The least surprising news of the day:Police services cleared hundreds of aggressive, committed zealots out of a large, dense, de facto fortified, urban area, without firing a shot, and without loss of life. The emergencies act was used to crush finances, rather than send in tanks

Just as Jan 6 was a Come-To-Jesus moment for some of the American media, so the Ottawa Occupation may become that for the Canadian media. The "both sides" stance is breaking down - a little bit, anyway.A source in the emergency response team told me that Ottawa Police planned, then cancelled, at least one operation after discovering details may have been leaked to the occupiers. They suspected an officer who was on leave without pay for refusing to get vaccinated.

This came from Andrew Coyne today, who is usually a stenographer for the Conservative party. He’s not wrong. I Conservatives have collapsed as a legitimate party. They are done. Put a fork in them. pic.twitter.com/3PjYQm704Z

CBC's Chris Walker got hammered for this one:First it was Andrew Coyne, then it was Warren Kinsella, now it’s Robert Fife. Not to worry though, RexMurphy & Jordan Peterson went down the rabbit hole together

This Ivison clanger landed with a thump heard across twitter:As someone who has been working hard to radicalize people on the far left -- folks, we are not the ones doing fascism. https://t.co/YPmk8W87Yz

And Brian Lilley is, of course, blaming the Liberal government - but also, the insurrectionists! So ...Left: please get vaccinated.

Right: we want to overthrow the government and imprison the Prime Minister.
Ivision: both sides! https://t.co/pRL3y83M6x
And no wonder, because here's a sensible discussion about those "divisive" accusations against Trudeau from the CPC that too many people in the media keep parroting:Latest column: Police did their jobs in Ottawa while the government and protesters engaged is false propaganda.

This will take a long time to heal.

1/ "Divisiveness" is, as Emmett Macfarlane rightly points out, not of itself an argument against any policy. Leaving aside the fact that mandates command huge public support, If division were a disqualifying argument, we'd have no free trade agreements, no same-sex marriage, etc

The thousands of Canadians who took part in this insurrection, and who are still cheering and honking and trying to blockade borders for no reason I can fathom, are going to have a rude awakening:Anything worth doing can be considered divisive. Bringing in Medicare in SK resulted in a doctor's strike. It was a divisive issue. Divisive is a code word I have heard in the church for not wanting to ordain women or not allowing clergy to perform same sex marriages.

And isn't this the truth:After experiencing the exhilaration of unlawful collective action, many of them will be waking to realize how alone they are: alone with criminal records; alone with seized assets and frozen accounts; alone and abandoned by those whose directives they followed.

Mr. Lich informs the court that the Holy Spirit is going to assist him and his wife to travel home from Ottawa.

They promised they would die in droves
they promised to stand their ground.
Martyrs to the end
I envisioned burning monks
I got deflated bouncy castles instead
