‘I had to do something’: 21-year-old silences trucker protest honking in downtown Ottawa Class action lawsuit seeks damages for local community as horn noise dragged on into tenth day https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ottawa-truck-protest-honking-lawsuit-b2010537.html A 21-year-old resident ofOttawa’s Centretown is being hailed for her role in silencing the constant blaring and honking of truck horns by the protest convoy. Zexi Li is the lead plaintiff in a proposed C$9.8m class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of local residents after thenoisehad gone on for more than a week, terrorising the community. “This situation, quite frankly, really ruffled my feathers,” Ms Li toldCTV Morning Liveon Tuesday. “I really, really felt that no matter what, I had to do something. “If that something is to be a voice and be a face — and even be even a target — for people to understand what really is going on here, I was more than willing to do so.” On Monday an Ontario Superior Court judge granted a 10-day injunction putting a stop to the endless honking of air horns by protesters who have been parked in downtown Toronto for 11 days. The injunction has more teeth than any change in by-laws as anyone who breaks the order could be found in contempt and face stiff penalties. “It’s a big win, but it’s also a baby step,” Ms Li said. “We really did deserve some peace and we’re glad to have some, at least for the next 10 days.” Ms Li notes that she has not even experienced the worst of the noise from the protests, but still found it unbearable. Since stepping forward she has been abused online because of the lawsuit. Her co-counsel on the suit, Christine Johnson of Champ & Associates, described Ms Li as “very brave” and said that a lot of “vile hatred” had been directed at her client, though there had also been an outpouring of support from across the country. “It takes a lot of courage, as you can imagine, for a young woman to stand up on behalf of her neighbours … It’s been stressful. It’s been overwhelming and I think she felt as though it was the right thing to do.” Ms Li says she agrees with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who has not met with the convoy protest leaders. “I fully agree that these people cannot be negotiated with,” she said, noting that she was surprised the situation had reached the point where she was being asked how she thought the protest could be brought to an end. A follow-up hearing for the class action lawsuit is set for 16 February. It will be decided then if the injunction against the honking can be extended.
What a joke. They're changing the allowable size of gatherings and some other meaningless junk in 3 phases. No mention of vax passes or mask mandates. THEATER. I live in NS and it's lame as shit. 75% buy-in to the scamdemic narrative. Tools everywhere!
Uh, I think the message here is that the truckers have ignited a protest that taps into the general societal mood, but, yeah, sure - call it right wing money. LOL! The gaslighting must continue. March of Orwell and all that.
Heh. Krugman. So let's see now. He is arguing that- for example- unless people are black they should not be supporting civil rights movements. He might want to work on that logic or lack thereof a bit.
Heh, as most of us already knew - unlike German Field Marshal GWB - there is a lot more to consider in removing the truckers than just doing the slash and burn routine. Everything looks easier from his keyboard in the basement. For those who have to do it, some thinking and negotiation are required or to be considered anyway. Access to three US-Canada border crossings cut off by trucker protest blockades Resolving the standoff is a delicate operation. Forcibly removing the truckers could cause even more problems, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens told CNN on Thursday. "At the same time, going in and moving out 100 or 200 protesters -- well, we could probably do that. What we don't want to see happen is have 300 more show up tomorrow to replace the ones that were moved out. So, police are trying to negotiate." https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/10/americas/canada-trucker-protests-covid-thursday/index.html Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. The GWB of his time.
MORE TO COME!!! Lefty MP decides to treat truckers with dignity and thereby preserves his status as a real Canadian. Unlike all the fake Canadian clowns, and the fake American clowns egging the Canadian government on to put the boot on the truckers faces. Good on him. Members of Justin Trudeau's party turn on him for handling of trucker protest OTTAWA, ONTARIO — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's handling of the nationwide truckers' protest against vaccine mandates prompted a lawmaker from his own party to resign late Tuesday after accusing Trudeau of deliberately dividing people. Liberal Quebec MP Joel Lightbound, widely considered a calm and credible third-term Liberal, said he was speaking for many in his party who believe it's time to end the bad blood between Trudeau and the truckers. The prime minister, who was in quarantine last week after contracting COVID-19, has said he won't budge or meet with the truckers. The truckers say they aren't going anywhere until their demands are met. Lightbound said he had heard from constituents "wondering why just a year ago, we were all united in this together, and now that we have the most vaccinated population in the world, we've never been so divided." https://gazette.com/news/members-of...cle_ef0ba94a-bfcc-52fd-aee4-57d37388954f.html
We have heard a lot of fake howling out of Ottawa about the American right allegedly interfering by rooting for the truckers. I wonder if they will complain about this. I am going to guess, no.

Paul Krugman? That dude still has the balls to run his mouth after all the times he has been dead wrong. "It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear. Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never." Paul Krugman
