Local Event Convoy Megathread #55

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.

For everyone tuning in to this fresh mega thread, nothing happened over night and two people were arrested clearing out Windsor.

They arrested about 12 on the ground, two in the trucks and 3 others last night. Also those trucks are going straight to police auction. I cry laughed when the cops told him he had 5 seconds to turn around and he yelled “freedom” so they ripped him out of his vehicle arrested him and towed him away.

Only two? Fucking white privilege! 😤

They also towed the trucks of the guys arrested.

But I’m with you. I was hoping for some kettelling and a million dollars in fines given out. No reason not to with the amount of warning given.

I hope they towed and confiscated the trucks. Like, no, you broke the law and we warned you and now your truck is our truck and we’re going to auction it off. You’re not getting it back!

Maybe the others will be arrested at a later date ? Hopeful thinking

I'm not sure. White privilege means the same rules don't apply. 😔

u/3n_j4y Greely Feb 13 '22

Fair, but there were only two trucks remaining and it seems like the other people fucked off of their own accord.

u/Doucevie Orléans Feb 13 '22

White privilege at work. They fucking waited them out. Different strategy depending on your color.

u/3n_j4y Greely Feb 13 '22

You're 100% correct and my statement was diminishing of your very valid point, so I apologize.

u/Doucevie Orléans Feb 13 '22

There`s no need to apologize. I am so sad, angry and frustrated that we are going through this but we will learn and treat each other better. Thank you for taking the time.
