My guess though is that major Jewish populations in Canada are in major cities.

I'll never understand why in this day and age that hating Jews is still considered to be politically correct.it seemed that small towns in the US had BLM issues a few years ago…

How Protests Spread to Small-Town America
There have been Black Lives Matter protests in more cities and towns than any set of demonstrations in U.S. history. Rather than traveling to the nearest big city, residents are determined to take a stand close to home.www.governing.com
My guess though is that major Jewish populations in Canada are in major cities. (I stand to be corrected though). These protests are targeting those communities in those major cities. It’s likely also where most Palestinian supporters will be found as well.
We recently had protesters in the west end targeting an intersection near a grocery store known to carry kosher food and cater to the Jewish community in Ottawa. The organisers claimed it was just a coincidence but everyone knows they were full shyte.

It’s very weird that society seems to be tolerating it.I'll never understand why in this day and age that hating Jews is still considered to be politically correct.
FTFYThey should carry signs saying “Re-establish theceasefire Hamas violated on Oct 7partition of Palestine violated by the Arab world in 1948”
Maybe at some point, most people will recognize the Arab power-block has no interest whatsoever in seeing Palestinians function within in a multi-faceted Middle East. Even Jordan, which has been the most supportive Arab state of the Palestinians of late, is taking its lead from KSA & Coy.FTFY
That was an absolutely fantastic piece. I’ve only been doing the public order thing for a few years, so I haven’t experienced from our side how it was before. I can definitely see how our current philosophy and strategy is informed by the thinking described in this article. Anyone truly interested in the police public order aspect to these events should read this article.Once again Paul Wells hits all the salient parts of police response to protests.

The police won't make your point

I have a feeling there are a group of losers who join in these “events” because it’s something for them to do.
All the major centres have a group of "professional protesters" that come out and join other groups protesting. Once saw a group of "normal protesters" get pissed at the career types and beat them up till they left.I saw a guy at the Toronto ice skating protest who looked just like a bunch of the goofs at the February Ottawa protest. I have a feeling there are a group of losers who join in these “events” because it’s something for them to do.
Can you clarify what you’re referring to? The courts don’t get involved in police operational decision making. It will be a very rare court order that would compel police to do something operational and specific. Courts may make court orders that are police enforceable, but that doesn’t necessarily usurp police operational discretion on the ground.If the courts give the police an instruction, the police are at liberty to ignore the law?
That’s what I meant by “February Protest”. I cannot believe we are coming up to two years since the convoy came east.Right.
I also have that feeling when I see the freedom 4-wheelers.
Seen it done. In the idle no more protests a judge gave a court order to clear a railroad crossing that had been blockaded. Instead of enforcing that order a cop went and sat with the protesters. And that cop retired just about 3 years ago, so he didn’t get fired or any other fair punishment for his clear dereliction of duty.If the courts give the police an instruction, the police are at liberty to ignore the law?
Not to make this political, but the above does involve politicians in some way, shape, or form.Seen it done.

Christie Blatchford: Politicized policing around Idle No More blockades puts rule of law at risk
Christie Blatchford: David Brown on Monday issued a lament for the rule of law in giving his decision on an Idle No More rail blockadenationalpost.com
At the end of the day our institutions are only as good as what we are willing to do to enforce them. Currently we are not willing to do so as a society. Laws are broken constantly, our streets are filled with citizens actively breaking the law. Criminals act with impunity and if someone dares to stop them we blame the good samaritan for getting involved and having the audacity to put a end to it.
Hell we allow our politicians to unilaterally re-write the constitution in ways they legally have no power to do so just because no one wishes to actually enforce the laws we have in place. All are signs of a declining democracy.
