Given Trudeau's response, I imagine Ill need to dedicate a separate thread to the Canada trucker convoy protest in Ottawa. Again.
(Part 1 ended over here)
"Broadcast Audio Visual Technician, City of Toronto"
Critics (and basically the crowd that Trudeau is listening to) have begun targeting cops that may (or may not?) support the Ottawa trucker convoy.
"The RCMP is en route to blockaded border crossings, where truckers refuse to leave, with tactical units."
This statement from Trudeau makes no meaningful distinction between the isolated incidents of bad behavior / the point of the trucker convoy protest as a whole
"I am hearing reports of trucks driving through red lights without pausing."
"Very loud honking still in downtown #Ottawa from protestors and supporters." -- via twitter.com/Krystalle_CBC/
"The Geese Garrison still at it." -- video via twitter.com/MaOnTheAir/ that shows what it sounds like at a distance from Ottawa.
"A heavy police presence in Ottawa amid the #ConvoyForFreedom2022 as parliament is set to resume today." -- video via twitter.com/elie_mcn/
"Ottawa mayor says ticketing, towing protesters could incite them" cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
"We need the streets cleared of hate."
🚨🚨🚨🚨HAPPENING
"Surrounded and forced to make a difficult decision. Motion has passed, they are staying." via twitter.com/kiansimone44/
"A group of truckers parked across the Canada-US border between Alberta and Montana have been given a police SWAT team ultimatum to move."
"The truckers turn to God, surrounded and cornered in by Kenneys government." -- via twitter.com/kiansimone44/
That's your job. The people only made it theirs because they saw the accountability lacking.
""DON'T OPEN THE BORDER" says an American trucker who was gridlocked for 3 days away from his family and his work. Even those inconvenienced are understanding and in support." -- video via twitter.com/kiansimone44/
People against the Trucker convoy are trying to create a blacklist of businesses in order to punish its supporters

"GET OUT OF MY CITY"
"I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN FIVE DAYS" -- VIA twitter.com/JustEye33/
I can't speak for whoever runs this channel (?) but they've at least got an Ottawa livestream of some kind going.
"This was my neighborhood last night. I got caught in a traffic jam but was able to u turn and get out of the fray. I am so sick of police inaction on this. We are under siege here by lunatics and nothing is being done"
I’m told this is related to the trucker convoy thing so in the thread it goes
Ottawa City Council scheming to stop trucker convoy protest
😐
Meanwhile there's talk of Alberta lifting mandates.
"The border will open as a sign of good faith that Alberta's rural MLAs will lift the mandates." via twitter.com/kiansimone44

🚨🚨🚨OTTAWA might be calling in THE MILITARY to "deal with" the Canada trucker protest
ANYWAY here's a recent video from Ottawa via twitter.com/mattjlavender/
People are still there and still going.
"When a convoy of vehicles led by a dump truck tried to drive through Marika Morris's downtown Ottawa neighborhood, she and a few others decided to stand on the road and block their path." -- via twitter.com/CBCOttawa/
"The threat of riot and mass injury is real. Given these clear facts..." what?
Whatever happened to "mostly peaceful protests"?
anywho here's more footage.
I have a feeling that the Canadian establishment will go from:
-- (currently) pretty much not doing anything at all
to
-- taking aggressive and extreme measures to end the trucker convoy protest in Ottawa
They're going to paint the protesters as X-TREME
These protesters

That’s authoritarian but unsurprising to hear a checkmark say at this point

Tensions are high
