The Conservatives went from measuring the drapes to hiding behind them.

- Restaurant I was in had the vote on a tv in the corner. To my surprise patrons burst into applause when the #EmergencyAct passed. (It being residents of Ottawa here who have gone through a month of hell perhaps it shouldn’t have been a surprise.)
- Today at least two Conservative MPs attended a protest where there were swastika flags. Think about that for a second.
- As hard as you may try to spin the convoy occupation there’s always a photo. This is not pride in our flag Ms. Lich.
Some of us were proud of our flag long before it became trendy. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 - When Ottawa police have to remind protesters that public urination and defecation violates by-laws, I think it’s pretty clear who they’re dealing with.
- They’re Not Coming Anymore’ — US Tourism Freefall Drains $29 Billion From Economy msn.com/en-us/news/us/…
- Traffic is brutal all around Ottawa. But hey, enjoy your motorcycle ride protesting freedoms you never lost.
- Just saw a protestor on Rosie Barton Live complaining there were no porta potties provided for them (seriously). 1. Didn’t Tamara Lich raise several million dollars? Maybe ask her where your bathrooms are 2. Lack of available bathrooms not an excuse to piss on the War Memorial
- A little reminder for those using the “bad apple” defence. The actual phrase is “one bad apple spoils the barrel.” Rot spreads.
- CBC News : Convoy leader Pat King back behind bars
- Maybe Meghan McCain doesn't like Justin Trudeau because he doesn't begin every sentence with "my father..."
- This has a Musk-ey smell to it: “A Conservative government would put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research.” Poilievre unveils Quebec platform montrealgazette.com/news/canada/ca…
- I’m not sure enough credit is being given to the people of Ottawa for not escalating the situation. Under the circumstances you couldn’t blame them if they responded in kind.
- The Speaker cancelled the sitting of the House of Commons today, which was agreed by all Parties. Kind of rich to see the Conservatives say the Emergencies Act was not necessary, while also agree to cancel the sitting because it was not safe to meet.
