The #ConvoyForFreedom2022 decided to block Marine Atlantic's entrance with their convoy. Keep in mind this does not consist of any semi's. All I could see was the same #antivaxxers who have been covid denier's for the last year in local social media groups. /1

#FluTruxClan

I decided I would drive over to see who was involved and why? @nsgov clearly released an injunction against any blockades or 'slow roll convoys'. Why would these guys just blatantly ignore that? So I put my 'trigger' mask on and headed down after a 20 min drive. /2

#Clownvoy

Some "Freedom Fighters" decided to walk up in support at the bridge. When I asked what they are supporting I was told "freedom for our children". I replied with "your children look pretty free to me". The person quickly turned and walked away. /3

#GoHomeFluTruxKlan #GoHomeConvoy

After examining the crowd on the road I decided to head on down and just have a look-see. I asked an officer if he would mind me documenting who is involved in the blockade and he gave me the go ahead. People from @FreedomNova noted me approaching after our last encounter. /4

A breakdown on how the counter protest with @FreedomNova went the week before you can refer to this tweet, my good friend @m_yakimchuk. Last week we demonstrated in silence while they taunted, jeered and insulted us for 3.5 hours. Because "freedom". /5

The front of the #FreedomConvoy2022 were turning away from my camera. I guess they did not like being known for what they are doing? Not sure why they were so shy but I politely said "say cheese!" /6

The man in the middle b4 recognized me as well as the "keyboard warrior" who constantly makes him look bad in #antivaxxers debates. I replied "there is no keyboard here, I am standing right in front of you". Then things became very irate because of my "face diaper". /7

#nspoli

This is when I put my phone down. I was surrounded with a wall to my back. 'Joe', who can be seen here from last week, approached. He asked "Mike, why don't you stand with us man." I replied with "I stand with the healthcare workers." /8

#IStandWithHealthcare #healthcareworkers

An irate, loud man started to yell that I am a racist. That I am a bully. Others chimed in that I'm on welfare. I'm a douchebag due to my face diaper. I am Trudeau's b*tch. The cops stared wide eyed as they all took turns. Kids are present unfortunately. /9

#IStandWithTrudeau

Then shockingly I was approached by a candidate for Mayor. Archie Mackinnon.

He got in my face and said:

"big guys don't intimidate me"- I wasn't trying

"look at me (big guy) of course I am a keyboard warrior"- heavy set dudes are not welcome I guess. /10

"let's find out where he works and never support that local company again" -such a caper

"you are NOT welcome here" -this road is mine too? freedom?

"get out of here NO ONE likes you" -I was not trying to be popular but ok. /11

What was most disturbing to me is how all this hooting and hollering was happening in front of little children with flags. Not my kids though so if they think all that is appropriate while calling me the "bully" and the "racist". Well, ok. "Freedom" right. /12

#nspoli #cdnpoli

The RCMP had to come up and ask if I would mind leaving because they are becoming too aggressive and irate. I said "no problem and sorry". Then all the #antivaxxers started to cheer because the big bad guy with a face diaper was leaving. "Peaceful" though. /13

Like #OttawaOccupied they just need to pee guys, ok? Not a single person could tell me why I am a racist or a bully for standing there. Kept screaming it over and over. I asked if they had trouble reading the local newspaper? Clearly, they did. /14

#CapeBlockade #GoHomeConvoy

Looks like they packed it in (heh) shortly after I left. They vowed they will return or head to other ports. 🙄 #GetVaccinated #antivaxxers #RamRanchResistance #RamRanch #GoHomeConvoy #Clownvoy
