Feb. 20 – 170 arrests
Coventry is being emptied Feb. 20th, 5 p.m.. They've made an arrest.
Some have moved east of Ottawa.
UPDATE: Judy Trinh went to Coventry Rd., an encampment, as they were dismantling the site. She began a Twitter thread.
"What appears to be carloads of protesters (maybe returning from downtown?) are doing laps around Coventry lot. They seem to be flummoxed that the supply camp is gone."
One dude with misinformation: "I think all the Ottawa Police is resigned, called in sick... Bad brainwashed people, just don't care about the people."
Police are releasing statements. "Vehicles will be impounded for 7 days."
Feb. 19 – The New York Times was shameful: they were called up on it, and changed the story twice. They didn't march with guns, first day was pepper spray, next day (Sat.) heavy batons.
Daniel Dale doing his thing - dropping facts and being a great and decent guy 🙌🏽

People headed for Quebec City. Not good news. Protests in Queen's Park, as well.
At least 76 financial accounts frozen since Emergencies Act invoked: Mendicino
It is good news in Ottawa. No one hurt, no one dead. Fox Fake News has been promoting a story about an older woman getting hurt. She was in the front of the line by someone livestreaming who wanted click bait. The funny thing is they have named her the same name as the person who was presumably killed on Jan. 6th in the US.
A Fox reporter, Sara Carter, is similarly spreading lies.

They saw the highly trained police on horseback, trained in the US, and didn't back off. Several people pretended to be pepper sprayed. They were not. The anarchists are being abusive to media and, for example, the clerk at a hotel in Ottawa.
My MPP ought to be arrested, too. He is inciting them to violence.

It's still going to take time, but it's working. If these idiots want to scream bloody murder about a violation of rights by a government leader, they can look squarely at Harper at the G20 in Toronto back in the day.
...it's about time.
I have been watching much of action on live television - it made me so sad that my beautiful country has come to this. And I am so happy that the occupation is ending.
I read on Twitter that some people are complaining that those arrested have not been read their Miranda rights - duh! This is Canada, not the USA. And I read that someone in Tamara Lich's bail hearing talked about the First Amendment. Again, duh.
Praying for peace and resolution.
You're keeping on top of this one. It's a very sad event.
The NZ police should take lessons from this, the protestors are spreading from Wellington to other cities, they set up kitchens, classrooms, washing/ shower areas!!!People in Wellington cannot reach their workplace or students access their University Campus!!!Maybe where you are is safer.XXX
I've been following closely. It makes me so sad to see this happen in Canada.
