Message from a dry bones person.
So do they know what to say when asked who declared “emergency act 2.0”.. ?
Exactly why is it that a protest is dangerous?
Because they dont like u dont agree with them… they believe they only knows whats best …
Because Trudeau will cry like a baby.
@Belle Dorris Jesus… do yourself a favor and take an English course
The bouncy castles might not be inflated to proper standards
Peaceful protests only allowed when the mayor says. Got it.
When you’re throwing a party, do you let your kids throw tantrums because they aren’t getting special treatment?
@Wf Coaker Sounds like a lot of parents that I know.
No more trucker deliveries to Ottawa, simple. Cut them off.
That’s a great idea! I think we should listen to the fine dummies of Ottawa and stay away from their city. Money talks!
Crush them, freeze their bank accounts.
No more trucker deliveries period! Freeze the economy, freeze their power.
I agree cut all supplies from Ottawa and distribute the goods to the rest of the county!!!! Make those clowns travel to get their goods!!!!!
Its part of The Charter of Righs and Freedoms. Every Canadian shall be able to protest against the government.
@Belle Dorris ew authoritarian
@Monty_11™ /// read this Monty ” if you don’t believe in some kind of order to sustain peace, then
you will be considered a potential offender to your neighborhood. If and when you have a family you
should realize protection is important. What will you do, carry a gun all your life to protect your family
” If so then you become the authoritarian.
@Belle Dorris /// Chris never wrote it was legal camping in the streets.
@Carolle N i agree with u… i wasnt againt truckers… im not against their grieavance either… but if u give them any chance to make u amunlawfull it will go against u most of the time…… if truckers would have keep on trucking and the protest would havebuse money to keep on going…
How about some consequences for the biggest lawbreakers in that city. I think we all know by now who I mean.
Since you don’t even have a name that you care to publish, no one has to take seriously whatever it is you are saying, which i don’t think you know.
@Hannah Rose Whether or not I’m giving my full name out to a public form does not make what I am saying any less true. I am a law abiding taxpaying Canadian and that’s all you need to know Hannah rose if that’s your real name.
Too bad the governments didn’t say the same thing for the railway blockades big 2019.
Of course not. They flew two Cabinet Ministers to BC to meet with the Wet and Sweaties and made a behind closed doors deal.
Sounds like a great time! Hard Pass!
the only way trouble would start would be government /establishment induced ….
not exactly sure what kind of response they are looking to get, but im expecting it to not be the one they want.
When I picture a modern day SS commander I feel like Steve Bell fits right in
Funny i picture Pierre Poilievre
Twitter booted me for calling him a skinhead
@Christian Shaw 😂but he is one of those!!
@Peter M why?
Content experts???
So scripted message in other words.
Try holding the government accountable. As you said “no matter who they are “
I live in calgary we have protest all the time it is no big deal. Canada is a regional democracy that is why they don’t care what happens in the west unless it interferes with the flow of resources to their provinces.
Nailed it
I also live in Calgary after living in Ontarable for 20 years Alberta is awesome!!!!
We have lots of protests in Edmonton too, but occupations and blockades are unacceptable. Yes, that includes all protesters, like when climate protesters blocked a bridge in Edmonton
@Thrill House I am witness to a lot of protectors not protester.
Unifying to protect each other gets a bad label as gov is committing genocide.
Our flag and our Constitution will be honoured.
Better get the emergence’s act going.
Peaceful protesters are come in to Ottawa. Yikes
Why hasn’t this mayor resigned yet
I hope he takes his own messaging seriously.
That should apply to Trudeau as well. Not allowed to go into hiding on our Nation’s birthday
How does this guy as a Ottawa City politician get to threaten Canadian’s as if he is a Police Official.
I thought impersonating a Police Officer is illegal.
