Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

I think @Wudi@feddit.uk is sharing information on Lawson, not that he agrees with him. Please only down vote if the information is not good nor relavent.

“When the convoy was in town, we heard that people were shitting in the streets and in buckets and pouring them in the streets,” he said. “Instead of doing nothing about it, we brought them toilets because it solved that problem.”

Well the "we heard" is baloney. Had friends in attendance, watched livestream EVERY day of the protest, talked to people who were there - and if there were people crapping in the streets it wasn't the protesters. The protesters were out every day, sweeping the streets, collecting garbage, giving out food, they weren't feral animals. Even the claim that someone peed on the war memorial was propaganda used to discredit the protesters. No one saw anyone pee on it and there are animals and homeless people downtown so why did the press automatically assume when they saw some pee that a protester did it? More propaganda.
