No, just look at how they're clogging up our streets and you can see how much they don't care about freedom.
One was deemed legal the other deemed illegal both in Ottawa

Commie girls like anal sex. One of 'em asked me to do it once.

I tried it, but I wasn't impressed. Frankly, it was fucking shit.

Conservative girls do it the normal way in the front. I would much prefer to wipe love juice off of my junk than shit off my junk. :D

Ah, "enormous." Yep, that's specific figure a body can use!
ell during the dark decade of the n1990s our socialist provincial government managed to turn BC from a "have" to "Have Not" province, while the rest of the country was doing fine. Have not status gives a province access to more federal money, while haves must pay the bill.

Ah. Well, that clarifies it.

You don't know what a siege is.

Thanks.

Actually his definition of Siege is only part of the definition. IMO if we look at the rest, "a prolonged period of misfortune" DOES seem to fit what's going on. Also you could - at a stretch - call this an "operation in which a force" has "Surrounded" the downtown core "with the aim of forcing" an issue - in this case, forcing their demands to be met, or to "Surrender" (that's if we use the definition that pops up when putting siege into Google; Oxford Language Dictionary)

There's also


It's similar enough that the above applies.

So, yeah, siege *could* be used... especially after it being 2 weeks now.

As an aside: Portland - the right's poster child for all things bad about BLM - was called, and was not called, a siege. It depends who you spoke to.

That I think fits more this situation - it all depends on who you speak to.

A province that whines about the possibility of an oil spill along the coast but has no problem with their 13% of Canada's population contributing 40% of Canada's total raw sewage dumping.

BC is full of a bunch of whiners, snitches and loser socialists. They don't call BC the left coast for nothing. (n)

A siege would infer armed and hostile force. The Freedom Convoy is neither. Currently neither the Federal or Ontario governments are acting within the limits of the charter of rights. Which would make them the oppressor.

Wrong again. DND is the controlling part of the Military. And political hacks that needed to be paid off.

WTF!! Traitor!! Just moved from voting Conservative to the PPC. Justin Trudeau could end the blockades today.. but it's not about mandates anymore with the Elite Cupcake. It's about his Ego, Pride and Power.

How do you like those

Still clueless. DND IS the Military.
What a dolt!!!!

The DND is not the military.
The military is the Canadian Armed Forces.
The DND is the Department of National Defence .

DND is an organization like other departments of the Government of Canada. It is established by a statute, the National Defence Act, which sets out the Minister of National Defence’s responsibilities, including the Minister’s responsibility for both the Department and the CAF. In other words, DND exists to carry out the work assigned to the Minister of National Defence, so the department's relationship with the CAF is that of a support system.


Under the National Defence Act, the CAF are an entity separate and distinct from the Department. The CAF are headed by the Chief of the Defence Staff,

Even the NDP are anti protest now.

Neither are anti-protest. The Conservatives just took advantage of a small window of opportunity to court some crazies and hope that they stopped paying attention before switching back to normal.
