Bylaw infractions.. give them a parking ticket if warranted.
You are more worried about a parking infraction then your Prime Minister uttering divisive rhetoric and mandates that promote discrimination. Nice to know where your priorities are.
Christians get a bad name because often times they are feckless in the midst of some pretty disturbing times. Some Christians have rightfully spoke out though many remain silent. Separating the wheat from the tares.
There are serious criminal offences taking place in Ottawa bud. One of the big criminal offences is the steady blasting of truck horns day and night that is seriously affecting the health of people living in the downtown and surrounding areas. They are blasting these horns which have a noise level far above the health and safty levels of noise. Well up over 100 decibels. People have been kept awake for days and their mental health is being effected. This is a deliberate and planned assault on the citizens. There is nothing else you can call it. You should pay more attention to the health and safety of citizens than worry about a bunch of thugs and law-breakers.

What laws exactly? The law of the land is the Charter which gives people a right to peacefully assemble and protest. Nowhere in the Charter is there a time limit associated with your protest contrary to what the government is gaslighting you to believe.
The only thing illegal is Trudeau thugs running over protesters
Christians should feed and water people regardless. No wonder your religion is dying. Christians have repeatedly been on the wrong side of history from slavery to nazi Germany using the ridiculous verse you quoted to support vile human rights abuses including the vaxx pass. Shame
They are breaking bylaws in blocking streets, illegal parking on streets, noise bylaws by blowing their horns 16 or 18 hours a day, threatening and insulting citizens for a start. They are likely breaking a number of bylaws. Also illegally occupying parks, and constructing illegal buildings.

Matthew 25
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,(A) 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me,(B) I was sick and you looked after me,(C) I was in prison and you came to visit me.’(D)
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’(E)
Those verse have no application to people who are illegally occupying the streets and breaking the laws.

Good Christian answer
First of all these are not protesters. They are thugs who are illegally occupying the streets and committing illegal acts. They deserve the force of the law to end the criminal acts that they committing. If you think these are law-abiding citizens who are obeying the law, you are talking to the wrong person.

It was his comment. You, a good Christian man, seem to be supporting the police chief and his call to investigate officers who give a cup of water to the protesters. As you claim to be Christian I just don't see how that aligns with the teachings of Jesus sir.
I don't think you know the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. "1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {ordained: or, ordered} 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. " Romans 13:1-6 KJV
These verses warn against those who resist authority and warns evil doers to be afraid because the authorities bear the sword not in vain. That means God ordained authorities and they have the power to use whatever force is necessary.

I agree with the police chief. Of course no officer should be giving out supplies to the occupiers. What do you think the police are there for?

That's the words of the police chief. Yes or no. Should police be charged if they give a glass of water to protestors?
For a guy who quotes the Bible as much as you do I'm surprised you are on board with jailing people over giving q trucker water
I never said anything about jailing them. Where did you come up with that one?
They should kick their ass out of there. Do whatever is necessary to end this nonsense.

Do you believe cops who give a glass of water to protesters should be investigated and prosecuted as the chief of police has said? Is there anything your side can do that you would say is completely bonkers and even bordering on 1930s era Germany?
A glass of water? Are you a kid or an adult? I oppose illegal blockades and the steady noise they are making which is criminal. I can't see this lasting much longer. The authorities will have to take action. These are criminals blockading and occupying streets.

I am not anti-vaxxer or pro-vaxxer. C19 vaxx is one of the protections only, not the best. It is like saying analytics is the only real tool to gain an understanding of a hockey player. First of all, C19 vaxx cannot stop you from getting or spreading C19. So, your granddaughter getting C19 and spreading C19 to her family have little to do with anti-vaxx, maybe she might not be ill for a few days if she had vaxxed. Also, why we hv lockdown for the vaxxed?
look at this, some funny thing happen in Israel, a place where over 90% vaxx, 4th C19 boosters, vaxx passport for daily life.
In the end, people want choice not mandate because c19 vaxx is not the Silver bullet.
Why do you pick information on Israel which is totally different than many other countries? Something suspicious about that. Look at the statistics for the U.S. A graph shows unvaccinated people in the U.S. have a death rate of about 100 times greater than people who are fully vaccinated with their booster shot.
Fully vaccinated people are 93% less likely to die of COVID compared to unvaccinated people
Here is the COVID death rate for vaccinated people vs. unvaccinated people | Fortune
There are no lockdowns for the vaccinated. There are vaccine mandate and passports but no lockdowns. Do you know the difference?
Nov. 10, 2021 – While COVID-19 vaccine mandates have sparked lawsuits and protests, the data shows that they’re working and increasing vaccination rates.

