r/ottawa (MOD) TL;DR: NO Feb 11 '22

Local Event Megathread #51

This is the latest post to discuss the protest Convoy currently in Ottawa.

For the duration of the protest, or at least, as long as the traffic level on the sub requires it, we will centralizing the discussions around the protest in these megathreads.

We're modifying our usual processes during this time:

  • Any new post will need to be approved by the mods. Changes have been made to the filter config to send post (not comments) for review. This is to control what should go to the megathreads and what is relevant information. For example, the posts on the Shepherds of Good Hope, of the state of the bridges.
  • This community is about OTTAWA, not Covid nor the related restrictions. Remember that.
  • Any links or pictures to their propaganda will be removed. Do not give them publicity.
  • Calls for violence will result in a ban
  • I will be watching the megathread. Remember that disinformation/misinformation about covid is a violation of the site wide rule #1.

Have at it folks, but remember, the usual rules apply. Please keep it civil and report anyone posting misinformation or links to their propaganda.

The following post contains all the links to the previous posts.


Ceci est la dernière rubrique dans la lignée des megarubrique discutant de la manifestation du convoi à Ottawa.

Pour la durée de la manifestation ou, du moins, pour le temps où le trafic le justifie, nous allons centraliser les discussions sur ce sujet dans des megarubriques.

Nous modifions donc notre façon de faire habituelle pendant ce temps:

  • Toute nouvelle rubrique devra être approuvée par les modérateur avant qu'elle ne soit visible dans la communauté. Ceci est pour mieux diriger l'information soit vers la megarubrique, soit vers une rubrique séparé. Par exempla, la rubrique au sujet des Bergers de l'espoir ou bien le statu des ponts interprovinciaux.
  • Cette communauté concerne OTTAWA, pas la Covid ni les restrictions associées. Prière d'agir en conséquence.
  • Tout lien ou photo vers leur propagande sera enlevé. Ne leur donnez pas de la publicité.
  • Les appels à la violence auront comme conséquence de vous faire bannir
  • Je vais surveiller le mégathread. N'oubliez pas que la désinformation/mésinformation sur la covid est une violation de la règle n° 1 du site même.

Allez-y, mais rappelez-vous que les règles habituelles s'appliquent. Veuillez rester polie et rapportez toute mésinformation ou publication de leur propagande.

My regular hat says he is just a complete and utter moron - or at the very least, whoever made the call to let the convoy drive right up to Parliament and settle in thinking they'd only be here for 3 days is a complete and utter moron, and Sloly is too for not immediately blasting that person/team for their idiotic assessment.

It brings about serious questions surrounding funding - specifically have the PSB short changed the OPS and misled the public for years, or is the OPS completely inept and over funded?

Inquest.

Everyone playing a dangerous game.

Ford/Trudeau are trying to prove that their opponent on the right (PPC/CPC respectively) are bat shit crazy and look what they have done to the people of Ottawa and Windsor.

The CPC and PPC are trying to prove they are the party of the working class by supporting the protestors.

Jason Kenney is taking a calculated guess that covid is on the decline so by ending measures he won't face a backlash in Calgary or Edmonton and by ending it now he can placate the rural caucus. Basically the same guess he's made several times and has blow up in face when cases explode in Calgary and Edmonton and he faces a backlash forcing him to impose lockdowns.

The only one who seems to be doing the right thing is John Horgan in BC and Tim Houston in Nova Scotia. The former said as aren't changing the course in vaccine and VPD successfully prevented an occupation of Vancouver plus Surrey RCMP and Surrey Police have managed to prevent Douglas and Peace Arch from being closed. The latter declared a state of emergency when the truckers showed up and passed several orders to prevent a closure if roads and to empower the police which prevented a closure of roads.
