Between getting ready for the move in 2 weeks, everything going on here, trying to make some money, the phone, email and messenger, and a damn cat who thinks my keyboard is a bed, I have ended up with the attention span of a squirrel the past few weeks....OH, LOOK....Something shiny !

 Same tactic you always take when you don't want to respond to something. Distraction or divert to something else.
That's OK, I didn't expect a realistic response.
Something you Canadians have to decide. We've got our own issues here in the US.

Actually the oil industry is, but I have noticed anything that affects Ontario is always deemed a "national crisis" by politicians (because that's where the most votes are).[This message has been edited by fierosound (edited 02-14-2022).]

On the radio last night, there was discussion among reporters about misinformation being distributed, and one story that was mentioned was what MEM had posted above. Turns out it was total fabrication. Never happened.
Police weren’t ordered to return fuel to Ottawa protesters
| quote |
CLAIM: Police in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, are returning fuel they seized from protesters in response to an order from a judge.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. There is no court order requiring the police to give back seized fuel, according to a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. The Ottawa Police Service also confirmed that it isn’t returning fuel to protesters.
THE FACTS: False claims circulated widely on social media this week that a judge ordered police in Ottawa to return fuel they had previously seized from protesters opposed to COVID-19 restrictions.
“Judge orders Ottawa Police to return the confiscated fuel back to the truckers,” read one Tweet that was shared more than 8,000 times. Similarly, a Facebook user who shared video footage of people handling gasoline canisters wrote in a post on Wednesday, “Ottawa police returning all fuel they took from the truckers by Judges order. FREEDOM CONVOY 2022.”
But the claims are false, according to both the Ottawa Police Service and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. No such court order exists, nor is the police department giving fuel back to the demonstrators.
“The Ottawa Police are not returning seized items associated to the demonstration, such as fuel,” Constable Amy Gagnon, a spokesperson for the Ottawa Police Service, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
Brian Gray, a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, wrote in an email to the AP that court staff at the Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa were “unable to locate any such order.”
Spokespersons for the Department of Justice Canada and the Federal Court in Canada referred the AP to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
Demonstrators in Ottawa protesting COVID-19 restrictions, including vaccine mandates, have used hundreds of parked trucks to disrupt the Canadian capital’s business district, the AP reported. The mayor of Ottawa has asked for almost 2,000 extra police officers to address the nightly demonstrations.
The Ottawa Police Service announced on Sunday night that it had seized multiple vehicles and fuel, along with taking a variety of other enforcement actions, including arrests.

This is part of AP’s effort to address widely shared misinformation, including work with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to misleading content that is circulating online.

Gaslighting noun
: psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator Gaslighting can be a very effective tool for the abuser to control an individual. It's done slowly so the victim writes off the event as a one off or oddity and doesn't realize they are being controlled and manipulated.— Melissa Spino
Gaslighting can happen in any relationship circumstance, including between friends and family members—not just in couple relationships.— Deena Bouknight
This is a classic gaslighting technique—telling victims that others are crazy and lying, and that the gaslighter is the only source for "true" information. It makes victims question their reality …— Stephanie Sarkis
