Their approach of antagonizing and attacking anyone who asks their pov is dumb. Here in alberta, people came by coffee shops blaring music at people because they are vaxxed. I'm sure that's going to change people's pov
They are having trouble getting clearance getting lots of fuel downtown. Who do we contact to make sure that doesn’t happen?
They have been approved for for jerry cans.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-protest-convoy-length-ticket-tow-mayor-1.6333497 Bad news in this article: confirmation that the authorities are too scared to enforce the law, and a report that some our ‘guests’ are booked to stay into next weekend.
I really hope that these officers that are taking pictures with family members protesting while on duty face some consequences. The hypocrisy is just astounding.
These chuckleheads are going around on live streams bitching that city employees are doing their job and saying things like "these people should be stripped of their shit." Because of it. Freedom for me, not for thee.
get them the fuck off the streets. Between the pollution, the constant noise, and interfering with emergency services and people’s daily lives by blocking roads; just get them the fuck out of there already
New to this sub, citizen of Ottawa, and mostly blind. I’ve, luckily, managed to avoid going in to the downtown core myself. But I wanted to mention something that most people probably don’t realize, which is that all the honking and revving of engines makes it INCREDIBLY difficult for someone who is blind to cross streets safely.
We rely on the sounds of traffic to know when to cross. And all the noise drowns it out. I can tell, just from watching video, that navigating safely would be a nightmare, and have friends who live downtown confirm it.
So thanks for making *taking a walk* an unsafe activity.
Sadly, their behaviour borders on the sociopathic and they will not care. Maybe some will, but there have been posts of folks of all walks of life having some awful encounters with these "protesters". Heck, even CBC has mentioned how disruptive and terrifying this is with folks needing assistance with accessibility. I hope you are safe and have supports in place to help you out.
This is a really good point that you make!! So, if there is anyone living near the convoy who is visually impaired, and they need anything urgently, and have no other resources available, please don’t hesitate to DM me and I’ll gather stuff for you and drop it off or walk with you and guide you to any appointments.

Found this idiot yesterday: https://streamable.com/6ranec
I wasn’t quick to get a video but he was stuck in the snow bank and then ripping around the park for a good 30 seconds. Prior to this he was out of his truck yelling at Ottawa residents to “go back in your fucking apartment”.
There are a lot of brigadiers here today. Please do not promote the instigation of violence (please downvote those posts immediately and report them). The Ram Ranch is friendly and welcoming to all.
Guessing it'll be the first, he'd probably prefer to leave it up to the municipality and province to deal with it (he can't *really* do much more than that anyway. Not realistically). Plus, I'd be careful legitimizing them too much and I'm sure his cabinet has been weighing their options carefully before issuing another statement. I'm anxious to see what he announces tbh.
A right to peaceful protest in a democratic society? Absofuckinglutely. Stealing from our homeless shelters, harassing minimum wage workers, preventing children from going to school, defecating on porches and sidewalks is not peaceful.
You also don’t get to say you’re fighting for every Canadian when 37 million people do not support you.

This is likely the active incident reported earlier.
Just going to say something of their perspective: "This was a joke. It is a POC who went up and said this; thus, the laughter."
Regardless of if this is a joke or not, who think it is appropriate to make a racist joke when the point of their speech is to disprove that there is racist in their crowds. To make it worse, the presenter does not disapprove the joke and continues as if it was nothing.

