Perhaps you pass a bill giving more money to the city of ottawa to compensate for increased policing costs, but mostly this is courts put in place injunctions and police enforce them and politicians STFU.
If I'm wrong about that, and trudeau should do something, what precisely should he do?
You spoke earlier that nazi and confederate flags and white supremecy while all present in the convoy are not the majority by a long shot and shouldn't be characterized as defining them. I agree. But what IS completely omnipresent is "**** trudeau". THe convoy is seemly as motivated by massive, massive unrelenting hatred for trudeau as much if not more so than anything to do with vaccines. Heck, you'd fit right in in half the signs. So being as apolotical as possible seems appropriate. The actions of these protesters are completely wrong and should stop immediately regardless of what anyone thinks of trudeau.
Yes but border crossings as much as they are in provinces fall under federal control. Many look at Ottawa as federal as they are near parliament. I am just asking does the anger start to turn towards the political figures doing nothing.
Im not sure how I would fit in with these protesters. I would never put a sticker or fly a flag that says Fxxk Justin Trudeau. I do not agree with their efforts in blocking borders or what they are doing to the citizens of Ottawa
I only blame them for creating the issue by putting a policy in place that never had to be in place. Even if the USA had not why now? Were at a 90% vaccination rate a world leader. Truckers are the one job were they are in a quarantine atmosphere. As well vaccines do very little from you catching the new strain or spreading it.
As for the Politicians just need to STFU the federal government never did that with rail blockades. They met with them. Calling anti vaxxers racists and his Nazis on the corners comments do not help either.
My guess is this weekend not going to get much better. I have no clue what the solution is other than the military or removing the vaccine mandates and even that may not get them to leave. There request for JT to resign is nuts. That is what elections are for
