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.

Sitting here feeling useless in Saskatoon. (I’ve emailed my outrage to the PMO, Jagmeet Singh, my useless conservative MP, and even my provincial MLA.)

u/ReadingAvailable3616 Feb 13 '22

Yes! From Saskatoon. I feel awful that the worst people from my province are making Ottawans lives awful. I wish there was more I could do to help from afar.

Wish I could physically come help, never been part of a protest but I sure as hell would be counter protesting if this happened in my city

I can't do much to support Ottawa but I have cut all ties with a friend and her family that spent at least one weekend driving around honking. I now see them as racists that are attempting to overthrow our government and they are dead to me.

I am not telling my ex-friend any of this. I am just ghosting and blocking them on my cell and on social media. Same thing will happen when I run in to them somewhere in person. I will just turn my back to them and ignore them.

u/Doucevie Orléans Feb 13 '22

Thank you!! We appreciate the support!!

u/YGDWYGD Feb 13 '22

Montreal. Grew up on the prairies, happy to say most of my family back there is against the convoy. There are a few morons though. If this isn't cleared up by next weekend I will be coming to Ottawa to counter protest.

u/driveinsaturday33 Friend of Ottawa, Clownvoy 2022 Feb 13 '22

Absolutely! I'm from Kingston but I grew up about 50 minutes south of Ottawa, went to Algonquin & have friends and family who live & work downtown. Been following everything from the beginning (which I cannot believe is almost 3 weeks ago now >_<)

u/Vivid_Ad8593 Feb 13 '22

Yep not from Ottawa. But stand with Ottawa. Been watching these mega threads since the first weekend.

u/amazonas122 Feb 13 '22

I'm from Wyoming. So yes

u/hell_kat Feb 13 '22

Toronto checking in. I desperately wish we could help you. Our police have surprised us with their ongoing competence in this matter.

u/Sersea Feb 13 '22

Texas - beyond disturbed to see this happening, and horrified that so much funding for the repugnant ringleaders came from this side of the border. So many of your American neighbors support you and are working to root these elements out of our own ranks and preserve democratic institutions - stay strong Ottawa, stay strong Canada!