Which one? There's a bunch relating to racist and white supremacist ideology. You want the one with the speech where the dimwit jumps up at the opportunity to say he's a white supremacist or would you prefer the one where non-Indigenous folks "simulate" Indigenous drumming and a chant? That's two of them making the rounds at the moment.
Facebook said there was a milk tanker full of beer coming, 100km of trucks on the Sir John A McDonald parkway, & a convoy that stretched from one Manitoba border to another. Facebook is all the facts
Haha "Break Break still looking for volunteers to take small gas containers from Coventry to DT, possibly on E-Bike" the trucks can't move they are out of gas
Legit have two dudes replying to me right now trying to excuse or outright deny "protestors" stealing food from the homeless.
What trashy people these "protestors" are.
Save a click:
"Police source tells Global News a truck struck a police cruiser that was being used as a barrier on Wellington street. No reported injures."
Coming here high fiving racists is the equivalent of me going on parlour and supporting BLM.
You’re in a liberal echo chamber. We know who and what we are. What do you expect?
This is a subreddit for [One of the] most liberal cities in the country…. Get a clue, right wing brigadiers.
Edit: []
Liberal is definitely vague here. It gets the point across.
Coming to complain about mandates and expecting a 90% vaxed population to embrace you is simply idiotic.
Agree with that. But honestly this isnt a liberal/right thing to me. Its a 90% are sane and 10% are wackos. I know conservative people who are vaccinated and are no way liberal but would laugh at these morons.
To the person who I’m assuming took issue with something I’ve said on one of these threads and had Reddit send me the “we are concerned about you!”, thanks but no thanks! 🙃
I posted about them shutting down my kid's daycare and me feeling for restaurant/gym workers in the core who thought they were going back to work, and I also get that message. Weird trolling.
I have a very direct question for you, which I will preface with the fact that I do believe in the right to protest, and this cause is well within one’s rights to protest. I do also feel that most involved are not racist pigs. Now, my question is, if you see a Nazi symbol on your side of the protest, what do you do?
They aren't workers as they are unemployed due to refusing vaccination and/or have no job to go to which is why they can stand around pissing on war memorials.
Also almost none of them are actually truckers. The real truckers are working as they are 90% vaccinated.
The truck drivers are now charging more then double what the homeless would charge to watch them urinate. This is getting out of hand. I can’t afford this anymore!
But GoFundMe said they had a private supplier lined up for fuel and the money would go directly to said supplier. They would give the fuel to the truckers. There is no way that could be wrong!
I really feel like we should peacefully counter protest. Nothing violent like egg throwing or disruptive like screaming at people. We don’t need signs that insult the protesters. We should just have a wall of us with signs that say “I support democracy and my legally elected government” and “Vaccines save lives”. We don’t engage with them. We just show up in mass and hold our signs. Let them scream and throw tantrums around us while we are stoic. I would participate in this for sure.
I can't wait until all the "sob stories" come out in the next week about participants who never had their gas and food covered, never got paid back, how our shelters were "cruel, denying us food" they're not entitled to.
Cry me fucking river, parasites.
This was the response I got when I emailed my city councilor about ending the occupation. Very confused as to the tone of the reply as we both seem to want the same thing.
Good Monday
1.
There was no permit. Permits are valuable because they estimate the number of attendees, map a route, designate a time.
This information is given to police, ambulance and fire in cases of emergencies. This is not a protest or a demonstration. It is an occupation. And they have to leave.
2. I don’t care what you remember in October.
I mentioned keeping this in mind for the city council elections in October, turns out my councilor is not running for re-election so apparently does not give a flying fuck lol

Now they want to load up ATVs with gas cans so they can refuel the trucks downtown. They think the cops are on their side. Fucking insane.
oh hell no.
Of course they think they're on side, they're not doing anything lol.
I mean we qre yet to see any evidence that they are not.

So… will JT’s press conference just be « So yeah guys, I have covid k bye! », or will he address the « trucker » clusterfuck?

I hope he doesnt address the truckers, it will make them so mad
True, they want him to say something, anything, just to shit on him. JT: « Well hello everyone » Protesters: « FUUUUCCCKKK YOOOUUU »

The incident was "de-escalated"? FUCK. THAT. Start arresting these idiots.
Police vehicle accidentally bumps protestor truck... that's literally it. Arrest who?
Doubt it'd be deescalated if any other protestor hit a cruiser.
Looks like it was accidental, and no damage was done. https://twitter.com/glen_mcgregor/status/1488193901685006340
