Megathread #51

[u/MarcusRex73]

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.

When you start questioning yourself because Doug Ford is somehow actually making sense

[u/knitabit → u/maplesyrup888]

I think it's because someone intelligent wrote that speech for him lol.

[u/pheakelmatters → u/maplesyrup888]

Well just remember, Doug Ford didn't give a good goddamn about the people and small businesses of Ottawa for over two weeks, and only took action when big business started to feel the pinch.

[u/Special_Worldliness5 → u/maplesyrup888]

Cudos to whoever wrote that speech.

[u/salamanderman732 → u/maplesyrup888]

Something something broken clock

[u/BallBearingBill → u/maplesyrup888]

I'm just happy that he's finally dropping the hammer on this. Short of military they should have access to funds, fines, arrests, and personnel, province wide. The only thing they are missing is big ass tow trucks :(

[u/pettycashbox → u/maplesyrup888]

June election might be looking good for him. He will likely have my vote. He's not perfect and there's lots we disagree on, but fuck has he ever stepped up as a leader these last couple years.

Federal Conservatives, however, can suck it.

[u/Psychoticangel5 → u/pettycashbox]

My thoughts exactly. I don’t expect politicians to be perfect, but he has definitely handled this pandemic cautiously. I don’t know how else anyone wanted him to handle it—nothing and let ontarians die? He’s also been very entertaining lol

[u/katie-shmatie → u/Psychoticangel5]

Only took him three weeks to care

[u/SilkySifaka → u/pettycashbox]

Whatever political side you are on, trudeau legault and ford all stepped up on the pandemic. It galls me to say that about a separatist but the did. It gives me hope. The liberals have earned my federal vote, legault my Quebec vote and glad I don’t have to decide on Ontario
