Of course the cryptobros are complaining. Meow Meow Cry Meow Meow.

These guys are just asking for the Feds to come down hard on crypto transfers and transactions. Do they forget that their entire business in Canada is transacted on federally-regulated internet infrastructure? Those wired and wireless connections to your devices are all on the Fed's radar. The smarter response from the industry would have been a declaration that we're cooperating with the Feds to keep these criminals out of the sector.

Don't forget that the whole manifesto for *some* of these techbros is precisely bypassing oversight and control from the state. It's not about accommodation.

The next drastic step the Ottawa Police is taking is distributing threatening leaflets to the squatters. I am quite sure the residents of Ottawa would agree that the leaflet stage is unnecessary.

Do we expect to see leaflets being handled to bank robbers, or hostages takers?

So when there's already clear evidence of people breaking the law, the next step is handing them leaflets warning them again that something is going to be done to them...someday?

This is the most embarrassing enforcement of the law ive ever seen in my life.

But dont worry we'll call in tactical units, SWAT, Emergency Task Force, regional police, all surrounding municipal police in advance for something like the G20 within seconds of protests:

Hell we even call in the mounted unit to remove the homeless off from city parks. Just in case anyone needs any further examples of how the police and "justice" system in this country are clearly a laughing joke.

I think Trudeau's going to have to have his own "just watch me moment" and start removing these trucks by force.

The cabinet has invoked the Act, but the government must table the motion at both the HoC and the Senate:

Conservatives not backing Emergencies Act, MPs to debate motion Thursday

Interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen says the party won't be supporting a motion tabled by the federal government that would give them the powers to enforce the Emergencies Act.

I don't expect anything until they pass. I suspect the leaflets are just there to peel away the less hardcore group before the hammer comes down - less individuals remaining, the better it is.
