It appears this was the result of terrible security at GiveSendGo. I'd agree it could be state sponsored, but I am certain there are enough people with the skills to do this on their own downtown Ottawa (even if it turned out they work for the gov't). That said, I am thoroughly disappointed the Federal gov't and much of the media coverage. They have done nothing but make the situation worse. I think it is intentional…

What a convenient thing to happen on the very same day he is expected to announce the taking away of civil liberties of Canadians, and give themselves the right to seize property and equipment.

From your own link: > Residents complained about another night of illegal fireworks, loud music and horn honking Saturday night and Sunday morning. Loud music? Say it isn't so!

Also from my link: "Overnight, demonstrators exhibited extremely disruptive and unlawful behaviour, which presented risks to public safety and unacceptable distress for Ottawa residents," said police. Go ahead, keep digging. I can do this all day.

Oof. That's how the police characterized "illegal fireworks, loud music and horn honking". In fairness to you, your quote from the police was at the tippy top of your article and mine was multiple paragraphs later.

>there is no violence, and no obvious danger While there is no outright violence, there is torture to local residents, there was attempted arson, there is continued intimidation and harassment of those wearing masks, there is intimidation of visible minorities, there are attacks on businesses.... Is that enough to convince you that the situation is out of hand and than stricter action is needed? The protestors haven'…

> While there is no outright violence, there is torture to local residents Why did you use the word torture here? Torture is a well-defined word with an accepted meaning. Do you feel that it is appropriate? Or are you looking for an emotionally-loaded reaction? Can I also claim that my loud college neighbors are torturing me when they stay up too late on the weekend? Of course I can, but it sure is disingenuous to an…

I mean maybe, “that last paranormal activity movie was absolute torture.”

I assume (charitably) they mean it in a hyperbolic sense

> A number of illegal weapons...were seized in a blockade in Alberta. > https://globalnews.ca/news/8618494/alberta-coutts-border-pro... Your link doesn't describe anything as "illegal weapons." It just says "long guns" and "handguns" which are both pretty broad terms that undoubtedly encompass guns that are legal in Canada.

By definition a handgun not in storage or in transport to a shooting range is an illegal weapon in Canada.

Do I need a citation that people honking to cause a distrubance intended to disturb?

Wow, that's quite a comment and a remarkably transparent backpedaling from "intent to cause harm".

i have a 4 year old daughter in ontario who has never seen her friends faces or her teacher's face. she eats outside even when it's -20. as of today, no end in sight for these rules. why? it's shameful. im surprised the civil unrest in canada isnt worse.

So your daughter has remote learning or not? You can't make both arguments without clarifying. If she was remote learning she knows her teacher's face. If she isn't remote now she knows her teacher's face

Presumably she goes to school in-person but everyone is wearing a mask.

These are the people of the truck convoy who protest: https://twitter.com/MichaelPSenger/status/149273926633759539...

Does it look like they are all packing and waiting to strike?

The polls I've seen had ~half of Canadians sympathetic to the protests [1], and about 20% strongly supporting. It's completely true that it could be one highly motivated individual, but that has nothing to do with your first assertion (which is a mixed truth at best). I think that the government's claim (echoed by many media outlets) that this is purely a fringe movement has added fuel to the fire. [1] https://global…

I see your poll and raise you this one https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/02/12/two-thirds-of-canadia... where 2/3 of canada don't just dislike the protest but hate them so much they want the military to deal with them.

Quoted post unavailable.

Why couldn't three people independently reach the same conclusion?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/coutts-protest-blocka... Mounties said in a release Monday that they became aware of a small organized group within the larger protest at Coutts. They say they had information that the group had access to a cache of firearms and ammunition. Officers seized long guns, handguns, multiple sets of body armour, a machete, a large quantity of ammunition and high-capacity firearm magaz…

This type of revelation will likely be commonplace in the days/weeks ahead as militant extremists are exposed.

You're eating up the propaganda.

These are regular folks.
