Support the truckers and protestors! END THE MANDATES! This will never end until we end it!
Amen! ππΎπ¨π¦πΊπΈβ€
Invite them over. You can make soup
True and we have the tools to end it. Humility. Listen to the epidemiologists. Listen to the experts. Name calling is non productive.
Is that so? What will you do when citizens vandalize your trucks like YOU vandalized OUR CITY?
“Paints them all with the same brush.” How convenient.
My family and I go downtown a couple hours everyday to show our gratitude and support! The world is watching. We live in Ottawa and fully support this protest!
He has been in office for how long? I know more about the homeless in Ottawa than he does and I know he does nothing to protect the homeless from ANYTHING, he is so busy selling out to a stack of dirty money. time for a better quality of mayor.
Thank you.
@Five I was there today and most of them were open. Which street were you on?
@Scott Leishman π,,,Ottawa, I donβt think so π€£
@Jbatman L’Heureux Go fund me should never have existed no matter what the cause. Itβs a quick getaway from reality and responsibility.
Pretty sure he never missed a pay check through all this π€¦ββοΈ
@nibsvkh Non Canadians SUPPORT YOU! How dare you say this.
@nibsvkh all you can do is complain about grammar. You’re scared of a virus, so you wouldn’t fight for your beliefs. Do something ππππππ you need government protection
@nibsvkh FU doormat.
@strobx1 I haven’t lived in Ottawa for 7 years, but I’ll try to get your message to everyone.
Pretty sure his net worth grew
Only when you give all our rights and freedoms back!
They arenβt given, they must be taken back.
This guy has just shown what side he is on.
This is all inflammatory language! A protest is legal if it’s peaceful!! No one has found those flags fyi! JT should come out of hiding! He’s a coward!! This mayor is a coward!! Masks and vax are not needed! There are cheap drugs that cure this and you know it!
You mean the rest of Canada who is laughing at you clowns? Or we would be if you werent causing serious harm by blocking ambulances.
@Five hahaha nobody is blocking ambulances
he’s always been a shill
@Scott Leishman On Kent Street this morning an emergency vehicle would never have been able to go anywhere due to the extent of the blockage.
Crazy how out of touch these politicians are… Every single one of them needs to be removed.
@eastcoasterner C justin trudeau wanted to change the election to the popular vote in 2018.
@Evan Makela Yep, that was a broken promise and the liberals no longer support electoral change.
@eastcoasterner C its litterly the only way they can win. Without toronto the liberals would loose everytime.
@Evan Makela Ya…without 1/3 the Canadian population they would loose…
@J yeah too bad we don’t go off number of votes. It seems like the most logical way to vote for a leader is to go with the guy who has the most votes.
NOT a group. This is the rest of Canada who have been ignored. The truckers speak for me, as I am a shut in.
Shameful mayor who doesn’t know yet what it feels like to be jobless. Such an elitist.
@Donna Dells they’re just trolls so usually a pathetic insult is all they manage lol
Thumpsup. Dont give in,our support from Greece.
@Joel Bouman or parrots on Trudeaus payroll
@Max Weinbach …maybe you and teddy should get a room.
@M Krchnak should I tell your mother to leave?
This Canadian citizen thinks it’s time for the Mayor to “move on” from his job.
@C donβt feed the troll. Heβs all over, in all threads
@memdaletpey oh is he? Perfect
@Leah Archambault you have any numbers to show this or are you living in some sort of fantasy world. Truckers rule
@C I eat trolls for lunch!
@strobx1 that’d great
And truckers eat Trudeau for lunch!
I hope I don’t catch that new variant. Although I should have immunity from it, I hear Coward-19 only spreads in liberals. Was worried for a minute
My family and I go downtown a couple hours everyday to show our gratitude and support! The world is watching. We live in Ottawa and fully support this protest!-
@larry wright would you invite them over for some soup?
@nibsvkh book you IQ test now, sorry get boosted
@P_ Lavv book you IQ test now, sorry get boosted
@Shawn Malloy book you IQ test now, sorry get boosted
@Jamie Peters book you IQ test now, sorry get boosted
WE ARENβT PROTESTERS, WE ARE CANADIANS WITH HUMAN RIGHTS-get that
These liberal governments are bunch of hypocrites. You comply and support them then youβre no different.
This is dictatorship government. Hi
@Eva Andy It was always a dictatorship⦠Democracy is a mere illusion.
@Boyd Goble is that’s you’re last name or is that what you do.
And don’t Ottawa citizens have HUMAN RIGHTS NOT TO BE IMPOSED THIS MADNESS?
@/-GUMBY- don’t worry it’s going to take two weeks. See what did there lol.
Speaking of delays, This is the mayor that hired a Brasilian company to build a multi-billion light train in Ottawa that is designed for Latin American climate.
if it brings you any comfort we have similar politicians in Denmark
He repeats what he’s told, research isn’t his Forte
Mr Mayor. Protests don’t have a dead line . The deadline is when we have our freedoms back.
Amen to that!
Amen!!
This is only the beginning, this is over when we Canadians say it’s over.
Well most Canadians say it’s over. Now go home.
@Boyd Goble Who’s most? It certainly isn’t you
As an Ottawa citizen, WE GET TO DECIDE WHEN THIS IS OVER. THIS IS OUR CITY. GTFOOH.
@/-GUMBY- Well maybe you should tell that to Trudeau, he’s the one to blame for all of this. Maybe the Truckers would leave if their and the rest of Canada’s requests were met.
He is an embarrassment to Canada right now, just like βgreat leaderβ
The worst crimes that have ever happened in this world. Were done in the name if law and order.
What you wrote is a word crime. It hurt my eyes to read it.
yaeh like sending soldiers to Ukraine. Where is Canada and where is Ukraine, or bombing Yugoslavia, or attacking civilians in Afghanistan. Sure! and do not forget indian kids
Stay as long as it is needed. End this madness of restrictions.
The mayor only cares about himself (or what he claims is “Ottawa”) but not the rest of Canada.
@Brent Morrison agreed π―
Itβs time he moves on, and we get a real Canadian in the job!
My family and I go downtown a couple hours everyday to show our gratitude and support! The world is watching. We live in Ottawa and fully support this protest!
How do you sleep at night? Do you have children? What kind of legacy are you leaving for them? They will be ashamed to bear your name. Stop down.. just step down. You don’t deserve that office.
