Has anyone asked why they are spending all this money on policing? Why do peaceful truckers require this much policing? Sending in that many police to do nothing, with no crime to fight, is just purposefully trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

well its not all bad , they're helping protestors bring fuel and supplies, etc. in

The one photo showed 3 officers standing around at the counter protesters compound with no counter protesters.
No question, a poor allocation of resources.
What do they expect is going to change after watching for 2 weeks.
The protesters arn't taking the bait.

Ottawa police have 1800 members and they call in 1600 RCMP who are already short staffed by sometimes 32% because nobody wants a job that the PM doesn't support.
Ask your MP's why they are there?

How long before Trudeau and Watson ask for that fund to be shut down?

I wish they would have got first though the GOFUNDME at committee , then went back to investigate the foreign funds for the WE charity and then pulled in the Trudeau foundation of foreign funding and its influence.

I really wonder how the media misses this shit.

Thats $20M raised inside of 2 weeks. More funding than all the political parties put together.

Just a fringe minority, right?

The first hint was the people along the highways in -20c weather.

Ever see a crowd supporting Trudeau in the last 6 years.

wife said she read that if they bring in 1600 more cops the truckers will bring in 20,000 more protesters !

And you think the government isn't aware of this? (Does LOL fit here?)

There's a reason the Sock Puppet walked out of the House yesterday.

Ottawa mayor Jim Watson said it doesn't matter what the city response is, the convoy is always a step ahead. Don't worry Jim, just 2 weeks. We're all in this together.

Yesterday I spoke with a young woman who was down there the past 2 weekends and her report was just amazing. The truckers are getting huge support from both walk-ins and from city people.

They have set up food kitchens all over and the homeless have flocked to them and the atmosphere is 100% positive. Now the homeless have taken up the cause and are doing grounds maintenance, keeping the snow shoveled wherever they can, helping to clean up - there's no litter anywhere.

Just like BLM did, right? (Does LOL fit here?)

There's more food around than what can be consumed. Everything is free. There are tables with clothes and small-item necessities that the homeless, or anyone, can "shop" at. Free. She watched one chap go along the tables and pick a few select items up and put them into his shopping bag. They appreciate this immensely.

The cops came in, media all around shooting video, took some fuel cans away. When the media was gone, they brought some of it back.

She said that what you see on the news is staged and lies. The media doesn't seem to have a good perspective. (Does LOL fit here?)

She also said that there are some locals who just flip right out when they encounter a protester. The common denominator among the screamers? They're all boomers who have never had a challenge in their lives.

The convoy seems to have put some thought into their effort. And Jim seems to have a problem handling that.

So there are more locals all the time who are coming behind this movement.

I'm happy about the horns being shut down. This can only help the cause.

The contrast is rich - BLM, which the drama teacher supported, looting and burning, creating chaos.

The freedom movement - giving away free goods, feeding the homeless, cleaning up, standing guard around the memorials, keeping the snow shoveled away from them...

And who gets the bad rap?

Look at these grifters trying so hard to hang on to the narrative. Just shameless.
