There's a court injunction against blowing horns still in effect. #cdnpoli #protestconvoy
just fyi I have seen two police officers while I've been walking along this stretch of Wellington on the night @fordnation declared a provincial state of emergency. Have definitely seen more police presence on other nights. ImageImageImage
In fairness, more of them as you get closer to Chateau Laurier/ Sussex.
For instance
Basically watching over this dance party at Sussex/Wellington.
A freedom party that, by the way, is in the shadow of the shopping mall that's shut its doors for two weeks, citing health and safety concerns for employees and customers.
Lone officer standing watch. ImageImage
In case you're wondering the crane across the street from the Prime Minister's Office is yes very much still there.
The screen is a new addition this evening.
Found a few more officers from @DurhamPolice (pictured: 4, saw 8) standing by the Terry Fox statue. Image
Part or the surreality of downtown Ottawa is you step away from Parliament Hill and it vaguely looks like life as usual (minus y' know police barricades and trucks here and there). #protestconvoy #cdnpoli
I've been quote-tweeted with enough of this hashtag in my career that I can say with some authority they meant to write lamestream because you see mainstream and oh never mind. Image
Few more pix I took earlier to end the thread. These kinds of signs have been all over the fences in front of West Block/Parliament Hill for a while. Last weekend spotted one absurdly comparing the PM to Hitler. Appeared to be gone now #cdnpoli #protestconvoy ImageImageImage
and I wonder how the injunction in Windsor is going oh ok
I had missed this by the lawyer involved in the suit/ injunction that had led to the court order:

#LIVE: Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau on now, expected to announce Emergency Act in light of #ProtestConvoy. #cdnpoli Watch here:
cpac.ca/episode?id=5e1…
@JustinTrudeau thanks officers on the ground who helped reopen Ambassador Bridge. But says it's clear there are impediments, difficulties for them to act alone. "The federal government is ready to use more tools at its disposal to get the situation fully under control."
@JustinTrudeau says he's consulted w/ cabinet, caucus, spoken to opposition leaders. "The federal government has invoked the federal Emergencies Act." Says scope of measures will be time-limited, geographically targeted, reasonable, proportionate to threats they're to address.

2nd night since @fordnation declared provincial state of emergency, 16th night of #ConvoyProtest in Ottawa. Smaller crowd than yesterday, but that may have had more to do w/ -24 C w/ windchill temp than augmented police presence. (Pictured: all police I saw on my walk) #cdnpoli
(these pix are not live-ish, I took them between 10:11 pm and when I got home--sorry folx, too cold to take pics and tweet 'em without freezing fingers).
To give you some sense of the crowd in front of the Peace Tower.

Protestors again at Trudeau's next event. Supporters here too. Some of the completely illogical screaming: "crimes against humanity," a bunch of swearing.
Yelling at journalists again. We were told we'd burn in hell. #cdnmedia #elxn44
"He's supposed to talk to the people," says one of the protestors, yelling at a police officer.

We're @JustinTrudeau 's next stop. Media getting called fake news, etc. #cdnpoli #elxn44
Usually there have been supporters screaming and shouting out protestors. Not the case at this Nobleton Ont. stop for @JustinTrudeau as he waves at the demonstrators before walking in. #cdnpoli #elexn44
PA announces @JustinTrudeau event's cancellation as media shuttled back on to bus. As this was happening I watched RCMP detail explain to one man he cannot get close to the bus. #cdnpoli #elxn44

We are in the Quebec City-area riding of Beauport-Limoilou this morning waiting for Liberal leader @JustinTrudeau to make an an announcement on seniors. #cdnpoli #elxn44 Image
Beauport-Limoilou is held by the @BlocQuebecois . Liberals are hoping to take it w/ Ann Gingras, a well-known union veteran in the area.
(BG en français via @iciradiocanada :
ici.radio-canada.ca/amp/1815597/an…)
@JustinTrudeau has arrived, but its neither he or local candidate Ann Gingras who speaks up first, but adjacent Québec riding incumbent @jyduclos , who squeaked by the Bloc for a victory w/ a few hundred votes in 2019. Duclos says he's thrilled Gingras is part of team. Image

We're waiting for @JustinTrudeau to show up at an event in a backyard in Surrey this a.m. Protestors outside. Colleagues have identified at least one who followed Liberals from Hamilton Ontario yesterday to Surrey BC today. Would not say if he's w/ an organization. #cdnpoli Image
@JustinTrudeau up now, says it is such a treat to be back in BC, his second home. He's flanked by Gordie Hogg, who is running for Liberals in Surrey South White Rock, currently held by Conservatives. Image
@JustinTrudeau in part reiterating yesterday's housing anno. But also this: raising corporate tax rates on banks, insurance companies on earnings over $1 billion from 15 to 18 per cent.
