Around 500 motorcycles participating in the "Rolling Thunder" convoy are expected to roll into Ottawa on Friday for a series of rallies and other events throughout the week.
Ottawa police were widely criticized for its lack of enforcement action during the "Freedom Convoy" trucker occupation. But Steve Bell, the city's interim police chief, has vowed to make sure the police force "will not allow for unsafe or unlawful conditions that could lead to another unlawful protest."
Ottawa City Councillor Theresa Kavanagh says "there's no doubt" that police will be better prepared this time.
Police are setting up an exclusion zone for vehicles around Ottawa's downtown core and Byward Market. Roads will only be open for residential and business traffic, pedestrians, cyclists and public transit.
"We're ready now. The rust is off. The police agencies are prepared to deal with any unlawful forms of protest that may come up.
Ottawa residents are pre-emptively parking their own cars on the street to prevent a protester from possibly parking in front of their homes.
With proper planning and good intelligence, Kempa says the trucker convoy would have never "spired out of control."
"We don't need to get back to that situation of emergency ever again. And the inquiry is designed to uncover what went wrong, so that we never do the same thing for the same reasons twice," he said.

As some are vets, those at least will be visiting the Memorial "to take it back" (even though fence was there ONLY during winter protest .. taken down immediately after and fully open to public all along since)
I have seen leader interviewed and visited his site & there seems only very confused objectives at best

"he said", lol .... have you listened at length to this critter? He's a loon with no clearly professed agenda
The fence was only put there out of necessity when people used it as a dance floor ... then removed the very day the trucks were towed away & the city was freed .. so what's to "take back" .. nothing is what ... just bullshit
Genuine memorial honor people have been going to it daily since the day the last ruck was towed the hell out of the way
It's all a bullshit thing ... emotion with no discernably stated legitimate direction

I would join a ride to Ottawa if there is a real issue to protest. I got the time and the money and I like like long rides with lots of other riders. I would not ride into town to join a protest over a frickin fence.

1. This is not about any specific .. in fact, what it's about is not even clearly defined, let alone specifically defined
Only clear thing is not the overall group, rather some vets within it saying they will "rescue the Cenotaph" when it was opened back up the very day after the last truck was towed .. Much as I like vets overall, these are misguided, a duh!!
2. Have we ever seen an instance where Govt then acts against it's own intentions as a result of protest? No.
(Sure it has acted using protest as an excuse to do what it wanted to do anyhow .. i.e. give natives more money, succumb to gay / trans demands etc)

1. I'm not talking about a fence. As Herman said, this is not important. He gave carbon tax increases as an example. I agree, forced inflation is worth protesting.
2. The yellow vests in France protesting fuel tax increases. In Alberta, protesting coal mine approvals. There are others I am sure I would find if I searched.

European parliamentarian praises bikers, heaps scorn on Trudeau
"I would say he's an idiot who doesn't really get what's going on. A puppet. I wonder who is actually tying his shoes every morning. I don't think he can handle that himself."
"I support citizens standing up to governments [that] basically want to undermine democracy to abolish it because that is what's happening," said Anderson, during a telephone interview from Brussels, Belgium.
"I've always been very clear about advocating individual freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. I see that threatened in all the Western democracies."
"People need to understand our democracies are under attack."
That includes Canada at the hands of its current government.
Although the bikers — many of them veterans hoping to lay wreaths at the National War Memorial — announced peaceful intentions, Ottawa police are calling in 830 RCMP reinforcements.
Trudeau then stood in the EP on March 24 to lament a "growing distrust of government" and a need to "fight against authoritarianism."
During a melodramatic speech, Trudeau denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine in February.
He took shots at Canadian truckers.
Trudeau called a state of emergency over trucker's bouncy castles on Parliament Hill at nearly the same time Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called a state of emergency over an armed Russian invasion.
Anderson, who asserted Trudeau had no right to pontificate before the EP, wrote a point of order to bar him from speaking.
"I didn't expect to get a majority, but it was an opportunity for me to tell him 'Hey look, you are not wanted here, at least not by everyone. There are people that see through you and people who know exactly what you're doing. It has nothing to do with respecting your citizens and their fundamental rights. It's the exact opposite.'"
For Anderson, listening to Trudeau was painful.
"I really have to say gosh, I've never seen a worse performance. That's what it was, a performance."
"That entire speech, it was monotony. I couldn't get myself to listen to his words, so utterly boring. In the end, I made an effort to listen to what he was saying because I wanted to address it later."
"I would say he's an idiot who doesn't really get what's going on. A puppet. I wonder who is actually tying his shoes every morning. I don't think he can handle that himself."
Trudeau, attending a NATO summit, received an invite to address the EP. When a world leader speaks there, the chamber's usually packed.
"There were maybe 10% of the MEPs that bothered to show up to hear what Mr. Trudeau had to say," said Anderson.
Many got up and left as he spoke.
Others, like Romanian MEP Christian Terhes refused to attend. Terhes chastised Trudeau for trying to teach Puntin democracy lessons when "when you trample with horse hooves your own citizens who are demanding their fundamental rights be respected."
Some MEPs of the 705-member assembly from 27 countries were invited to respond to Trudeau's comments.
Anderson welcomed the opportunity.
"A prime minister who openly admires the Chinese basic dictatorship, who tramples on fundamental rights by persecuting and criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists just because they dared to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy should not be allowed to speak in this house at all," Anderson told the EP.
Brazenly invoking the Emergencies Act is something other countries "would not have been able to get away," she told the Western Standard.
But moves to undermine democracy are hardly confined to Canada.
"As you know, we Germans have a very dire history as far as that's concerned. The German people vowed to never let anything like this happen again," she said.
"Yet here we are, it is happening again. Now, people even knowing fully well what mechanisms were in place back then to make such a horrific regime possible, they fail to see how it's the very same mechanisms being applied once again."

