Oh bullshit, today they were dancing, bbqing and playing street hockey. Watched the livestreams for most of the afternoon.
War is hell.
"From the standpoint of a legal authority, the declaration of an emergency under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act does little," said Solicitor David White, adding there would be no additional authority to the city or police.
"It may provide some relief from some of the strictures that we operate under from a procurement standpoint..."
Hizzhonor is a little late to the party. The "state of emergency" occurred when those presuming 'authority' attempted to impose DEATH DRUGS onto the feisty and unwilling population of Canada (May God Bless EVERY patriotic and / or blue-collar Canadian Citizen). We need to get the mayor and Justlame in the same room to talk it over. Dey boat be losin'.
So they want to cut off the fuel so those trucks run out of gas and continue to plug up the downtown area?
Are you stupid? They run out of gas they'll take off the tires and really plug up that city. Or maybe they'll decide to take their trucks on the outside of the city and plug all activity going in and out of their city. You escalate, they escalate.
Probably won't be effective anyway. Just like at the Alberta border they'll just charge in anyway and bring supplies if things get bad.
Call in more buddies and shut down all trucking. Let the shelves, gas stations and everything else go empty.
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD Cmon guys. Take some of that 3.2 Mm and lawyer up. The emergency edict is blatantly in contravention of the Charter in the absence of some evidence other than truckers giving food to the homeless and sweeping up after themselves. Talk to Peckford’s counsel. This should be in court tomorrow morning.
Start building gallows then there will be an emergency
Bouncy castles!
Hot tubs!
Saunas!
Barbecue!
Come one, come all.

”The situation at this point is completely out of control because the individuals with the protest are calling the shots," Watson said. "They have far more people than we have police officers and I've indicated to the chief that we have to be much more nimble and proactive when it comes to these activities."
"It's not a demonstration, it's not an occupation, it's something and we don't have a Police Act that can adequately or effectively address this circumstance."
