  Do you live in Canada, have family in Ottawa, or are you just consuming right-wing content in the US? They loaded up the capital area with 3,200L of fuel and started bringing in propane tanks. You think that wouldn't be considered a threat in front of the White House? Especially since the fortified compound around the White House is significantly further from the roadway than the comparatively unguarded Parliament is from Wellington St. With respect, I suggest you stick to commenting on the US, or at least things you have some specific knowledge of. Maybe read some contemporaneous news coverage. From Ottawa where it was happening. > Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency Sunday after a dystopian weekend of carnival-like scenes, heightened lawlessness, growing tensions between protesters and residents, and relentless noise, diesel fumes and fireworks. The fact you think the situation was limited to 'bouncy castles and hot tubs' is pretty telling of how little you know about what you're discussing. You know the invocation of the Act was supported by multiple political parties at the Federal level and Provincial Premiers of all parties?
