Why are we tweeting about #OttawaSiege?
Democracy is the solution to the climate crisis.
Our democracy & therefore the climate conditions civilization depends on are under threat. We are protecting it.

We have volunteers in the National Capital Region directly impacted by the #ottawaoccupiers.
We have members across Canada impacted by the #ottawaseige as well the blockades at the international crosses. They are not able go to work and are losing wages.

Since September 2010, we have lobbied our parliamentarians over 1400X. We have cultivated healthy relationships with Parliamentarians on Parliament Hill. We care about our MPs and Senator.

#FreeDumbConvoy has known extremists in the midst.
How is our gov't supposed to protect people of Ottawa from the extremists?
How is the government supposed to safely remove the #FluTruxKlan when there are known extremists in their midst?

The #EmergenciesAct is not the #WarMeasuresAct and the debate is not going to be solved in 10 second sound bites. Malignant #Disinformation on social media from interests going to intefere with some Canadians understanding the facts.
