Does a municipal government have the authority and legality to do this? What about companies with mandatory drug/alcohol testing? @CBCEdmonton @ctvedmonton @CityNewsYEG @edmontonjournal @globeandmail @GlobalEdmonton you might want to look into this

@Mitchell_AB @KikkiPlanet @TheBreakdownAB @duncankinney -
Know anyone who may be able to answer if a Municipality can institute such a “rule”?
Just to follow this up, this County and some of it’s small towns are among the lowest vaccination rates in Alberta.

And while this area also claims to be untouched by covid, the statistics don’t lie.

Buckle up, it's time for a wild ride into #FluTrucksKlan Twitter. 🧵

Just under 100K tweets using pro-convoy hashtags were collected. Since that's far too much text to read and analyze, I built a bi-term topic model to distill the content of the tweets down into 70 topics.

1/
The topic model assumes that:
1. that tokens (words/hashtags/@) that co-occur in tweets are more likely to belong to the same topic;
2. each tweet represents one or more topics;
3. each user's body of tweets is a mixture of topics.

2/
Other notes:
The dataset is mostly pro-convoy (I'd estimate around 95%) tweets, though there are some anti-convoy posters represented because it's super difficult to filter them out completely based on hashtags and keywords.

Trucker in the #Ottawa zello channel saying they took his kids.

Convoy east says police would have no problem going door to door for jews; calls them nazis.

I can hear what the protestors call the "mainstream media" in the background of some of these guys' zellos 🤷‍♀️

Another trucker: "I would start doing donuts and start knocking them down like bowling pins" (referring to cops).

So peaceful.

The Convoy to Ottawa chat is missing some trolls... Just an FYI

Here’s another more detailed map of the locations of the leaked donor data from #GiveSendGo. (ICYMI, hackers froze the “trucker convoy” donations temporarily & leaked donor info. Significant amounts looking suspiciously inauthentic). #FluTruxKlan app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjo…
Some interesting ones that stand out to me. Especially the clusters from Calgary, running up highway 2 to Edmonton. #FluTrucksKlan #TraitorConvoy2022 #ABleg #YEG #yyc #BCpoli #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage

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

Just going to make a new thread of my chat screengrabs. These are from Windsor Convoy 2. #FluTruxKlanGoHome #FluTrucksKlan #KarenConvoy2022
They are talking about getting a PA system down to the Windsor occupiers do they can sing O Canada together. 🤣😂
Main organizers are not using radios at all in Windsor. They are just using in person word of mouth.

What the actual F??? Is this racist unhinged lunatic actually suggesting that explosives be unleashed? WTF? Tell me the political right hasn’t gone all in for fascism. #OttawaOccupation #FluTruxKlan #OttawaConvoy @rcmpgrcpolice #ONpoli
Given that @OttawaPolice announced earlier today that weapons were coming into this “convoy”. And AFTER that, Hillier tweets out images of fuel & bombs? #OttawaOccupation #OttawaConvoy #FluTruxKlan

🇨🇦🚔🛩️ With the Ontario Provincial Police #OPP circling the anti-vax rally today, I figured I should make a thread about what we can tease out of the behaviour of their surveillance Cessna, and if any of that can be applied to other aircraft in the fleet. 🧵
First, consult the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register (CCAR), and search using the name the OPP has their aircraft registered under:

"Province Of Ontario, Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services"

Now you have a list of all their aircraft. 👍
wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/…
Pop that in a spreadsheet for later, and use the registration numbers to hand-roll a search for the aircraft using #ADSBexchange.

🧵Want to know how protests like today's #FluTrucksKlan benefit alt-right extremists? Here's some 101 on how hat operates.

First, they pick an issue that has reached a boiling point. In this case, it's the pandemic and health mandates. They know a lot of people are exhausted.
1/
But it's not REALLY about health mandates or truckers. We know this because:
1. the US has the same vaccine restrictions for cross-border so it doesn't matter if Canada removes ours anyway
2. It was largely organized by major alt-right figures who aren't truckers.
2/
However, those major alt-right figures DO have other things they seem to care very much about and speak on often, such as anti-immigration & anti-LGBT sentiments.

The problem is, those views aren't widely shared. So how do you get your voice heard on Parliament Hill?

1. Followed @gator_gum's tip yesterday to view convoy chatter on Zello. From there, clicked a link to a YouTube channel streaming convoy footage, with a disgusting accompanying 'live chat' showing how at least some of these people talk when they think no one's watching.
2. Live chat was full of antisemitism, holocaust denial, racism, & semi-veiled threats of political violence. Some screen shots below. Warning - painful.

@DFisman @YoniFreedhoff @CheriDiNovo @nilikm @bruce_arthur @JordanLeichnitz @MrAhmednurAli #FluTrucksKlan #FluTruxKlan
3. Saw frequent use of hate symbols, including 88/HH, 'honk honk' as a code for HH, 13%/15%, 'honk the 14 honks' in place of the '14 words', as well as references to "elves" and 109, globalists, "the Austrian painter", the "honkocost", and many mentions of '6 million'.

People accusing me of praying for violence (haven't been involved with any church in decades) are my least favourite people right now.
I'd love nothing more to be wrong and see a peaceful protest, but if anyone thinks that's happening with the mountain of evidence on display 1/2
Than I'm sorry, but you're closing your eyes to the reality of what this convoy truly is. Writers better than I (@Justin_Ling has tracked this particularly well, please link me to anyone one else I may have missed out on) have provided a digital mountain of evidence of what 2/3
the aims of this are. Yes I've been having a good laugh with #FluTrucksKlan and our lovely friend April, but there's is a sense of worry behind it all. Fortunately years of depression allow me to keep this sunny disposition. Will keep tracking this to the best of my limited 3/4
