This convoy was led to Ottawa by Pat King who believed the only way this was going to be stopped was with bullets & a massive revolution.
For all those who say or dont think Pat King helped organize this #TruckerConvoy. He sure believes he has, Watch this video of him meeting with Tamara Lich (Jan 21/22 Pat King's FB page) leader of the so called #FreedomConvoy
If you followed #FreedomConvoy, even supported it, did you really understand danger it poses to Canada? Maybe you waved away extremist elements, saying just a few "bad apples". You'd be deluding yourself. It's time to scratch below the surface, start here:

Those various flags seen throughout the protest. They weren't one-offs or bad apples, they were embedded in the protest from the start. You saw them:
#Trump flags, Confederate flags, 3% flags, &, yes, Swastika flags (if you have one Nazi in a crowd, you've got a crowd of Nazis).

Think this is an exaggeration? Maybe start to examine what's actually driving these groups. Organizers of #TruckConvoy have a history of extremist views, from #Wexit to disgusting racist bigotry and hatred. It wasn't hidden, you just ignored it.

Ok. It looks like THIS will be my thread for the Tamara Lich hearing. There's an audio test going on now, things seem to be working properly. Let's leave the other thread as an archive to the hubris of mankind.

For background, Tamara Lich was denied bail, along with Pat King and George Billings. Another major player, Chris Barber, was granted bail.
Reasonable bail is a charter right, not to be denied without just cause.

Ok, we are now in session. We're not getting a warning about the recording of the proceeding from the registrar. I believe this is likely to have no effect.
Ok, here begins my live tweeting thread of the #billingsbail hearing. As usual, no I won't share the link with you, if you do have access don't livestream it like last time.
Last week Justice Hackett adjourned w/o deciding.

It only gets worse.
The crowd closes in on our unmarked Global News vehicle.
Tough to drive out. We’re caught between an angry crowd and a ditch.

The protesters surround our vehicle and start banging on it. One man spits at our window.
Police have to push crowd back so we can try and get out.
We finally do.

Even @ScienceInsider is waffling in the hede: “some scientists”
With a nod to politics rather than public health by including a political scientist near the top.
NO quotes from public health arguing to open things up.

I will be voting against the Prime Minister’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act. In his own words the Prime Minister has said that the invocation of the Emergencies Act is not something to be done as a first or second resort

yesterday Justin Trudeau threw another temper tantrum in the House of Commons and walked out. His 4th time since last Monday. Unacceptable behaviour that is cowardly and weak
In my live @WIONews interview with major TV news channel in India, I said that #TruckersConvoy protest against #vaccination mandates continues in center of #Ottawa. I live near Canadian parliament & can see that major streets near parliament were blocked by trucks.
In my live @WIONews TV interview, I said that #TruckerConvoy protest is main political event not only in #Ottawa but also in Canada. Ottawa has reputation of quiet city in spite of having more than 1 million residents & being capital city of Canada.
Go get them pierre. Our next prime minister. Thanks to all of the truckers. Without you none of this would of happened @OmarAlghabra instagram.com/reel/CZwsXCdgz…

Powerful words from @RaquelDancho.
