As Democrats appear to have flipped Georgia in a run-off election, we move into the much anticipated "Stop The Steal" protests in Washington DC.

Trump supporters from all over are descending on the capital, including the Canadian born Proud Boys.

The protests are expected to continue late into the night. Crowds began to gather early in the morning and appear to be continuing to grow in size.
With the bulk of the crowds gathered near the White House for speeches, including Trump himself, workers have been boarding up BLM Plaza ahead of anticipated action later during the day.
Canadian Gavin McInnes and the Proud Boys are obviously present. McInnes got his start working for Rebel Media before launching his anti-immigrant fight club.

It’s already here.

After almost 5 years, the Law Society of Ontario has chosen to take no further action against a lawyer who advertised in the pro-Nazi, Holocaust-denying and misogynist tabloid Your Ward News.
lawtimesnews.com/resources/prof…
The 2016 complaint was filed by CAHN board member Richard Warman. The committee found that the "placement of the ad was not in the public interest & inconsistent with the professionalism standards under the Rules of Professional Conduct," however, no action is being taken.
Lawyer David Faed said he was unaware of the contents of Your Ward News and chose to stop advertising with them in 2017, the same year the courts ordered its editor, James Sears, and publisher, Leroy St. Germaine, to cease publication.

aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
