Ottawa fights back. On behalf of downtown residents, businesses and workers, we are suing the Freedom Convoy organizers, truckers and donors for $306-million and counting. Each day is another $15M in personal harm and lost revenues and wages. Here is the Occupation Zone. /1

If you live, work or do business in this Zone, you will be a part of the class action. You don't have to register, but keep records of your losses. Email us at [e-mail] if you want to provide us with your story. We will create a website soon for updates. 2/2

1. Canada does not have Republicans says my spouse...

Such an idea would not work here.

Though any trucker who does that here might want to reconsider, independent or nor. For Driving 8 to 9 hours a day means MONEY...Being shut down costs even more.

[Justice matters.]

2. What? The protest was about anti-vaxxers whining about the mandates at borders.

A big majority of Canadian truckers took the vaccines and kept working.

[Justice matters.]

5. Canada has its own anti-democratic fringe minority.

The convoy got overtaken by these nutjobs (in the end, these fringe minority of Fascists said they wanted to overthrow the Liberal gov.)

19. Alberta separatists for one

Alberta separatism...funny how petroleum lubricates this thinking. It is as if someone is paid to push the idea.


With plenty of cattle, oil and conservatives, Alberta has sometimes been called the "the Texas of Canada".

10. Well the current interim leader of the conservative party wears a MAGA hat

so I would say we DO have republicans they just call themselves conservatives.

Of course Canada and Britain both now have more than two major parties. But both also still have Republicans, though not by that name.

4. If you want to protest, march on the sidewalk with signs. I hope they all go broke.

[Traildogbob]

8. Differences on this than normal Trump loving groups

Differences on this than normal Trump loving groups is that Canada has different laws and courts. They will lose!

9. So that's at least $3 000,000 apiece

Enjoy standing on the street corner with a cardboard sign

12. Ottawa Fights Back!

Rt TY Love It!!

13. Why can't we do this? After all, I just read a story where a guy donated $15 million of his money

to a republican candidate's PAC. It seems the only way we as democrats can get anything going or done is sue the living daylights out of these idiot republicans, for impacting our lives negatively via their protests, their not masking etc. and putting those of us that do protect ourselves in harm's way.

[MichMan]

14. Replace our constitution with theirs ?

[SWBTATTReg]

21. Did I say that? Or did I infer something non-Constitutional here? Apparently we have the same kind

of law called the 'Insurrection Act' that rump for some reason didn't act on.

[MichMan]

23. Our legal system allows you to try and sue anyone you like.

Winning is another matter.......

[SWBTATTReg]

24. No, I didn't know that. And of course, winning is one of several options via the

Legal System/the Courts. Helps to have lots of money in doing so. What gets me is where did you come up w/ replacing somehow our Constitution when I suggested getting into the Class Action as described in Canada? You still haven't explained your remark.

[MichMan]

26. Canada has no Bill of Rights for starters

I'm sure you can find other differences.

[Spazito]

31. Canada has the Charter of Rights and Freedoms...

16. Would be nice to see a class action suit in the US

against Trump, Fox TV, and all the disinformation promoters on behalf of people suffering long covid and who have lost loved ones to covid.

Won't happen, but I wish it could.

However, there are other suits, like the one against Fox by Dominion. We need more of these kinds of suits.

18. Hit em in the wallet.

That will definitely get their attention.

[Jacson6]

20. They can sue for $1 billion. They won't collect a dime.

anyone find liable will be able to have it discharged in bankruptcy court.

[Justice matters.]

22. At least their credit score will take a big hit for years.

Maybe the billionaire trumpists who donated won't...

[Merlot]

35. it's not about libel, it's about losses suffered

The organizers do have money, but they won't for long.

The organizers of the event that killed Heather Heyer were sued and they lost.

[Takket]

25. This is what I've been waiting to see!

Go on and ruin them all!!! And roping in the donors actually gives this lawsuit pockets. Question is can this lawsuit go international? Since many of the big dknors of this AstroTurf project are American.

[Reader Rabbit]

27. Can we preemptively do the same here?

It would be glorious.

[Justice matters.]

28. IDK, maybe US Taxpayers v the trump insurrectionists who vandalized our Congress...

for how many millions??

Class action to make 'em pay the repairs and traumatic damages?

[Joinfortmill]

32. Alright!
