O Kanada!

[black_jotka]

Tysiące ludzi i setki ciężarówek zablokowały w sobotę centrum Ottawy, stolicy Kanady w głośnym, ale pokojowym proteście — informuje agencja AFP. Protest początkowo wymierzony był w obowiązkowe szczepienia przeciwko COVID-19 dla kierowców ciężarówek, ale przerodził się w szerszy ruch sprzeciwiający się restrykcjom epidemicznym. Ze względów bezpieczeństwa Trudeau i jego rodzina zostali w sobotę przeniesieni z domu w centrum Ottawy do nieujawnionego miejsca.

OTTAWA, Ontario — Prawnik z klubu Justina Trudeau oskarża premiera o dzielenie i piętnowanie Kanadyjczyków poprzez upolitycznienie nakazów szczepień i ograniczeń Covid-19.

Joël Lightbound przedstawił oszałamiającą, zjadliwą ocenę we wtorek w Ottawie z wielkimi platformami tak zwanego konwoju wolności tuż za drzwiami. Protesty w konwojach przeciwko środkom Covida przyciągnęły uwagę świata i sparaliżowały stolicę Kanady na ponad tydzień

Protestujący twierdzą, że decyzje premiera doprowadziły do bankructwa ich rodzin i są pogwałceniem Karty Praw i Wolności Człowieka. Do protestu kierowców tirów przyłączyła się część rolników i rdzennych mieszkańców Kanady.

— Nie chodzi tylko o zastrzyki, jak wszyscy myślą – powiedział Don Finlayson, który prowadzi firmę budowlaną. – Jesteśmy tu dla rdzennych mieszkańców, którzy nie mają świeżej wody. Jesteśmy po to, aby dzieci nie nosiły maseczek przez 10 godzin dziennie.

Trump popiera protestujących

W Ottawie od kilku dni panują ekstremalne mrozy. Premier Saskatchewan Scott Moe wydał oświadczenie wspierające protestujących z Freedom Convoy 2022 w ich postulacie zakończenia transgranicznej polityki szczepień i obostrzeń pandemicznych.

Protest kierowców ciężarówek w Ottawie poparł też były prezydent USA Donald Trump. Pochwalił on uczestników konwoju za „robienie więcej w obronie amerykańskiej wolności, niż większość naszych przywódców”.

"Konwój Wolności" na początku był reakcją na decyzję rządu federalnego o nałożeniu obowiązku szczepienia przeciw COVID-19 dla kanadyjskich kierowców ciężarówek transgranicznych. Stawia ona wymóg, aby ci, którzy nie są zaszczepieni, zostali poddani kwarantannie po powrocie do Kanady. Stany Zjednoczone nałożyły podobny obowiązek, a nieszczepieni tirowcy również muszą poddać się kwarantannie podczas wjazdu do kraju

Justin Trudeau poinformował w poniedziałek, że otrzymał dodatni wynik testu w kierunku zakażenia koronawirusem. Przekazał ponadto, że zakażonych jest też dwoje z jego dzieci. Premier Kanady zapowiedział, że będzie się izolował, zgodnie z zaleceniami lekarzy.

Multiple Canadian groups are coordinating efforts to deliver fuel, food, and other resources to the "Freedom Convoy" of truckers lined around the nation’s capital this week, blocking traffic around Parliament Hill to protest the federal government’s vaccine mandate.

Ottawa police chief says cops 'likely' can't end anti-mandate protests

Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly said police likely can't end the anti-mandate protests that have taken over Canada's capital since this weekend.

“We are now aware of a significant element from the United States that have been involved in the funding, the organizing and the demonstrating. They have converged on our city and there are plans for more to come,” Sloly said.

“There is likely no policing solution to this,” Sloly said.

Canada's prime minister has said sending in troops to clear protesters from the nation's capital is "not in the cards right now".
The city's police chief had earlier refused to rule out military intervention to remove demonstrators.
Thousands arrived in the city last weekend to protest vaccine mandates, gridlocking downtown Ottawa.
Police Chief Peter Sloly warned that protests could grow again this weekend

There may not be a policing solution" to resolve the impasse, he said on Wednesday.
Though many protesters have left over the course of the week, some 250 remain who are "a highly determined and highly volatile group of unlawful individuals", Chief Sloly has said.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his government had received no formal request for military assistance to remove this core group of protesters who have been camped out in and around parliament.
"One has to be very, very cautious before deploying military in situations engaging Canadians," he added, saying it's not something to "enter into lightly".
Mr Trudeau has told the protesters to "go home" - a sentiment echoed by city officials. The prime minister has refused to meet the truckers.
Ottawa residents have also expressed frustration over the demonstrations, complaining of constant noise, an impact on local businesses and public services, and unruly and aggressive behaviour.
Police have begun ticketing protesters, writing 30 traffic tickets for infractions like excessive noise for horn honking and disobeying street signs.
On Thursday, protesters were seen building a wooden structure in Ottawa, and gathering supplies of fuel such as propane.
Organisers representing the so-called Freedom Convoy said they don't plan to remain in Ottawa "one day longer than necessary", but that their departure is conditional on all Covid-19 mandates being lifted nationwide.
"We are here out of love for our families, our communities and our nation," said organiser Tamara Lich during a press conference on Thursday.
"These past two years, the Covid mandates have divided us," she added, saying that the "movement" grew because "common people are tired of the mandates and restrictions in their lives that now seem to be doing more harm than good".

