Can't they just blow up mail boxes and kidnap diplomats like civilized separatists?
Note: Damn, I think I need to consult with someone about that sick sense of humour.

It's an early sign of dementia, get help.

Conservatives don't like it when you quote at them the exact things their leadership says, or does.

Coping mechanism, I think. I'm pretty sure our society is headed towards complete failure and anarchy. I've started researching the possibility is getting out of North America and going somewhere safer. Either that, or arming myself and getting ready for the apocalypse.

Ottawa police moved to cut off fuel supplies to the "Freedom Convoy" demonstrators occupying downtown Ottawa, hours after Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency due to the ongoing demonstration.
Dozens of armed police officers and firefighters moved into a parking lot at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium on Coventry Road just before 7 p.m. Sunday, with people on social media saying officers were seizing fuel being stored at the site. Police have said the stadium five kilometres away from Parliament Hill has been turned into a staging area for the demonstration over COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures.
Police have also said several people were arrested downtown on mischief charges for transporting fuel to demonstrators. Deputy Chief Steve Bell told CTV News at Six this is the next step in the enforcement to deal with the ongoing protest downtown.

The protesters have worn out their welcome. From desecrating national monuments to threatening and harassing Ottawa locals and their businesses, to the racists flying Nazi and Confederate flags, to leaving Ottawa residents feeling trapped in their own homes, to 'Canada Unity''s insane, unconstitutional demands to threatening to doxx politicians and protest at their homes, this has gone far enough.
And the police in Quebec City weren't playing around when they met the protesters in front of the National Assembly.

I see what they were trying to do here. Using actual "horse-power" to try to get past a vehicle blockade.

It’s about time! Aside from the fact that they are protesting provincial things at the federal level the people in the residential areas are done with this. They can’t sleep don’t feel safe leaving their houses having problems getting groceries. Are being followed by idiots in trucks yelling at them. It’s beyond stupid and isn’t a simple peaceful protest.

About 9 days too late IMO. This wouldn't have been a problem if the Ottawa police had done their jobs in the first place and not let them settle in all week.
