Bloggers note: I feel appalled by the National Capital of Canada citizenry could not tolerate the peaceful and noisy protest of fellow Canadian coming from far and wide at great personal and financial cost .
It is a privilege to live in Ottawa, close to the national parliament, the seat of Government.and it is expected that protest and celebrations and events like Charity Runs Marches ..and parades and LGBTQ events and even taking over city sections and declare them vilage ..all kinds of things can happen here ....But the rejection of a legitimate and peaceful cause ..is NOT Canadian.

conversations with MPS and others that

frantic about having to go through a
second weekend of horns and disruptions
and and being yelled at for wearing
masks and not being able to
go to their neighborhood stores and
seeing the Rito Center shut down and all
these different things that were really
problematic and people were starting to
get pretty upset that this was you know
two full weekends that that they were
