00:03:05.680 What? You said the government?
00:03:08.680 The government got out of the country!
00:03:10.680 But it acts of war on your people!
00:03:13.680 You have to seize the conscience before you lose their humanity!

00:03:45.680 Fucking chill Fill me up! 0.99
00:03:51.680 So here we are. 0.99
00:03:53.680 So it looks like the man who was lying down, the line is pushed by him, the cops have him.
00:04:14.800 There's a big push going on again, the cops are pushing the line here.
00:04:18.580 Here it is, cops are throwing punches, cops are throwing punches.
00:04:23.680 It's going to push, people are holding the line.
00:04:31.480 Let us see how we got going.
00:04:37.560 What set of people who are holding myself?
00:04:41.280 I know I got to hold myself and I got to hold myself.
00:04:43.760 That's why I wasatisfied with this idea.
00:04:44.700 Let me tell you what I need to do.
00:04:45.200 I'm sorry.
00:04:46.220 I'm sorry.
00:04:48.160 challenge fight.
00:04:49.300 We're gone.
00:04:49.900 Better kids.
00:04:52.340 this
00:04:54.160 This, this system and it may bring me into the One.
00:04:56.700 We love you!
00:05:26.700 We love you!
00:05:56.700 Now I thought I'd see French and English holding the line together.
00:06:01.700 I'm going to get another aerial view.
00:06:28.900 I'm going to do some reconnaissance around the scene just for five minutes, see if the
00:06:32.240 cops are coming to flank or anything when everyone's attention is drawn on the line.
00:06:36.220 We're just going to go check out what's going on behind the line just to see if there's
00:06:40.640 anything that's about to happen down the street.
00:06:43.380 Are cops moving in force?
00:06:44.980 What's it like over here?
00:06:46.080 We're going to check, see if there's other lines for them.
00:06:49.200 We'll get right back into the movement.
00:06:51.980 But we don't want, you know, don't want to be taken unaware.
00:06:58.900 So here we have a smaller police presence and a smaller protest presence.
00:07:08.220 So a few cops not in force here but just in numbers.
00:07:13.160 We've got some armoured vehicles with a, at least there's no guns on that gun turret.
00:07:22.640 We've got cops there so we'll check out down here.
00:07:31.360 So the music has stopped here of course.
00:07:34.380 This is not really the time for a party here.
00:07:38.720 I don't see any police down George Street near the Byward Market.
00:07:44.760 We'll go up to where Wellington is.
00:07:46.740 So we still have them holding their, they have not sent the horses in but they're, they're
00:08:07.740 mounted.
00:08:08.640 Got some people filming from, right here.
00:08:12.960 Update on Daniel's hand.
00:08:16.220 It is cramping.
00:08:19.820 Which you're allowed to do.
00:08:24.820 As soon as they touch you, you are allowed to defend yourself.
00:08:27.840 Can I get through guys?
00:08:28.500 Thank you.
00:08:33.560 Let's just see.
00:08:38.440 That's the line doing around here.
00:08:40.780 Don't worry guys, I'll get back to the thing.
00:08:42.240 That looks like it's not going to resolve itself anytime soon.
00:08:45.400 Just checking.
00:08:46.040 No major police force coming up here.
00:08:49.840 They're not on Wellington.
00:08:52.180 They're not coming up there.
00:08:53.680 Just a few cops down there where they were before.
00:08:57.760 I'll go back around.
00:08:59.000 I'll head on the bridge and we'll get back to the front lines.
00:09:01.160 If you need to work out.
00:09:11.380 So heading back to the front lines here.
00:09:12.940 I'm not sure if more people will be coming.
00:09:22.480 Well this is pretty good.
00:09:27.260 right selling our brothers and sisters out
00:09:46.100 jesus more police than there is bloody protesting
00:09:57.140 i was following orders you can't clear your touching
00:10:16.100 okay looks like the end of the stairs i can't get back into the heat of it this way so sorry everyone
00:10:28.180 thank god still young enough to do that
00:10:33.460 so looks like we didn't miss much here i'll head back to the epicenter but
00:10:40.020 right now it doesn't look like there's any major police flanking maneuver
00:10:43.380 it seems like it's concentrated right here we've got the horses
00:10:56.020 here and their athletes
00:10:59.700 every day
00:11:03.620 and our children here
00:11:04.900 uh i talked to her mom whose 11 year old son was right by her side and as a mother myself i was
00:11:11.940 curious to know about the motivation what was driving her from her child then she admitted that
00:11:17.540 she had been here for the first week and you'll recall all my instructions to the canada day
00:11:23.460 atmosphere all right guys trying to get everybody up top rolling the line up top right
00:11:31.380 so if you see the pocket the protesters the line has been pushed back here it is
00:11:46.020 what you're doing what you're doing guys
00:12:09.140 so we got a we got a counter protester yelling about donald trump
00:12:13.700 i don't think i mean this is you know classic everything i don't like is donald trump and
00:12:19.940 therefore bad seems to be the the ethos of the capital protests
00:12:33.460 i don't think
00:12:39.220 it's your consciousness officers do the right thing you know no one here means anyone any harm
00:12:44.420 you have been lied to you've been brought in because you haven't been around us
00:12:48.260 stand with the people
00:12:49.780 stand with the people and don't conduct these orders children will look back and say what did you do for
00:12:54.420 freedom
00:13:07.300 go back to mar-a-lago
00:13:11.300 go back to mar-a-lago
00:13:12.180 ignore the provocateur guys we've ignored him all week let him say his feasts
00:13:20.180 everybody's leaving them all know he's got his right to his opinion too
