  1. Majority of Canadians want COVID restrictions lifted: Poll


    A majority of Canadians now say it is time to end COVID restrictions, according to an Angus Reid poll, a sharp increase from when the same question was asked in early January.

    The latest poll, taken Jan. 27-28, found 54% want restrictions to be lifted compared to just 39% who wanted restrictions lifted when the same question was asked two weeks earlier.

  3. Heh, pretty rich. Just to translate a little for the Americans or the fake canadians here, Tofino is a beach/surfing/vacation town on Vancouver Island in BC, so that is what the reference is. Hitler is parodying Justin Trudeau and saying that he doesnt know how he will make it to Tofino with all this going on.

    Frigging commie loser.

  4. As discussed, many of these dems governors have suddenly decided to get very flexible, very fast with this covid restriction horseshiite.

    Here is yet another. MORE TO COME. MANY MORE.'

    "As coronavirus case rates and hospitalizations continue to plummet, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is expected to unveil a plan Wednesday to drop the state’s indoor mask mandate, sources tell NBC 5’s Mary Ann Ahern."

    I have not seen Rear Ender show up to lecture us on Canadian values as is his habit. I sure hope he has not succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning there in Toronto because I am pretty sure he is out there lecturing all the truckers on what Canadian values are- even though he is a fake Chinadan.

    Watch out for that carbon monoxide, Rear Ender. Wear your mask. Lookin out for you. giggle.

    Almost nobody in Canada gives a shit about these trucker morons. They are like you really useless shits who think they have something important to say. When you call Trudeau a "commie" you again reveal your ignorant, bigoted self in flying colours. The "Fake Canadian" theme got old years ago yet you keep trotting it out not realizing how ignorant it is.

    I have to laugh that all these people went great distances to protest whatever the fuck they think they are protesting. They even put up 5 bouncy castles in Ottawa for the kids which is in a word hilarious shows the depth of stupidity going on.

    Every so often you reveal your racist beliefs. It says a lot about you and your parents. Throw in the way you talk about women on here I doubt any woman would stick with you very long eventually you'd reveal yourself ( unless they have severe self esteem issues ).

    Of course we have this clown, Benjamin Dichter, one of the protest organizers who claimed he slipped on the ice in Ottawa and broke his ankle. Naturally he claims he is going to sue the city. And what is the root cause of roads and sidewalks not being cleared -- well it is his trucker protest which is blocking equipment and salt supplies from clearing the snow and ice.

    Trucker protest organizer slips on icy sidewalk, breaks ankle bones, criticizes Ottawa for unsafe conditions
    "I'm going to have reconstructive surgery in 10 days. So perhaps we should return the favour by suing Mayor Watson and the city of Ottawa because I'm not the only one who has had this experience."

    One of the organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” slipped on an icy sidewalk and broke multiple ankle bones, according to a recent social media post in which he blames Ottawa’s Mayor Jim Watson for his injury.

    Benjamin Dichter, who has acted as a spokesperson for the convoy and was one of the figures behind its GoFundMe campaign before it was shut down by the crowdfunding site, appeared in a TikTok video posted by convoy participant David Alderton.

    Dichter was among those named in a lawsuit filed against the protesters by an Ottawa resident who alleges the participants have caused emotional and mental distress to residents in the area and is seeking $9.8 million in damages.

    In the TikTok video, Alderton introduced Dichter and asked him how he broke his leg.

    “Mayor Watson … doesn’t like to salt his streets,” Dichter replied. He stood with the assistance of crutches inside what appeared to be a downtown Ottawa hotel.

    “No, he doesn’t,” agreed Alderton. “I’ve fallen three times.”

    “I slipped,” Dichter continued, “and I just landed the wrong way and I broke both my ankle bones. I’m going to have reconstructive surgery in 10 days. So perhaps we should return the favour by suing Mayor Watson and the city of Ottawa because I’m not the only one who has had this experience.”

    The “Freedom Convoy,” whose participants have been parked throughout Ottawa’s downtown core for 12 days as of Tuesday, has ensnarled traffic and prompted the city to declare a state of emergency.

    Dichter said in the video that his fall happened on a sidewalk on city property, adjacent to a hotel.

    “We’re not even on these sidewalks or blocking them,” Alderton commented. “They could have easily done this (salt the sidewalks) and everyone would be safe. You’re not the only person who’s done this and hurt themselves walking around on these sidewalks and streets and it’s not even the sidewalks we’re on, it’s just regular streets that the cops got blocked off.”

    “Let’s teach this mayor who thinks he’s all-powerful what happens when you don’t do your job and you don’t take care of your city,” Alderton added.

    The city was treating sidewalks, according to Quentin Levesque, acting director of roads and parking services, but the protests were making such measures difficult in some areas.

    “As the situation with the demonstration is very fluid, the city continues to implement contingencies and focus on pedestrian and emergency access routes through the area, clearing and treating sidewalks and facilitating the safe movement of emergency vehicles, where possible,” Levesque said in a statement. “Due to the demonstration, however, the city has encountered operational constraints which have made accessing the areas in close proximity to the Parliamentary precinct difficult.”

    In Ontario, municipalities are required to keep sidewalks in a reasonable state of repair under the Municipal Act, but they are only liable for injuries on slippery sidewalks if they are found guilty of “gross negligence,” which is characterized as a reckless disregard for safety or serious carelessness which a municipality ought to have known would result in injury.

    In the past week, Ottawa has received snow, rain and freezing rain and temperatures have swung from well below zero degrees celsius to hovering near freezing. Protesters in the downtown core have laid down sand on some sidewalks near Parliament Hill, where most of the occupying trucks are parked.

    In another post, Alderton reported suffering a fall himself. “I was just bringing some stuff up here from where we were getting it,” Alderton said in the video, which appeared to be filmed inside the cab of his truck. “Walked right by the police, they didn’t bother us, didn’t say a word, but we were coming down the sidewalks where there are trucks in the middle but nobody blocking the sidewalks and fell on the ice. Fell hard. … I’m sitting here pretty hurt.”

    A police officer helped Alderton off the ground, he said. “Even though all these other officers are trying to hurt us and trying to do all this bad stuff, there’s still some of them that if you fall they’ll still pick you back up and dust you off.”
