The man who was filming is of minor celebrity during this event. If you go back in his youtube channel you will see he is a fireman who was fired for not taking the clot shot and he decided to make a youtube channel about that. A professional speaking out and he got some attention a few months ago. Good on him for filming this. He played it perfectly. What you may not notice is that in Canada (as opposed to Australia) many of the police are actually on our side and many others are on the fence and do not want to be the one cop who makes the news for any reason. I strongly suspect that the military is almost fully on the side of the people as well as most of them are good white men still. The government probably can not depend on the police to do any large action at this point in time. What we saw in Windsor yesterday actually didn't have a lot of police and they were lenient on the protestors. Some were arrested but many were given a lot of chances to leave. The protesters did very well in Windsor. Got a lot of great video with veterans standing up. A strategic retreat for now with the government not knowing which boarder or transport choke point they will pop up again. Cops will be living life on the road for the next while.
