the census is out! Canada had the most growth of any of the G7 from 2016 on. Lots of good news and interesting stuff although I haven't done a big dive yet. I find this stuff super fascinating.

If they do then it's because Fox News, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, etc willed them into existence. They've been all over this shit from the start. A huge amount of the funding for this shit came from America. I'm not blaming America for this but the influence of Fox News and American far-right culture is a huge factor in this stuff.

They are now refusing to leave unless the government is changed, and they are/were blockading the airport in Ottawa too. They are also blocking more border crossings. Let's see how weak the response will be to all this. It is absolutely crazy they are being allowed to do this.

I'm one of the most pro "right to protest" people out there. Even when it's for shit I don't agree with. If these fuckheads wanted to sit outside Parliment and protest without the bigrigs and the TRYING TO SET A BUILDING ON FIRE....(deep breath) then I'd be way less bothered. But what is going on is an insurrection.

This isn't going to end without violence IMO. Ford and Trudeau are both trying to make the other take responsibility in Ontario. The police on Ottawa have been feckless. The list of mistakes has been nearly endless. It is spreading like an infection. These fuckheads have been nothing but emboldened.



more and more of this happening

Ontario finally declares state of emergency. Doug Ford looks better than Trudeau here which is a low bar and it shouldn't be ignored how bad Ford has been up until now either. His press conference was something.


Now lets see what the follow through is like and if the feds get off their asses and do anything about the border now that Ford has done his part and the US is pressuring them.

The Ottawa Mayor is offering to meet with the protesters if they clear out from residential areas (meaning still in Parliament Hill) he claims he has an agreement with Lich. This is fucking insane. It's also come out (i'm away from the pc or i'd post links) that the Ottawa police still have not developed a plan on how to deal with this. Counter-protesters are out in force.

Meanwhile in other cities and at the border in Ontario the police are actually doing a decent job at clearing this shit out. The failure of the authorities in Ottawa on a municipal and federal level are going to have serious long-term consequences for this country.
