Ottawa is a G7 capital but some residents don't seem to realize that.Peaceful protests in the nation's capital is part of democracy like in every major city whether London,Paris, DC, Tokyo, Berlin, etc. By all means act like we're small backwater rather than a G7 capital.

Ottawa downtown is mostly government offices which have been shut for 2 years. It's been a wasteland populated by drug dealers, homeless people and criminal gangs. I live here and sure the fact my local LCBO was closed yesterday was annoying. But was I freaking out? No.
To be fair, #TruckersConvoy2022 will need to have a plan to peacefully & safely accommodate both protestors and residents if the protests are drawn out. The city needs to think creatively but the mayor & some councillors have taken a hardline position mimicking that of Trudeau.
The Farmers protests in India that Trudeau opportunistically supported lasted for months and massively disrupted traffic in Delhi. Didn't hear anyone who supported the protests from here saying these must end because they're too disruptive to the daily lives of Delhi residents.🙄
The world is watching how 🇨🇦 deals with #TruckersConvoy2022 It's leaders routinely preach to the world,the value of dialogue and not taking a hardline position that could sow division yet they do exactly the opposite here.This hypocrisy will not go unnoticed.Damages credibility.
*Its*. 😬
