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

No party tonight at Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St

I spoke with the guy who owns the flatbed/stage earlier today and be said he ain’t leaving no matter what happens. Guess the party will continue at a future date…
Down at Ottawa’s second hottest club, Rideau and Sussex, its surprisingly busy.

Decent crowd for a Monday night, and there is enough fuel to keep the party going for days.

As is par for the course, zero cops anywhere.

There was one place in Ottawa where “enforcement” was taking place tonight.

A block away from Ottawa’s Second Hottest Club, Rideau and Sussex, bus cops were hassling a homeless women who was outside the Rideau LRT station.

You can hear the cop free dance party a block away
So the nightlife was meh tonight but the real story is over at the War Memorial tonight.

Protestors are still camped out there, with a tent that has a bed and propane in it. Many there tonight, were there on Sunday taking down the fence.

Once again, no cops. #cdnpoli #ottnews
It’s unfortunate there were no cops at the War Memorial tonight. They could have found one of the multiple “No Camping” signs placed around the War Memorial, in a bid to help them what section of the law they could enforce #cdnpoli #ottnews
As for the garbage that was placed within a stones throw of the (recently danced on) Tomb of the Unknown Soldier earlier today, it has been relocated to behind the hedges where the tent is set up. #cdnpoli #ottnews

Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife, to take your mind off city council garbage

Possibly the weirdest showing yet at Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St

People are just standing beside this truck with their hands up as a horn honks to a freedom chant #cdnpoli
The only other thing happening at Wellington St. is these guys are trying to play keep up. As you can see, they are very poor soccer players. Keep working on your first touch boys! #cdnpoli #ottnews
Leaving Wellington St, you see this group of trucks in a new formation, clogging what was earlier today a clear intersection.

This is common to see now at major intersections, a ploy by the convoy to make it hard to tow trucks #cdnpoli #ottnews

A large group of protestors just confronted the cops on Queen St.

Looks like the cops weren’t happy with the truck that is parked across the street here on Queen. The group came in and started chanting freedom #cdnpoli #ottnews
In between the chanting of freedom, this guy is reading off the bill of rights.

Other people are yelling at the cops to go home #cdnpoli #ottnews
The crowd just went into a rendition of O Canada, then someone blew a horn right in the face of one of the cops #cdnpoli #ottnews

The Convoy has called press conference. The speakers are Daniel Bulford, Vincent Gircys, Eddie Stewart Cornell #cdnpoli #ottnews Image
Bulford says the Emergencies Act still allows people with kids to come Ottawa as long as they are participating in peaceful protest, which they are saying this is #cdnpoli #ottnews
Bulford is inviting everyone to come to Ottawa because it will make it more difficult for the police to enforce the new orders #cdnpoli #ottnews

I’m in the gallery for QP

Candice Bergen starts off by calling the use of the Emergencies Act “an Unprecedented sledgehammer”

Trudeau reiterates what he said yesterday about about time limited measures #cdnpoli
Bergen asks Trudeau when he will lift “Divisive, outdated and unscientific mandates”

Trudeau said the CPC can’t stop playing crass political games at a time of a crisis #cdnpoli #ottnews
The CPC line today seems to be the blockade in Coutts ended without the Emergencies Act, so we do we need to bring it in?

Should note, the RCMP did find a bunch of guns there, which seemed to scare a bunch of the protestors off #cdnpoli #ottnews
