Time for follow up on the thread re: La Crete Chamber sending a bus to #Ottawa on February 13 well after it was known the protest was not peaceful or lawful, with plans to meet with their MP @ArnoldViersen

Andrew F, who was on the bus, updated the Chamber's posts about their timeline and also the group had a "very good meeting" with MP @ArnoldViersen. This was on Feb. 17, after #Ontario declared a state of emergency and the #EmergenciesAct was in place.

Their MP wasn't the only "famous face" they met; Barbie H, who appears to also be part of the La Crete Chamber group from her posts on the Mackenzie County Freedom Rally 2022 Facebook Group, is pictured here with #OttawaSiege organizers Danny Bulford and Chris Barber.

1/6 In case people think my statements that there are dark, anti-democratic elements hiding behind ordinary protestors at the #ottawasiege are the wild imaginings of a mad social scientist, I offer a small sample of anonymized emails+ voicemails I have received only this weekend:
2A/6 "You are no longer a citizen. You're an Enemy Combatant. That's how you'll be treated. You're right about one thing, the reverberation aspect, but you're wrong about the Truckers going back to Ottawa, they're the least of your worries..."
2B/6...The ones you should worry about don't go to protests, don't go on facebook or twitter. When the truckers go home, these more sadistic types will certainly go looking for trouble, and it'll be with pieces of sh** like you.
A Tale of Two Blockades
Not long ago in 2020, Conservative politicians were foaming at the mouth about "illegal" blockades in Canada. I guess they think we're too stupid to recall their own words.
Please join me on a trip down hypocrisy lane!

Let's start with interim CPC leader, Candice Bergen, who was "disturbed" by police enforcing laws today. She was 👌 with a lengthy #OttawaSiege, and even enjoyed pizza with protestors. Far cry from the impatient rule of law advocate we saw in Feb 2020.
Wonder what changed...🤔

Next up, former CPC leader Andrew Scheer. He had nothing but thumbs up for the #FluTruxClan but once upon a time, when he was still leader of the opposition, he was adamant that Trudeau act to end illegal blockades. Someone's had a change of heart!

We have members across Canada impacted by the #ottawaseige as well the blockades at the international crosses. They are not able go to work and are losing wages.

Since September 2010, we have lobbied our parliamentarians over 1400X. We have cultivated healthy relationships with Parliamentarians on Parliament Hill. We care about our MPs and Senator.
Media framing of ongoing events in Ottawa & elsewhere in Canada as a protest against Covid-19 public health measures is misleading. The journalists do so in this article do & so does a lot of the coverage. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic… #EmergenciesAct #OttawaSiege
The #OttawaSiege, #AmbassadorBridgeblockade #Coutts were not conceived of or organized by those opposed to public health-related restrictions, eg. vax mandates, etc., but by a hardcore, long-standing group of rightwing extremists in Canada w/ US & int'l support. 2/
That core group that conceived & put these events in motion have subsequently been bubble-wrapped by other protestors who are NOT extremists. Some of the latter have claims that fall well w/i the bounds of legitimate protest. Others are using these events to put their long- 3/
Tales from the puppy park & another night under #OttawaSiege. Early on in #OttawaOccupied a neighbour had just finished her jog when she faced 2 thugs demanding that she remove her mask, or else. They were fighting for her freedom, didn't she get it?
Tale #2: I'm now familiar w/ specific trucks. On the way home, 2 were filling petrol cans @ the nearby gas station, likely for delivery to Parliament Hill. There was s/t different this time, tho: there were no CDN flags flapping in the wind, but the flag shafts were still there.
I see this everyday now. I normally smile & say hello to my neighbours, but not these thugs marauding about my city. More tales tomorrow. Stay tuned for live in city under siege.
Incoming monster thread: y'day my @Carleton colleague @leahwest_nsl argued the Govt “must believe the protests rise to the level of a national emergency” to invoke the #EmergenciesAct for the 1st time since its creation by a @CPC_HQ Govt in 1988 1/X
While #natsec law is outside my wheelhouse of expertise, my work regularly bumps up against such issues & has forever focused on Qs about coms, society & democracy. As such, I want to weigh in with a few thoughts of my own & hope that I have something worthwhile to say. 2/x
TLDR: While I disagree w/ her provisional conclusion, I do agree that we must be very vigilant that this precedent setting use of the #EmergenciesAct remains ltd in time, targeted in terms of geography, subject to Parliamentary review & snuggled tightly within the 3/
I said this yesterday & I’ll reiterate. The groups behind this op WANT strong-arm tactics. They’ve been saying 🇨🇦 is “an authoritarian country”. They’ve been telegraphing how they’ll play this. Toxic “Rebel” disinformationists accidentally reveal what their aims are. #FluTruxClan
The backers of this op & their chaos agents, want a giant propaganda opportunity by having the military haul off their Brownshirt shock troops, oops I mean, salt of the earth, give you the shirt off their backs “truckers”.

