and honestly, if they can stop the honking they don't need to do anything else.

the city will adjust to the traffic limitations just like with any construction.

just let them sit there like jackasses for as long as they want.

You might have something there but they need to also prevent them from continuously idling their vehicles. The air pollution is becoming a real health issue. Maybe then authorities could work on the other serious situation and get the blockade of the bridges cleared.

Seriously it really seems like no level of government (municipal election, provincial or federal). Has a clue or the will to tackle the present situation.

Been to Oshawa any time in the last 5 years? It's already gone and it has more to do with busting unions than "market conditions".

The city has moved on to other things, particularly health care and education. I think Oshawa is a lot better now than it was when it was a blue collar mecca. Anyway, the GM truck plant is reopening.

This is really the whole problem. Like, one of the Minister of Transport's tweets today was literally "To the occupiers of the Ottawa airport: this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. It is time to go home!". Seriously, wtf? After all that's been happening the last 2 weeks, what the hell is that even trying to do?

I don't know if it's a jurisdiction thing, where nobody alone can act. Or if it's a case where the police are too much in favour of the ideas that they don't want to "risk things getting violent", but between all of this, it's gone on long enough. And especially blockading the Windsor Bridge, that's bringing in an international flavour to this that absolutely should have been shutdown immediately, not still going on 4 days later.

Well you know it would've been done had indigenous people tried that.;)
 
Im POSITIVE there’s legislation defining peace officer as “any Yahoo who solemnly declares themselves to be a peace officer”

This is going to get even more embarrassing when alt-righters in other “first world” western democracies start trying to have copycat protests in their own countries, and they get shut down quickly with extreme prejudice.
