They are going to ramp up their efforts to make this thing turn violent.
Is that turning out "well"? No.
But they are painting themselves into a corner, and the world is watching. They desperately need to rationalize their authoritarianism.
And unlike China, they have no ability to memory hole the violence when it comes. The CCP made China "forget" about Tienanmen Square.
That will not happen with Rideau Centre.
Folks here aren't forgetting January 6 or Ashley Babbitt. Folks won't forget Ottawa either.
