I was listening to CBC this morning while stuck in traffic and it was completely retarded.
Before the 7:30 news, they had the former Ottawa police chief on to talk about the police response. The host insinuated the police force was racist for breaking up the 2020 BLM protests but not the Freedom Convoy.
Regardless of "optics", this is a dumb take because anyone with a brain can see that the BLM protests did not have fucking 18 wheelers blocking roads, they were just people. Besides that, the specific incident the host was referring to (where 12 people were arrested and charged) was
this one.

Police suggested a ton of locations for them to relocate, but they refused, so police had to remove them.
This article states they were sitting at the intersection of Nicholas St and Laurier Ave, which is right next to the National Defense Head Quarters, Rideau Centre (shopping mall) and a campus of Ottawa U, I believe.

Moving on, the former police chief stated there were only about 250 people left. Does anyone have any updated numbers on this? I (obviously) can't make it downtown today so I can't see for myself, but I highly doubt people came all the way from BC just to leave within a few days.
After the 7:30 news (where they reiterated that there were only 250 people left), the host talks to a Stunning and Brave woman from
downtown Ottawa who stood in a truck's path.

The woman sounds daft and distracted, and even loses her train of thought at one point. She states she screamed "unladylike" things at the trucker,
whose wife in the passenger seat rolled down her window to laugh at her. Based and tradpilled. If anyone can draw this in the style of the cat poop incident, I would be eternally grateful.
She describes the incident as being "a moment of resistance", although she and her neighbors moved out of the truck's path eventually, so they did accomplished absolutely nothing except looking stupid.
After this clusterfuck, there's an interview with a Gatineau frenchie who celebrated his birthday by skating on the Rideau Canal. Very informative news as always, thanks CBC.
