I mostly feel sorry for the dumb protesters who have been fully taken in by the grift, and am mad at the police and city who didn’t adequately deal with this from the onset. There are Jan 6 type people here but this is also full of just really stupid people who aren’t ready to cross that line, but are ready to stand around and act like that’s defending freedom.

I don’t like how much cheering of cops I’m seeing (e; not really here but in other ostensibly left spaces)

Meanwhile the mounted force has been deployed to gain ground and the SQ has the batons out and are on the front line. Westerners really have no idea what they are in for do they

Sometimes it makes for good photos of CHUDs stepping in their own opinions.

I was right there when buddy snapped this photo. The extra funny part was that the guy walked away, came back a few minutes later and stepped right in the poo poo again.

Are there any videos of the mounted police charge yet?

Tuned in just in time for the guy trying to organize a zerg rush to bust through the cops and protect the trucks with their bodies.

I’d like to see how that works out for them. I’m guessing not well.

None of the cops in that stream, in the line and backing them stretching from the Chateau to the Senate are OPS. I see PPS, Metro Toronto, RCMP, and SQ.

I think it is important for leftists to be aware of the underlying social relations of these institutions and concepts, and that they don't need to be defended, saved or upheld in their own right. Most importantly is to understand that these principles and institutions won't protect leftists in and of themselves. These are tools of power, not power in themselves

Your post, especially this part helped clarify some things for me. Really appreciate it.

Please. Let me tell you all about how you're all idiots. I am of superior intellect here. Go suck some dicks. You have all fucking stupid opinions. This is my fucking opinion.

Duck Rodgers posted:

Opposing the use of the emergencies act isn't necessarily siding with the convoy. Just like opposing violent police crackdown isn't necessarily in support of the convoy.

But I do think it is incorrect to think of protest in terms of 'rights' as a principle, and as upheld by the state. The ability to protest and to sway politics doesn't stem from a universal human right granted by the liberal capitalist state. Instead it is an aspect of power, and that should be very clear after the last three weeks. Groups with significant power are granted much more leeway by the state. As people have noted, the current protest has really only begun to face push back after their protest began to interrupt the flow of capital, when they became a challenge to a more powerful group.

On the other side, we have seen all through history the state and capital have no issues ignoring the 'rights' of marginalized groups, especially those who are in the way of capitalist development. The law and the principle of universal rights is only applied when it benefits power.

So when talking about the imposition of the emergencies act, we shouldn't think of the legal system as a neutral ground that is being corrupted in a way that will be used against opposition groups in the future. The legal system is a tool of the liberal capitalist state, it is not neutral and has always been used to legitimate and defend the hegemonic order. The legal system can be a ground of contestation, but the success of struggle in that realm doesn't spring from principles of human rights, it springs from the relative power of the social groups and classes using the legal system as an avenue of struggle. The same is true of protest.

Basically it's about power, not precedent.

I don't agree, the convoy is being broken up because it's making the government look like they have no control of their capital city and they're a failed state.

The only businesses being disrupted here are minor ones in downtown Ottawa. The convoy has the financial support of billionaires.

Yep.

Again, the reason for the Emergencies Act, whatever is being reported, is almost certainly because there needed to be legal pretext to move control over the policing response to Federal/Provincial hands because the OPS refused to follow orders.

Toronto didn’t need it for G20 because the Municipal government had control of the police and therefore the protesters and situation.

In Ottawa, the Municipal government had no control over the police and so no action was attempted. The protests “got out of control” because there was no control over the response to the protests.

commandeering tow trucks was also very handy

The SQ wear Olive instead of Police (navy) Blue because Quebec is literally doing it’s own thing. They also make up the front line of riot cops tonight. It’s also a unique term iirc and maybe even unique in the Francophone world.

Sûreté du Québec (French: [syʁte dy kebɛk], lit. 'Quebec Security'), abbreviated SQ, is the provincial police service for the Canadian province of Quebec. No official English name exists (lol)
