1. Day 5 of the protests. Word is Ottawa might be down to 300 people or so.
The following is yesterday's summary.

2. An image of Parliament Hill at 9:45 am est
3. Today is the day that supporters of the events in Ottawa and at the Coutts border claim they will be blocking "all major thoroughfares" in Alberta. Time will tell if that will occur.
4. Apparently the Ottawa Police Service is patting itself on the back over how well they have handled the protest in the city.

5. The protesters claim that they feel bad for the people in Ottawa.
The fact that they claim they are also having great fun suggests otherwise.

6. Pat King has been relatively quiet on Facebook, though he did have time to change his profile picture.
7. And with that I'm off to work.
More when I get home this evening.
8. Well here is an interesting development.
Perhaps @gofundme decided it wasn't such a good idea to be associated with this event?
9. Hey, remember in the previous threads when I mentioned Jeremy MacKenzie?
A guy @antihateca has previously written about?
antihate.ca/jeremy_mackenz…
10. Here he is with Max Bernier from a couple of days ago.
11. Well, turns out he was arrested in weapons charges which isn't a good look.
12. Back to the @gofundme effort, it would appear that this may have caused some pause for thought.
13. It should also be noted that there is intel that suggests firearms are being brought into Ottawa.
14. Well in "Pat King Says He Didn't Say Something He Clearly Said" news, Pat King says he didn't say something.
In this case, suggesting Tamara Lich was MIA.
15. So with that I will post nearly the full video for that context Pat is always complaining the clips don't include (I cut the last part where he asks for donations to fit in the 10 minute time allotment).
It starts at 5:19
16. Back to the Coutts border crossing, Jeremy MacKenzie is concerned that the RCMP are about to act.
Perhaps.
17. Randy Hillier continues to do Randy Hillier things that further escalate and incite.
18. Speaking of inciting Tyler Russell and his Canada First hate group who are all softer than newborn baby shit are eager to go toe to toe with the military should they be called in.
19. Dude, no.
Just no.
20. More pictures of the salt of the earth.
21. More examples of the abuse the media is facing for not pushing the conspiracy narrative.
22. Jeremy MacKenzie making a rather cryptic comment.
"Sir, this is a Wendy's".
23. Also regarding the intel about weapons I realize that I forgot to include a tweet to back up that claim so I'll do it here.
24. Well this is interesting.
It seems that Pat King went through an Indigenous ceremony.... or did he?
25. You see, as this thread discusses, there is no "Chief of Rupertsland".
26. Also this "Chief of Rupertsland" is in the company of "Anishinabek Solutrean Metis Indigenous Nations" members which, also isn't a real thing.
27.
28. ASMI is also tied to the Freemen-on-the-Land movement which is basically a sovereign citizen thing.

29. Finally, Pat's ex-girlfriend Kelly Anne Farkas is a member of ASIM.
30. So after what appears to have been a fake Indigenous ceremony, Pat King makes a groveling apology to the Algonquin Nation on whose unceded and unsurrendered territory the apparent fake ceremony took place.
31. I'm not entirely sure why he is throwing Kelly Anne Wolfe under the bus on this, but I'm here for it!
32. Now, as you listen to this part, I would like to to know that Pat King is not Indigenous.
Like, at all.
Trust me. It is nauseating.
33. And here is a statement from Chief Dylan Whiteduck on the issue which is pretty definitive.
34. One of the means by which the anti-mandate truckers and their supporters are staying connected is through an app called Zello.
Among the discussion points are casual homophobia because of course there is.
35. Unfortunately for the convoy supporters (but definitively fortunate for everyone else), others are also able to make comments... and they are having a lot of fun.
36. Suffice it to say, and as @Noellenarwhal
has been documenting for at least three days now (and my god, it is funny so please follow), the moderators are a bit stressed
37. They are also now at each others' throats.
38.
39. They also have an interesting way of dealing with dissent.
They shut it down because they only want positive things discussed.
They have go so far as to say they want no political discussions, perhaps not realizing that what they are doing is very political
40. In this clip we see a discussion about Pat King Tamara Lich, and the @gofundme campaign shut down.
41. But this one is more disturbing.
A woman's shelter has been discussing the trauma this is causing to already traumatize women, many the victims of domestic violence (first half of video added is silent).
When someone tries to discuss this, they are banned.
42. You see, talking about the further trauma caused to these women isn't happy news! It is also fake news!
Besides, the person who tried to bring up the subject is probably "antifa".
43. If you can't help noting the irony of a "freedom convoy" shutting out reasonable free expression because it doesn't fit your narrative, well, you aren't alone.
44. Really, I think these Zello moderators all need to find a way to relax.
Perhaps a vacation? There is a wonderful ranch I keep hearing about.
I understand there are cowboys there and cowboys are always fun!
45. We know Tyler. We know.
51. Palate cleanser time.
New night. New mug.
This came from my super cool little brother for Christmas a few years ago.
My “little” brother is 3” taller than me, but I think I have close to 70lbs on him so this still applies to size as well as age. 🙂
52. Roh roh Shaggy!
Looks like the @gofundme is in real trouble now.
53. Situation in Coutts continues to be tense.
54.
55. Okay class, the word of the day is, "schadenfreude"!
56. For anyone suggesting invoking the War Measures Act.
First, ew!
Second, it isn't a thing anymore.
57. The Coutts border blockade supporters are trying to say this story is "fake news."
globalnews.ca/news/8589283/w…
58. There are more elsewhere but these are representative.
59. Yeah, except no.
60. So Pat King was interviewed by Justin Trudeau's half brother Kyle Kemper.
I'm not going to do video clips. More of the same sophistry.
61. "I feel he is a real-deal human..."
I've said it in other instances but it applies here as well.
Sweet summer child
62. Standoff continues in at the Coutts border crossing.
63.
64. Back in Ottawa, it seems that protesters are being moved out of some areas and appear to be concentrated in a tighter location, at least that's my take from Jim Kerr's video
65. In speaking to two protesters about how people in Ottawa feel they are being held hostage in their own city.
Their response?
"If you don't like it, move to Belleville"
66. Well this is a great way to destroy your career. @CanadianForces @armeecanadienne @DefenseCanada @CFOperations @CDS_Canada_CEMD @JAGCAF
68. Rumours continue to run rampant.
69. And with that I'm off to bed.
Here is Parliament Hill at 1:45 am est.
