D&D and the rising pandemic

Holy cow! That is attempted mass murder! Have people completely lost their minds?!

Meanwhile... A small update on the New Zealand convoy:

The Southisland convoy realized too late that they needed a valid vaccine pass to board the interisland ferry. They have put out a call for small boats to carry them across. This is trending under the Twitter hashtag #dumbkirk

Is this a sign of the end times? Canadians being impolite, and attempted murdery?

Slight flaw in their plan. I'm not sure smaller ferries are available.

To cross Cook Straight without using the main ferries you're looking at flying commercial or charter boat/plane.

I'll check r/New Zealand for any updates. Usually a good place to look.

If you see Confederate flags, you might be okay. If you hear banjo music, run for your lives. Grab a few sheep as you go to be on the safe side.

And it’s getting worse in Ottawa:

I read that morning. These guys are criminals! The army needs to step in fast.

Here in the US, the army cannot act as police force within the borders. Can they do that in Canada?

The Prime Minister can invoque the War Measures Act.

It was done, by Trudeau's Father (Pierre Elliot), in the early 70s because of the FLQ, a hardline Quebec separatist group. A UK commercial attache had been kidnapped and a Quebec minister (congressman) was kidnapped and killed. (please do not start a political discussion about that can of worms). The army was sent at the request of Quebec Prime Minister Robert Bourassa.

The army was also called in during the Oka city/Khanawake aboriginal crisis (1990) who were blocading a vital bridge (edit: over ancestral burial land claims. The mayor wanted to build a golf course and housing). Police forces had botched an assault. There was one death on both sides. That was done at the request of Quebec Prime Minister Robert Bourassa, who managed to get elected once again. The Canadian Prime Minister at the time was Brian Mulroney.

It leaves deep wounds but settles the matter at hand.

This is in more general Geek Talk forum, it doesn't need to directly relate to gaming.
