I was watching the spacex stream last night. Shoulder to shoulder crowd where the super majority are not wearing masks. Realistically speaking there's only 7 states in the USA that still have a mask mandate. Many countries around the world are dropping restrictions entirely and returning freedom.
In Canada, many provinces have decided to end mandates. For example, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/covid-alta-edmonton-kenney-1.6343576 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/covid-alta-edmonton-...
Here in Ontario you cannot meet with more than 9 friends, masks are mandatory, restaurants and venues are operating at 50% capacity but full vaccination is required. Singing and dancing is illegal.
Ontario has some of the most restrictive rules in the world. Naturally there will be protests demanding we be like virtually everyone else in North America. Worse yet, as of a few weeks ago, the Federal government as part of Border guards made crossing the border require vaccination. Restrictions are going in the absolute wrong direction. Those now unemployed truckers moved on to protest.
The police have frameworks to deal with protests. They know what they can and cannot do and the police have effectively done nothing. They told the media and federal government that if you want the protest to end, bring in the military. They won't be doing it. Which they haven't, we going on weeks now?
What happened just a few hours ago. The Ontario government declared the protestors an 'occupation' which is a legal definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation and therefore justified a 'state of emergency' afterall can't declare emergency over protests. Ontario even went and seized the money raised by givesendgo which came with funny response: https://twitter.com/GiveSendGo/status/1491940399505682434?cxt=HHwWhMC5qfD4t7QpAAAA https://twitter.com/GiveSendGo/status/1491940399505682434?cx...
This is important. The only way to justify the emergency and removal of human rights is to assert they are a military occupation.
The allegation is obvious as well. This is a USA occupation force. By international law, every trucker arrested now must be treated as prisoners of war.
This is why the Ontario police are going door to door today with pre-printed pamphlets about peaceful protesting.
- loceng 5y agoIt's not door-to-door as far as we know, it's to specific people's homes who they saw posting on so social media. The military responded that they're not touching the protestors.
