Read your own link: the cafe was far away from the Freedom Convoy demonstration. No one was hit and no windows was smashed by protesters in Ottawa
10 or so blocks from Parliament Hill is far to you?

You think it's a coincidence that the window was smashed after the owner spoke out against the convoy on CTV?

The majority will overcome stupidity.
Unfortunately not in every case, but there’s somewhere you’ll fit in. Canadians are very forgiving, Don’t forget to wear your helmet outside.

Have you ever been to Ottawa??? Yes, 10 blocks from Parliament Hills is huge in Ottawa. Before the police start to clear it, the protest took a single street (Wellington street, a 6-block long street in front of Parliament) with a small effect on 2 streets to the south of it. Life was as usual with absolutely no sign of protesters south of Laurie Ave (5 blocks from Wellington Street). North of Wellington Street is Parliament and River. West and East borders of the protests were Elgin Street and War museum. So, very small area with little affect to residential life. Now, Police closed many streets that runs North in DT and moved protesters a few streets south of Parliament into more residential area. 10 blocks from Parliament Hills is not a downtown anymore. It is as if you say that protesters in front of Provincial Parliament on Toronto are responsible for broken windows at Train Station.

1.6 km from Parliament Hill to Happy Goat Coffee Shop. About 5 min by car or 15 min by foot.

Shouldn’t the hospitals and ICU’s in Ottawa be overrun by all the unvaccinated getting sick and dying from contracting Covid in such close quarters?
They’re now at 45% capacity, 9 Covid patients admitted in the last 7 days and 44 of 289 Emergency visits were Covid confirmed.
Odd. Very very odd.

Antisocial media rule # 1: If one is devoid of anything intelligent to say, revert to Trump.

In typical alt right-wing cherry picking style, let us see in the context which I used your mentor's name in

So because the RIGHT WING doesn't like facts so now the media is suppose to follow the radical right bullshit and nonsense narrative to be accepted? NOT!!!

Trump's enemy of the people bullshit spin line stuck on the radical right like honey on slice of toast eh?
Think about what I posted.

BTW, he maybe running in 2024 therefore at this point and time he is relevant although because of his sheer nonsense and bullshit, I can see why some on the ALT RIGHT would like to pretend he doesn't exist.

These protesors changed my opinion on when the mandates should be lifted.
Not because of the occupation but in spite of it.
They should ad 22 days, 1 day for every day of the occupation.
Mandates should be lifted tomorrow, why the F do the rest of us need to wait because of a bunch of white trailer trash knuckle dragging yahoo's. There is no point punishing us.

Glad there will be an election soon. Bye Bye PAWG Ford.

JT will be taken down the next time Parliament needs to vote on the budget.

Odd. Very very odd.
Only odd if you have no concept of how it spreads.
Hint, the protests were almost exclusively outdoors.

The sad thing about the world today is people have become so divided and its like civil war everywhere. I mean this truck convoy has evolved into a global phenomenon, divided communities big ans small, do we really want to live in a world like this?
The community of Coutts have people leaving friendships are broken, global news have an article on it.

I remember not understanding why Muslims and Hindus fight each other over religion but now it's the smallest thing and people are willing to go to war.

Exactly my point. Too far from the demonstration . There were little disturbances south of Laurie and absolutely no demonstrators south of Somerset. Again, it is Ottawa, not Toronto. 1.6 km is a long way here. It not not even a downtown anymore.

I really try not to get into insults as some do here but honestly there’s no valid excuse for your post in response to the links I sent you that show the physical violence absolutely took place!
Either you didn’t bother to read, will just simply deny evidence that runs counter to what you want to believe or you simply struggle to comprehend what was written.
So rather than “saying it again” try reading once.

These are from the very links you replied to insisting there was no physical violence:

“Earlier, a man who lives in the shelter was assaulted outdoors by protesters who then hurled racial slurs at a security guard who went to assist him, the shelter’s president and CEO said Sunday.”


And the lucky fact the rocks didn’t hit actually hit the individuals inside the ambulance doesn’t make it an unviolent assault.

“Paramedics asked for police escorts over the weekend after at least two ambulances were pelted with rocks.”
Not to mention during the last 2 days, gas cans being thrown at police, protestors attemting to grab guns from police, media being assaulted.

There would be if it was a big crowd.
But it was a pretty tiny protest compared to an average Canada Day event, or BLM and climate protests.

A 15 minute walk is too far?

I'm with 45% of the surveyed people in an Angus Reid poll.
Larger than the percentage of people who actually support the convoy.
https://angusreid.org/trudeau-convoy-trucker-protest-vaccine-mandates-covid-19/
" What is perhaps even more notable within this discussion is the overall impact that the protests have had on public opinion regarding pandemic-related mandates and restrictions. By nearly a two-to-one margin, Canadians say that they are now more likely to support both federal vaccine requirements at the Canada-U.S. border and indoor mask requirements in their communities"
