They may have been Russian agents too. From the same sources, more or less. O horror, horror. Life was so good before.

By the way, you may want to google "BA.2". Yes spreading rapidly. No, not to worry. Models are showing and exsperts are calling.

BA2...there's already a BA3 too.

I wonder...how many times a year do the common cold or the flu mutate?

This is just more chicken-shit fear mongering.

You know that story where Stalin took a live chicken and ripped all its feathers out and then everyone watched while teh chicken begged him for food and he told them that this is how people are - you can pluck them clean and they will still beg you for basic necessities.

That's Bubber.

He's the chicken.

Just a reminder that Internet algorithms have targeted you as an easy rube who can be manipulated to say anything they want you to.

The government is desperately trying to flog restrictions and mandates when Omicron is everywhere, most people are vaccinated, and the PPE and vaccine piles are miles high for anyone who wants them.  ICU’s aren’t full and hospitalizations are declining.  This is a story about government trying to maintain controls that violate our Charter of Rights and freedoms.  I guess after all this spending, procurement, and fear porn, some of it justified early on, government is struggling to change course.

Freedom shouldn’t be politicized in Canada, but since the Liberal government insists on vilifying anyone who protests restrictions and mandates, the Liberals can be known as the Oppression Party, supporting arbitrary and harsh violations of our rights and freedoms every day. Your tax dollars at work.

Just watched an interview with a citizen of Ottawa who went for a walk and entered a park in Ottawa.  He was suddenly out of the blue aggressively pushed around by several men from the so-called convoy and who were hurling all kinds of insults at him and forced him out of the public park.  This is not a protest.  It is an occupation by thugs and terrorists and the Ottawa police and leaders are doing nothing;  just sitting back and watching all this go on.

Those are obviously left wing plants, or you are making it up.

Was on this morning's CTV news.

"A Centretown man says he was assaulted by demonstrators while trying to take pictures in Confederation Park on Monday.

Tim Abray has lived in the Centretown area for a decade but described the past four days, as “pretty challenging.”

Abray says he decided to go for a walk on Monday around noon. “I took a walk down the (Queen Elizabeth) Driveway to see how many trucks were still here.” When he got to Confederation Park near the National Arts Centre entrance he says, “I was asked to leave.”

He describes the next moments after being approached by demonstrators.

“They asked me if I was a supporter or not, and I said I was just here having a look and that I live in the neighbourhood. They told me to leave, and I said, ‘I don’t think so, this is where I live and anyone is allowed in the park,’ and he physically grabbed me and removed me from the property,” he says.

Abray says he still had his video recording at the time.

“I immediately went and spoke to police officers onsite,” says Abray. “It is clear they are not interested in a conversation, they are interested in a confrontation, and this is what we have been living with all weekend.”

Abray says he is not interested in pressing charges.

Stress and anxiety for downtown residents

Residents who live in Centretown describe the past four days as extremely loud, frustrating, and stressful.

Sarah Mack lives in Centretown has says it has been constant gridlock outside her apartment all weekend and into Monday. She says she has trouble concentrating and working from home.

“It has been nothing short of a nightmare. They were setting off fireworks all throughout the night. It was getting dangerously close to my windows.”

Mack says her cat has also been stressed and has thrown up because of anxiety. Mack says she has also been verbally assaulted by some demonstrators.

Mack says with no end in sight to the protests, she is making plans to leave. “I am exhausted. With this having no sign of ending at any point I don’t know what I am going to do, what choice I have but to leave the area.”

There are community Facebook groups that are trying to help residents get supplies. Laurena Nash says, “We are organizing trying to get parents noise cancelling headphones for their babies, or noise cancelling devices for rescue pets who have lots of anxiety…we are trying to do what we can because there is a lot of anxiety and stress out there.”

Other residents telling CTV News Ottawa that some people have not being able to get groceries or leave their homes because of safety concerns.

Meanwhile, police continue to ask residents to be patient. Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly says Neighbourhood Resource Teams will be back in neighbourhood on Tuesday.

“Our commitment is to redeploy uniformed members, our neighbourhood resource teams, that were previous deployed into the Market area, Lowertown, Sandy Hill, Centretown communities, redeployed out of the operational demonstration command centre that we have had for the past five days.”

Sloly says the officers will help residents feel safe. “Their primary duties and focus is to create a sense of confidence and safety of those communities. And those are the communities that have been the most directly and negatively affected over the last five days.”

Sloly says the police services goal is, “as quickly as possible we will try to return this city to a sense of normalcy.”

The so-called video shows nothing. For all you know he was attacked by leftists in drag. Is the poor man out of intensive care yet?

Just note, objectively: "Russian agents"; "misogynists and racists". This is the level of conversation and public messaging. Here. Now. Still Canada or already on the way to China-da?

Did you read the article or are you blabbering at the mouth after a few beer?

 

Fuck you, asshole.

The video shows nothing. For all you know this was people trying to make truckers look bad or your preferred saint, Tim Abray is a troublemaker himself rather than the innocent victim. Start filming people and you can get some...intense reactions. Film me off hand and see what happens to your wee camera...loser.

That's interesting because the Police Chief in Ottawa disagrees with you. As per his statement yesterday:

Quote

 

At the same time, I need to let everyone know of the incredible level of bravery, compassion, professionalism and dedication of all Ottawa Police Service members, all of the partner agencies that have joined us here in the last four days, all of our partners at the City of Ottawa and anyone who's played any direct role in supporting the operations around this demonstration. They have been an incredible group of individuals who kept this city safe during a situation that could have become riotous, it could have led to significant and severe injuries, and it could have led to the loss of lives.

None of that has occurred over the last four days. Let me repeat.

No injuries, no deaths, no riots in the last four days in the nation's capital, even though we have a global cause, national protest.

If you call these guys thugs and terrorists then I can't imagine what you call other protesters.

These are not "protesters".  They are anarchists and thugs who are plugging up the streets of Ottawa with trucks, insulting people, taking over parks, and making life miserable for honest citizens of Ottawa to try to get their way.  At some point they will have to be arrested and towed away.