A better strategy (although slower), would be handing out mounting & accumulating fines. Towing vehicles, insurance companies canceling their insurance, citizens boycotting businesses that donated, making politicians like Poilievre & Bergen wear what their seditious acts #cdnpoli
Quick math indicates that about 60% of donors are foreign (56% of those are from the US), representing about 49% of the $.

Mad about Ottawa Police inaction #OttawaSiege?
Who is in charge of the Ottawa Police and is the boss of @OPSChiefSloly? Who sets firm deadline and policy for him to enforce? @dianedeans of the Ottawa Police Service Board. 1

@OPSChiefSloly reports to the board and shall obey its lawful orders and directions. R.S.O. 1990, c. P.15, s. 41 (2). Chair @dianedeans and the board are responsible for “the provision of adequate and effective police services in the municipality and shall, 2
(c) establish policies for the effective management of the police force; (e) direct the chief of police and monitor his or her performance; Police Service Act: 31 (1) Police Service Act. Since Chair @dianedeans is not acting, can the other police board members do so? 3
As the rhetoric of police intervention ramps up, it's important to remember that the police used this situation to expand their powers so that, when Indigenous/BLM comes in to protest, they can shut it down immediately /1
The police have successfully pressured the Ford government to begin passing and implementing 'Essential Infrastructure Bills' which work to protect capital, not citizens /2
DoFo said himself that he is going to use the emergency declaration to immediately pass these bills while planning on maintaining them after this situation is resolved, whatever that looks like /3

Hearing @Yasir_Naqvi read emails from residents was hard to listen to. The residents of #ottawa are living in a literal hell zone. I wish he could post these for all to read. Mind you the truckers would probably call them fake...

My first time listening to .@RaquelDancho - she's hitting the nail on the head with some points (no response from elected officials) and quite well spoken. Might not agree with her party's policies all the time but I'm impressed - future party leader?

I know in #Alberta, hundreds of constituents have written their UCP MLA's & no response. Multiple letters and either no response or finally one, but it's a copy and paste push off - nothing to address their personalized concerns. The frustration does make sense.

In terms of @RaquelDancho saying ppl losing jobs b/c of the vaccine; if employers want to put these measures into place that is their choice. As it's a choice if workers choose not to get vaccinated - or pee in a cup for drug/alcohol tests for the jobs that require it.

Man, it's too bad gas and diesel don't have a clearly discernable odour which differentiates them from water, or this would be trivial to deal with.

I drained my generator's fuel tank this weekend and had to douse my hands in vinegar to get the smell off, guess I was just imagining that, too bad.
If the cops "don't know" there isn't water in them, they also "don't know" there isn't booze, in what is an inherently open container. They could stop folks and ask to smell it.
They can act; they just won't.

I have literally soooooooo much evidence from their official telegram that the freedom convoy is a massive front for alt right extremism as a global movement and it all leads back to the trump effect. I mean General Flynn is sending support to the organizers on telegram ffs
I really just want this to be exposed before the CPC and PPC become the GQP because that’s where Canada is headed if this isn’t taken seriously for what it is. #OttawaOccupation #CouttsCrisis is Canadas January 6th at the core
Even 45 references this at his rally! Pay attention if you don’t want Canada to turn into an alt right cesspool where it’s okay that Nazis desecrate our war heroes and people try and and excuse it as “bad apples” in the name of freedom.
