#FluTruxKlan Truck Ottawa Convoy


I must document, as the city of downtown Ottawa is still under the thumb of anarchists. I am so sad for those suffering at their hands. The endless honking dominates the news. It is illegal, and violates noise bylaws, but some of the cops are told not to engage them for fear of violence. It is awful to witness, let alone experience it. I feel badly for those living, working (or not working), or trying to travel. They've set up, again, at Coutts, Alberta/Montana border, and at the Windsor/Detroit border. Such a travesty. I fear for this precedent. Be wary, people, this is spreading around the world. It's the sheer numbers of people doing mischief, as well as illegal acts. On Twitter: Alaska, Brooklyn Bridge, New Zealand.

Part of the problem are the Ottawa Police (OPS), I think. They are either afraid to take action (some of them) or agree with them, according to witnesses who have asked them about it. They are investigating an arson and attempted murder attack in a downtown apartment building. Residents had yelled at protestors, and they were attacked. The OPS aren't required to have a vaccine, ironically. 

The Ottawa mayor wants our Prime Minister Trudeau to negotiate with these terrorists. These idiots are demanding citizens take off masks, which seems to go against their demands for freedom, to limit others' freedom. They aren't a gifted bunch. They still don't believe in science, and do believe in conspiracy theories, racism, bullying, evidenced by this rant by a newly self-appointed covidiot. He's willing to reshape the government, by forming a coalition between the other parties, and meeting with the US president. 

The protestors are attacking media personnel,  both in person downtown, and by other methods and threatening their children

Our premier is nowhere to be found. He won't ask for federal help, in this chain of command. Rumours are the SWAT team from Toronto is on the way. Good.

Citizens are taking action:

They are posting images of the trucks and talking to their insurance companies. The truckers are violating their terms of their insurance. Also, there is a list naming companies who received CEWS, which provided money to those trying to pay employees during the height of COVID–19.

 Convoy traitors names and shames truckers involved in the chaos. They have people phoning or contacting the head office of those parked downtown. 

A lawyer took the three leaders of the truck convoy to court to demand $100 per affected citizen in a class action suit. They were granted an interim injunction to prevent truckers from honing their horns.
Heavy tow truck operators, on contract with the city, are refusing to move the illegally parked trucks. The mayor said he is reviewing their contracts.
The mayor had an emergency meeting, and they upped the fines for the illegal behaviours:
Watson said the fine for idling would increase to $1,000 from $100, the fine for violating the noise bylaw would increase to $1,000 from $490 and the fine for encumbering a roadway would be increased to $1,000 from $350.

Let's see these guys keep laughing when they get home and find tens of thousands in fines in the mail.

...what a bunch of nut jobs!

What a terrible chaos to go through! I'm so sorry it's happening, but hope increased fines and legal actions against the truckers will help.

IMO it is an American-funded, fascist occupation. It would have been impossible to have dealt with the invasion any more poorly than it has been. These are Ford’s people, so he is reluctant to intervene. You really go me going here. 🤓

Your trucker protest is totally crazy, what good do they think it will do? And down here, a convoy of trucks, motorbikes, campervans and cars all drove to Wellington, blocked off so many streets, traffic was stopped in the roads north. emergency services had NO hope of reaching a person in need. And last night I saw they had pitched tents on the grass in front of Parliament aHouse!!! I had hoped it would pour with rain, hail or snow!!!Even a massive thunderstorm would have dampened the ground.
Your word " Covidiot" is so right.
Hang in there Jenn, we all know these are terrible times, and there are mad people everywhere who believe what they do is for a real reason.
I think of you and JB, stay safe, our outings are still just the supermarket and the Doctor!!!

I am sorry to hear ignorance spread into Canada and I am embarrassed that it started in the U.S.

I find it very disturbing that they have raised so much money - clearly from outside of Canada. The noise and confusion in Ottawa's core must be terrible. I feel sorry for the people who live there.

My Trumper friends here in the US are cheering these yahoos on and assure me that the Canadian people are solidly behind the protests and you can't go by what I read on the "Lamestream Media." I don't believe them of course.
So many people fall for stuff like this.
It is hard for me to see a way out of this.

It's awful. Since when does legitimate political discourse involve breaking the laws. The ignorance of "my freedom out trumps your freedom" (pun intended) is a modern day disgrace.