Convoy drivers and counter-protesters clashed in Portland, Oregon, Saturday after individuals started throwing objects at passing vehicles.
Police reported an incident on the Northeast Glisan Street overpass on Interstate 205. According to police reports, a shot was fired between protesters and counter-protesters on the highway.
How can businesses survive in Portland.

The 'Most' part is untrue.
From your link:
" people are packing up and moving to the suburbs, but it's not a Portland-specific phenomenon. It's happening in every major city on the West Coast.
Lee said the city's problems, bad as they are – alone -- aren't always enough to drive locals away. But the problems can make Portland not worth the skyrocketing costs of living here.
"We're really pinning that to affordability, right? When you think about a downtown core -- all these amenities -- restaurants, movie theaters -- across the pandemic they were virtually unusable. Many didn't feel the need to pay that downtown premium anymore, instead searching for more space and affordability in the outer edges of the metro," she said."

All the cities on the West Coast of North America are run by prog elites, they all pursue the same goals and they all end up with the same problems that make it hard for working class people to stick around. The only difference is that Vancouver and Victoria didn't have vigilantes destroying people's livelihoods while the cops twiddled their thumbs like cities to the South did.
Our new mayor in Calgary wants to implement some of the same policies that Vancouver has that will inevitably lower housing supply, and increase homelessness and poverty like it has in Vancouver.

Sure it had an influence. There are certainly anecdotal reports that attest to such. Can't be extrapolated to All or Most though. :P
lol, it was more than an influence. What is happening in Portalnd can be seen in many US cities. We had BLM protests, but not riots, looting, and vandalism. Canadian cities didn't have businesses fleeing downtown core areas like Portland and Seattle did. The biggest flight though is taking place in the biggest cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

TORONTO -- Canada's biggest cities are experiencing a record-breaking loss of people as urbanites move to smaller bedroom communities in search of affordable homes.
According to a new Statistics Canada report, Montreal and Toronto both saw a record loss of people from July 2019 to July 2020 as urban-dwellers moved to the suburbs, smaller towns and rural areas.
Toronto lost 50,375 people over those 12 months while nearby Oshawa, Ont. saw its population grow by 2.1 per cent — the fastest population growth in the country. Kitchener–Cambridge–Waterloo in Ontario and Halifax were tied for the second-fastest growth, at 2 per cent.
The difference between flight from Canadian cities is that most people are not moving to the burbs, they are moving to more affordable second and third tier cities.

I rode my bike from Vancouver to San Diego. That was over thirty years ago mind you. I was in Portland. It was a liberal city then. But, it didn't have all the homelessness, crime, continued violence, drugs, trash, and boarded up businesses. It was prog elite pricks who caused that.

City council gave tacit approval to those riots that took place in Portland by allowing it and that did not help the city's image nor give anyone confidence in the city's administration.
Spokane took a very different approach to rioting. That was leadership in my opinion.

A lot of cities on the West Coast, on both sides of the border are experiencing the consequences of well meaning but stupid housing rules.

We had race protests in the Peg. No violence, looting or vandalism rhough.

But, none of this really matters..
If you think Portland is a livable city, it doesn't matter what anyone else's opinnion of the city is.
I scour the internet for the longest and most boring video EVER, and this is the thanks I get?! heh
I don't think any city is livable. That's why I don't live anywhere near one.
But you did ask:
"How can businesses survive in Portland."
So there's your answer.

