i went down to the encampment at st. james a few times. that's never going to happen again.

they did manage 39-days though, nearly double the freedom convoy

Yes, they did.

BLM To camped at the police headquarters for about 3 weeks in 2016. Idle No More also maintained a tent in front of old city hall for 20 weeks straight through 2013.

It's just that occupation is not a fruitful tactic in cities, especially in the cold.

then i stand corrected. i didn't know of the idle no more encampment at all. i do vaguely remember the blmto one at tps headquarters, but i thought that was a few people in sleeping bags for some reason, not an established camp

It's probably a bit optimistic to think that today the police response wouldn't be more violent and brutal.

I mean especially after we wasted all those pages arguing about emergency measures.

There was also another indigenous setup near St. Clair station that may have been Idle No More, certainly it was focused on the lack of clean drinking water on reserves. I'd put together some food every so often for them and my wife would drop it off on her way to work.

i walked by that one a lot before it got taken down for the ongoing construction, i had also forgotten about it until you mentioned it just now

i rescind my statement, you can set up a tent wherever you like, and probably no one will do anything at all to you. unless it's a city park and the mayor has decided that it won't look quite so bad when the police force you out because it's the middle of summer

oh I wasn't trying to disagree with you. I think a lot of planning goes into most encampments where they try to be visible but not too disruptive so they don't get cleared out immediately.

I mean, the thing with every other encampment protest (ie the ones more left-aligned or with a social justice goal) is that they weren't blocking major roadways, terrorizing the neighbourhood with 24/7 train horns, assaulting random passers-by, or forcing totally unrelated businesses to close.

When there were discussions with the BIA about St James, the reps were so nice to them. There were a few times that drums became a problem with the cops, but i think the St Louis wings was pretty glad to have us there. The vegan menu was a little exasperating.

Marches would start and stop at the preagreed upon points.

I think the biggest drama related to actual protest things was really when those two crustpunks demanded over the course of a weekend that they move to Queen's park or commerce court.

The portapotties were also pretty vile.

But nothing at all like what Ottawa experienced.

And in the end It doesn't even matter, the pull down of the camp was very blase as well.

can they use the microwave weapons on the snow and ice built up on the parking garage ramp of my condo building? because I can't get out of here. this is trudeau's fault somehow isn't it?!

e: just saw someone slide backwards and sideways down the ramp. gently caress trudeau!!!
