Just arrest the truck drivers. I don't think residents would mind if it took a few weeks to remove all the vehicles, as long as the torture and assault stop.

My guy, four corporals in an HL will move whatever the gently caress you order them to move for the cost of a per diem and a box lunch, and they'll enjoy it because it means driving the big truck means not spending the day vacuuming the little ones.

If their PR people aren't willing to justify aiding the civil power (which is their job) because it'll hurt their branding (which isn't), then Watson's in a prime position to just buy his own wrecker, two more great fuckoff tow trucks and two dozen little ones, put public works logos on the sides of them and pass a bylaw forbidding any other city-funded vendor from using a private tow service in all but the most exigent of circumstances.

It'd be a perfect "gently caress me? No, gently caress you" move, which is precisly why he'll never do that

Hmm yes,

Common ground with the people whose demands are to overthrow the government with a weird adhoc committee and whose objectives can't reasonably be done within the scope of power of the federal government.

Wait, doesn't the CF have a version of the Leopard 1 armored recovery vehicle? The Buffalo or something? If it can tow an MBT, it can tow a laden semi.

Lol, find a tank museum. Tow them shits out of there with Shermans and T-34s.

I let my mind wander in that direction last night, and got hung up on exactly that point. "Tell me what he has that you want" is an early question, and you kinda hafta get that one right for any sort of mediation to continue

I thought I saw earlier that one of the demands they made was for the immediate resignation of the senate, in the vein of 'worst person you know makes acceptable point', but after a solid 5 minutes of half-assed searching, I can't actually find a list of demands on any of their lovely geocities-quality websites so gently caress that.

It's just a deflection tactic because I'm sure his email and voicemail inboxes are filling up with messages angry residents and business owners. He's proposed a course of action for the federal government to take so when they don't do that he can blame them for not taking care of the protestors instead of his obviously incompetent police department.

No it was the immediate resignation of all MPs and then the truckers would work with the senate and the governor general.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is urging for an emergency debate in the House to address the Convoy crisis as well as issues our healthcare system is facing in the wake of the Pandemic.

Singh and The NDP are also advocating a push to crack down on the sale and display of registered hate symbols

I've respected Singh for a good, long while and the fact that he's the party leader most actively pushing back against the Convoy CHUDs really just makes me respect him even more.

I'm kind of surprised that hate symbols aren't already illegal. There was apparently a case in Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v Bell (c.o.b. Chop Shop Motorcycle Parts) (1994)) where a permanent injuction was granted against a racist-rear end bike shop selling stickers with images of various people of colour with superimposed "no" circles with a red slash (:wtf:). Surely swastikas qualify too, unless you're a licensed WW2 historian, or can people argue that they're selling them solely for the purposes of historical re-enactments? Was there never any law against Nazi propaganda during/after WW2?

Got in an argument with an idiot that supports this. My opening argument was that like 90% of the country supports the mandates and even close to 90% of truckers are vaccinated. The response was "that's bullshit, at least a 3rd of the country supports this" . Citation needed but, "we have almost half as many on our side so we win" is a real cool take.

They're probably referring to a poll released by Abacus Data where a third of respondents said they "Had a lot in common" with the Convoy members' position. Notice there is no mention of support for the Convoy and its actions and even Abacus Data itself notes this in their release.

Most cans will have a mark on the container marking it's safe capcity. 20 liters of diesel is 17kg, 20 liters of water is 20kg, the weight of the container is negligible.

It takes 2 seconds with a scale to tell the difference even if the cops can't tell the difference by smell.
