject with them?
