I found an old photo from 2010. It shows this wee tree!
By the time I was done, so was the sun.

It was a bit of a storm.
This weekend was the one-year anniversary of the so-called Truck Convoy. Protesters are now being called Convites, since most weren't truckers. The Court Cat (@ResistanceCats) covers their trials and bail hearings. The Cookie Lady (@MeTheCookieLady) has been watching them plan this past weekend.
This time the police were prepared, anticipating 600 or so. They were took action. I was really impressed with the OPS liaison team. They talked some of the whackos down.
Ottawa Police said Sunday morning that OPS and Ottawa Bylaw officers had issued 200 parking tickets and 47 Provincial Offences Notices, while 19 vehicles had been towed from the downtown area. – CTV

Then there was Alberta.

It's really beautiful, isn't it? I wouldn't want to shovel it (or probably be out in it too long!) but wow! And interesting about the trucking anniversary. I can't believe it was a whole year ago -- where did that time go?
ReplyDelete...I find it interesting to look back on trees that I planted.
ReplyDeleteBoy that sure was an event last year. I'm glad the authorities are working on it differently this year. And I hope the demands that were "just" have been considered fairly also. I'm seldom against demonstrations by "the people" but that one was also against the people who had to live around it.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this particular demonstration. Of course I never really understood the original one...
ReplyDeleteEach country has its oddities. Parking tickets - I doubt they get paid. These convoy people defy the authorities.
ReplyDeleteYou have had so much snow. It is always amazing to see how much trees have grown through the years.
ReplyDeleteSo it did happen. My guess is that they didn’t come form nearly as far away.
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly had a bumper crop of snow this year! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteGlad to see they have it under control this time!
ReplyDeleteI certainly despised the convoy, but of course I was directly affected by it.
ReplyDeleteSitting in South India where snowfall is not even a dream, I am astounded by the scenes. The coyote is eerie.
ReplyDeletePretty snow photos. One of the reasons I take so many photos of my gardens is to look back & see the growth, the change & sometimes the loss.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that Ottawa reminded quiet for the most part this weekend.
Trees grow amazingly fast only in a few year. Happy week with sunshine!
ReplyDeleteGoodness you got a LOT of snow. I'm glad the police were able to quell the anniversary "riot."
