Just an Alberta gal who speaks my mind. Farmer. Hunter. Hiker. Terrible Fisherwoman.

Time for follow up on the thread re: La Crete Chamber sending a bus to #Ottawa on February 13 well after it was known the protest was not peaceful or lawful, with plans to meet with their MP @ArnoldViersen
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…
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 he won't be arrested and he won't be going to jail. And if he does, his lawyers are on their way already and he will be out.
He's telling Ottawa to hold the line. But he abandoned it.
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...
#OccupationOttawa#OttawaSiege@OttawaPolice@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?
#ottawa#cndpoli
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.
