Does a municipal government have the authority and legality to do this? What about companies with mandatory drug/alcohol testing? @CBCEdmonton @ctvedmonton @CityNewsYEG @edmontonjournal @globeandmail @GlobalEdmonton you might want to look into this

@Mitchell_AB @KikkiPlanet @TheBreakdownAB @duncankinney -
Know anyone who may be able to answer if a Municipality can institute such a “rule”?
Just to follow this up, this County and some of it’s small towns are among the lowest vaccination rates in Alberta.

And while this area also claims to be untouched by covid, the statistics don’t lie.

A lot of people have been arguing that the protests are super peaceful.

Today, as the crackdown on the #ottawaseige began, one of the protesters tried to pick a fight with me on my way home.

He leaned into my face and screamed FREEDOM - I told him (politely, I would think) to take a step back - he came up so he was literally pushing on me, screaming that I should “go back to where I came from” (I wonder what animated that).

I told him to not touch me.

He said - what are you going to do about it?

I had no interest in getting into a fist fight with this individual - But I repeated to him again that he needed to back off. NOW.

I think he saw the look in my eye and decided to back off (3/7)

Why are we tweeting about #OttawaSiege?
Democracy is the solution to the climate crisis.
Our democracy & therefore the climate conditions civilization depends on are under threat. We are protecting it.
We have volunteers in the National Capital Region directly impacted by the #ottawaoccupiers.
We have members across Canada impacted by the #ottawaseige as well the blockades at the international crosses. They are not able go to work and are losing wages.
Since September 2010, we have lobbied our parliamentarians over 1400X. We have cultivated healthy relationships with Parliamentarians on Parliament Hill. We care about our MPs and Senator.

Media framing of ongoing events in Ottawa & elsewhere in Canada as a protest against Covid-19 public health measures is misleading. The journalists do so in this article do & so does a lot of the coverage. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic… #EmergenciesAct #OttawaSiege
The #OttawaSiege, #AmbassadorBridgeblockade #Coutts were not conceived of or organized by those opposed to public health-related restrictions, eg. vax mandates, etc., but by a hardcore, long-standing group of rightwing extremists in Canada w/ US & int'l support. 2/
That core group that conceived & put these events in motion have subsequently been bubble-wrapped by other protestors who are NOT extremists. Some of the latter have claims that fall well w/i the bounds of legitimate protest. Others are using these events to put their long- 3/

🧵Since I first started researching this convoy I have been DISGUSTED by all of the founders, but particularly by Pat King. He is a piece of shit. Actually, shit might be too pleasant of a title for him. So whatever you associate being less/worse then shit. #FluTruxKlanGoHome
Before we begin with explaining the actions we’re going to take, I’m going to give you a brief rundown on why this man child is problematic (other than his obvious threats/ calls for violence)

TW: pretty much anything that’s offensive/harmful to anyone #GoHomeConvoy
Pat King believes that the Government and the United Nations aim for the “depopulation of the anglo Saxon race.”  “Why would they [the Government/U.N.] want to do this?” He states that this is all part of the U.N. 2030 agenda and that it is their “endgame.” #FluTruxKlanGoHome
