This. It took me weeks post-positive PCR to be able to walk around the block without chest tightness and shortness of breath. Two months later, things are improving, but it has been really frustratingly slow. #COVID19

Good thread. ⬇️ #Ottawa

Let's talk a minute about the policing posture in Ottawa right now. For starters: I don't think anyone really knows what's actually going on inside the Ottawa Police Service right now. (That includes many people inside the Service, I think.)

Can't stress enough that the Canadian public, by and large, support vaccine mandates.

From a survey @abacusdataca completed yesterday. Expect a full report out later this week. n=1,500 adult Canadians, Feb 9 to 13, 2022 Views on vaccine mandates #cdnpoli #onpoli

Premier @fordnation will lift vaccine passports on March 1st, knowing that kids under 5 are ineligible for vaccination and only 55% of kids aged 5-11 are vaccinated. The health and safety of our kids was not mentioned ONCE in his presser. I guess this is the "new normal".

#NEW: On Tamara Lich claiming "no deal" @JimWatsonOttawa's office tells me: "The Mayor’s office has had no communication with the group that would suggest such a development." I'm assuming Watson's office does not follow her twitter feed. #Cdnpoli #Onpoli #Ottawa

Before the blockades I spoke to multiple law enforcement & intel agency sources who said Ottawa Police were not taking things seriously & planned to treat it as a "traffic issue" despite publicly available evidence raising red flags this protest didn't fit the model of past ones

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is declaring a provincewide state of emergency. He calls the demonstration in Ottawa 'an illegal occupation.' He adds: 'This is no longer a protest. With a protest, you peacefully make your point and you go back home.'

Still at a loss about how governments - at all levels - have done next to nothing to shut this occupation down. Especially city officials. How is this still happening (and in some ways, getting worse)? #Ottawa

There was another "peace officer" swearing-in of protesters last night. Larger group who now claim they're empowered to detain and arrest as members of the Canadian Common Corps of Peace Officers.

It's going to take a while for #Ottawa residents to regain faith in municipal leaders/institutions. The last 14 days have been a mess. The staggering loss of control by those purported to be in control has shaken the city to its core. People are demoralized, disgusted & incensed.

#BREAKING: For 3rd time @fordnation gov’t has declined to participate in a meeting this aft of trilateral table set up by the feds to deal with the ongoing blockades in Ontario. A source w/ province telling @CBCNews “it doesn’t accomplish anything” #cdnpoli #onpoli

Canadian politicians have proved themselves willing and eager to lend credibility to this occupation — and that's been a real shot in the arm for those who don’t want a shot in the arm.
