1. To all the Conservatives and pro-CON journalists saying the EA wasn't necessary because Trudeau.

To all #TheLoudmouths calling the dismantling of the Ottawa Occupation the worst violation of human rights in Canadian history.

Flashback to 2010.

2. Flashback to when, thankfully-former-PM Harper was in charge...

Stuff like this didn't need get to the 4th weekend before police had a very clear plan and plenty of resources for kettling, riot gear, cages for protestors, tear gas...

3. Culminating in a class action suit, settled for $16.5M, because pretty much everything about how this was handled was wrong...

Journalists, pundits, member of the CPC? Have you all been stricken with #Harpernesia?

How 'bout some 🤬ing context?!?

4. For Oka: The SQ stormed the barricade. One constable, Marcel Lemay was fatally wounded. Military was called in.

For Ipperwash: "I want the fucking Indians out of the park" -- Ontario PM Mike Harris (allegedly), one Indigenous man, Dudley George, murdered by the OPP

5. Why did Conservatives label these people as "radical activists" who should be condemned by not the Ottawa Occupiers

6. More recently: Wet’suwet’en

Where was @AndrewScheer calling for Ottawa Occupiers to "check their privilege"?

Why were there not suggestions for the CPC this time, that skulls should be cracked?

7. The Ottawa Occupation was not a protest, and CLEARLY, the CPC, its pundits, and its sycophantic media have quite the sliding scale.

This is not journalism... It's running interference and counter-programming.

Enough.

Do your jobs. Report the full truth.
