The disruption that erupted in Ottawa after people gathered to protest Canada's vaccine mandate for truckers has become a "nationwide insurrection," the chair of the city's police board said.

The protestors are "terrorizing" and "threatening" the city's residents, Councillor Diane Deans said Saturday at an emergency meeting of the board.

"Our city is under siege," she said.

Canadian truckers first gathered January 28 in Ottawa for a so-called "Freedom Convoy" protest against the country's vaccine mandate. Since January 15, Canada has required US truckers to present proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 to cross the border. Unvaccinated Canadian truckers who drive to the US have to quarantine and get tested on their return. The US imposed a similar mandate on January 22.

But the Ottawa protest has snowballed into a much broader demonstration, attracting people who want to vent their opposition to Canadian government measures to tackle the pandemic, which they see as government overreach.

Protestors have let off fireworks and blocked roads, while police said they have opened a criminal investigation after a war memorial was desecrated during the protests. Some drivers have driven on the wrong side of the road, on the sidewalk, and through no-truck routes, leading to the city's police issuing hundreds of tickets.

If the majority of the Canadian population supports it, it is the government that is conducting an insurrection against the consent of the governed.

Strangely, no terrorized or threatened residents could be found for comment.

Everything is an insurrection now. “Biden is a white house resident, put there by election fraud.” See there... I just did it... insurrection. They have made it so easy now - from home - virtual insurrection.

Some governments deserve an insurrection.

They are not legitimate governments as they are not operating in accordance with the constitutions that give them power, therefore deserve to be risen up against.

Internal production of Yahoo news. It’s the usual pap, claiming that false flag incidents have escalated this into mad anarchy when any observer on the street can attest that it isn’t the case. That warm feeling down our collective back - that isn’t rain.

I think “insurrection” means “peaceful and persuasive protest from normal citizens who must now be killed to make way for our progressive reich”

The only crimes are the government attempting to steal GoFundMe money and fuel cans.

These *officials* are blatantly lying about any violence, terrorizing, threats or insurrection talk.

The GOVT are the ones doing these things!

Yeah, a “threatening” movement with bounce castles for kids, and people playing hockey in the streets. Terrifying, that is.

I watched the Ottawa city council meeting a couple of days ago, the Chief of Police repeatedly said, “it’s a nationwide insurrection based on madness!!” Madness I tell, madness!!

Gee, and here I always thought an insurrection was a violent attempt at overthrowing a government.

So anytime anybody protests, it’s an insurrection now.

For the benefit of the Quebecois, that needs to be available in French. ;)

So I clicked on the link that said “Desecrated war memorial” but there was nothing about a war memorial. Is there a link to explain what that means?

They don't want to overthrow the government, they just want one policy reversed.

It's only in the minds of fascist tyrants that any dissent is insurrection. This is why Trudeau believes that giving in is weakness; because he is weak by nature and needs this to show that he's a strongman.

Literally.
