2022 Ottawa Municipal Election

I threw the tweet up because I thought the response was absolutely hilarious.

There's definitely room for improvement in the ottawa police department, I have personally heard an officer I know say something just blatantly racist and the context in which it was said was even worse. I've heard another officer use a code name for afro-Canadians and similarly made a disparaging comment. I was absolutely horrified with what he said. Of course, I know many great officers-they're a big force and the job takes its toll on their psyche. So, while I am not fully up to speed on BIPOC's current efforts, I do support efforts to raise awareness and push for change. Blocking an intersection is not altogether different than marching the streets for climate change whcih also blocks traffic.

I also thought comparing Anti Vax protests to these ones a really bad take by watson. He got royally burned on that tweet from a number of others too. I almost feel like watson is losing his ability to appeal to a wide audience-something he was so good at. I don't know if its the issues themselves or a change in approach or maybe he's just grown very tired of doing the dance he was so good at doing.
