These meetings are very revealing. One thing that really stands out is how all of the police services board, as well as in the meetings with the city council, excetera - all of these bureaucrat politicians basically claim that 'everybody in Ottawa is scared for their lives, and they're not even able to step out of their homes.' Very melodramatic, very angst-ridden, very absurd and preposterous- and they always say 'we must end this, we must stop this, we must get all the funding and the federal government and the military to stop it, just stop it immediately,' etc. Yet they never once, none of them ever even once talk about the larger issue of why this is protest is happening, they never once mention the mandates, or the complaints of the actual protest itself.