A fundraiser in support of the rally that had raised over C$10m ($7.9m; £5.8m) - with about C$1m released so far to organisers - was recently paused for review by GoFundMe.
A lawyer working with convoy organisers said they welcome the "heightened diligence" by the online fundraiser and are currently refining the process for truckers and others who have been involved in the protest to be reimbursed for their costs.
GoFundMe will also be called to testify before a parliamentary committee to explain safeguards put in place around donations and spending related to the convoy fundraiser.
In the province of Alberta, a second anti-vaccine mandate blockade continues to disrupt the flow of traffic across the border.
The Freedom Convoy began in response to a federal vaccine mandate imposed by the Canadian government on 15 January that requires unvaccinated truckers returning from across the US border to quarantine.
But it has spurred wider calls for a repeal of other Covid-19 restrictions supporters view as government overreach.

GoFundMe says it will withhold millions of dollars raised for Canadian truckers protesting against vaccine mandates, citing police reports of violence.
The Freedom Convoy has been rallying since last weekend, and more protests are expected in Toronto and Ottawa.
In a statement, the crowdfunding website said it would withhold the donations already made, and refund donors who fill out a request form.
Another online platform has offered to take donations for the convoy instead

[black_jotka]

Of the thousands who joined the truckers' protest, three people have so far been arrested: one for carrying a weapon, one charged with mischief under $5,000, and another with uttering threats on social media.
Donations to the GoFundMe page "Freedom Convoy 2022" had reached C$10m ($7.9m; £5.8m), with about C$1m released so far to organisers.
In a statement on Friday, GoFundMe said the demonstrations were peaceful when the fundraiser first started, but had since violated their terms of service prohibiting the promotion of violence and harassment.
"We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity," GoFundMe said.
The $1m that has already been released will only go to participants who went to Ottawa to peacefully protest, said GoFundMe.
"No further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers - we will work with organisers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities verified by GoFundMe," its statement added.
Another online fundraising platform, GiveSendGo, announced it would accept donations for the convoy shortly after GoFundMe backed out.
In response to objections from Ottawa residents, organisers of the Freedom Convoy have promised to protest peacefully and respect the law, but also to "stay as long as it takes".
"We understand your frustration and genuinely wish there was another way for us to get our message across," convoy organiser Chris Barber said this week.
"The responsibility for your inconvenience lies squarely on the shoulders of politicians who prefer to vilify and call us names rather than engage in respectful, serious dialogue."
The demonstrators are in Ottawa "for the love of our families, our communities and our nation", said Tamara Lich, another organiser.
Ms Lich said she is offended by the portrayal of protesters as "racists, misogynists and even terrorists".
She said they are "average peace-loving and law-abiding citizens from all walks of life who are fed up with being disrespected and bullied by our government".
Police have said they are concerned about how the convoy has attracted extremist rhetoric.
Ottawans have been sharing their concerns with the BBC.
Complaints range from idling trucks that impede traffic and makeshift wooden structures in city parks to lost income and fears of harassment and even violence.
Stuart, a chef at a downtown restaurant, told the BBC his work had been disrupted because food and alcohol deliveries could not make it past the blockade of trucks and police cordons.
He said: "I have no doubt that the vast majority are peaceful. But, as was seen last year with protests in the US, a small minority of people with bad intentions can very easily and quickly escalate the situation."
Monica Chohan, an Indian-Canadian lawyer living in central Ottawa, said: "There were men walking in groups in front of our house with 'Make Canada Great Again' hats. I just started to feel like I don't want to go and put myself out there. There's a feeling of unease."

There is "a sense of lack of safety for anyone who is not Caucasian, straight or on board with the protests", said Jessica Seguin, who fears for her child, who identifies as transgender.
One Ottawa citizen has filed a lawsuit claiming up to C$10m in damages against the organisers of the trucker convoy for the "excruciatingly loud" honking of horns, reports Global News.
A recent opinion poll by Abacus Data found 68% of Canadians felt they had "very little in common" with the protesters, while 32% said they "had a lot in common" with the truckers.
On Friday Ottawa police announced a new "surge and contain" strategy. Some 150 more officers will deploy to the city centre and a 'red zone' of police barricades is to expand.
Police also say they will do more to proactively investigate and charge anyone found violating the law.
Authorities are also expecting the protesters to be met by an estimated 1,000 counter-demonstrators.
On Friday, police chief Peter Sloly called the situation "unacceptable" and said the force is "absolutely committed to bringing this demonstration to an end".
"I take great empathy with those that have endured unacceptable violations of their ability to live, raise their family [and] conduct business in this city," he said.

Ottawa, Ontario – Canadian truckers in the "Freedom Convoy" said they were amazed at the outpouring of support from their fellow citizens.


The "Freedom Convoy" is composed of truckers and other protesters who are demanding the Canadian government end federal COVID-19 mandates including vaccine requirements for cross-border travel.

"There's people knocking on my door every five minutes wanting to give," Travis, a trucker from New Brunswick, told Fox News. "There has been nothing but caring, sharing and giving."

Kierowcy tirów zrzeszeni w Konwoju Wolności już drugi tydzień protestują w Kanadzie. Konwój pierwotnie walczył o zniesienie nakazu szczepień dla kierowców transgranicznych ciężarówek. Teraz przerodził się w ruch społeczny przeciwstawiający się ingerencji państwa w życie prywatne.
Organizatorzy konwoju potwierdzili, że nie ruszą się z Ottawy, dopóki wszystkie obostrzenia pandemiczne nie zostaną zniesione. Żądają też dymisji premiera Justina Trudeau, który łamie, ich zdaniem, obywatelskie prawo do demonstracji, nazywając ich "krajowymi terrorystami".

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon as approximately 500 trucks and vehicles with the "Freedom Convoy" continue to linger in the streets of the Canadian capital to protest vaccine mandates.
