The big question on my mind lately is:

When will residents of #Ottawa stop being lied to by authorities?

We are hearing over and over again that enforcement is taking place but that is clearly, and verifiably, a lie. #OttawaOccupied #Ottnews

In some cases this is in real time, where the evidence to refute what is being said is displayed for all to see.

In some cases we are seeing active facilitation by authorities of illegal activities (such as new encampments, fuel resupply, allowing vehicles back in to occupy)

We have also heard conflicting statements that this was remarkably peaceful, and then that enforcement would lead to violence, and then when bare minimum enforcement was done there was no violence. So what is actually going on here? What is the truth?

In pursuit of the truth of the matter, some clear questions need to be asked about why we are repeatedly and clearly being lied to.

1) Is it that the executive is not giving clear orders to enforce, but telling the world we are?

2) Is it that some factions of police are supportive of this occupation and refusing to enforce, but the public is not being told this?

3) Is it true that this is a only a resource issue and that the lack of meaningful action we are seeing is strictly because of that? Even when numbers of occupiers is extremely low during the week? Even when small cars are being allowed to occupy our residential areas?

Whatever the truth is, this crisis demands that it starts to be told. The lack of leadership from the City of Ottawa, and all orders of government, is leading to a swift and complete erosion of trust. Start demanding the truth.

And before the trolls start asking me what I’ve been doing, I have worked within my sphere of influence to try and enact the plan I presented 10 days ago, when no plan was presented by any government.