This thread has become nothing more than an echo chamber with a handful of "freedom" protesters echoing each other constantly.
Here is a news article describing how Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has gone off the deep end in ignoring medical experts and supporting the anti-restrictions "freedom" convoy. He is completely out of touch with not only medical experts, but out of sync with other political leaders in Canada.

The young man that we know who suffered 12 hrs of paralysis is in the Canadian navy. He had longer lasting symptoms as well, but I don't think that he took the Moderna/Pfizer vax. It was J&J or Astrazenica iirc (I haven't talked to him since he joined, his mom told us all of this).
This subject has pretty well been beaten to death the past couple years. It is tragic if someone has a serious effect from the vaccine, but from what I have heard regularly, it is extremely rare. The issue is that over a million people have died from Covid in the world, and about 33,000 in Canada have died. Many who survived Covid have lasting negative health effects. So the point I am making is the vaccine is the only real protection the world has to this deadly virus. It is terrible if someone died as a result, but it is like a war. Look at the millions who died fighting for their country in wars. Even police officers risk their lives every day to protect society but occasionally one of them gets killed. We don't abolish the police because of that.
We didn't ask for this virus. Our authorities are doing the best they can to protect us from it. Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of lives have been saved in Canada by vaccination. So tell me what is the rationale for opposing something that saves so many lives. Surely you can't say because a rare case has negative consequences that vaccination shouldn't happen. Your comment is that of an anti-vaxxer.
I have a grand daughter who has been an anti-vaxxer for years and she has put four kids in danger because she caught Covid and spread it to her family. She could have died and left the three little ones and the older kid with no mother. However, she is set in her thinking and I can't do anything about it except pray. She survived Covid although I heard she was quite ill for a few days. Thankfully her husband had to be vaccinated for his job.

According to this article eliminating mandates and vaccine passports will reduce freedom for the majority. The problem is in the case of health measures, imposing certain restrictions does reduce the freedom for some people who refuse to get vaccinated and removing those restrictions likewise reduces freedoms for other people. For example, mandates are imposed to protect workers and people they deal with from the risk of catching Covid from unvaccinated people. If you remove the mandates, then you increase the chances of people catching Covid in the workplace or spreading Covid to the public by unvaccinated workers. A similar situation exists with the vaccine passports. If you remove the passports some people who are unvaccinated will then start going to restaurants, gyms, movie theatres, etc. and increase the risk to the vaccinated people.

It was reported in the media that Trump had some harsh words about Trudeau lately and threw his support behind the convoys and occupation of Ottawa.
A lot of the money donated to Go Fund Me for this came from anonymous foreign sources, some of which were donations over $30,000. Could this money be coming from American Trumpsters?

Ottawa residents should join and file a class action lawsuit to claim the ten million dollars from Go Fund Me and an immediate injunction to freeze the funds until the lawsuit is settled. The money could be used to compensate citizens for all the threats, abuse, assaults, loss of income of businesses, defacing the downtown property, a very loud noise effecting the health and well-being of the citizens, and disruption of the lives of Ottawa citizens and reimburse the taxpayers for policing costs. The steady noise is a major offense. This is nothing more than an American-inspired, Jan. 6, type of Trumpster occupation. The similarities are too great to ignore. Trump has already thrown his support behind the anarchists which further proves a connection. In addition to the massive amounts of anonymous money donated to GFM, most of which likely came from American Trumpsters.
According to this article, the chances of a peaceful end to this occupation may have already passed.

This is what i asked... And i doubt very much any of this can be done without the parents consent, after 18 all bets are off.
It is a free country, but since when do we allow minors to make life altering decisions, which includes surgery to change their gender or sex... when did we as parents give up that right, and what else have parents been striped off... Did we just give them the keys to their own fate...
According to a court case I mentioned above, a 14 year old has the right to decide.

