From the comments;
"ctv newsnet just reporting that some "geenpeacers" have chained themselves to 24 Sussex Drive.. PMSH and family, being "held hostage", as Marcia McMillan LAUGHINGLY reports! Bob Fife says RCMP having trouble getting chains removed, and PMSH may not make it to the House, for reading of the budget. Hmm anyone have any ideas on how to remove these idiots"

Posted by: Syncrodox at March 19, 2007 11:15 AMJust leave them there.
Protesters rely upon the establishment to do the right thing. Change the rules on them.
They chained themselves up, so let them get themselves free.
Also, set up a barricade to prevent their friends from helping them. That would teach them a lesson.
Am I being too harsh?
While they're quite laughable, what is behind the slogan isn't; the next escalation of the enviro wackos who basically consider capitalism criminal. Funny how these lefties find common grounds with wacko right wing Islamist fascists.
Posted by: Shamrock at March 19, 2007 11:23 AMPeople on the far left these days are so convinced of the righteousness of the cause, so arrogant in their beliefs, that they think they have license to break laws that others are obliged to keep, and to silence those that they disagree with.
They don't just believe that they are correct. They believe that they are so correct that society need not tolerate other opinions.
It seems ironic that those on the far left are so ... fascist.

Posted by: Mugs at March 19, 2007 11:25 AMIt is indeed sad for journalism that these incompetents are allowed to try and spin a nothing incident into a major story.
Posted by: Kyoto Kid at March 19, 2007 11:28 AMhmmm...when you say "these idiots" are you referring to McMillan and Fife, the "chain gang" or both?
Posted by: Linda at March 19, 2007 11:31 AMKeeping an elected member of Parliament from attending Parliament SHOULD be considered an extreme crime and punished as such.
Since this will never happen, I would suggest running current through the steel fence. We would of course buy carbon credits for the electricity...

Posted by: Stephen at March 19, 2007 11:35 AMMy friend and I used itching powder on the class bully's bed on a high school trip to Quebec City. Judging by the swearing - seemed like pretty potent stuff.
Posted by: Peter Jay at March 19, 2007 11:36 AMSo should I avoid the Rockcliffe Parkway on the way home tonight as passsing by 24 Sussex with these clowns will surely add to the traffic slowdown in this area or perhaps I can exercise my freedon of speech, roll down my window and yell at the clowns. They're chained so no fear of the moonbats chasing me down as my car idles in front PMSH's place!
Posted by: FedUp at March 19, 2007 11:39 AMDouse them with a bottle of "Morning Breeze" stink perfume that you can get at San Francisco stores. A delightful combo of urine smell, B.O. and bad breath, all in one!
Posted by: Soccermom at March 19, 2007 11:39 AMChanneling Montgomery Burns...
Release the hounds!!
sure, cut sections out of the fence where the protesters have attached themselves and leave them to carry the cut out section around ! charge them for the damages and just for good measure, fill the padlocks with crazy glue so the key won't fit in!
Posted by: Carl at March 19, 2007 11:42 AMOr just leave them there it is going down to -10 tonight and Harper should just stroll by. Or leave via helicopter.....
Posted by: Stephen at March 19, 2007 11:46 AMI was going to suggest "douse them with water and let their tender, loving, caring Mother Nature do the rest," but the CP newsfeed site states that the chains have already been cut using a grinder and five activists have been arrested.
Darn. I was so looking forward to "Greenpeace corpsicles." ;-)
Posted by: Garth Wood at March 19, 2007 11:54 AMThey've already been cut loose - and Harper wasn't inside at the time.

In the 60s The CIA had fun releasing STD infected crabs and fleas into anti-government sit-in protests.
Bit heavey for me...I'd just take pity on them going all that time without food or drink and offer them an exlax-laced Starbuks...nothing gets you mobile like a good high colonic ;-)
Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at March 19, 2007 11:56 AMHow about spraying them with some hippie-strength mace. They will be more than happy to leave the area if it gets too irritating.

