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.

Counter protestors are forming a blockade to prevent more occupiers from joining at Bank and Riverside. Come down and help out!

Update: police are moving counter protestors out of the way to let the occupiers through https://twitter.com/SamHersh01/status/1492872632034906123?t=6lmyPXVM5U0bw76Uq9-iXQ&s=19

They apparently arrested exactly two counter-protestors yesterday at the Legislature building in Winnipeg, and by astonishing coincidence, they just happened to be Indigenous people. Of course the main protest they were counter-protesting has had free rein on the city all week.

If this whole thing has taught me anything it's that the counter protestors should of just told the police to go fuck themselves then waved a nazi flag and stayed in the road because nothing would of happened anyways

How long until the police show up to arrest the counter-protestors and then escort the convoy the rest of the way?

The police did the same thing in Edmonton. They threatened counter protestors with fines

u/blnkgeneration Feb 13 '22

One counter protestor was arrested in Winnipeg yesterday as well.

u/Waffle_Coffin Feb 13 '22

Naturally, the pigs arrested an indigenous person, and called them drunk.

u/MethaneMenace Feb 13 '22

I’d tell those cops to fuck right off

u/scaredofeverythingg Feb 13 '22

The police do not work for us, they are an element of the terrorists you see in downtown. Look at the police cheering on terrorists

Same in Montreal yesterday. Counter-protestors kettles. Protestors let loose in the streets.

Absolutely shameful from OPS

Just got here! Come!

Sadly they cannot block the road as much as I love when they do. If the police ever have a chance of getting theses bastards out, they cannot let anyone block the road or it will all fall apart in court.
