Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino announced late Thursday that the RCMP has approved all requests from the Ottawa Police Service to address the convoy that has taken over the city's downtown core.

In the statement, Mendicino said that convoy has "caused significant disruption" to local residents and that the people of Ottawa are "entitled to expect that the law is upheld and enforced by police and that public safety is maintained."

"I am able to confirm that the RCMP has approved all the additional resources that were requested, and they will be ready to assist the Ottawa Police Service, who are the police of jurisdiction," he tweeted.

"This request is in addition to RCMP resources and support already in place since the arrival of the convoy in Ottawa. It is important to underline that these are operational decisions taken by the police, independent of the government."

'No policing solution': Sloly

Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly suggested that a solution could lie outside the police force's hands.

"There may not be a policing solution to this demonstration," he said.

Speaking to reporters, Sloly elaborated to say that the police service is looking at all options on the table.

"From negotiation, through to court injunction, through to an enforced removal, all of the options that are available to us," he said.

[...]

Sloly again emphasized that, to date, there have been no serious injuries, no deaths, and no riots as a result of police enforcement. He stressed that there will be consequences for criminal activity, even if it isn't immediate.

[...]

Military aid an option, but not without risk, chief says

Sloly said all options are on the table, including the military.

[...]

"Military are war-fighters and peacemakers. They are not peacekeepers and they are not police officers. They have a different training and equipment and mindset when it comes to assessing threats, and they have a whole different toolset and training set to effect the mitigation if not the end of that threat," Sloly added. "Mixing them into the population in the downtown core, in a highly volatile situation without any much more than days in advance warning may mitigate some risks and may create and escalate a whole bunch of other risks."

Sloly also said that preventing protesters from driving into the city is not an option. He said it would violate the right to freedom of movement under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and even if it didn't, it would be nearly impossible and very damaging to effectively "seal off" the city.

[...]

'We actually respect the city of Ottawa'

Area residents have complained of sleepless night because of the noise from the downtown core since the weekend. But one member of the convoy said that the demonstrators are staying within Ottawa noise bylaws.

"The horns have not been honking all night long the past few nights. They actually stick within the Ottawa bylaw. There are no horns honking between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.," Jeff Gaudry, who came from Vernon, B.C., told CTV Morning Live on Wednesday.

"The weekend when everyone was here, there was quite a bit of a celebration going on," he added. "But the people that are here right now, we actually respect the city of Ottawa. The streets have never been cleaner."

In their news release, convoy leaders said they regret that Ottawa residents are "bearing this inconvenience."

""Our message to the citizens of Ottawa is one of empathy. We understand your frustration and genuinely wish there was another way for us to get our message across," organizer Chris Barber said in the release.

A GoFundMe campaign in support of the truckers reached more than $10 million raised on Wednesday.

As a cop, here's the unsayable truth on why we can't stop child sex grooming

The latest report by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in Britain is not good reading, telling us that both the police and council social services do not deal with it properly. It alleges these failings are often to avoid bad publicity.

Since the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandals around 20 years ago, there have been around 30 similarly outrageous cases of criminal gangs grooming, drugging and gang-raping teenage girls in England's towns and cities. This new report now tells us of another six local authorities and police areas where there is evidence that this abuse is still going on.

With nearly 40 years in policing, I have some idea why this evil treatment of vulnerable girls is still happening. There are some common threads to nearly all these cases.

Authorities in Argentina are advising drug consumers to throw away any cocaine they may have purchased in the last two days after at least 23 people died after ingesting adulterated cocaine in the Greater Buenos Aires area.

Eighty-four others are are currently under intensive care, of which 20 have been intubated, but authorities fear the death toll could increase as further victims are found to have died alone at home.

Dozens of the victims were saved after they were intubated in intensive care units usually reserved for Covid patients, Buenos Aires province health minister Nicolás Kreplak said on Thursday.

US competitive swimming's governing body has amended its eligibility criteria for transgender athletes after a college swimmer beat her competition by 38 seconds.

Participants in women's events will now have to have recorded low levels of testosterone for 36 months prior to competing, according to USA Swimming.

They will also be assessed by a three-person panel to determine whether "prior physical development of the athlete as a male" gives them an unfair advantage.

First EU country imposes compulsory Covid vaccination

vaccination pass Austria
© AP / Lisa LeutnerA visitor of a shopping mall shows the vaccination pass to a police officer in Vienna, Austria, on January 12, 2022.
On Thursday, Austria's compulsory vaccination bill has cleared its last parliamentary hurdle on its way to becoming a law. The parliament's upper house - the Federal Council - has voted 47 to 12 in favor of the legislation. The right-wing Freedom Party was virtually the only one opposing the initiative.

The bill is now expected to be signed by the Austrian president, Alexander Van der Bellen, and finally come into force in the next few days; possibly as early as on Saturday, according to the Austrian media. The legislation passed by the Lower House on January 20, was initially expected to come into force on February 1.

It would require every Austrian adult - except pregnant women or those exempt for medical reasons - to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Those refusing to do so might face financial penalties, with maximum fines amounting to €3,600 ($4,000).

However, little will change for Austrians until mid-March since all the citizens would be first informed about the measure through letters sent by the authorities. The Austrian law enforcement will be demanding vaccination certificates during routine checks starting from March 16.

