Canada Police Knock Protesters Down

Canada police arrest in Ottawa Canada

Canada Police put the number of arrests at over 100 in Ottawa, and the number of vehicles towed at 21 at around 5:30 p.m. today, 2/18/2022, as law enforcement continues to subdue protesters in an effort to end demonstrations in Ottawa, Canada.

Mounted police and officers on foot advanced on crowds to push them away from the designated secured area, in some instances knocking down protesters.

Canada police slowly pushed back the crowd of peaceful protestors for most of the day, but in the afternoon increased pressure by deploying pepper spray and using police on horseback to gain more ground while advancing against the protesters.

Some Canadian police officers carried assault rifles and what appeared to be rubber bullet launchers.

Protesters in Ottawa mostly appeared to be resisting peacefully, but the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) said after 5 p.m. that some are “assaulting officers and have attempted to remove officer’s weapons.”

Earlier in the day, protest organizer Benjamin Dichter took to Twitter to urge protesters to leave and pleaded with the OPS to let the truckers “leave in peace.”

“One of the Freedom Convoy Canada drivers had his truck windows smashed by Ottawa Police, their guns drawn, while being dragged out of his vehicle by force.

The families of the Canada police need to turn their backs on them. What they did was cowardly and shameful.

Police are infiltrated largely by freemasons, and freemasons are largely corrupt and demonic.

Do these Canada police realize they have to go home and tell their children they stood up for tyranny today and beat innocent protesters? Maybe they’ll leave that part out.

FOLLOW THE MONEY!

The truckers have already won – it just does not appear that way yet. Wait until you see what unfolds in the near future.

Canadians are about the easiest going people in the world. Those are the kind of people that you do not make angry and treat like terrorists. This is going to backfire on these marxists – wait and see.

Canada Protestors Arrested

“We want you to be aware that entering the Secured Area for the purpose of contravening the Emergencies Act, may result in you being arrested and/or charged,” Ottawa police said in a statement.

Protesters could be seen making snow barricades on Wellington and Metcalfe streets to slow the police advance toward the core of the protest in front of Parliament Hill.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) called out the OPS for telling media earlier in the day to stay away and warning that “anyone found within areas undergoing enforcement may be subject to arrest.”

“Warning journalists about safety risks in the protest zone is reasonable. Threatening them with arrest for doing their jobs is not,” wrote the CCLA on Twitter.

Two Freedom Convoy organizers, Chris Barber and Tamara Lich, were arrested on Feb. 17. Former RCMP officer Daniel Bulford, who coordinated security at the protest, was also arrested on Feb. 18.

Barber is charged with “counselling to commit the offence of mischief,” “counselling to commit the offence of disobey court order (s. 127,” and “counselling to commit the offence of obstruct police.” Lich is charged with “counselling to commit the offence of mischief.”

Both were scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 18.

Dichter said on Twitter in the afternoon of Feb. 18 that in the case of Barber, the presiding judge ruled that he can be released on condition he goes home.

“This is why de-escalation is important & to communicate it to law enforcement. I do not want my friends stuck in jail or other drivers to get injured,” Dicther said. “To everyone who has shared love and support for #CanadasTruckers, thank you, we love you all. I and many others have left Ottawa.”

THEY Want YOU To Think You Are Alone In Your Thinking – YOU’RE NOT!

The House of Commons sitting on Feb. 18 was cancelled due to the expanded police operations, the Speaker of the House said.

“Given these exceptional circumstances, and following discussion with all recognized party leadership, the sitting today is cancelled,” said a post on the official Twitter account of Anthony Rota.

On Feb. 14, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act to confront the ongoing protests.

An “Emergency Act” was declared against peaceful protestors.

The House of Commons is currently debating the measures under the Act. While the Tories are opposed to the move, so far NDP have spoken in support of the use of the Act, giving Liberals enough support for its passage once it goes to vote.

“To deal with the current threats, our government is invoking the Emergencies Act. The scope of the Act is time-limited and targeted, reasonable, and proportionate–and it gives law enforcement agencies more tools to restore public order and protect people,” Trudeau said on Twitter about his government’s decision to invoke the act.

“Current Threats” by peaceful protestors standing up for FREEDOM

Canada police in Ottawa have set up fences and barriers in downtown Ottawa to establish a secured area, banning travel and assembly of people within the zone. The secured area is from Bronson Avenue to the Canal, and the Queensway to Parliament Hill.

Only local residents or people who work in the area will be allowed to go into the secured area in Ottawa, Canada.

Interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell said on Feb. 17 that the secured area includes close to 100 checkpoints, to ensure those who want to enter the area for an “unlawful reason, such as joining a protest, cannot enter the downtown core.”

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which has provided legal representation to Freedom Convoy organizers, said in a statement that it has issued a “cease and desist demand letter” to Bell.

“The Charter ensures that Canadians are free to peacefully assemble, to express their ideas, to gather to discuss them and communicate them widely to other people, including vigorous political dissent. These activities are basic forms of individual liberty. They are essential to the basic functioning of a democratic society like Canada. In Canada, people are free to discuss matters of public policy, to protest and to criticize governments,” JCCF said in a statement.

“The Interim Police Chief’s improper attempts to scare Canadians from exercising their Charter rights is disturbing,” added Keith Wilson, JCCF lawyer and external lead counsel for the Freedom Convoy 2022.

Civil liberties and constitutional rights groups have launched legal challenges against the government’s use of the Emergencies Act in the face of the protests.

“The government’s emergency declaration is unprecedented and seriously infringes the charter rights of Canadians,” Canadian Civil Liberties Association executive director Noa Mendelsohn Aviv said at a press conference on Feb. 17, after announcing that her organization is intending to take the government to court over its use of the act.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) also said it’s taking legal action against the government over its use of the act on Feb. 17.

“Prime Minister Trudeau has set a dangerous precedent by invoking the never before used federal Emergencies Act to address the current situation. The high threshold for declaring a public order emergency in the Emergencies Act has not been met,” said CCF litigation director Christine Van Geyn in a statement on Feb. 17.

With the new powers granted under the Emergencies Act, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Feb. 17 that information is now being shared by law enforcement with Canada’s financial institutions to cut off funding for the ongoing protests.

“The names of both individuals and entities, as well as crypto-wallets have been shared by the RCMP with financial institutions, and accounts have been frozen, and more accounts will be frozen. Crowdfunding platforms and payment service providers have started the registration process with FINTRAC,” Freeland said at a press conference.

The ongoing protests against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions were inspired by a movement initiated by truck drivers opposed to the federal government’s requirement that truck drivers crossing the U.S.-Canada border need to have COVID-19 vaccination. As large convoys of trucks and other vehicles drove to Ottawa to protest the vaccination mandate, more people joined the movement, opposing various COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.

Many protesters have said they intend to stay in Ottawa until the mandates are lifted.

“We will remain peaceful, but planted on Parliament Hill until the mandates are decisively ended,” protest organizer Tamara Lich said at a press conference on Feb. 14.

Live your life, look out for family and friends and those in need. Government has no right and no place to prevent freedoms of any kind to anyone.
