I am convinced that Troodoh and his regime quite intentionally created the opportunity to invoke emergency powers. Their recent steps have guaranteed a very high number of dead-enders among the protestors. When you see single fathers who had their child kidnapped and bank account frozen, what is left for them? There is no partial settlement, no promise, no threat of arrest or rubber bullets, nothing left for that father except force or restoration.
There are a lot of dead-enders in Ottawa. These aren't the hire a mob of onesy-wearing sweeties who talk tough in hordes. These are grown ass men who have no shits left to give.
Most likely, the government will make their move today or tomorrow, because Canada has a 3 day weekend coming up. The protest in Ottawa will likely be historic in proportion, reach critical mass and result in a no-confidence vote for Trudles.
Gov't back against the wall versus dead-enders. Going to be spicy.
Itd not gonna happen, fear is their only tool , they are hoping people will just leave. They aren't even allowwed to arrest the peaceful protestors, even under the emergency act people are still allowed to peacefully protest.
Where does it say peaceful protestjng os prohibited? It literally says "i) any public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace,"
That means peaceful protests are allowed, thats what the cotozens in Ottawa are doing.
What am I missing here?
Peaceful is not a subjective thing. Its pretty clear whats peaceful and what isnt. If the cops wanna arrest Peaceful protestors then they are going agaisnt the law, I doubt they wanna do that en masse.
Okay you are arrested? What good does that do? They cannot srrest every single protestor. This isnt gonna work in a big group of hundreds of people, so what do the cops do then?
Yes there is a court required you don't just get thrown directly into prison instantly, they still have to prove you violated to order to convict you.
Martial law is when military are patrolling the streets and theres a curfew, this is not martial law.
You just wrote a paragraph arguing semantics...
Arrests mean nothing. They cannot arrest every protestor, and the people who are arrested will have their charges dropped and get an opportunity to sue the city.
