Yesterday was another display of the Police and Cities incompetence. Seems the Hotel Association, yes, that's right, the Hotel Association warned the Police that the truckers were booking hotel rooms for 30 to 90 days and were expecting 5k-15k. Police did nothing with that info.

When discussing the use of the baseball stadium on Coventry Rd for the convoy, City of Ottawa officials stated in emails that they thought protestors would park in the stadium parking lot and take the LRT downtown to protest #cdnpoli #ottnews

#1 these are self entitled morons who hold on tight to their big rigs and pickup trucks. #2 You don't want these people on transit because intimidation/vandalism and #3 the City is aware the stadium parking is underutilized could be used as a park and ride, bony won't let residents and taxpayers use it as such?
In positive (?) news, props to Doug Ford for giving credit where credit is due. He supports the Feds's use of the Emergencies Act. Good on him for not being ultra partisan like the Federal PCs, or Provincial PCs in the west. I disagreee with a lot of his politics and decisions, but I can respect his willingness to work and support with the Federal Liberals.