And then we can assume the ones that are leaving aren't surviving..
Calgary had been losing tennants in our downtown office towers......it seems to have stabilized now.

Portland city councillors would have encouraged them to loot and vandalize businesses.

They're obnoxious in groups, but just like any other person by themselves alone albeit uncouth. Men that still think that they can act like unruly teenagers. In many states it's against the law for them to wear their club colours as it just instigates fights.

Yeah...sorry that's what I meant. No colours in most establishments these days. Having said all that, there are some good actual motorcycle clubs that do a lot of charity work and ride to live as was originally intended. Enjoy the scene and friendship.

The left lanes are for people roughly sticking to the speed limit. The right lane here is meant for passing.
Unfortunately, they issue drivers licences to anybody these days (vision challenged Asians fresh off the boat and young millennials)

I could tell you some stories. They're mostly intimidating in groups. Their nominees, "noms" deal out most of the stupidity and are willing to go to jail for it. I came so close to contaminating their water source with arsenic at a particular HQ. It was purely the collateral damage that made me think better of it.
Even earlier this week when there was an inter-gang murderous blood bath at a Sydney chapter, I laughed my arse off. These cretins deserve every thing that they get.

They're criminals Fash. They rape, plunder and kill people. Most of our deaths are attributed to these clowns. I got caught up with them by just walking past them at a dingy nightclub years ago. Four or five blokes overpowered me at one of their clubs and kicked the shit out of me. Mistaken identity. Broken ribs and a possible cracked skull. I was mad as hell and their apologies just didn't cut it for me. It took me years to get over that one. In the end I didn't want to possibly run the risk of jail.

We have an abundance of grown men here in Australia, that identify themselves as gangsters, but are really are just braindead cretins.(//%3C/s%3E%20%3CURL%20url=%22https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTL7QMO0VeGGU2KnHcNVtX8yiIn8ekBMuIC5A&usqp=CAU%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/imag%20...%20A&usqp=CAU%22%3Ehttps://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTL7QMO0VeGGU2KnHcNVtX8yiIn8ekBMuIC5A&usqp=CAU%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)
If they are outlaw bikers, they don't look very intimidating.
I could tell you some stories. They're mostly intimidating in groups. Their nominees, "noms" deal out most of the stupidity and are willing to go to jail for it. I came so close to contaminating their water source with arsenic at a particular HQ. It was purely the collateral damage that made me think better of it.
Even earlier this week when there was an inter-gang murderous blood bath at a Sydney chapter, I laughed my arse off. These cretins deserve every thing that they get.
Live by the sword...die by the sword, as they say.
:laugh3:
:ohmy:
They're criminals Fash. They rape, plunder and kill people. Most of our deaths are attributed to these clowns. I got caught up with them by just walking past them at a dingy nightclub years ago. Four or five blokes overpowered me at one of their clubs and kicked the shit out of me. Mistaken identity. Broken ribs and a possible cracked skull. I was mad as hell and their apologies just didn't cut it for me. It took me years to get over that one. In the end I didn't want to possibly run the risk of jail.
I saw a group of Hells Angels in a parking lot in Calgary many years ago while walking to my car..
My heart was in my mouth..
But, I was nervous for nothing.....they got on their motorcycles and rode away.

Hell's Angels do good work from time to time.
This one time they were hired as bouncers at a Grinspoon concert in my village. I grabbed some beers from the bar and was walking through the crowd, when some mates lifted me up into a crowd surf. I had to hold my beers to the side in crucifix fashion while I progressed on my back getting passed around the crowd. Finally this short Hell's Angle grabbed by jeans by the ankle section and pulled me down. A couple more escorted me out for "crowd surfing"...
I marched straight home, grabbed a tub of Neapolitan ice cream and through ice cream cones at them, goading them to come fight me.
The lead singer, Phil Jamieson, pissed himself laughing. He shouted on the mic, "did you see that guy...he looked just like Jesus Christ!?"

I heard the HA did concert security. Probably their only legal income source.

Scenic tours on motorcycle and sidecar is another. The Hell's Angels is a very confusing group of bikers. It's a very mixed message augmented by an existential group of individuals. Obviously country to country and generation to generation shapes that anomaly.
Yeah doing concert security in a town that isn't yours is somewhat brazen. I think that I blew their minds with my soft serve of ice creams! Lol....throwing them felt as though I was throwing mini stielhandgranate! The acid trip was sensational.
