Local chatter is saying that the chuds that took the ferry to go to the demo in Victoria today were harrassing masked 12 year olds in the foot passenger lounge. Oh boy!!

Asproigerosis posted:It's truly baffling that all the cops were totally unprepared for a large occupation with violent intentions that was advertised well in advance. The same thing happened in my america on January 6. I think the world's cops are being insidiously attacked by Chinese Russian sonic weapons and causing widespread Havana syndrome making our cops so confused and psychically damaged they are accidently opening the doors to congress and giving armed escorts to the Canadian truckers. Ottawa is a sleepy bureaucrat town and I honestly think that - setting aside the politicization of the police force and how they might view these particular protestors - they were just unprepared for what was coming. Most of the time with big celebrations that require crowd control, or normal protests that happen that tend to be organized in advance and have a clear schedule they can easily allocate whatever resources they need well in advance and they just had no clue what was going to go down even though this protest was also pretty visible and announced in advance. Maybe they thought it was going to be another wet fart like the yellow vest protest which was a few hundred people at most, I don't know. I don't recall Ottawa police having to do a ton of unplanned crowd control in the last decade, anyway. I do expect a lot of protestors to end up with thousands if not tens of thousands in fines because Ottawa is also narc town central.

I think this tracks, they probably expected it to wrap up on it’s own like they always do, but somewhere along the way they clearly lost control of it and just decided it was easier to switch sides

Windsor blockade is clear, several arrests, a few tows, everyone else is gone. Apparently there were only a few dozen protestors left by the morning but not sure how many arrests. e: cbc says around a dozen arrests and a few vehicles towed Cold on a Cob has issued a correction as of 14:53 on Feb 13, 2022 |

If whatever needed forces free up from Windsor or prevention duty elsewhere don’t immediately come to Ottawa to surprise the extent to which the protests deflate after weekends, I officially Give Up on this dumb city. Even if Ottawa was surprised by the first weekend, we are owed a lot of answers on why things weren’t cleared up when police reported numbers hit like 250 protestors on the cold Tuesday after, before it became an international story.

they'll start with the staging areas away from downtown in ottawa, then work on downtown positioning concrete barriers and large trucks (dump trucks, garbage trucks, maybe snow plows (do they have funny names in ottawa?)) to block in their trucks, then start doing kettling to funnel people and then arrest anyone that resists probably start tomorrow or tuesday

Uhh why are they probably going to start taking action now? They haven't bothered so far. The police are literally fascists who agree with the chuds, I'm pretty sure that hasn't changed.

Cold on a Cob posted:they'll start with the staging areas away from downtown in ottawa, then work on downtown I think this all tracks, although I could see the ballpark being last. The 1500 Bronson base camp which facilitated airport access mysteriously cleared out last night. Not sure if they relocated in town, went home, or police negotiated more departures (which we’ll surely hear about from Navigator today).

Cold on a Cob posted:they'll start with the staging areas away from downtown in ottawa, then work on downtown They have half-done all of this: “Raided” POL at the laager at Coventry, but then immediately gave up. Now protesters carrying jerrycans can be seen everywhere, vehicles parked some blocks away from downtown can be seen unloading them. They installed concrete barriers on a handful of streets, but not enough to fully block them off, just reduce traffic. There’s been a cordon this entire time, but they have shown no intention of moving. Now what has happened is more and more OPP and RCMP and the announcement yesterday that those agencies will be running the central command post, along with PPS, while OPS “assists”. So maybe they’ll move those OPP and RCMP units from Windsor up here (12 hr drive), because it’s pretty clear OPS is not going to do it. Comedy option, of course, is using the Gatineau Police and Sûreté du Québec because whatever they end up doing, it would be hilarious, and I don’t think they’d have any qualms about taking the truncheon to Anglos.

Our only job when that happens is to shut the gently caress up and allow those first groups a bit of a well-deserved schadenfreude strut on their way to the head of the table to make the demand again

vyelkin posted:not really, fpp means when the ppc take over the conservative party then they win a majority with 40% of the vote. under PR basically all those PPC gains come from Con losses (the cons go down by 10 and the PPC go up by 21 so it isn't a straight 1:1 but it's close enough) and in exchange the Liberals are hugely weakened and have to deal with a much stronger NDP. PR also means that's probably the right's ceiling because the right parties combined never break around 40% of the vote, where FPP means as soon as they get their house in order and get to 40% they win a majority and can do whatever they want also i (a renter) would like some representation in parliament, as opposed to having 5 parties representing homeowners
