OTTAWA — When Ottawa police let hundreds of protest vehicles drive into the downtown core of the nation’s capital, they did so under the seemingly reasonable assumption that there was no way the demonstrators could stick around in the streets of a city where temperatures regularly dip below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The police were wrong. Backed by donations of cash and supplies, the anti-vaccine mandate protesters have created an off-book supply chain to keep hundreds or thousands of people clothed and fed indefinitely.

It’s not as bad as you’d normally expect from Buzzfeed.

Cops warn downtown Ottawa demonstrators to ‘leave the area now’

Police renewed warnings to downtown Ottawa protesters to get out of the parliamentary precinct Wednesday, this time with the federal Emergencies Act in their arsenal.

Officers walked along Wellington Street handing out notices to protesters encamped there, telling them they “must leave the area now.”

It’s not the first time police have issued such a warning, but it is the first time since the federal government invoked legislation that gives police new powers to take the situation in hand.

I suspect they want this ended before the weekend.

Members of the Ottawa blockade that has kept the capital at a standstill for nearly three full weeks are calling the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act a scare tactic.

Trucks, RVs and other vehicles with Canadian flags or banners with the word “freedom” in giant letters along their front grilles remain on Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill, with drivers saying they will stay put until all COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions are lifted.

The main federal agency guiding America’s pandemic policy is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, which sets widely adopted policies on masking, vaccination, distancing, and other mitigation efforts to slow the spread of COVID and ensure the virus is less morbid when it leads to infection. The CDC is, in part, a scientific agency—they use facts and principles of science to guide policy—but they are also fundamentally a political agency: The director is appointed by the president of the United States, and the CDC’s guidance often balances public health and welfare with other priorities of the executive branch.

Trucker George Dyck ate a hot dog after the federal government announced Monday it would use emergency powers to break up the Freedom Convoy currently entrenched in the shadow of the Peace Tower in Ottawa.

Dyck says he doesn’t fear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act, which could set the stage for aggressive police action, lead to the freezing of his bank account and the loss of his insurance.

“I take it one step at a time,” said Dyck. “In all honesty, God is my shield, and that is what I stand by.”
