Anyone who is in Ottawa or close to Ottawa please get over to Parliament Hill and Rideau and Sussex with your video equipment. Buses are pulling in cops have built walls surrounding parliament. We know the truckers want peace and have been peaceful for 3 weeks. #HonkHonk

This while Canadian Banks have stopped withdrawals from happening.
This morning a reported ten buses of cops have arrived, fencing has been erected around parliament, and 100 cruisers surround the freedom convoy. My understanding is the strategy is to be arrested without comment. Teams of lawyers are prepared. These folks are courageous.
just a few live streams... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzcisZ0coh8 (24 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPtDhTiHOo0 currently live...
There should be more streams later...

If there's to be a police action I bet it will happen much later.
@Lookout
is what the latest news Presser kept saying less than an hour ago.
The New guy, Bell added nothing to my understanding of what is real or merely a mock.
One tweeted report noted that Ottawa had requested 1,800 Police Officers to help them and 300 were slated to arrive, but now only 20 have shown up.
A Deputy Police something or other sent a letter saying that nope, he will not be coming to Ottawa.
Meanwhile this is DAY 20, raining in Ottawa, on the brink of The Fourth Weekend. Police claim that they have 100 checkpoints set up to prevent people from joining in this weekend.
Maybe they will sweep in with massive overwhelming force and violence and clear the Protest out.

whatever shreds of faith I've had left as I read the news.
Poisonous boosters are still being pushed on us. Over-vaccinated humans are more vulnerable with each shot. And yet the selling increases. $100 in NYC reinstated if you take another booster. Evil.
They arrested Barber. He, along with Benjamin Dicter and Tamara Lich are the main leaders of The Convoy. So far as I understand, they can be held indefinitely without charges.
And Russia Russia Russia---if we had any faith at all in our country's leadership, this to-and-fro melange of Threat, Concern and BS would have worked it out of us by now.
A group of Veterans gathered around the War Memorial in Ottawa today. The bagpipes played Amazing Grace and then the Veterans sang O, Canada. There's a few hazy seconds at the start of the clip where I think they may have been reciting The Lord's Prayer. I'll look for it and I tell you it made me cry.

Self determined protocols to prevent infection based on local conditions are often more timely than waiting for an official government warning or alert level.
While the first sequences of BA.2 were submitted from the Philippines – and we have now seen thousands of cases, including in the United States, the UK and some in Australia – its origin is still unknown.
The exact properties of BA.2 are also still being investigated. While there is no evidence so far that it causes more severe disease, scientists do have some specific concerns.
1. It’s harder to differentiate
...
2. It may be more infectious
...
The researchers suggest fully vaccinated people are 2.5 times more susceptible to BA.2 than BA.1, and those who were booster vaccinated are nearly three times more susceptible.
The study examined more than 2,000 primary household cases of BA.2 to determine the number of cases that arose during a seven-day follow-up period.
The researchers also estimated the secondary attack rate (basically, the probability of infection occurs) to be 29% for households infected with BA.1 versus 39% for those infected with BA.2.

One possible, explicit punishment for participating in a peaceful protest in Canada -- beyond freezing your bank accounts -- is that the state will take your pet and, after 8 days, declare it "relinquished" if other "arrangements are not made." https://t.co/9hrVSyHNlF
The Parliament will vote on the Emergencies order on Monday Morning.
7 out of the 11 Canadian Provincial Premieres have declared that they are against the EO.
2 of those are from the most populated provinces, Ontario and British Colombia.
There is a 50% population provision to pass or fail this Emergencies Order. Too soon to tell how it will go.
Meanwhile the Threats continue in Ottawa. The Truckers will hold the line. What will Trudeau do? IDK.
I'm going to post a few tweets that tell the story well. It may take me a bit of time to get them here.
House agenda being changed to allow debate on Emergency Act. Debate began this morning at 10 AM and will continue for 5 days through long weekend from 8 AM to 12 AM, with vote Monday at 8:30 PM (EST). Watch House here:https://t.co/EGiabMsOqK#calgarycentre#cdnpoli#emergencyact
On Thursday, former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also offered his two cents on the protests raging in the North American nation.
"The violent crackdown on #FreedomConvoy2022 has nothing to do with freedom of speech and human rights," Ahmadinejad tweeted.
"How coercion could be related to liberty & freedom of choice?" the Iranian wrote, signing off with the #TruckersForFreedom hashtag.

As civil libertarians, it is less important what people are saying as their right to say it. That includes people who speak through their financial support or donations. Millions in such donations were blocked by GoFundMe or the Canadian government in this crackdown.
It is often tempting to ignore the implications of such extreme measures by focusing on your disagreement with a given group. To understand the scope of this law you can simply look to how widely revered movements could be treated under the same provisions. For example, the Civil Rights marchers also engaged in civil disobedience in shutting down bridges and occupying spaces. As I stated on Monday,
“Now, when you put all of that together, you’ve extinguished the ability of thousands, perhaps even millions of people to express themselves through a form of civil disobedience. And according to Prime Minister Trudeau’s definition, he could have shut down the Civil Rights Movement. He could have arrested Martin Luther King. He could have arrested any number of figures that we now celebrate today as visionaries.”
He’s basically saying that any type of protests going forward can have the same repercussions. BLM of course was much more destructive than the truckers have been. Our VP asked for donations to get people out of jail for them. Tsk tsk.

If it ever was about the health of society then why didn't they
help the world with treatments rather than "Warp Speed Vaccine" being the only answer. Why not talk about Vit D, Zinc, Vit C, Ivermectin, etc.etc.etc.

Unfortunately there is a new variant on the horizon

Here’s what we know about the BA.2 variant so far Asia Times Feb 17, 2022
The BA.2 variant is like Omicron’s sister and scientists do have some very specific concerns about it
