    1. When you’re throwing a party, do you let your kids throw tantrums because they aren’t getting special treatment?

    1. That’s a great idea! I think we should listen to the fine dummies of Ottawa and stay away from their city. Money talks!

    2. I agree cut all supplies from Ottawa and distribute the goods to the rest of the county!!!! Make those clowns travel to get their goods!!!!!

  1. Its part of The Charter of Righs and Freedoms. Every Canadian shall be able to protest against the government.

    1. @Monty_11™ /// read this Monty ” if you don’t believe in some kind of order to sustain peace, then
      you will be considered a potential offender to your neighborhood. If and when you have a family you
      should realize protection is important. What will you do, carry a gun all your life to protect your family
      ” If so then you become the authoritarian.

    2. @Carolle N i agree with u… i wasnt againt truckers… im not against their grieavance either… but if u give them any chance to make u amunlawfull it will go against u most of the time…… if truckers would have keep on trucking and the protest would havebuse money to keep on going…

  2. How about some consequences for the biggest lawbreakers in that city. I think we all know by now who I mean.

    1. Since you don’t even have a name that you care to publish, no one has to take seriously whatever it is you are saying, which i don’t think you know.

    2. @Hannah Rose Whether or not I’m giving my full name out to a public form does not make what I am saying any less true. I am a law abiding taxpaying Canadian and that’s all you need to know Hannah rose if that’s your real name.

    1. Of course not. They flew two Cabinet Ministers to BC to meet with the Wet and Sweaties and made a behind closed doors deal.

  3. not exactly sure what kind of response they are looking to get, but im expecting it to not be the one they want.

  4. When I picture a modern day SS commander I feel like Steve Bell fits right in

  5. Content experts???
    So scripted message in other words.

    Try holding the government accountable. As you said “no matter who they are “

  6. I live in calgary we have protest all the time it is no big deal. Canada is a regional democracy that is why they don’t care what happens in the west unless it interferes with the flow of resources to their provinces.

    1. I also live in Calgary after living in Ontarable for 20 years Alberta is awesome!!!!

    2. We have lots of protests in Edmonton too, but occupations and blockades are unacceptable. Yes, that includes all protesters, like when climate protesters blocked a bridge in Edmonton

    3. @Thrill House I am witness to a lot of protectors not protester.
      Unifying to protect each other gets a bad label as gov is committing genocide.

  7. That should apply to Trudeau as well. Not allowed to go into hiding on our Nation’s birthday

  8. How does this guy as a Ottawa City politician get to threaten Canadian’s as if he is a Police Official.
    I thought impersonating a Police Officer is illegal.
