Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

For the record, this from Friday's news conference with Ontario's Premier et. al. ...
On February 11, 2022, the Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Justice, Geoffrey B. Morawetz, made an order prohibiting impeding or blocking access to the Ambassador Bridge, an international bridge in Windsor, Ontario connecting Canada to the United States. The order is binding on all persons who have notice of it. It takes effect at 7:00pm, February 11, 2022, and remains in effect for ten days.

The order was granted at the request of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association and with the support of the Corporation of the City of Windsor. The Attorney General of Ontario, Doug Downey, intervened in the court case and expressed his support for the granting of the order.

The order authorizes the police to use powers of arrest and seizure to enforce it, but specifies that the police retain discretion as to the timing and manner of enforcement.
Court order attached.

The protest organizers may now be learning a lesson about virtue signalling without outside input/involvement ....
As the Freedom Convoy continues to lockdown Parliament Hill and Ottawa's downtown core, some lead organizers are now choosing to bring more awareness to the Every Child Matters campaign, while calling for student walkouts to end mask mandates and COVID-19 restrictions in schools.

“Orange Shirt Day tomorrow. We’re doing Every Child Matters tomorrow, a moment of silence at (Parliament Hill) and everywhere else for the kids, a worldwide walkout for the kids, let’s go kids. Let’s go. Get those masks off. You don’t need them,” one of the convoy's organizers said Thursday in a video that was livestreamed on Facebook.

(...)

"Every Child Matters" is a slogan used to support Orange Shirt Day, which Phyllis Webstad founded in 2013 to raise awareness of the residential school system. At six years old, Webstad attended her first day of school at St. Joseph’s Mission where her brand-new favourite orange shirt she got from her family was taken away and never returned.

Orange Shirt Day is commemorated on Sept. 30. The same date was selected for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, largely because of Webstad's work.

On Friday, Webstad was quick to speak up in opposition to the protesters' proclamation that Friday would be an additional Orange Shirt Day.

“Orange Shirt Day with the phrase 'Every Child Matters' is a cause focusing the importance of truth and reconciliation. With this in mind, the Orange Shirt Society does not endorse the recent announcement of Orange Shirt Day occurring on Feb. 11 by protest organizers,” Webstad told CTV News in a statement ...

Amazing what comes out of the woodwork when you want to issue an arrest warrant for the PM and GG, isn't it??

Imagine what the protest would be if

a) It was not organized by nutters

b) It wasn't blaring horns at all hours

c) It kept on a simple message of reducing restrictions and public health measures

d) It went the extra mile to keep the extremists out of it, or at least feeling extremely unwelcome

e) It didn't have a bunch of F**k Trudeau signs and the like.

Could have been something.
 
Windsor bridge is seeing an increased police presence, empty busses have been moved in. If I were a betting man I would guess for arrests.

That was never going to happen. Just like the nutters on the left everyone wants to join the bandwagon and get their messages and manifestos out.

I’m pretty sure he tried to issue an arrest for either the Catholic Church or the Protestant Church. He hammered an arrest warrant to local church door lol.

Yeah, the ones who tend to organize these things tend to be those who are drinking their own koolaid on the fringes.

Led public protests and exorcisms at the Vatican, 2009, 2010 ...
 
INITIAL REPORTS (usual breaking news caveats attached) that police have started clearing the bridge - this from Windsor Police issued yesterday ....
The Windsor Police Service wants to make demonstrators clearly aware that it is a criminal offence to obstruct, interrupt or interfere with the lawful use, enjoyment, or operation of property. The offence itself is known as mischief to property.

The unlawful act of blocking streets at and near the Ambassador Bridge is resulting in people being denied the lawful use, enjoyment and operation of their property and causing businesses to close down.

We are providing notice that anyone blocking streets or assisting others in the blocking of streets may be committing a criminal offence and must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you may face charges. You could be arrested if you are a party to the offence or assisting others in the direct or indirect commission of this offence.

Vehicles or other property related to an offence may be seized. Once a vehicle is seized, it may be detained and, following a conviction, possibly forfeited.

Charges and/or convictions related to the unlawful activity associated with the demonstration may lead to denial in crossing the USA border.

-A paralyzed down town core for 3+ weeks.
-A dumbfounded government that looks incapable of handling this.
-Police with a black eye over how its handled so far (perhaps unfair ridicule).
-Ability to raise $10M in a week.
-Copy cat protests across the country including shutting down an international trade routes (another one started an hour ago in Cornwall, only one lane open).
-Copy cat protests in other countries where the Canadian flag is being used as an icon for anti mandates.
-The need to call in police from the other side of the country.


If people would have taken this more seriously this could have been summed up before it started, or mitigated a lot of damage and drama.
