If you are saying QPC as opposed to QP and by on foot you mean they can block the roads on foot rather than vehicle then no. the park and even the lawn of the Legislature can accommodate thousands of protesters. But of cousre the goal of the truckers is not to protest but rather to attempt to force the government to capitulate.
Ford Invokes State of Emergency
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
And when the Natives were doing the rail blockade. What about that one?
It went on far longer than this one, and no one lifted a finger to stop it for months. It had way more of an economic impact, as rail moves more per trip than trucks do. And, there wasn't another route the trains could take that was only an hour away.
But every political leader tip toed around that one for months on end even though it was way more economically impactful.
Why?
HYPOCRISY!!!!!!
Oh please, stop being a Nancy Boy.
GiveSendGo says that the Ontario Government doesn't have jurisdiction to red flag their funds, Steve Bannon can take it to court.
So Monty, if I peacefully protest in your backyard for 2 weeks and set up a bouncy castle and make a bonfire there, but I'm peaceful, do I get to stay there forever?
You're being unfair to King Duggo the Great!
He was snowmobiling. That's a good enough reason in Duggo-land.
This is either gonna make or break Trudeau.
I hope it doesnt get resolved with police violence, but I can easily see this blow up in Justin's face

Since their goal is to make encampments with trucks there is no way they should be able to do this in any city.
Except that its provincial jurisdiction, as only the province appears able to do the injunctions.
Nah. The public is pissed off. Blocking the bridge was a HUUUGE mistake.
Really?
It didn't blow up in his fucking Father's face.
Big Daddy Trudeau suspended the rights of an entire Province, and rounded up 435 innocent people against due process or their charter rights, all for the actions of a measly 18 people. He treated an entire Province as if they were guilty for the actions of 18 people.
And he was fucking cheered for it. Because the sheep of this country were told it was in the interest of safety.
Just like Canadians were told it was in the interest of safety when citizens of Japanese decent were held in camps during WW2. Having their rights taken away.
Just like we are being told it is in the interest of safety to persecute those who choose not to undergo an experimental drug treatment today.
Canadians have a history of cheering their government on when they take away the rights of others.
Then 5 or 6 decades later we issue apologies for it, yet learn absolutely nothing.

His press conference hadn't even ended when some of the truckers started to move out. The line should have been:
"Gentlemen, start your engines!"...
Yes, we blame him for this too.Conservatives and protesters are blaming Trudeau for everything else Ford has done… why not blame him for this too…
Ontario Premier Doug Ford was in Muskoka area as Ottawa dealt with escalating convoy protests
As the City of Ottawa prepared for a state of emergency, amid what police services in the region believed was an “insurrection” by "Freedom Convoy" protesters, Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford was spotted on a snowmobile trail in the Muskoka area.
No, they're allowed to protest at parliament hill. But they shouldn't be able to camp there, or snarl traffic for weeks. People here would lose their minds if BLM did it (I support BLM, but would not support this type of thing), and they would be right!
I think protesters sometime don't think of the optics of the PR. By inconveniencing people, you likely aren't winning support. And public sentiment is low for this protest.
While there has been little physical violence, they technically are breaking laws. Which, from my understanding, give police leeway to break up the protest. There are several bylaws they have broken (parking heavy trucks on city streets, blocking traffic, noice, open fires, storing fuel in areas not designated for it, the list goes on), and some of them are public health and safety issues.
