Protesters have blocked access to the Thousand Islands Bridge as families return home after the Family Day long weekend.
 
The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority says traffic restrictions to Canada are in effect due to protesters on the Canadian span of the bridge crossing.
 
In a message on Twitter, Ontario Provincial Police announced Highway 137 is closed in the Lansdowne area, including access from Highway 401 eastbound and westbound and access to the United States.

How thoughtful of the OPP to step up to the plate with volunteer traffic control. Mighty neighborly.

How’s that Liberal government workin’ out for ya?

Businesses and homes across Atlantic Canada are days away from running out of propane as a result of anti-pipeline protests that have cut off rail links across Canada.
 
Ian Wilson, president of Halifax-based Wilson Fuel, said his company is rationing propane by partially filling customers’ tanks.
 
“If we just filled everybody’s tank on delivery, we’d be looking at outages today,” he said in an interview Friday.

Question: If you’re stuck in traffic during an illegal protest, will police still ticket you for sending a text?

With that question asked and answered, I believe it’s time for our own blockade. No more voluntary fine payments: take every parking ticket, every traffic violation, every petty bylaw infraction to court until the police, politicians, and judiciary in this country agree to return to work.

The Hill;

The Golden Globes announced Thursday that the menu for attendees at this year’s awards show will not include meat.
 
In a statement to The Associated Press, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which hosts the Globes, said that the decision was made to draw attention to the connection between Americans’ diets and climate change.
 
“If there’s a way we can, not change the world, but save the planet, maybe we can get the Golden Globes to send a signal and draw attention to the issue about climate change,” HFPA President Lorenzo Soria told the AP. “The food we eat, the way we grow the food we eat, the way we dispose of the food is one of the large contributors to the climate crisis.”

And then they climbed the stairs to their private jets and flew away…

Do not pass slough…

Trenton-area farmer Brian Crews was taking down trees, working what he still believes is a woodlot, to expand his crops, when the notice from the Lower Trent Conservation Authority arrived at the farmgate. He was ordered to stop work immediately. Two CA officers had responded to a complaint and, looking over from a neighbouring property, noted that the woodlot was a wetland.
 
It was the first time Crews learned that part of his land was considered wetland and he’s not happy about it. He’s also not alone. Many landowners are finding out their land is a wetland while developing it. What’s worse is that this problem has been going on for at least a decade.
 
On Sept. 29, Waterloo Region rural landowner Jason Geil was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $30,000, after using a dump truck and bulldozer to fill an area on his own property. It was the first time a landowner in Ontario was sent to jail for flouting the wetland designation.

Feckless: Paying up comes easy when it’s somebody else’s money

The Senate of Canada will not appeal a court ruling that found the upper house violated a francophone man’s language rights by utilizing English-only push-buttons on Parliament Hill drinking fountains.
 
The Federal Court last week ordered the Senate to pay former public servant Michel Thibodeau $1,500 in damages and to cover his $700 in court costs.
 
Mr. Thibodeau complained in 2016 that water fountains in the hallways of Parliament Hill’s East Block – which houses some Senate offices and committee rooms and is open for public tours during the summer – required thirsty folk to push a metal button embossed with the word “push.”
 
Some even included that instruction in braille, but none included the French word “poussez.”
