'White Rose' - you utter wankers. Because defying the Nazi regime (and being tortured & executed for doing so) is exactly the same as posting shit stickers on lampposts encouraging people to put their own and others' health at risk.

 

[ddraig]

few of these white rose ones today, removed all those I saw

Ottawa residents tired of convoy trucks parking outside residential buildings and honking their horns all night have been chucking eggs - apparently getting frozen egg off windscreens etc. when it's - 10 is very difficult.

I find it really quite funny that a protest that had getting rid of PM Trudeau as a goal has successfully ousted the opposition leader instead.

Has no one thought of applying the brick to windsceen method of anti-social noise control? I believe it can be quite effective.

I've read reports on Reddit of residents chucking eggs at the convoy vehicles. In sub-freezing weather I bet those are fun to try and remove.

As many of the truckers are probably armed, perhaps not the best idea.

Hang on... has no one thought of applying the pump-action shotgun to windsceen method of anti-social noise control? I believe it can be quite effective.

This one is quite special.

Right-wing nutjobs and paranoid conspiracy nuts (oftentimes the same person these days) fucking love this kind of blatant fear-pornography. Sometimes they incorporate actual sexual fetishes into them too, such as humiliation and cuckoldry.

With another "trucker protest" - i.e some actual truckers joined by a larger number of anti-vax shitheads in pickup trucks - planned for Toronto Saturday, police have advised hospital workers that it could be unsafe to look like a hospital worker.

Trucker convoy drove into Ottawa to protest all mandates.....

Terry Fox is a Canadian hero who tried to run across Canada to raise awareness of cancer. One of his legs was amputated due to cancer. He died before finishing the trip.

Apologies for my ignorance, but who is this?

Terry Fox

Terry Fox - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Terrance Stanley Fox CC OD (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated due to cancer, he embarked on an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$800 million has been raised in his name as of April 2020.[1]

Fox was a distance runner and basketball player for his Port Coquitlam high school, now named after him, and Simon Fraser University. His right leg was amputated in 1977 after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, though he continued to run using an artificial leg. He also played wheelchair basketball in Vancouver, winning three national championships.

In 1980, he began the Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. He hoped to raise one dollar from each of Canada's 24 million people. He began with little fanfare from St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, in April and ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day. Fox had become a national star by the time he reached Ontario; he made numerous public appearances with businessmen, athletes, and politicians in his efforts to raise money. He was forced to end his run outside Thunder Bay when the cancer spread to his lungs. His hopes of overcoming the disease and completing his run ended when he died nine months later.

Fox was the youngest person named a Companion of the Order of Canada and won the 1980 Lou Marsh Award as the nation's top sportsman. He was named Canada's Newsmaker of the Year in both 1980 and 1981 by The Canadian Press. Considered a national hero, he has had many buildings, statues, roads, and parks named in his honour across the country.

In Toronto, a "Freedom Convoy" will be protesting this week-end.

The police are recommending healthcare workers avoid dressing in their healthcare uniforms while commuting, to avoid harassment

I might have left that one up. Let them waste the cops time. Nature will find a way.

Ontario no longer tests the public for covid.
Only a very select few are allowed a test.
Daycare workers are not one of those groups.

Wastewater is currently the only way to get some idea of what is happening in the province.

A post from facebook

It's fun how all the anti-mandate folks out there conveniently forget that we literally just had an election where this was a cornerstone issue of the campaign. The people spoke by voting (and not voting) in enough members from parties that support these mandates, and now that there has been follow through on those issues, the people who didn't get their way in our democratic process are now trying to hold downtown Ottawa hostage while they demand that the government overturn the will of the country as determined in the last election in favour of what they're saying.
This isn't a protest, it's a tantrum.
