University Avenue Shutdown

[basketcase]

Well then tell your fearless PM to come out of his quarantine and talk to the organizers of the convoy. and end these useless stupid unlawful mandates.

Why would he? The organizers don't have anything to do with trucking.

But I'll remember your desire for leaders to negotiate with protesters the next time it's a left-leaning cause.

 

[basketcase]

Many did, the ones that didn't were at the brink of losing their business or near the end of their lease. Please share with me what the occupying twats have done for the businesses they have shut down for the last 3 weeks, perhaps I missed it

Or the businesses relying on just on time shipping who can't run their businesses. There's also a bunch of working class people going unpaid on both sides of the Ambassador bridge because of this and it having talked to some of the people our company works with, it's spreading.

The organizers who not only have supported his overthrow for years but even have ties to some who want him dead? The organizers who wish to separate from Canada? The organizers who warn against "the muslim brotherhood"?
Our Prime Minister should meet with them? Please......

When I went there and looked for myself I didn't see any closed business other than normal business hours. The foot massage business had a line up.

So you think only businesses that were struggling went out of business because of the lock downs?

The videos during the walk-through clearly show all the businesses boarded up so I'm not sure your story jives. THe protestors have set up their own outdoor kitchens because EVERYTHING AROUND THEM IS CLOSED!

Thats what I heard too. The businesses (and especially the restaurants) were busier than ever.
Hotels too. Very hard to find a hotel room DT Ottawa right now. If you dont believe me, try calling one

Do you know how often plants are shut down because of just in time practices? That system needs to end.

I watched a live today with Starbucks 1 block off the protest wide open with a line and people and dudes in a tent cooking out front.

I personally saw a bar at nearly max capacity.

I guess the videos you watch show you what you want to see.

The little Jerry can thing they did with thousands of gas can being bought didn't come from Amazon.

There's businesses that probably shut down. But are they shut down because of the protest or because they don't agree with the protest?

I don't know but I sure as shit will never believe the media.

COVID Protesters Extend Hotel Stays in Ottawa Amid Reports of Mask Disputes

This is seen by some as an indication that mask and vaccine mandates protests could be prolonged.

Imagine you are disgusted with these protests and a business owner there. What better way to make them look bad than to say I had to close down and board up my windows.

If there was violence and destruction of property we would have seen it.

Personally my opinions get tossed out the window and I'm cashing in as much as possible. After 2 years lost income gimmie the money.

Just in time needs to end. It has proven to be detrimental to the economy due to its fragility. The pandemic has proven that.

Yup, local businesses are thriving…..

Local business groups are calling on all three levels of government to provide immediate financial assistance to shops and restaurants affected by the protest in Ottawa that is now in its 14th day.

The protest against pandemic rules across Canada has led to an estimated loss in sales of $3 million per day at the city's busiest mall, the Rideau Centre, according to the Retail Council of Canada.

Many other downtown businesses also chose to remain closed because of the ongoing protest and they have felt the one-two gut punch of pandemic and protests, says Sueling Ching, president & CEO of the Ottawa Board of Trade.

While downtown establishments plead for help, prominent local chef and restaurant owner Joe Thottungal has helped launch a GoFundMe page in support of affected restaurants.

Across the downtown core, businesses are struggling to attract customers during an already difficult time. Just when they thought they’d able to resume operations after almost two years of on-and-off pandemic-induced lockdowns and restrictions, the truckers invaded

Cynthia Ryan, who runs Masala, a jewelry and crystal shop on York Street, said she closed her store for a week because she wanted to keep her staff safe from harassment by maskless protesters. Although the store is open again, business is slow.

One business, although it has been open during the protest, has lost more money in the past two weeks than it did during the entire pandemic because people are not shopping, while another restauranteur told her that he expects to lose $20,000 if he can’t open on Valentine’s Day.
Businesses are also reluctant to go public with their concerns because they don’t want to be targeted by the demonstrators

Its not that they are doing it, its how they are doing it. In this case preventing citizens from going about their lawful businesses, breaking noise ordinances, repeated harassment of innocents is not protest.

Remember strikes happen on private property, only impede access to said property, and they can't outright stop traffic in and out, just slow it. So the protesters have well beyond legal limits.

Oh, please. You know very well that if they had protested in the less prominent place, our bought and paid for media would have simply ignored them. The Ottawa's public service parasites will have to endure a couple more weeks of inconvenience.

Sorry but they don't. Things are starting reach a head. And its about to get ugly.

So it's a big win for the economy and business?

So it's what the ConArtists and rightnuts call capitalism at it's best?

So, it's Dougs "Ontario Open For Business" hwy signage, license plates and fridge magnets slogan on steroids?

But hey, SImon tells us he's been there and seen the stores open and Phil swears up and down that the hotels are booming, HOW CAN THIS BE???
