The greatest mistake is thinking this is about vaccines: mandates are a pretext for a well financed and well armed assault.

@ctvottawa Really? While protesters continue to harass people?

White House says Homeland Security chief urged Ottawa to use its powers to quash the blockade. https://t.co/VcwJ1rv2Dl

Mary Grant Seacole (1805–1881), learned caring and healing arts from her mother in Jamaica. Wanted to provide nursing care in the Crimean War with Florence Nightingale and was rejected. She still volunteered, providing care to wounded solders in the evenings. #BlackHistoryMonth

It’s an old playbook. Create chaos, remove validity from gov’t, create a demand for #authoritarian order, step in; OR force gov’t itself to use muscle, then yell Tyrant. Bingo, democracy doesn’t work! Enemies of it win. #blockades

[Evan Solomon @EvanLSolomon]

Senior source telling me tonight that US, Canada and Ontario are coordinating on dealing with blockades at borders and the province will move “aggressively tomorrow.” Will be a “big step” on “penalties” and possible enforcement action with Fed help. #cdnpoli

Just remember, the 🇨🇦 belongs to all of us. Don’t let it be weaponized in your minds or your hearts. Wear and fly it with pride. Here in New York and at the UN we see it in our offices and on our badges. We serve 🇨🇦, its values, traditions, hopes and dreams with pride.

Finally, I briefed the leaders of the opposition parties on the current situation and the latest developments. I stressed how important it is for all Members of Parliament, from every party, to denounce these illegal acts – and to call for an end to these blockades.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

I also spoke with @DrewDilkens, the Mayor of Windsor, about the illegal blockade of the Ambassador Bridge. We’re committed to helping the Mayor and the province get the situation under control – because it is causing real harm to workers and economies on both sides of the border.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

This evening, I had several meetings that were focused on the illegal blockades and occupations happening across the country. They’re harming the communities they’re taking place in – and they’re hurting jobs, businesses, and our country’s economy. More below ⤵️

@ctvottawa Stop ssying this is about Covid. This is sedition.

[Lisa Ashley @Lisaash76784223]

@CBCAlerts No accountability. Therefore complicit.

Ontario declines to take part in 'trilateral table' on the Ottawa blockade. Group, including feds, province, city was to meet today. Provincial source tells CBC the province thinks it won't accomplish anything, and that governments are already communicating.

[Lisa Ashley @Lisaash76784223]

@CBCQueensPark This not about Covid. This is about overthrowing the government.

[Regina Bateson @regina_bateson]

Last Sat, #Ottawa police said they’re badly outnumbered.

On Mon, Ottawa requested 1800 more staff — inc. 1600 officers.

Now it’s Thurs & that request still hasn’t been filled.

Tell me again how ON & the fed gov are doing everything possible to support local authorities?

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

Michigan governor calls on Canada to immediately re-open Ambassador Bridge. Democrat Gretchen Whitmer says closure 'unacceptable' for Michigan families, businesses. Says 'imperative that Canadian local, provincial and national governments de-escalate this economic blockade.'

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

We are aware of a concerted effort to flood our 911 and non-emergency policing reporting line. This endangers lives and is completely unacceptable. (1/2)

[Lisa Ashley @Lisaash76784223]

@ctvottawa This a no-brainer @ottawacity

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

Ottawa police warn protesters to leave immediately or face arrest. Police also say they have the power to size vehicles, which can be forfeited upon conviction. Comes after province approves city's request to dramatically include the cost of some fines. https://t.co/9Nzn9kSB8r

NEW: NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says Premier Doug Ford should strip protesting truckers in Ottawa of their commercial licenses and registration as "an incentive to pack up and go home".
