the police can do whatever the gently caress they want canada is a police junta. this is all unserious lies about caring for rule of law, while they support their chosen cause (spreading covid faster than even capital likes) like loving REALLY. you think homeless people drinking in confederation park thumb their noses at ops and tell them to call the rcmp?

In practice that's mostly bullshit. Ottawa cops deploy there all the time, both RCMP and OPS deploy on Wellington street, and I've woken up in the night with the RCMP at the door because my brother had just sold his car and the guy who bought it had wrecked it in gatineau park, and the paperwork hadn't been sorted out properly so they thought it was still his car.

lol just lol that the police get more than 1 in $4 of the City of Winnipeg's budget and can't do anything at all about a blockade, but can track a randon white SUV from downtown Winnipeg to Headingly after it hits some fascist collaborators and have a press conference within 12 hours

There are probably agreements in play but pretending they don’t have jurisdiction is a lie. Firing your chief mid-crisis is generally a bad look, but Ottawa is demonstrating when it is appropriate.

actionjackson posted:stupid american posting, is it true that the ottawa police can't do anything about certain areas because they are federally owned? i.e. the capitol It is not. The law that makes you a cop in Ottawa makes you a cop anywhere in Ontario. Local regs may order you not to do cop stuff in other jurisdictions, but legally your powers work just as well in Emo as they do in Cornwall, and certainly anywhere in Ottawa you can get into without bolt cutters. There are MOUs here that carve up the city into areas of primary jurisdiction. Usually this causes problems on the highways: if you see someone do something dumb in traffic on the 417, the OPS desk will fob you off on the OPP (so if you're eastbound, just wait until you're past the split and then call the locals). The National Capital Commission is the federal agency responsible for maintaining the buildings, roads and grounds of the government departments in the region, in both Ontario and Quebec. They're famously unaccountable and routinely piss off municipal governments on both sides with their enforcement, which a lot of people think is highhanded. The agency of primary jurisdiction for federal lands is the federal police (RCMP, or GRC in French), so when the NCC needs some kids kicked out of their lemonade stand, it's the gravel road cops who go do that for them. Confederation Park is managed by the NCC, so while Ottawa cops absolutely can go there to do cop stuff (and have), they prefer not to, and "what the gently caress were you doing in the park" is a question that comes up a lot behind closed doors, so I'm told

There are absolutely Canadian truckers there. Or at least Canadians with trucks. I don't know if you can still call them truckers if they've been fired for not being vaccinated.

It's the perfect grift for a dying increasingly violent right wing. Lots of trucks make it seem like the movement is more popular than it is because of the sheer scale of trucks. They get to rag against mainstream media for not covering the people who actually enjoy being occupied and the Gofundme controversy just riles up their culture war bullshit. It's chud catnip

https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1490161384587468800 This was Twitter's first suggestion under a (much more relevant) tweet by Justin Ling about the truckers' nonsensical demands: https://twitter.com/Justin_Ling/status/1486089777799651330 Now who the gently caress is Benny Johnson, you ask? After seconds of painstaking research, I still don't know or care. I just thought maybe it was Ben Johnson taking a break from his cheetah business to get political, but he must have more sense than that.
