Sell vehicles towed during protest to cover city's costs, says Watson
Emergencies Act gives city that power, mayor says
CBC News · Posted: Feb 20, 2022 4:00 AM ET


Ottawa's mayor says any vehicles seized during the police crackdown on the occupation of the downtown should be sold to cover costs incurred by the city.

"We actually have the ability to confiscate those vehicles and sell them," Mayor Jim Watson said Saturday.

"And I want to see them sold. I don't want the return to these people who've been causing such frustration and angst in our community."

The mayor told CBC News that Ottawa has that power due to the Emergencies Act, which was invoked by the federal government last week.

Watson said he's been pleased by the level of professionalism shown by law enforcement since officers began stepping up their efforts Friday to clear the protest. But he also said he worries about demonstrators who have been "taunting police, being completely irresponsible, and don't want to seem to leave."

And you just thought you owned some things.

Azzhole...

Truckers oughta do what farmers were doing during farm foreclosures...show up, min bid and then "sell" the farm back to the family.
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

Government confiscation of dissident's properties?  They are skipping the socialist part, and are going full bore U.S.S.R.

Great idea, and since public sales have disclosure and ID requirements, Dox the F__ out of anyone trying to compete.

Well at least the mask has been removed from all these government tyrants.

No rule of law. No due process. Just submit or else.

We'll see what Canadians are made of.

He still has to get it by parliament... And that, I do believe, by tomorrow...

And I dare say Parliament will have much to say. He cannot do as he has done unilaterally. Parliament has to approve it.. And still, the lion's share of their premieres (governors) are now against... And even if he gets it through parliament, he still has to get it past the Premieres.

Especially if the UN bits are true.

I think he is digging his own political grave.

He, and those with him are all-in. That includes the media.

The narrative relatives on the East Coast are hearing is that the violent protesters were lobbing tear gas bombs and other projectiles at the police, and that a bicycle was thrown at the horses. I informed them that I'd had the live streams on for hours and seen only acts of violence by police, not demonstrators,, and that there was absolutely no sign of a bicycle in that crowd, or near the horses which ran roughshod over the lady on the mobility scooter and the other man. (I have heard that she was injured, but nothing on his condition--perhaps reports of a death were of his, being covered up by denials that she was killed).

It's like the scene from Fahrenheit 451 where Montag is watching the police gun himself down on the vid screen.

It's all a show for the uninformed, to make them feel informed, while they are being fed lies.

Rabid dogs won't back down. That does not leave Canadians many options if Parliament won't take care of it.

That's right... But a couple things:

1) Not that many folks are listening to the MSM. They nearly do not matter, except in city centers.

and

2) Parliament has election to worry about. And they better be worried.

You seem to know more than anyone else here about Canadian affairs.  I remember when I was young, Quebec was trying to break away.  Is it that easy in Canada, and is there enough anger and support in the western provinces to push for a West-Can-Exit initiative?

Those are the reasons I an hoping Parliament does take care of it and the Canadian (and US) MSM ends up with a lot of egg on their faces.

Canada is making us look like Pikers.  Jack Booted Thug Trudeau army was arresting the only dissenting network (Rebel).

This would be like Biden slapping cuffs on Bill Melugin while reporting for Fox at the border.

There have been exit strategies already, mostly in Alberta and the NW Territories.

Alberta is what I know best, and outside of a few strange phrases and such, there ain't any real difference between Alberta and Montana. The Folks are the same.

Now, I can stretch that to cover inland BC and western Saskatchewan... and say that's all likely the same, though Saskatchewan is more farmer than rancher, and inland BC is more hillbilly. But like  here, more or less the same.

However. They are a proud people and love their country. I don't think they want to split her up anymore than we want to split the US.

That all said, I am not an expert... I just live 60 miles from the border and have had a whole lot of direct interface with them - Both me going there and them coming here. For a long while there, all you needed to cross the MT/ALB border was a valid driver's license. So traveling back and forth was pretty common.

Didn't the National Socialists do the exact same thing in Germany back in the 1930s and 40s?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I understand Canada's form of government is pretty darned close to the UK's. So yeah, they are pretty much in the same boat we were in in 1775.

Actually, they are worse off since they willfully accepted what the UK was offering.

Canada is now proving the aphorism about Constitutional rights:  when you can get 'em, you don't need 'em; and when you need 'em, you can't get 'em.