Sharks with frikkin laser beams... (pinky to lip)
Posted by: Texas Canuck at March 19, 2007 12:00 PMrubber bullets?
I know I am usually against their use. but properly used to disperse a crowd.... just keep firing till they are dispersed (hope they remembered to forget the keys)
Posted by: Barcs at March 19, 2007 12:05 PMnorthbaytrapper had the right idea!Carbon credits people..you need to be eco-friendly when dealing with these idiots.I also like the red ants idea.along with a good smearing of some tasty canadian honey!
Posted by: Sammy at March 19, 2007 12:06 PMAll of the above.
Posted by: B. Hoax Aware at March 19, 2007 12:11 PMOf course the reason the hippies pull stunts like this is for coverage in the press.
Our beloved MSM is the real problem.
Posted by: B. Hoax Aware at March 19, 2007 12:13 PMBring in a chainsaw and a baby seal.
Threaten to drop the tree right onto the seal.
That'll get'em going right quick.
Posted by: M at March 19, 2007 12:18 PMM1: You just gave me a great idea for an invention. An anti-hippie package... it contains, hmmmm, an Andy Williams CD (no offense Andy), a can of Lysol, Zest soap, a clean t-shirt that says I Love Big Oil.
Posted by: Linda at March 19, 2007 12:20 PMBTW, the only people they locked down were the staff at the PM residence. The family was already gone. Note to protesters, you can't sleep in, the working people are way ahead of you.
Posted by: Shamrock at March 19, 2007 12:24 PMThe police should provide their OWN locks & chains....double chain the idiots and walk away.
Posted by: Nemo2 at March 19, 2007 12:30 PMIt would be sad if it rained. Late winter rains can be so chilly.
Posted by: shaken at March 19, 2007 12:35 PMThe media are saying the RCMP will have some explaining to do how this can happen.
Their explanation is simple in that their hands are tied by the dogooders of this country who shout police brutality at the drop of the hat.
The RCMP should have used their tasers to disperse this unruly mob instead of mounting a costly bill for taxpayers and inconveniencing a lot of people.
Why take the effort to remove them? Just leave them there until they get bored and go home.

you owe me a new keyboard :) :) :)
Posted by: Fred at March 19, 2007 12:39 PMFred:
The British police offer drinks (e.g. coffee, orange juice) to protestors that they would like to disperse. Lots of drinks. As much as the protestors would like, and more.
External pressure is not nearly as effective as internal pressure.
Posted by: rabbit at March 19, 2007 12:48 PMThey sure are begging for an itch to scratch. A good
shot of itching powder down their backs and into their cracks would send them off doing the twist and shake. Why they may even have to take a bath or shower, talk about punishment!
Something else to ponder, were they wearing diapers?
Doubt they'd have access to toilet facilities in that area.
I'm with jgriffin.
The greencommies crave attention. The police should erect a tarpaulin around the them so that our curious "press" cannot access them. Then leave a two police detail to ensure that their buddys cannot remove the tarpaulin.
If there is an urgent need to remove the protestors it could easily be accomplished with a garden hose and liberal use of cold water.
Re my earlier comment to douse them with "Morning Breeze" (a delightful combo of urine odor, B.O. and bad breath). Alas, they probably already smell like that so it's not gonna work! They wouldn't even notice it.
Since they are also probably vegans, how setting up a BBQ and have some stetson-wearing Westerners do some up some steaks about 10 feet away from them. That will scare them off for sure.
Posted by: Soccermom at March 19, 2007 1:08 PMFor this issue that "millions are on their side" for..
They were only able to get 3 people on camera chained to the fence??? I'm convinced...lmao
Posted by: Barcs at March 19, 2007 1:10 PMChain all the dogs at the local pound to their chain.
Posted by: richfisher at March 19, 2007 1:24 PMThey could have simply told them David Suzuki was signing autographs in Ottawa's downtown market...failing that I like the idea of soaking them in water and letting global warming dry them off...
Posted by: Mr Ed at March 19, 2007 1:26 PMApparently Harper was already on the Hill by the time they chained themselves to the gate
http://www.thestar.com/News/article/193573
Given half a chance one could make cutting that chain quite a memorable experience for the protesters. Big 7" grinder howling away inches from tender fingers, insane cackling and a bit of wild eyed drooling, maybe a broken grinding wheel or two (lots of flying pieces!) and some misdirected sparks...
Yes, I'm sure I'd come up with something. ~:D
Posted by: The Phantom at March 19, 2007 1:56 PMI think this is just the right tool for the job.
Posted by: Paul Canniff at March 19, 2007 2:09 PMI like the tarp idea, surrounded by yellow tape, Crime scene, do not cross. Should have left them alone till they themselves decided to get free. No food, no water, no bathroom breaks. Then fine them for urinating in public.
What will these idiots do next. Imagine, in 30 yrs or more, these pics showing up again, and some young child saying, is that really you grandma, being so stupid.
Use the same charge that brought down the Rainbow Warrior
Posted by: Norm Shanahan at March 19, 2007 3:12 PMSince the newspaper link bore absolutely no resemblance to the comments and CTV has nothing about the story on the website is it possible that Sammy was resorting to a little hyperbole?
PMSH was already on the Hill and the police cut the chains off - hardly a "hostage " situation.
remove everything and get the PM to do his job
Posted by: jmorrison at March 19, 2007 3:24 PMJust a thought. If we can become carbon neutral by purchasing credits from people or groups that don't use carbon, can we then buy credits from people who have not committed murder, so if we commit murder, we can be murder neutral?
Posted by: Peter at March 19, 2007 3:30 PMkevink..I wrote that prior to the info that PMSH was out of residence..the conv.between Marcia,and Fife was a little too lite-hearted for my liking,and YES,Marcia,did laughingly refer to PMSH and family being"held hostage"..it was not hyperbole,just the facts,as I heard them.I in no way found this situation humorous,and thot it innappropriate,for ctv newscaster,to make joke about situation before knowing that PMSH,and his family were out of 24 Sussex.I stick to the facts,when posting info here...as I appreciate the level of intelligent response,the tongue-in-cheek humor,and the compassion and support I rec'd last yr.when a family member was going thru tough time.If you have a problem with truth..too bad!I trust majority of SDA"family"and respect their input.
Posted by: Sammy at March 19, 2007 3:49 PMThey represented a credible terrorist threat. As such they should have been shot as soon as they attempted to lock themselves to the gates. You never know what some group is carrying, it could have easily been a suicide bombing run.
Try this stunt at 1600 Penn Ave and you are going home without your head.
It is far past time to deal with terrorists and traitors like the violent scum that they are. No quarter!
Posted by: Hey at March 19, 2007 4:50 PMHey: That's a bit overboard.
"Try this stunt at 1600 Penn Ave and you are going home without your head."
Just the other day a man climbed the fence to the White House (disgruntled...you pick a reason) and was arrested without incident.
They should be arrested for disturbing the peace.
Run a herd of skunks by em!!!
Posted by: Revnant Dream at March 19, 2007 4:59 PMIt kinda figures that these dumbbells would show up for their big moment after the PM had already left the house. And the solution's obvious really: just leave them there and see how they like March nights in Ottawa. The media will get bored in a day or so because this is a very overplayed stunt, and you can only keep yourself warm for so long by wailing We Shall Overcome for hour after bloody hour. Arresting them was basically just giving them the conclusion they wanted.
Posted by: geoff W. at March 19, 2007 5:12 PMThey don't even let people BUSK in front of that fence.
Posted by: Saskboy at March 19, 2007 5:37 PMSlap another padlock on the chan and lose the key.
Posted by: Joe Bergman at March 19, 2007 6:56 PMSlap another padlock on the chan and lose the key.
Posted by: DrWoof at March 19, 2007 6:57 PMChained, huh? Could start by pulling their pants down. From there it could get real interesting.
Posted by: a different Bob at March 19, 2007 7:12 PMHow about some liquid ass? Mind you... they probably wouldn't smell a whole lot different anyway. :P

Posted by: Bruce at March 19, 2007 7:56 PMmake them watch 12 yrs of reruns of ex-PM's PM and JC making promises to control their precious global warming. ignorant people make me ill.
Posted by: kelly at March 19, 2007 10:19 PMI remember a couple of greenpeacers storming Ralph Klein's house in Calgary.
they were on his roof! and his wife Colleen was home alone!! no charges laid from I recall
Sustained automatic weapons fire anyone? The devil made me do it.
I think that probably the best idea is to take away the keys and leave them there for a few days. Mind you the histrionics would be Academy winning, do doubt.
Posted by: Pat at March 20, 2007 2:38 AMI would suggest using an oxyacetylene torch to cut the chains with the cuts made close to the chained limb. Might result in some heat damage to the protestors, but it would probably make them much less likely to do this again in the future (also harder for them to do when they're missing hands/feet to chain themselves to objects). Making actions like this have consequences is the best way to stop these idiots.
I vote Kate for RCMP Commish...
Posted by: vf at March 21, 2007 12:46 PM....'cuz I kuke the red ants idea.

"I like the red ants idea"
"Run a herd of skunks by em!!!"
Why punish the skunks?
Posted by ZiLLa :
Good point. I never thought the harmless creatures could have been "out-skunked" by this hydrophobic looking chained crew. My immediate apologies for the heartlessness of the suggestion.
Posted by: Revnant Dream at March 21, 2007 8:28 PMTheir always doing realy stupid things at GREENPEACE thats becuase greenpeace is stupid and so is anyone who has anything to do with greenpeace
