My take on this:
"We have increased ability to identify and target protesters and supporters of protesters, who are funding and enabling unlawful and harmful activity by the protesters themselves."
->This is a loaded statement. It assumes "unlawful and harmful activity" which has not been named or referenced. This frightening statement refers to "target[ting] ... supporters of protesters, who are funding or enabling" this. So if you donated to the GoFundMe fundraiser which had $9 million dollars robbed from it, you're a terrorist now.
"Investigative evidence-gathering teams are collecting financial, digital, vehicle registration, driver identification, insurance status, and other related evidence that will be used in prosecutions."
->The police are out vacuuming up evidence.
"Every unlawful act, including traffic and insurance violations, will be fully pursued, regardless of the origin, at any time in the future. The primary focus of each of these measures will be on the unlawful behaviour connected to the ongoing demonstrations. This includes parallel and counter demonstrations. We strongly urge all demonstrators, those engaging with the demonstrators, to act lawfully, peacefully and respectfully."
->That's fine. No one likes a law-breaker, especially when he's running the country.
"The hatred, the violence, the illegal acts, that Ottawa residences and businesses have endured over the last week, is unacceptable in any circumstance. The Ottawa Police Service and the City of Ottawa are bringing significantly greater resources to restore order, hold offenders to account and protect our neighbourhoods."
->What hatred? What violence? Go swing a microphone and find a victim to complain; it won't be hard.
"The current demonstration in the Parliamentary Precinct Red Zone remains unresolved, despite significant successes in reducing the number of Trucks and Demonstrators, while preventing riots, injuries or deaths."
->The protest is still there despite Police attempting to hamstring it. NO RIOTS, NO INJURIES, NO DEATHS. Trying very hard not to say "peaceful".
"We take no solace in these operational successes to date; our goal is to end the demonstration."
->FIXED: "We are not grateful at all about no injuries or deaths. Our goal is to ignore the electorate and violate the constitution fully and thoroughly."
"The demonstrators in the Red Zone area remain highly organized, well-funded, extremely committed to resisting all attempts to end the demonstration safely."
->Damn right they're organized. End the mandates, and they'll go home. That's pretty safe.
"This remains, as it was from the beginning, an increasingly volatile and increasingly dangerous demonstration."
->BS.
