The escalation hasn't worked as intended so far, so why not more escalation? Its bound to work out eventually right? |
Plus there’s pretty strict rules in the Fire Code regarding transportation and storage of flammable liquids. You can’t just do those things in the middle of a city. These things are being used to fill a larger storage tank. So, potential for explosives and just plain fire code violations, possibly also environmental regulation violations, and goodness knows what else on top of the fact you can’t just build an encampment in the middle of a city. |
I wanted to find out what's really going on in Ottawa, so I watched this news report from last night
https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/what-to-expect-from-the-convoy-protest-occupation-today-1.5773812 Then I wondered who this Tom Marazzo is - the guy whose the spokesman for the truckers and wants to overthrow the Trudeau government. He's NOT a trucker. He appears to be an unemployed software developer and former college instructor who spent time in the armed forces. |
Depends on the cause.
Protesting for race based civil rights versus a temper tantrum from entitled assholes. |
And a judge just ordered the confiscated fuel be returned to the truckers. |
It’s their fuel, so that makes sense to me, but I trust they will be told they can’t keep it “there”. They need fuel, they can put it in their rigs. |
One of the guys behind him is Paul Alexander, a Trump HHS appointee and herd immunity advocate who worked with Michael Caputo to lie about and bury official US government reports on the pandemic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_E._Alexander |
What a classist statement. |
+1 the irony of course is that the pp is the entitled asshole but has zero self awareness. |
Oh the irony! |
Their fuel is being stored and transported in a dangerous and illegal manner, hence the confiscation. |
