Here’s the location of another base camp at a farm 5 minutes outside Arnprior.
One faction of convoy leaders appear to be broadcasting this info in hopes of luring convoy people away from other base camps to their base camp.
They plan to throw a dance party tomorrow night.
Base camp organizers have authorized livestreamers to broadcast images from inside the base camp in order to show off how cool their base camp is.
Here are some images:
The livestreamer takes us on a tour of the base camp’s parking lot and is eager to show off how many vehicles have shown up so far.
Interestingly, there are not many big rigs – the vehicles are mostly pick-up trucks, RVs and smaller cars.
The base camp has its own “security.”
“Don’t come if you’re not supposed to be here. Don’t be media. Don’t be troublemakers. We don’t have time for you guys.”
(The full livestream suggests a firm ‘in-group/out-group’ mentality is really setting-in with these people)
Some guy who calls himself “Big Bear” explains they are trying to “merge” the base camps and suggests they are preparing to dig in for the long-term:
“We are here til the end ... Until we get our freedoms won back ... That’s the goal.”
This appears to be convoy leader Daniel Bulford at the Arnprior base camp this evening.
Bulford turned himself into police on Friday but, according to his wife, was released without charges. He was back at a police line Sunday and is now back to organizing at a base camp.
The livestreamer who was authorized by base camp leaders to produce this video is very eager to impress upon viewers how well-stocked it is with food and supplies and other “random stuff”:
They also have “lots of portapotties”:
They all seem to be hanging out watching replays of themselves getting arrested by police on their phones.
This one guy is convinced that the United Nations sent its own secret police force to Canada on planes (he is actually pointing at officers with the Sûreté du Québec).
Anyway, we now have rural base camps confirmed in the following locations just outside Ottawa:
• Arnprior
• Embrun
• Greely
• Vankleek Hill
Here’s my earlier thread on this from this afternoon:
