With the Ottawa community solidarity rally getting underway, let's get a few things clear. Firstly, it's not a truckers protest. teamsters.ca/en/blog/2022/0… /1 #OttawaOccupation #OttawaOccupied

At least 350 construction workers who'd been doing the renovations at Centre Block on Parliament Hill have also been put out of work by the Ottawa Occupation since it began ottawa.ctvnews.ca/no-income-comi… #OttawaOccupied #canlab /6

The Canadian Trucking Alliance has pointed out most of those participating in the #OttawaOccupation have no connection to the trucking industry cantruck.ca/statement-by-c… #OttawaOccupied #canlab /7

So what's the #OttawaOccupation really about? antihate.ca/the_freedom_co… #OttawaOccupied #canlab /8

The hate and violence that's flowed from the convoy is not an anomaly. It's not a "few bad apples." The #OttawaOccupation is organized and promoted by far right extremists. pressprogress.ca/meet-the-extre… #OttawaOccupied #canlab /9

So let's be clear. The #OttawaOccupation is anti-worker. As the @CanadianLabour Congress puts it, "This is not a protest, it is an occupation by an angry mob trying to disguise itself as a peaceful protest" canadianlabour.ca/joint-statemen… #OttawaOccupied #canlab /10
