Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife!

As I reported yesterday, Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, was undergoing renos but they’ve gone bigger than I could imagine

They’ve added a massive big screen behind the DJ, to accompany the VIP deck #ottnews
This goes without saying, but Wellington St has everything.

Postal service, ear protection and even satellite TV.

I wonder if the Super Bowl will be on the big screen on Sunday… #cdnpoli #ottnews
It’s raining tonight but that hasn’t stopped Ottawa newest club, O’Connor’s, from opening!

O’Connor’s has been functioning as a daycare normally, and even got a visit from the police yesterday to offer the parents help from child services. #cdnpoli #ottnews
If you’re tired from dancing or just want to dry off from the rain, you can pop into the Freedom Beer Tent and enjoy a view of the Peace Tower from Wellington.

The cops tried to stop this from being built earlier but here it is #cdnpoli #Ottnews
And while we’re at it, let’s check-in on the enforcement of the movement of fuel…

Basically every time I’m outside I see the cops standing/sitting around while fuel gets moved around with no intervention #cdnpoli #ottnews
Our latest dispatch from Ottawa's nightlight

Convoy organizer and newly minted Wellington St. VIP Pat King came to enjoy Ottawa's Second Hottest Club.

King danced a jig on stage, while fireworks went off in the crowd in the background #cdnpoli #ottnews
I’m back out at Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St

The DJ is done and the big screen is shut down but that isn’t stopping our latest celebrity, Elmo, from feeling the love from the crowd.

Honking and engine revving has started back up #cdnpoli #ottnews
When I go clubbing, I hate to wait in line for the washroom.

That’s not an issue at Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, thanks to 10 newly delivered porta potties from Toddy’s Potties #cdnpoli #ottnews
The newly created Freedom Beer Tent has already relocated up the street to a better real estate but it turns out, it’s not actually a beer tent.

It’s a supply tent with hay, folding tables, tools and a generator #cdnpoli #ottnews
Now that the Freedom Beer Tent has become the Freedom Supply Tent, folks are using the supplies to create a new Freedom Beer Tent, right beside it.

No word on if anyone plans to jump through a folding table from the supply tent. If they do, please invite @glen_mcgregor
If the DJ has stopped spinning and you want to keep blowing off some steam, there are plenty of shovels to get rid of the snow.

This is regular occurrence down here because the police have no control of the area so city services can’t preform basic functions #cdnpoli #ottnews
I know there is one burning Q everyone has for me tonight

Mack, is Rideau and Sussex still Ottawa’s hottest club?

The answer is no.

It’s still open but you can barely hear the music and it doesn’t have the fancy renos Wellington St #cdnpoli #ottnews
Where are the cops you ask?

In their police cars.

I saw three different small groups of cops in the crowd tonight, so I’d put the cop to party goer at 100-1 tonight #cdnpoli #ottnews
For the folks in my mentions saying that I should be taking this occupation more seriously 🤬🤬🤬!

There are lots of serious tweets from this account when the sun is up that should make you happy

At Bank and Riveraide, counter protestors have held up a number of cars attempting to join up with the convoy folks.

Here video at the numbers of cars held up, sent to me by a counter protestor #cdnpoli #ottnews
Here’s a look at the crowd that has gathered at Bank and Riverside.

Considerably more counter protestors compared to trucks trying to get through #cdnpoli #ottnews
Police have been trying to negotiate with the counter protestors to get them to move, with no success.

When the crowd said they’re not leaving, One cop just came up to them asked “so how does this end then?”

That did not go over well with the crowd #cdnpoli #ottnews

Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife.

It’s the biggest crowd yet at Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St.

They were spinning tunes when I first arrived but what I can only describe as a J-Roc impersonator was hyping the crowd after #cdnpoli #ottnews
If you’ve been following this series, you already know that Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St, has everything.

It has either Starsky or Hutch, more porta potties than needed and an Infowars fan #cdnpoli #ottnews ImageImage
Wellington St became Ottawa’s Hottest Club because of extensive renos but they’ve added yet another feature to the VIP Deck.

An LED sign is now up to ask some friends like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Don Cheery and Tucker Carlson to come hang out

Protestors have ripped down the barriers step up at the War Memorial.

They were up because people were using the memorial as a toilet and jumping on the tomb of the unknown soldier #cdnpoli #ottnews
The people who took it down seem to be a group of veterans.

They were all called up to the front to stand right at the front of the monument #cdnpoli #ottnews
They then did a prayer, where among other things, they called on the Prime Minister to drop vaccine mandates #cdnpoli #ottnews

I know it’s only Thursday but let’s check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife.

Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, is closed tonight for renos.

They’ve added a VIP deck with a Hill view, and have stockpiled Ottawa’s hottest accessory, jerry cans #cdnpoli #ottnews
Ottawa’s hottest club, Rideau and Sussex, is also closed tonight but some changes will need to be made before the party starts tomorrow night.

Truckers started parking like a jigsaw puzzle at that intersection today, presumably to make it hard to get towed #cdnpoli #ottnews
With no clubs open tonight, folks had nothing to do but wander the streets.

This guy with a megaphone outside the Chateau Laurier was telling folks, “Delete your vax pass, get a free joint” #cdnpoli #ottnews

Earlier tonight the police cleared out all the firewood and put out the fires on Kent st at a camp set up on the street.

I was there when this happened and I’d say about 30 officers were there to clear it out #cdnpoli #ottnews
When the second fire was put out, the top cop and main protestor were talking

You can hear the cop tell the protestors that there is “no issue with propane fuel” and “he’s just trying to help”

Surprised to hear the police are cool with propane fires in the street #cdnpoli
Once the fires were out, the cops moved to clearing a large pile of firewood out. A few protestors tried to throw the wood away but the head of the camp got them to stop.

They brought in two city pickup truck to haul it all away #cdnpoli #ottnews

The #TruckerConvoy2022 protesters harassed staff at an Ottawa homeless shelter for food today and staff had to give them food to get them to leave.

Ottawa has a sizeable homeless population, not enough shelter spaces and it was -30 today. #ottnews #cdnpoli
In the Zello channel for the truckers, one guy says they’re basically homeless cause no one will feed them.

There is a Loblaws an eight minute walk from the Shepards. They’d have sold them food, if they were willing to put a mask on to come in the store #ottnews
I live down here, so I see these homeless folks a lot.

Since the pandemic, I’d say an already large homeless population has doubled, with decreased supports.

When they manage to get a few bucks, they put their mask on, go to the Loblaws and buy some food.

It’s not hard!
