This is how it appears to residents - ALERT ALERT ALERT - big convoy of trucks coming - City of Ottawa response: sounds great - come on down, it'll be fun, we'll let you park on the QED, SJAM Pkway, downtown streets, close Queensway on-ramps, give you escorts and port-a-potties... when do you plan to leave, oh your not sure, stay as long as you like, anything else we can provide to you when here? Oh now the residents aren't too happy - let's tell them that the trucks are big and dangerous and might have guns and would be a really hard thing to get them to move. We won't give tickets or tow them because that would be a big inconvenience. HonkHonkHonkHonkHonk

Ottawa is truly a banana republic.

Banana republic regimes tend to shoot dissenters or have the military crush rebellions.
