Pat King live right now - he ran away from #Ottawa. He is out of the province and bragging that his clout - that it scared the authorities into posture and set up for him. To get ready to block him (implying they are scared)
King says to the @OttawaPolice - to those officers that are on certain corners, thank you for being on our side. You said you have our backs and know the importance of what we are doing. Thanks the police a lot.
@OttawaPolice Says this is about all colours of the medicine wheel coming together. This is written in prophecy. The rainbow warriors are coming together and we stand united.
Besides the obvious cultural appropriation- WTF is he talking about?
@OttawaPolice Pat King also said a Detective Benson from the @OttawaPolice talked to his lawyer tonight and told the lawyer that "the police are not looking for him"
Heard @HMcPhersonMP & @RaquelDancho speak on #CTV this re: protests. I really respect these two women in politics, they’re well spoken, tuned into their constituents & it was the first time I’ve heard them speak on a panel together. Super disappointed though.
Raquel stated it started peaceful (aside from traffic it pretty much did) and her constituency was supportive of peaceful protest in #ottawa. And it changed upon arrival. But then the question of @CPC_HQ support of the unlawful protest came up…
Heather & the anchor asked critical questions and made valid points of concern about @CPC_HQ support for the convoy, including taking photos and having lunch with organizers. Instead of acknowledging or condemming this, Raquel towed the party line.
Hearing @Yasir_Naqvi read emails from residents was hard to listen to. The residents of #ottawa are living in a literal hell zone. I wish he could post these for all to read. Mind you the truckers would probably call them fake...
@Yasir_Naqvi@OttawaPolice People have left their homes to stay with others, are living in homes with overwhelming smells of diesel fumes, decibels are reading 72 inside homes, businesses harrassed, protestors refusing to wear masks, no sleep, can't go outside without being accosted... #OccupationOttawa
My first time listening to .@RaquelDancho - she's hitting the nail on the head with some points (no response from elected officials) and quite well spoken. Might not agree with her party's policies all the time but I'm impressed - future party leader?
I know in #Alberta, hundreds of constituents have written their UCP MLA's & no response. Multiple letters and either no response or finally one, but it's a copy and paste push off - nothing to address their personalized concerns. The frustration does make sense.
In terms of @RaquelDancho saying ppl losing jobs b/c of the vaccine; if employers want to put these measures into place that is their choice. As it's a choice if workers choose not to get vaccinated - or pee in a cup for drug/alcohol tests for the jobs that require it. #ottawa
