I saw them live at Phoenix a few years back and it was like being educated in punk and I loved it.

Best part was a guy I dubbed Grandpa Punk, must have been in his 50s, black jeans and T-shirt. They started playing a banger and these kids bullrushed from the bar in the back to the pit, knocking people's drinks out and shoving people. Grandpa grabbed one of them by the shirt and just yelled WE DON'T DO THAT, DO BETTER before letting him go.

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.
I should probably still be angry but all my friends who were talking about ‘maybe the cops have a good reason to negotiate and give them a logistics base’ are finally all on board the gently caress THE OPS hate train and I get to tell them all I told you so last week so my smugness is helping mellow me a bit

lmao what the gently caress

The last thing I expected from a disorganized rabble of chuds, making GBS threads in the streets and robbing homeless shelters, was for someone to put together a concert stage with lighting and a sound system, then lining up porta potties like it was loving woodstock.

What the gently caress is happening in Ottawa anymore

This is why I think these assholes are mostly astroturfed American chuds: just open blatant contempt for your government and rule of law

I'm sure Canadians chuds are dickwads but this screams Trump Rally/ Charlottesville crowd to me.

My guess would be they are politically locked, from not hearing the end of it from the Conservatives if they do something about it (and creating either sound bytes or attack ads)*, to getting yelled at for not doing anything about it. But ultimately because if they sprung super early the cons were going to beat their chests over THEIR VOTERS not being heard.

Because the mandate lifting in conservative provinces and lack of political will there is mostly because it's some core voter base they don't want to lose.

*This was going to happen anyway.

Speaking as a homegrown son of the city, Ottawa is a very isolating place a lot of the time. People go to work, go home, keep on the wheel, and hang out with a usual friend group or clique a few times a week maybe. We have a middling population but we are generally very spread out and commute a lot. I think most people are just too focused on keeping their jobs going to want to try and preempt the cops and the federal government who we assume should be dealing with this, and there’s been some relief as the chuds get pushed out of the denser areas, even if they haven’t left the city. Especially since generally most people here are probably higher than average income? Just from the cost of living in the area. Picking a fight and potentially crippling a chud would be a hard sell if you are careerist at all or have a house you need to make payments on.

There is a breaking point though. Anger is building up

The occupiers don't have any skin in the game: no job to lose, no property worth taking, no fear of prosecution and more numerous, more violent bystanders to help them. Nobody is going to bet their own wealth to join a game these morons got into for free.

All we can do is shriek at an impotent government and hope we're heard over the sound of the party they're currently attending.

Seeing so many flags when I went to the counter protest and now I have a natural shudder every time I see a Canadian flag. Just a few days earlier I was wearing a sports jersey with a Canadian flag on it in support of the Canadian soccer team and it makes me sad.

My local mask mandates were just cancelled the other day.

I went for a walk around a mall this evening and like 5% were voluntarily choosing to wear a mask now that it's not required. A week ago it would have been 95%.

Looking forward to getting stares / comments for wearing a mask again, when "it should be your freedom to choose" turns into "get that diaper off your face" the second that mandates are dropped.
