2. First a few things I caught before but didn't post.

First, Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First believes because he was on a far-right video stream which attracts far-right listeners that they are "inevitable."

Folks, classic example of the echo chamber at work.

2. So I left off talking about Pat King's stream last night and though it was a bit later in the clip, Pat actually used they "I have a Jewish" lawyer argument to "prove" he isn't a racist.

I love the uncomfortable silence of his guests.

2. I was sent this yesterday. It is a clip of another occupier that catches Pat King in a conversation.

Pat said he was sick but got better. He then adds that this is "survival of the fittest" which is an odious suggestion that those who die are not fit to live.
3. Now I don't want to focus a lot on Pat King, but he did post a "patrol" video last night.

3. So last night I downloaded Pat King's latest video. As an illustration of how unhinged it was, let me show you one of screen captures from it.

It really is representative of what you will see throughout.

3. So yesterday I listened to a Twitter Spaces meeting and Q&A with some of the leadership including BJ Dichter. It was an often acrimonious discussion, much related to the letter Tamara Lich and @JimWatsonOttawa negotiated. Suffice it to say there is dissention.

3. So it seems that there is also now a protest delaying traffic at the Ottawa airport.

If this if the "freedoming" Pat King was referring to last night, then weak.

3. Last night Pat King did a stream. This one was a little different in that it he claimed that he was blowing the lid off a massive conspiracy.

Note, what he describes isn't a conspiracy.

2. Unlike Pat King, I have to go to work so I won't be back to this until much later tonight, however based on the web cam screen shot of Parliament Hill from 9:36 est, it looks like a lot of others might have gone home.
3. Not a lot happened after I went to bed (I don't think ), but here are a few things that happened in the early morning.

First, Ed Jamnisek, the charismatic mofo whom I'm surprised doesn't fall asleep from the sound of his own voice, is perplexed

2. So let's get right into it.

It doesn't show everything and what I can see is a large crowd, but it certainly doesn't look like the 500,000 to 1.4 million the participants claimed would be there (one random person believed there would be 3.5 million, or close to 10% of Canada). 2/
So far people on the ground have noted Diagalon and Canada First flags and at least one person in a Soldiers of Odin vest.

We also see a Canada First supporter dressed for a "peaceful" demonstration. 3/
