    What's needed is for the truckers(no offence mumbles) to take the reigns of every country. Party on. As bad as government can be at least most members have a diploma that doesn't end in something high

    Ottawalks one of my go to streamers. Right now it’s pretty damn quiet. Worth checking out to get a sense of how much more intense things get tomorrow and possibly tonight.

    This afternoon several organizers of the counter protest pulled out for "safety reasons". That being said some of the other groups of counter protesters still plan to show up so it's not very clear how big a counter protest is expected at this time.

    As of right now is scheduled to start at 2pm Saturday.

    Apparently zello chats by protesters suggest a lot of the truck drivers are expecting to be paid for this protest. There could be some big issues regarding that now….

    Will be intersting to see how many truckers are paid out from the 1 million already released.

    UPDATE: GoFundMe Statement on the Freedom Convoy 2022 Fundraiser
    GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created.
    We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.
    To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground. Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform.
    Organizers provided a clear distribution plan for the initial $1M that was released earlier this week and confirmed funds would be used only for participants who traveled to Ottawa to participate in a peaceful protest. Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the organizers and verified by GoFundMe.
    All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022 using this dedicated refund form.

    Actually, in many third world countries this is exactly what it sounds like in the big cities, pretty much 24/7. I went to Kolkata once a long long time ago, and this is pretty much what it sounded like the whole time.

    But yeah, unlike the BLM protests/riots of 2020 which were mostly just a cynical excuse by many to get out of the house, create a little mayhem and get some free shit; for good or bad this protest/riot is comprised of dedicated people who actually believe in a cause, so the stakes are higher.
