I'll believe it when I see it. The problem is there is not one group or set of leaders...
What's the situation like right now around Club Alpha and CMJ Downtown?

Why do you put this on a federal level when clearly it’s a municipal and provincial failure? The police took selfies with these morons while they were shitting on doorsteps.
Breaking News...
4:30 News Conference scheduled. Trudeau expected to invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act to give the federal government extra powers to handle anti-vaccine mandate protests across the country, sources say.
The Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in the 1980s, defines a national emergency as a temporary "urgent and critical situation" that "seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it."

Shows how easily real terrorists could do real damage to nation's capital
While there is plently of incompetence to go around, the OPS certainly has its share of the blame. They had a week that the trucks travelled across the country to get a plan together, it was no secret, it was all over main stream media. In 2011 the Vancouver police dealt with the hockey riots with the same notice, with only 900 police they put down the riot of 13000 people in 3 hours....that is how a police force should act. They are suppose to be protecting the citizens of Ottawa not taking selfies with protesters.
Too bad the location in the west end didn't open.
Going there is now impossible unless you work or live downtown

What you need to know about the secured area in downtown Ottawa
Ottawa police have established a secure zone around downtown Ottawa as part of their weekend clearing of the 'Freedom Convoy' demonstration.
He's done anyway, since he's not running in the October election. It'll be interesting to see how things play out then. Having someone like Catherine Mckenney running the city could make for a lot of changes in Ottawa, assuming they can ride their current popularity that far.
Well I'm pretty sure by Monday or early next week access to the DT will not be a problem....
I hope the lovely MAs and admin staff at Alpha and CMJ are safe and secure as the protest reaches a penultimate moment.
Both facilities have been open throughout the occupation, a testament to courage, resilience, and dedication. When combined with intelligence and beauty, a formidable combination. Bravo ladies
May this pass quickly quickly

Alpha Tweeted that they are closed
Yes I'd like to visit 185 lyon st as well, without going through a police checkpoint...I hope the lovely MAs and admin staff at Alpha and CMJ are safe and secure as the protest reaches a penultimate moment.

Unpopular opinion,
Disclaimer, I am not anti-vaxx nor anti-mandates. Our levels of government have failed us all. Canada is a democratic country, people should be permitted to demonstrate. The Ottawa demonstration was not an occupation, it was only labelled as such due to the mass of protesters. Had this been a very small group no one would have blinked. I do feel for businesses and downtown residents who were affected by the demonstration, but this is the nation's capital. I also understand that mandates are on a provincial level, but these people came from across our beautiful country to plea on a federal level. Random acts of violence occur whenever there are a mass of people, this was by and large a peaceful protest. It wasn't perfectly executed, but respect those who stand up for what they believe in, within reason. Today the world will see that Canada is no better than any other country. IMO, this should be a sad day for all Canadians.

disagree. Their demands are ridiculous once it ballooned from just the truckers requiring to be be vaxxed (which I think wasnt necessary at this point) Ending ALL mandates has no chance aside from gradual decreases from our numbers going down. If you look at world numbers as I do weekly - Canada is taking a good approach especially ON. Preventing use of our whole downtown area is an occupation - the human and financial cost to our city is massive
Demonstration.... They should have stayed on the sidewalk in front of the parliament or walked the streets one day, like any other demonstration. Not stayed 3 weeks shutting down downtown, they make themselves not being a demonstration anymore.
Hard disagree. These people are a scourge. They put their children and elderly in harms way deliberately. They party arm in arm with known racists and homophobes. They are not here to protest mandates or they would have gone straight to Queen's Park. They are here because they wanted to overthrow the Liberal government. They truly believed they would be able to bully the government into meeting them even though they have absolutely no right.
