Well, these are strange times, and I'm sure the Forum will welcome your humility. I sure do, by the way, welcome!
Anyways, I feel this is really a question that you must consider yourself. The situation has intensified today (Thursday afternoon and evening) with more direct police action and large squad deployments, multiple arrests including leaders (mostly for mischief accusations, locked up hours to maybe a few days), they tried towing a truck or two and mostly failed, but some of the outlying truckers felt over-threatened and left, others relocated to the main group and still intend to hold the line.
You have to realize the likelihood of conflict escalation is going way up into the weekend. I skipped through some livestreams a couple hours ago and the situation could already have changed dramatically, at any time. But the way Trudeau behaves, I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking ahead to a bigger audience to escalate his show of force. It might be an interesting time to witness, but certainly on the higher end of the risk-benefit spectrum and in opposition to strategic enclosure. Not that I respect mine, anyways - big data knows who we are, VPN or not. So even though I still speak up online, I'd have to consider going to Ottawa differently - putting yourself on an entirely different level of risk.
What is it that you'd hope to achieve by going there? I wouldn't think it would be rational to expect anything special from .gov. Most on this board would also remind you that our expectations do not fit in the service-to-others orientation. So I'm sure if the intention was to be of service, meeting people, providing support in some way, and you felt genuinely called to go, I'd say go on right ahead - but your intention does not seem that clear to me, and you have charges that might cause trouble to others if you were to leave indeterminately - now that police make arrests more offensively. That would be my primary matter of reflection. Would going there solve more problems that it caused in the aggregate. Is there somewhere more local where you could invest your time and energy?
After all, I'd like to praise the lifestyle that you are describing. By being self-sufficient, or even simply by working towards that goal, you are withdrawing power from the centralized authorities, you are already doing an important part, being a settler on the edge of decentralization. I respect that. A step on the path of the Obyvatel. So I'd much rather know that you were working to have more stable preps, to sustain yourself with decency, than putting yourself at risk going into the heat of it.
In the end, it's really for you to consider. But if you choose to go, don't expect that your going there will change anything. There should be cool people to meet, tho!
