What's happening in Ottawa today is disgusting, after 20 days of flag waving, singing, dancing, food, ice hockey, hot chocolate and lots of semi-trucks honking... the prime minister has decided to "invoke" a state of emergency without any proper authorization. How can a prime minister "invoke" a state of emergency by decree? By claiming that the protesters are violent because of their "rhetoric". Yes, their words. Their words are violent enough that the prime-minister to "invoke" a state of emergency, suspending all charter rights of Canadians.
A state of emergency cannot simply be "invoked" by the prime minister, it has to be debated and passed. Even if it were passed, there is no justification for relocating peaceful protesters.
No debate, no evidence of danger or violence from protesters, no boarded up buildings, no vandalized cars, no thefts, and most remarkably, no weapons!
Yet semi-trucks honking their horns and people partying in Ottawa justifies an emergency?
There are a dozen or so live streamers showing what's going on in Ottawa and one by one they are arrested live on stream. It's heart-wrenching.
There are about five or so left streaming, as the crowd is forced into a smaller and smaller area. There are reports of snipers on the rooftops, reports of semi-truck windows being smashed and drivers forcefully removed.
The aggressive maneuvers of the police are recorded on these streams in real time. The stream I've been watching today is here:
Our family loves Canada and the Canadian people. How this could happen in a supposedly free country grieves my heart. There is massive support for the truckers and protesters in Ottawa. Those being arrested are being charged with "mischief", whatever that means. They are likely going to be released quickly, but the idea is to remove the Canadian citizens from Ottawa, so they can eventually tow (and likely confiscate) the semi trucks.
This is for the prime minister to save face to his globalist friends. Meanwhile, every sovereign nation is horrified by this petty dictatorial action.
We can hear them on the livestream. They are reasoning with the police, they are praying for them, they are singing the Canadian National Anthem. They are telling the police they will not harm them, they are pleading with them.
I do not understand how a collective force can so abandon their personal morality that they can bully peaceful protesters, while they petition for their souls before Heaven. Satan has led many captive to his will and they will fight for his (temporary) satanic reign.
Looking into the eyes of the police and riot troops they are without remorse, believing "just following orders" or "just doing my job" will vindicate them on the day of judgement.
"It's wrong to push the women, c'mon man, you know that, it's wrong to push the women."
A man unwraps a granola bar and hands it to two police officers while they have a citizen pinned down and they are applying twist ties to their wrists.
I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:44-45
Rows and rows of soldiers, squeezing the citizens into a smaller and smaller space.
"It feels like a mosh pit in here, I'm bear hugging everyone!"
Brave trucker still sitting in the cab, even as the police line as reached his rig.
Baton in hand, ready to use against any citizen aggression. Face shield and medical mask, keeping everyone "safe" in this new Canadian distopia.
"you have to take a beating for your family, for your country and for the 16,000 people watching the livestream"
What's 11492 smiling about? What's so humorous?
Snipers on the roof.
"police are using those earplugs... so we'll see what they use next."
"Some of these officers need to brush their teeth, bro you need to bush your teeth, you need better teeth hygiene. I'm telling you right now, I can smell their breath and it ain't clean."
Someone's ready for a game of hocky. Love Canadians!!
"I'm working for my family and my country. You're working for who? I'm working for everyone I love, you're working for who exactly? Turn back and go home!"
"Nationalism is freedom, globalism is slavery"
"Now we know what their tactic is, sweep through with the horses and fill in the gap with police, divide up the crowd"
Fearless Canadian women! In fuzzy coats!
Gas mask, what are they planning?
I don't know how long this will be online, but here it is for now.
