University Avenue Shutdown
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
I hope they behave better than the dickhead protesters in Ottawa.
Well Tory has told the Chief no bullshit so I expect the cops to shut shit down. They mess with the hospitals and I say round them up, impound the vehicles and let the judges sort them out.
It should be fun because health care workers are holding a counter protest.
With truck convoy set to arrive Saturday, Toronto scrambles to prepare for ‘disruption’
“Vehicles will not be congregated around Queen’s Park,” police chief James Ramer said Friday, discussing the city’s plans to avoid disruption like what’s happened this week in Ottawa.
A group of Toronto health care providers are organizing a rally to counter a planned Saturday protest against vaccine mandates that has police and city officials urgently preparing to avoid the kind of disruption that has ground downtown Ottawa to a halt this week.
Describing themselves as “concerned doctors, nurses and other health care workers,” the group said they want to ensure protesters do not interfere with anyone trying to receive health care services and they also want to defend the rights of health care workers to show up to work free from harassment.
“We want to keep our streets open so that sick people can safely get the help they want and to reassure them that health care workers stand with them,” the group’s statement reads. “Our singular message is that access to health care should never be compromised.”
The health care worker’s rally is being planned as police have closed a key stretch of University Avenue in an effort to guarantee health care workers and patients access to Toronto’s hospital row ahead of the arrival of a planned protest convoy Saturday.
At a press conference Friday, Mayor John Tory reiterated comments he made Thursday, emphasizing that all protests must be peaceful and access routes to hospitals cannot be blocked.
The convoy organizers already stated they planned on keeping the protest more North on University to keep it away from the Hospitals. Yet the city and police are releasing press statements as if the convoy organizers are actually planning to attack them.
Talk about propaganda.
Talk about propaganda.
And you trust what the protesters say?
I trust reality. And what the media is saying isn't reality.
Last weekend I made a run early Saturday at 8am from Mississauga to Aurora and back to drop off stuff to my mom who lives in a retirement home there.
Cant actually go in the doorto even hug her, because dickheads who wont get vaccinated are giving tinder to the COVID fire that is Omicron.
On 401 on the way there platoons where a commercial truck with 6-8 cars and pickups behind it would all be honking and flying flags and aping what by then had moved on to Ottawa.
I would put the big trucks and all the followers into the protest area, then erect a strong cordon, where leave and you don't get back in.
Honk outside of allowed hours and have your horn disabled by police with a liberal squirt of spray foam into the horn throat.
Then army goes through every second day and tows away empty vehicles.
See how many want to stay in their vehicles when the fuel runs out and we are in mid February with no heat source at hand.
Hell maybe some carbon monoxide poisonings in trying to stay warm and kill a few protesters and we could stand outside the cordon chanting Darwin, Darwin, Darwin ...

Regardless of what the organizers say, the attendees who share their delusions are the potential problem. Considering a huge chunk of Toronto's hospital capacity is mere meters from the protest, it would be dumb for the police not to be prepared.
The US government has a vaccine mandate, the Canadian truckers cannot enter America unvaccinated. But this is not their grievance, it is supposedly with Ottawa imposing vaccine mandates or at least not banning others from imposing them. In fact the occupations in Ottawa and elsewhere are fueled by many other issues, organized by groups of malcontents with political opportunism and destruction and even foreign actors stocking the fires. Already the truck protest have exposed the visceral infighting and factions in the Conservative Party.
The pandemic cannot be vaccinated away or politicized away.
Just get the fucking shot FFS.

It sounds like you are not familiar with that area.
The hospitals are definitely on the northernmost section (the first 2 blocks) of University. Sinai, TGH, Sick Kids, Princess Margaret are all between College, where university starts and Edward.
So, it's not propaganda at all. It's geography.
Actually Ottawa has been relatively peaceful considering what could have happened by now. Some shitheads but overall peaceful.
My issue is holding people hostage and holding food hostage in Albert.
Hold your rallies if you like or use that money raised for the Maverick Party and instead use it for court. That is the only place to fight this. Fight the government in court where it will matter. They raised enough money to do so. Do it the right way.

I can’t wait for automatic/robot driven trucks… Driven during the night…