Spotify CEO defends 'vital' Joe Rogan, 'NOT in business of dictating discourse'

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told employees the company 'wouldn't be where it is today' if it hadn't moved into podcasts like the one hosted by Joe Rogan.
Spotify boss Daniel Ek pushed back at employees demanding the ouster of Joe Rogan, saying the controversial podcaster is vital to the platform's future and it's not the company's place to 'dictate the discourse' of his show.

'There are many things that Joe Rogan says that I strongly disagree with and find very offensive,' Chief Executive Daniel Ek said at a company town hall on Wednesday, according to a transcript published by The Verge.

But 'if we want even a shot at achieving our bold ambitions, it will mean having content on Spotify that many of us may not be proud to be associated with.'

Jon Stewart sides with Joe Rogan as more artists leave Spotify: 'This overreaction is a mistake'

Jon Stewart has sided with Joe Rogan after several artists left Spotify in protest over Rogan's podcast, which is hosted by the streaming platform.

Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Roxane Gay, and Mary Trump have all pulled their songs and podcasts from the service, as have Young's former bandmates David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash.

The move came in response to Spotify's decision to keep airing Rogan's podcast despite the fact that Rogan has shared Covid misinformation on the programme.

Comment: Even though Stewart is thoroughly inured in the mainstream narrative, at least he's sensible enough to recognize that censorship is the wrong way to go. He's anti-cancel culture and deplatforming and argues that the best strategy is to make better arguments and that you have to engage - "I will never give up on engagement".

BTW, Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro has also come out on the side of Rogan. From Digital Journal:
"I'm not sure what @joerogan thinks about me or about my government, but it doesn't matter. If freedom of speech means anything, it means that people should be free to say what they think, no matter if they agree or disagree with us," Bolsonaro wrote.

"Stand your ground! Hugs from Brazil."

Attack of the Transphobic Putin-Nazi Truckers!

trucks
They rolled up on Ottawa's Parliament Hill like one of the plagues in the Book of Revelations, honking their infernal air horns, the grills of their tractors grinning demonically, the sides of their dry vans painted with blasphemies like "FREEDOM TO CHOOSE," "MANDATE FREEDOM," "NO VACCINE MANDATES," and "UNITED AGAINST TYRANNY."

Yes, that's right, New Normal Canada has been invaded and now is under siege by hordes of transphobic Putin-Nazi truckers, racist homophobes, anti-Semitic Islamaphobes, and other members of the working classes!

According to the corporate media, these racist, Russia-backed, working-class berserkers are running amok through the streets of Ottawa, waving giant "swastika flags," defecating on war memorials, sacking multi-million-dollar "soup kitchens," and eating the food right out of homeless people's mouths. Rumor has it, a kill-squad of truckers has been prowling the postnatal wards of hospitals, looking for Kuwaiti babies to yank out of their incubators.

I know, this is Canada, so that sounds a little dubious, but this has all been thoroughly fact-checked by the fact checkers at the New Normal Ministry of Truth ... you know, the ones that fact-checked Russiagate, and the Attempted Putin-Nazi Insurrection of January 6 at the US Capitol, and the safety and effectiveness of the Covid "vaccines," and the masks, and the inflated Covid statistics, and the rest of the official Covid narrative.

Or just take it from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...

CDC Admits Natural Immunity Trumps Vaccine Immunity — 5 Months After Touting Vaccines as Superior

David Charbonneau, Ph.D.

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 08:05 UTC
DNA Covid Illustration
Five months after issuing a statement that vaccine immunity protects against COVID better than natural immunity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a report showing the opposite is true, at least when it comes to the Delta variant.

A Jan. 19 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed natural immunity against COVID was at least three times as effective as vaccination alone at preventing people from becoming infected with the Delta variant.

Overall, the study showed natural immunity outperformed vaccine immunity when it came to preventing infection and hospitalization from Delta.

The results contradicted a previous CDC study, published in August 2021, which concluded vaccination was better than natural immunity. The CDC issued a media statement about the August study, which was widely covered by mainstream press.

When a much larger Israeli study was published two weeks later, finding the opposite, the CDC did not offer any comment or analysis on the new data.
"The CDC is now finally revising its position five months later," said Dr. Madhava Setty, senior science editor for The Defender. "This is a major problem with the CDC and its data. They have been opaque and late to the game from the beginning."

Comment: So now they admit that the vaccines are not only ineffective but also dangerous because they are interfering with the natural immunity, they cause myocarditis and pericarditis which can represent a life threatening condition, and also increase the chances of hospitalisations from Covid and even death.

Will somebody finally ask out loud what is the real purpose of the massive and aggressive vaccination campaign worldwide?

'Progressive' news outlet demands that Trudeau forcefully CRACK DOWN on working-class freedom protesters

A progressive, Canadian news outlet has stated outright that the Armed Forces should blockade the capital city of Ottawa, "give insurrectionists 24 hours to leave," and force them out of the city under penalty of arrest.

"The first thing that needs to happen," wrote The Tyee's David Climenhaga, "is for the federal government to bring an immediate halt to the insurrection and occupation of Ottawa. That can start with the establishment of a perimeter around the downtown with all supplies of diesel fuel to vehicles inside that ring blocked immediately."

After that, he writes, "Insurrectionists should be given 24 hours to leave the national capital and return to their homes, after which they will be forcibly removed, and their vehicles impounded. Since the police admit they are incapable of doing the job alone, the Armed Forces should be brought in to assist."

Comment:


The Tyee displays the typical woke inability to 'read the room'. While it's entertaining to watch progressives sliding further into insanity, it doesn't bode well for society's future in general.

But, in the meantime:
