Meanwhile, in Alberta:

Is it such a stretch to think there's a direct link between these particular events in France and Alberta this week?

Oh god. No, that has to be connected, surely? Identical issues and vests? Same game plan on the part of online agitators?

They were outside Toronto City Hall yesterday; I didn’t hear about it until after. And I think there may have been some on Parliament Hill.

It was very fast; even my well-connected friend didn't hear about that until a few days before.

The Parliament Hill thing was bad. Granted it was in Ottawa, but they were able to mobilize very quickly and under the radar.

I heard at least nine people got arrested on Parliament Hill. Do we know which group(s) they were tied to yet?

As for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, I think I need to look that document up.

No, but I heard there was some srs police brutality. Which. Unsurprising.
