Ottawa police released the full ride plan for Rolling Thunder to back their decision to close dozens of downtown blocks to vehicles aligned with the motorcycle ride. The event organizers are trying to distance themselves from the anti-mask set planning to descend at the same time. It adds up to rumblings of a sequel.

Obviously, this can’t stop the hot takes and requests to restore banned accounts. CBC’s The National portraying a doomsday inspired its very own rebuke in the Financial Post:
