Tell me about it. I’m in a townhouse about 6 doors away from theses “patriotic Canadians” and have been on the brink more than a few times. Since the injunction against the constant horns is has been a wee bit better noise wise, but the heavy diesel fumes an smell have been a constant issue.

Fortunately for the past two days the block in front of our place has been more or less cleared of the heavy trucks and for what it’s worth one lane of traffic is open tor one block further up the street.

Sorry to hear you’ve been going through this Anne. Glad things are starting to get a bit better though.

Hopefully your city can get back to normal soon.
 
the problem is that once the insurers disavow any association with the folks who are clearly violating their policies, who is gonna pay the judgments?

but yeah, sue them all.

Many of them are broke and uninsured, sure, but some of they own or have equity in their trucks, homes, some savings etc. They're not going to be able to claim that they were there in a business capacity.

If they have no insurance or money, all the better. Bleed them dry of however few grubby pennies they have to their names.

There should be lots of criminal charges too.
And also tickets and fines.

I suspect these heroes are going to find out really fast that none of the crowdsourced money is going to be available to pay their legal bills. Whatever is released will be grifted.

oh no doubt, but still going to take a ton of time and effort to eventually ever collect
 
I doubt that much more than creating a legal hassle for the individual protesters will come of it. The main organizers and their source of funding could be another story but then all levels of government and businesses will be looking for compensation from that source.

Since I’m in that geographical area I’ll gladly take what ever portion I can. Should this lawsuit be settled in my lifetime I expect it to be not much more than the satisfaction of tying them up with legal complications and any fallout for a long long time.
