Ultimately he did. You just didn't mention that part.

OK. So the truckers should have thanked the guy for showing up.

Thanks for that deep insight.

You’re talking about enslavement of the population to satisfy the selfishness of hypochondriacs who have unprecedented ample protections: vaccination, masking, antiviral treatment…No, you don’t get to shit all over our Charter rights.  We’ve endured two years of lockdowns and restrictions.  Mental health and businesses destroyed.  Education badly compromised.  Families kept apart.   It’s insane.  If it was ever warranted it most certainly no longer is.  90% of our population is vaccinated.  People have lost jobs because of mandates.

People must accept state-dictated healthcare and show proof to access basic freedoms.  No no no!!!!!!! 

What about the hospitals that are at the breaking point and the health care workers that are burnt out?  Would you rather let Covid have run wild, kill thousands more people, and completely destroy our health care system?  Doesn't sound like you have really thought this through or are ignoring reality.

I'm not sure what you mean by everyone.  The restrictions were targeted where the Covid spread is the most likely to occur.   

So if EVERYONE can spread it, then why are these place targeting the unvaccinated? 

Can unvaccinated fly? Can they take trains? Nope

Even to go into these place that you say where COVID is most likely to occur...the unvaccinated need to pay to prove they don't have it even though the vaccinated are just as likely to have it. 

Everyone means everyone....vaccinated and unvaccinated.

It is a proven scientific fact and the statistics prove that the unvaccinated are more likely to spread Covid than the vaccinated.  But if you are another one on here that don't accept the medical expert's advice, not much anyone can say to you.  You have lots of company here.

He looks like a victim.

Not like an injured one though.

Seems like he is not so in danger that he even goes outside to talk with journalists who appear to not be in danger as well.

But I agree with you, you're the side of the victims, or as we say, victims of victimhood mentality.

CTV/CBC/Globull are fake propaganda news outlets just like CNN is a fake propaganda news outlet. Twitter and Fakebook are no better. The leftist liberal North American media must never be listened to or believed anymore. They all have become the enemy of we the peasants. Believe it or not. ?

Facebook and Twitter censor anything conservative. And Twitter bans whomever they dislike

Frontline workers are burnt out from managing Covid protocols, not from fear of getting Covid.  Our ICU’s aren’t full.  Stop exaggerating.  Staff shortages are almost always due to absurd and over the top Covid protocols.  Life will never be risk free.  We can’t live like neurotic obsessive-compulsives, shutting down normal human behaviour for what is now a flu-like disease for the vast majority of people.  We’ve compromised our freedoms in ways we haven’t absorbed. I’m not sure they’ll return.  Opponents of totalitarianism are branded extremists by our federal government.  That is our reality.

Not once but three times, and while not a liberal fan, i blame that on a lackluster performance by the conservatives. last election was a joke switching tactics half way through an election hanging out all those groups he said he would support...and with all Justin cock up it was handed to them on a platter..

A trained seal could have beaten Justin and his gang of lairs...One must also give his campaign mangers kudos, for making the cons look like right wing extremists.... Abortion anyone, Guns anyone where they lied their ass off and still made the cons the bad guys...and to convince the average Canadians that voting for the cons was like eating a shovel full of shit, anyone was better than them cons who would reverse everything cut off their checks...Canadians are gullible, climate Barbie was right, say it loud enough often enough and they will believe anything...  

Yeah the seals in the cpc showed their true colors when they outlawed free speech when it comes to the LGBT community.

You completely missed the whole point of the reference, proving exactly what I was saying.  You're whining that the freedom convoy is being unfairly painted due to agitators present in the protest, but then gleefully fall back into hyperbole and commit the same offenses when I brought up BLM.  Your myopic hypocrisy was predictable and that's why I brought up BLM in the first place.  I've never discussed this matter with you before, but I was 90% certain it would trigger a silly rant like the one quoted.  

The reason so few Canadians care about the freedom convoy and why it has so little broad support is because it's a giant tantrum and full of folks who communicate and reason like you do here.  

Hes right though BLM is a terrorist organization.

The far right is trying to bring down the democratically elected Trudeau government not through ballet boxes but by violence and intimidations. Canadians are aware of these plots and are watching the protest with disgust as it develops and will back Trudeau. In fact the whole incident will raise Trudeau's popularity and only show the true face of far right and those who support them. PPC will get less votes in the next election and same with O'Toole or whoever takes over after he is kicked out by its own party.

The people of Ottawa are fed up with their city under occupation so it is time to go home.

Well Ottawa is enemy territory.  And no one is trying to get rid of Trudeau.  Only in your make believe mind,

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.

Ottawa hyper liberals just are not used to anyone disagreeing with them,

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.”

You're actually going to pretend you don't think he was being sarcastic? But you're not going to elaborate on how you perceive that to be the case? Why do you think he thanked him? Please express your worldview more clearly.

They're doing the best they can to keep the riff raff out, Bubber.

Cpl Daniel Bulford, former member of Trudeau's sniper detail who quit over the mandates, is now providing security for the protest.