For sex reassignment surgery in Canada one must be an adult.
"Who gets to decide when a 14-year-old wants to change gender? The child, the hospital, the battling parents?
A B.C. case raises difficult questions about parental rights and about how young is too young to make medical decisions. The result is a messy ethical and legal tangle
“I have a male brain that doesn’t match up with the body I’m in,” says the Grade 9, Surrey, B.C., student, who was the female gender at birth.
“It’s like being trapped in a cage.”
Max is now at the centre of a complicated legal fight over who gets to decide the course of treatment for his gender dysphoria. Max and his mom, Sarah, with the support of the gender clinic at B.C. Children’s Hospital, want to proceed with a treatment plan that would involve injecting Max with testosterone — a key step, they say, in Max’s desire to transition from a female to a male body.
But Max’s father, Clark, who is separated from Sarah and shares joint custody of Max, believes things are moving too fast and worries about the treatment’s risks. Why can’t Max wait until he’s an adult before taking such a big step? What if Max comes to regret his decision, but the changes are irreversible? Doesn’t the father get to have a say in the matter at all?
The case raises difficult questions about parental rights, about child autonomy, about how young is too young to make serious medical decisions. The result is a messy ethical and legal tangle, where a number of deeply interested parties — all with competing points of view on this issue, and all with the child’s best interest in mind — are at odds over how to proceed.
. unquote
This is a result of the new "woke" or progressive society/government catering to the LGBT movement and rejecting our historic Judeo-Christian roots which would never countenance such a thing.
Incidentally the father in this case, who was trying to protect his 14 yr old daughter (or son depending how you view it) was sentenced to a six month jail term and a $30,000 fine for breaking a court order by releasing information about this case. This is the punishment now in Canada for interfering with an evil system by refusing to obey a court order limiting what he could say publicly about the case. Why were they trying to silence him?

If there are people in the family distressed by this then they are just misguided and should be excluded from the family. Parents should love their children no matter what.
I am not sure what you mean by school reaching kids they can choose what sex they want to be. People are born into certain sex and orientation. If I am a boy or a girl nobody can reach to change it but they can teach me at school to be accepting of my classmates no matter what sex they are or orientation they have and that is great.
Are you kidding? Of course parents should and do love their children no matter what. But nobody in a school should be giving them the idea they can be a different gender than what they were born. That is child abuse and should be a criminal offense.
People are not born into a certain orientation. That again is ridiculous. A person is what they are biologically born as, either male of female. You obviously have swallowed the sick progressive delusions.

Even in oppressive islamic societies there are many gay people who are born gay but have to hide it. It is not the open society or open culture that creates gay individuals. What a person does with her or his body or how it is used is no one's or no religion's business.
You say it is nobody else's business. Ask the parents whose family are affected by Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity agenda of schools where they teach school kids they can choose what sex they want to be. Outrageous and offensive.

And you might want to know that some of these pipe line protestors are paid by our own government... And nothing has been done about issues... I mean fossil fuels is a huge amount of our GDP one would assume it rated a threat to national security. But hey i can understand why not getting any sleep ot not being able to go to the local mall is a national security event. Or is it we are simply over blowing all of this...
Depends whether you live near the occupied areas or not.
Nothing about the occupation is overblown. People have been harassed, threatened, intimidated, kept awake by the noise of horns blowing steadily.

"Davis also said that given the size of some donations – some are in excess of $30,000 – and the speed that the money poured in, she thinks there’s good reason to wonder where the money is coming from.
“The amount of money that's been raised, in the short period of time that that's happened, is very interesting,” she said.
“It raises a lot of questions about the organic nature of that fundraising activity. Were these all people who were interested in the anti-mandate aspects of the convoy? Or was there something else driving interest in the protest?”
Security experts concerned about possible ‘threat financing’ tied to trucker convoy (msn.com)
When large amounts of money, like over $30,000 is coming from foreign unidentified sources, it should raise alarm bells as this could be a threat to national security. Must be some very rich or powerful foreign actors behind this. Could it even be foreign governments who are trying to cause anarchy and instability in our democracy?

There are many criminals/thugs in the Ottawa blockade who are harassing, intimidating and committing criminal assault with the loud, steady noise for days on end. These are not beggars or people who need ministering by a counselor. They are there to harass and assault people with their horns blasting. People living there have to put up with this from 6 or 7 AM to 11 or 12 PM at night. People feel unsafe. This is not sustainable. The government will have to take action before long.
I would praise the people who are trying to help residents living in this part of Ottawa by helping seniors and others by taking them out for a walk, helping them take their dogs for a walk, picking up groceries for them. People are frightened of these terrorists and thugs doing all this stuff. They all are very frustrated and sad that the police or doing so little or next to nothing to protect the citizens of Ottawa.
