On a day @JustinTrudeau assumes emergency powers to quell peaceful protests that he claims are violent, meet Nick, 25. He lost his job as a welder because he’s unvaccinated, can’t pay rent, and now lives on the street. He can’t go to a shelter because they won’t take his dog. 
Meet people like Nick in my reportage from Ottawa on the protests for @bariweiss edited by @petersavodnik with amazing photos by @just_dan_thingz .These are real people who've come to protest peacefully, not a violent mob. Read some of their stories here. bariweiss.substack.com/p/what-the-tru…
Update on Nick for those who've asked. I've just returned from trying to locate him.He's now in a hotel thanks to the generosity of a protestor who saw him on the street. I've reached out to a couple of people who're going to try to help him. Thanks for your concern and empathy.
Check out the quote tweets and comments below this tweet. Many of these folks probably claim to be progressive but they seem to be anything but. They sound cruel and heartless.
