Seems they cleared the War Memorial off down to Sparks, not sure exactly where the eastern line is set yet.

They had 3 weeks to leave lol. All that's left are white nationalist insurrectionists. One might even ask, "what the gently caress were these people doing here?"

The mandates were already in motion to go away forever before they got there, and they're not set by the Canadian federal government anyway. The only labourers in this dispute work FOR the assholes protesting, and are the ones making all of the deliveries to the point where one wonders what these people actually do all day.

:horse::horse::horse::horse::horse::corsair:

It's that same video game logic that was on display during the Jan 6th insurrection: if we get to a critical point and hold it long enough, something good will magically happen. Either the lizard people will shed their human skins and reveal their secret adrenochrome distillation tanks, or Trudeau will just deamaterialize, his evil having been exposed to all.

They haven’t even been fighting the cops, they had 3 weeks to barricade, tear up the pavement, whatever, and they haven’t.

It’s dumb, but not an insurrection.

I mean they are calling to dissolve government. They just believe their magical thinking will make them win.

but even in the face of an advancing police line they aren’t leaving!

Look, anyone who thinks that the cops coming up with whatever rules or justifications to finally get around to clearing out the chuds is some kind of step towards stricter control or will have some kind of effect on an actual working class revolution is still just working from a liberal mindset.

If you threaten the ruling class they will respond with violence, that's all there is to it. It doesn't matter if they have a piece of paper saying it's okay or not, they'll just justify it later like they always do. The chuds made it this far with zero organization because the cops were literally on their side.

Standing around in the streets is never going to accomplish something worthwhile, and if you're not organized then you're just a dumbass anarchist who might burn down a cop shop and murder a couple black teenagers, but you'll never effect lasting change without being properly organized.

e: also if your goal isn't working class revolution then you're a worthless liberal anyways and I don't care that much when your protest fails

This protest actually seemed very well organized. People want to deny it, but I think they have accelerated lifting of health measures. The people on the ground are clearly mostly idiots, but the way they blockaded strategic points with trucks and built encampments points to significant money and organization.

yeah they had ex-military and police involved. bulford is one of the main organizers ffs. they did achieve some of their goals, and now the state is going to throw them under the bus. cpc will try to play both sides of the entire mandates "issue" but that won't extend to the organizers.

Dude it took them days to get around to doing anything at all, if they were organised they would have had a plan immediately.

If someone the cops didn't support came in with the same plan of action they would have been severely beaten and arrested by day two.

Organization is the process of planning for defense and progression of your movement towards your actual goals, the chuds had none of this, they just had no opposition to prevent them from slowly loving around until they made enough people mad that the cops had to actually do something.

e: also lifting the mandate is literally what the ruling class wants, this is not a goal that demands organization, it's just convenient cover for the ruling class to do what they wanted to already.

The ruling class is almost always successful, that's what makes them the ruling class. I don't really have to hand it to them when they murder random indigeneus people or steal countless billions of dollars of productivity from the working class just because they're successful at it.

If the entirety of the Canadian police was at my beck and call I'd be able to accomplish plenty of things pretty easily, it's not that difficult to get poo poo done even you have an overwhelming private army.

i think it's more they were let in, literally allowed to setup, and then the organizers stepped up and reorganized things better

but the more thought i give the more i go back to my "dog that caught the car" position because the organizers didn't fortify their position very well overall

Cops showing up in gas masks now so if any of youse live in the area you prolly want to tape any drafty windows because I can tell you from experience that getting tear gas stink out of your house sucks.

Also, lol the chuds are getting the softest kid gloves treatment I've ever seen the cops give anyone, anywhere, ever.

Smoke grenades work by very slowly burning the powder inside, just like the CS grenades that may have started a fire in Waco.

If there’s an issue with the lot, they can start incredibly hot, intense fires. There are fires in Petawawa every summer from them lighting the dry grass. So protesters loving around with smoke grenades could also go very badly, or hilariously, depending on your point of view.

WRT CS gas being a prohibited chemical weapons: Hollow-Point bullets are prohibited, per the Hague, or tying or binding the hands of Prisoners either by custom or Geneva iirc. Try to imagine policework without those two things.

This isn’t a war, so it’s a moot point.
