That just says kind of the same thing.
The policing is a civic issue, and a small city like ottawa is not equipped to handle an influx of thousands of shit disturbers, because it’s simply unexpected. That can’t be attributed to Trudeau or the federal government.
I also understand the hesitancy to engage with the protest if the force is unprepared for a violent clash with that many people, as there were most certainly threats of violence in the protest, as well as a certain recent attempted coup in our crack den neighbours house down south.
The emergency act did absolutely zero to affect the lives of any regular citizen across Canada during its use. It solved the problem. It didn’t result in the erosion of any freedoms of anyone across Canada, including the right to peaceful protest, as last I checked there’s a fucking protest/rally every single day here in Vancouver, and as long as it’s not impacting regular citizens in an unreasonable manner, it’s allowed to operate exactly as expected.
