Update on Ottawa Demonstrations: The Ottawa Police Service and its City and policing partners took multiple measures with protests and convoys in the Ottawa area today. #ottawa #ottnews #otttraffic

Ottawa Police Services Board member attended 'Freedom Convoy' protest https://t.co/YI4edHi7g8

All three provincial appointees to the @ottawapolice service board have resigned, according to the Solicitor-General's office. This after @QPbriefing reported that member Robert Swaita attended the truck protest in Ottawa. This is a mess. #OttNews

@thomasjuneau It's also remarkable that a government agency is using Twitter as an intelligence dissemination tool. This allows any Ukrainian with a Twitter account to be able to get accurate intelligence which they can use to mobilize.

“You wake up in a totally new reality and find out the world is no longer the safe place you imagined. And it’s hard to believe that it’s actually our neighbor doing this.”

In an emotional interview, one Ukrainian woman tells @clarissaward that the world has changed overnight.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

It’s *fascinating* how quickly popular pro-convoy Telegram chats have flipped to posting outright support for Putin — or in less severe cases, encouraging Canada to stay out of Ukraine.

I wonder why that is? 🤔

No hot tubs. No DJ. No white supremacist flags. Just very brave people protesting actual tyranny.

Audio from Snake Island, Black Sea:

Russians: This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you’ll be bombed.

Ukrainians: Russian warship, go fuck yourself.

They were all killed https://t.co/uNqh5b9L8C

BREAKING: Trudeau set to revoke Emergencies Act — this comes 10 days after it was enacted, after House confirmed but Senate still deliberating. I’m still off until tomorrow but latest updates will be here: https://t.co/2DyLKGFQbN @CTVNews #cdnpoli

Interesting line from Conservative MP @Eric_Melillo - "We are seeing people accusing the Prime Minister of being a communist dictator, which is ridiculous and untrue. We are seeing hate and polarization all across this chamber and across this country" 1/2 #cdnpoli

[City of Ottawa @ottawacity]

PLEASE NOTE: if you have received a text message from someone posing as The City of Ottawa regarding compensation for the convoy protests, do not reply. This is a scam. The City will never communicate about financial information through text message.

I thought this but I was wrong, at least for biz w/ storefronts. I realized the hard way that when they took the job, my staff didn't consent to facing the inevitable range of responses to my public opinions and I couldn't protect them. Look for fair employment practices instead.

Residents who may have vehicles covered in snow and parked an streets between Metcalf and Bay, and Albert and Gloucester- Please move them.
Police operation is on the way to remove all vehicles parked on those streets. #ottnews #otttraffic

Is the @nytimes drunk? Where are the guns? Look, Ottawa police have not covered themselves in glory here but what they are doing is not "at gunpoint". Who is behind the wheel at NYT Canada?
