Behind a paywall. Could not read. The primary thing with all this is that all of these comments were based on initial, before anything happened plans. As one officer said, they had no tow trucks until EMA enacted and forced the operators to do as they were asked. The OPP said they had 24 tow trucks but they had names but none of them would cooperate. They operators were concerned with their own safety.

The "general idea" of any "spy" or national security agency of any country can be imagined to be anything. It is the thing of novels and movies but that does not mean those movies or novels are correct, let alone accurate. Security agencies are, for good reason, secretive and shrouded. Imagination can take you anywhere.

I called you BS for this " Just this week, again, Trudeau has doubled down on being a terrorist government, threatening lockdowns, restrictions, business closures if 90% of Canadians dont get jabbed every 3-6 months. For the rest of their lives, I presume, since Zero Covid is a scientifically proven extreme belief." He never said anything of what you posted. So, there is my explanation and you are full of BS with your post. And then your retort was "Enjoy your 10 covid jabs." which is also BS, if not BS, it is an uneducated opinion with, in your case equals BS.

?? Where did you get that? Are you saying using undercover people and sources is not a common and acceptable tactic? How do you know what they know, how they operate and what information is provided to government? You work there or have a spy there or????? Blowing smoke

How can an agency shrouded in secrecy "earn" trust?? You (and I) really have no idea what they know, what they deal with, who they deal with, what they can and cannot make public.

Ha! Called out for your BS (again) and you change subject. Nice try at deflection LOL

BS "asked Bernier whether he thought the federal legislation was necessary to end the Ottawa blockades. The office replied: “Hard for me to say.” “I did not get to do the operation without it ? I don’t know what complications I would have had, had it not been in place and I utilized the common law,”"

B.S.

The point being made was the difference between extremist and terrorist. It was a valid point and comparison. The speaker, the author the person who responds gets to define... unless you have some other response. I define you as a confused wacko by your incessant propaganda. My definition and is valid.

Well, one before the other I guess. The Canadian economics of it involve them all.

Yes, the fact is, initial reports. The ones presented way before anything happened or anyone showed up. The fact and far more important fact is they were overwhelmed and overcome by far more people than the reports even alluded to. They stayed longer than the initial reports alluded to as well. So, the initial reports were proven wrong and were useless and new plans and estimates had to be written and enacted. You even admit that "any plan only survives until contact with the enemy has been made" and that is, in fact, what happened. The plan failed and new ones had to be composed. Lucas was not the only one that said the initial reports were very wrong, all the police spokesmen so far stated the initial reports were incorrect assumptions. The federal government was not involved in the "initial plans". The initial plans were from OPP, RCMP and Ottawa police. We have to wait for the testimony of officials after the initial contact happened. Some time next week, or the week after I suspect.

I agree and said so. We, liberal and conservatives, have sold ourselves to China and other countries because of our desire for cheaper goods. And it is a lot more than just t shirts. We Canadians have become consumers and not manufacturers. Also, as I said, while you may want to disassociate form Chinese made goods, even your favourite brands are made in China or other cheap labour countries. To top it off, we buy goods from the USA but their point of origin is China. All I am saying is, in reality, we gave ourselves, willingly, to China and other low labour countries. I am afraid you really have little chance of not accepting the situation.

Lets be realistic. It is not a matter of rolling over, it is a matter of looking sideways and seeing reality. China is into our domestic systems and products as well. Buying clothes, even designer ones, are more often than not made in china. Most of the pots pans and dishes are made in china. Almost all your car parts are made in China. Your shrimp cocktail is most likely made with Chinese farm raised shrimp. On top of that, we get many things from the US and they are made in China and just routed through the US. We import almost $50 billion from China every year Chinese owned and controlled businesses here in Canada is huge. So, maybe living with products not made in China may be doable but not affordable.

Go for it dude. Smell reality. Try and get along without products form China. Our governments, conservative and liberal, sold out to China. There is no coming back. This country will b]never have the manufacturing capability to make all the things we want that are presently made in China (or abroad) I object to stupidity that is rhetorical and nonsensical, like your complaints. Object all you want, fact is, we Canadians have out priced ourselves with high wages, taxes and property.

He had no idea what what it was going to be 3 weeks later. He is still speaking of the first weekend,

What I have taken away from the testimony so far is that they completely underestimated the severity and amount of the protesters and crowd. All preliminary reports anticipated a normal protest and for it to last only the weekend. The commission is still questioning about the first weekend and has yet to get to the weeks later on. I am watching (global.ca is streaming it) and find it interesting how unprepared or, underestimated they (the Ottawa police) were.

As one official testified, That they all got it wrong and did not anticipate the amount of people and the protesters. He admitted that they all got it wrong and the plans drawn up as a result of initial reports were useless and the plans from that point on were very fluid. You, as a soldier , must know how this can happen and what occurs when your battle plan is completely out of scope when you arrive on scene.

Really? Or maybe he gets minute by minute and hour by hour reports directly form officers amongst the protesters. In the testimony, he went on to say he told officers not to arrest any people but to take photos and names and will get to charges after the fact. He did not want o put police in a situation where protester may get aggressive if arrests were made on the spot. There was no collusion between protesters and cops, the cops were to observe and report. Like being undercover but being open and in public view.

An inspector with the Ottawa Police Service was worried the 'Freedom Convoy' could turn into a Jan. 6-style attack on Parliament Hill, No such attack ever happened in Ottawa but the inspector told the commission "what materialized exceeded all our expectations" in terms of the size and scope of the protest. He said Tuesday he was shocked by the number of vehicles that rolled into the city at end of January. Lucas says close to 5,000 vehicles tried entering Ottawa on Jan. 29, the first major day of demonstrations, and that many were stopped travelling from Quebec. https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/ottawa-police-inspector-worried-freedom-convoy-could-turn-into-jan-6-attack-6004352?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=AutoPilot&fbclid=IwAR2HQNIkqEXgcQHOfymXzTvaAwECgUJLjw0l8hgkpHtO1HnytSLjFUqGNWU

As the Ottawa Police Inspector said today, so much misinformation and disinformation from the convoy protesters. And this video is a perfect example. LOL Canada Admits LOL LOL LOL Vindicated LOL LOL LOL

What are you taking about?? You talk yourself into circles and there is not exit point LOL

Not too much "made in Canada" stuff anymore. Careful of labels, they are smart nowadays to be able to hide actual site of manufacture and you end up buying made in XX and only packaged or shipped to you or your store from Canadian warehouse. You gave no solution. Stop buying made in China is not even reasonable. I wake up and smell reality, not pretendland. Oh and, the topic is the Emergency Act Commission. Even today, the questioning is still on the prep and planning for the trucker debacle and the first weekend. The key is that all police forces were surprised at the extent and quantity of the truckers. They had not planned or foreseen the scope of the actual event. The police forces did not anticipate or plan for what eventually happened.

Like what?? You just hate everybody and everything so, you are a wasted effort.

Where and when did I say that?? More BS from west LOL

Yeah... and how do you even think that can be done. You like the cheap prices China gives you too so don't be sanctimonious. Complaining and whining, your forte, is easy but , do you have solutions or just like to complain? LOL