00:13:24.180 everybody comes asking where pat king is well he's a grifter guys don't put your faith in grifters
00:13:37.540 put your faith in the people all right let's go back right there this man's been holding the line
00:13:42.180 let's just take a breath he's going back in
00:13:56.180 oh okay the protesters have done something here so here's here's here's here's here's
00:14:26.020 a new tactic a snow wall is being formed
00:14:36.020 if the city refused to clear the snow and the protests have been on it
00:14:40.660 a new barricade has been formed the protesters are putting in a snow barricade
00:14:50.100 the pops have seen it and they're now pushing through the line
00:14:52.980 they're pushing through
00:15:09.700 so they've got someone down there they got a protester got through they've tackled him
00:15:13.620 they've tackled one protester behind and they've made an arrest there i see a cop with a loaded tear
00:15:20.180 gas canister
00:15:26.020 so we got crowd control weapons locked and loaded at the protesters right now
00:15:36.340 so the snow line did not work no it worked it worked it really okay it worked in the sense that it
00:15:42.660 pushed it made them act made them act it it did force their hand another one is being erected behind
00:15:49.060 the protesters are you on the walks i'm on national telegraph
00:15:56.660 so this looks like it's a game it's lull everyone to into into two moments of peace push the line grab a few protesters at a time tackle them arrest them take them away push the line forward tackle push them away this seems to be right here a vital choke point without journalists people are recording
00:16:14.660 right right right here seems to be where they can divide it right right here seems to be where they can divide it it looks like if they get two and a half million more meters
00:16:20.500 it looks like they will probably start moving in force which is why i think the veterans wanted to form a line here to prevent a bottleneck from happening
00:16:28.500 cops are pushing up down there as well
00:16:48.900 so i see cops with loaded tear gangster weapons riot control we'll get try and get close hopefully you don't get tackled here
00:16:59.060 but tear gas canisters looks like locked and loaded
00:17:02.740 different ones
00:17:18.580 hey do you need a hug okay do you need a hug okay so don't stay away from me
00:17:23.860 the irony is stick in the air as the media is is bad that people are filming them
00:17:35.060 government employees with cameras government employees with cameras it's all the mainstream media is
00:17:43.620 the propaganda arm of the state remember the emergencies act was invoked not from data collected
00:17:48.420 by the rcmp not from ccss not from the military it was a cbc news article funded by the government
00:17:55.140 used by the government to justify emergency powers used on the people this is a
00:18:01.620 party
00:18:20.100 free
00:18:28.180 Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! So again the horses are waiting, the tear gas canisters are loaded
00:18:41.520 but the men and women here are still holding the line, chanting Freedom, singing the national anthem on occasion
00:18:49.600 I can only imagine how the CTV and Global and CBC will be cutting and editing this
00:19:02.140 on tonight's propaganda update from the Supreme Leader.
00:19:06.800 This is why there's people here, citizens, live streaming it,
00:19:10.120 so you can know what actually happened here.
00:19:14.000 Step by step, I will be here until the phone runs out of batteries.
00:19:20.440 And then I will go there.
00:19:22.580 It's my friend Salman Sima.
00:19:24.140 Hi, how are you guys?
00:19:25.220 He is a political prisoner, former refugee from Iran.
00:19:28.460 They cannot arrest me. I'm a refugee here.
00:19:30.700 Yes. The actual act says Salman has a right to be here.
00:19:33.940 Canadian citizens born here do not. 0.97
00:19:36.420 But because he's a refugee, it doesn't apply to him. 1.00
00:19:39.440 That's the stupidest thing. 1.00
00:19:40.320 But good on him for holding the line. 1.00
00:19:49.600 Yeah, if I can, if I can assess it, this is the wedge point here.
00:19:56.800 The protesters should probably have followed the veterans' advice
00:19:59.780 and tactically retreat to the bridge where they can't be boxed in.
00:20:03.060 Where can you be boxed in?
00:20:04.520 Here. If you get split at this road here, they'll arrest you here.
00:20:08.820 They got you boxed in over there.
00:20:10.580 And then they can push all the way up to Wellington.
00:20:13.360 You're going to need to form a strong line in a choke point,
00:20:16.000 give that up, and hold the line that way.
00:20:18.400 Because once they get there, they need two and a half more meters,
00:20:21.640 and then they've got us.
00:20:26.600 You're on the line.
00:20:27.660 You're actually on the front line right now.
00:20:32.380 It's just my opinion that over there on this side, that will be lost,
00:20:36.100 and these people will get boxed in here and there.
00:20:38.680 This seems to be where the last stand will happen.
00:20:42.460 It will be up the bridge.
00:20:44.840 Because this, we have our backs to the trucks.
00:20:47.980 The people are holding there, so the truckers hold this part of Wellington down there.
00:20:53.420 That's held by the protesters.
00:20:55.820 Over there is held by the cops.
00:20:58.000 So that area, the left flank of the line,
00:21:01.520 it looks like it will be in the most danger.
00:21:03.620 And the last line resistance, line two, will be here on the bridge.
00:21:08.380 If the cops take two more meters, expect things to get highly kinetic quickly.
00:21:17.980 So it seems to be a waiting game.
00:21:26.840 It is a wait until the next push from the cops.
00:21:32.260 This is where they are trying to push up into Wellington.
00:21:34.560 Here it goes.
