Today police say last night there were a grand total of 150 people at what they call “illegal occupation” and under 400 vehicles. So the Emergencies Act used for 150 people? The Emergency Measures Act , OPs and OPP could not deal with that small number in the nation’s capital?

Why do some politicians never mention the 45,662 Canadians who died of COVID? Or their families? As if they are not victims of the pandemic? Or the healthcare workers who worked over-time under brutal conditions and risked their own families health? 🤔

Sir, the “we pick up garbage” defence or “there are children here” is not a justification for illegally occupying a downtown & businesses shut down for 3 weeks. Taxpayers in the city already have garbage pick up and parks for kids taken care of by…paying tax and voting

There are multiple editorials across all papers giving openly negative views of the startling Poilievre claim that as PM he would fire the Gov of Bank and destroy Bank’s independence. Is this a turning point in campaign? #cdnpoli

A province declares a state of emergency and in the nation’s capital there is zero police enforcement of anything in large parts of the city. The protestors are making a mockery of police, who have not bothered to inform citizens of any plan to re-establish order.

New pop in the weird “Beer and Poilivre” culture war going on now. Mr Poilivre dissed @SteamWhistle as “watered down” when they declared political neutrality after he hosted a rally at their facility. So he then praised Oast Beer—who promptly distanced themselves too. #cdnpoli

After years of coverage I can’t ever remember testimony like this, especially from the former attorney general who was just in cabinate. This is beyond stunning and anyone wondering if this would fizzle out, if she would skate, think again. This might be election shaping #cdnpoli

My wife got tested last Sunday night at 6pm in Ottawa. She was told results would come within 48 hours. We still have NO results in 6 days plus. Question: how long are others waiting for results? Does this mean the data Canadians are getting is very out of date? #cdnpoli

The organizers repeatedly and openly show they have no interest in the democratic process or the rule of law. Not just their MOU but here the spokesperson says he’s “willing” to sit as a “coalition” with elected MPs in government. Democracies don’t work like that. #cdnpoli

Mr. Poilievre, those are a series of edited clips with no context and have nothing to do with what you falsely allege is a “cover up.” I get that this is a way to juice your social media but let’s have a serious, fact based conversation about an important issue. Merry Xmas sir.

What a stunningly candid and unvarnished view from a major CEO grieving the loss of a colleague and friend and his family. Rarely see this kind of raw political opinion from a business leader but in this moment of tragedy PR is clearly not important. Worth reading this thread.

…The collateral damage of this irresponsible, dangerous, ill-conceived behavior? 63 Canadians needlessly lost their lives in the crossfire, including the family of one of my MLF colleagues (his wife + 11 year old son)! We are mourning and I am livid. Michael McCain.

Hey @RickNichollsCKL . Please join me on @CTV_PowerPlay tomorrow and explain what you mean. How would you like to “dismantle” the press? Which media exactly? By what law? As an elected official you are free to join me to explain this and how it jibes with Section 2 of the Charter.

Some dismiss these rallies as the strategy of momentum to try to dissuade others candidates—or question the number of membership sign ups these produce —all of which may be valid…but packing in 1000 people at a rally in Toronto is very rare and most candidates would beg for this

5 Things I hear most often from all sides re protests: 1: Failure of Police: Loss of faith in police to enforce the basic laws. 2: Anarchists: the Truck protestors have long abandoned their “vaccine mandate” message and have become lawless, conspiracy minded anarchists….1/4

“Love will make you do crazy things” does not justify hitting someone. In so many levels Smith was wrong even if the joke was tasteless—which it was. But so what? Comedians make jokes at the expense of rich famous people. It’s what they do. Doesn’t mean they get assaulted.

Just walked through the protest on Parl Hill tonight and I spoke to two guys carrying fuel containers past police. The Police Chief said protestors would not be allowed to bring fuel to tricks but these two said police aren’t bothering them at all. No enforcement. #cdnpoli
