Drew Dilkens says he should remain mayor of Windsor because he's 'Leadership that Delivers' while his opponent is 'Risky and Radical'.
Let's take a look back in a thread 🧵

Dilkens ordered Transit Windsor's suspension; the only city in North America to do so.
“I recognize that despite the health warnings & advice, many in our community still rely on Transit Windsor for their daily needs. But...as Mayor of Windsor..."

Media framing of ongoing events in Ottawa & elsewhere in Canada as a protest against Covid-19 public health measures is misleading. The journalists do so in this article do & so does a lot of the coverage. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic… #EmergenciesAct #OttawaSiege
The #OttawaSiege, #AmbassadorBridgeblockade #Coutts were not conceived of or organized by those opposed to public health-related restrictions, eg. vax mandates, etc., but by a hardcore, long-standing group of rightwing extremists in Canada w/ US & int'l support. 2/
That core group that conceived & put these events in motion have subsequently been bubble-wrapped by other protestors who are NOT extremists. Some of the latter have claims that fall well w/i the bounds of legitimate protest. Others are using these events to put their long- 3/
Tales from the puppy park & another night under #OttawaSiege. Early on in #OttawaOccupied a neighbour had just finished her jog when she faced 2 thugs demanding that she remove her mask, or else. They were fighting for her freedom, didn't she get it?
Tale #2: I'm now familiar w/ specific trucks. On the way home, 2 were filling petrol cans @ the nearby gas station, likely for delivery to Parliament Hill. There was s/t different this time, tho: there were no CDN flags flapping in the wind, but the flag shafts were still there.
I see this everyday now. I normally smile & say hello to my neighbours, but not these thugs marauding about my city. More tales tomorrow. Stay tuned for live in city under siege.
Incoming monster thread: y'day my @Carleton colleague @leahwest_nsl argued the Govt “must believe the protests rise to the level of a national emergency” to invoke the #EmergenciesAct for the 1st time since its creation by a @CPC_HQ Govt in 1988 1/X
While #natsec law is outside my wheelhouse of expertise, my work regularly bumps up against such issues & has forever focused on Qs about coms, society & democracy. As such, I want to weigh in with a few thoughts of my own & hope that I have something worthwhile to say. 2/x
TLDR: While I disagree w/ her provisional conclusion, I do agree that we must be very vigilant that this precedent setting use of the #EmergenciesAct remains ltd in time, targeted in terms of geography, subject to Parliamentary review & snuggled tightly within the 3/
Ever wonder who funded this convoy? Let’s take a look thanks to the GiveSendGo hack: #FluTruxKlan #OttawaOccupation 
Hey @TomSiebel the CEO of C3.ai why are you funding Canadian domestic terrorism?

Hi everyone! I'm going to start a new thread as the day goes on - heres what happened last night until approximately 2:00AM /1
It's definitely a stand off now, with the line of police officers facing what seems like a pretty committed group of people - hearing reports that people have brought there children back to #AmbassadorBridge - there are snipers on roofs /2

Cops seem to giving the protesters a light show now that injunction is in place - still lots of children at the event, and no officers out of vehicle to be seen /1 #cdnpoli #AmbassadorBridge #windsor
It's hard to tell if pick up trucks are leaving or just going in laps around the block /2 #AmbassadorBridge #cdnpoli #Windsor
Honking is swelling in waves - one trucker at the front closest to the cops expressed concern about starting another one - lots of speculation about tear gas, runner bullets, etc. /3 #Police #AmbassadorBridge #windsor #FluTruxKlan
There are 510 listed participants in the injunction proceedings. Court has taken a recess because not everyone who needs to can get on the Zoom call.
Court proceeds while the IT people work on figuring out how to get everyone included on the Zoom hearing.
Mike Wills, lawyer for the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, which brought the motion of injunction, is making arguments.

Zello chatter says OPP remains throughout the area & MTO on the way via the 401.
Protestors want to get an inflatable screen to show the Superbowl on, & there's talk about making t-shirts...
They also don't like Mayor Dilkens

Protestors are trying desperately to set up a music and video streaming platform to physically present.
These people have never organized a public event before - obviously - and it shows.
"Think the city will turn all the street lights off for us?"
"No way dude"
