So a marginally employed (by choice it would appear) conspiracy theory adherent suggesting the COVID vaccine will kill people is totally normal right? 1/7 ImageImageImage
Also totally normal? When the mayor of a village in Saskatchewan, albeit one who barely got more than 30 out of 56 votes... 2/7 Image
...who comment on Wayne's post suggesting mass executions of politicians? Medical professionals? 3/7 Image
And who himself shares conspiracies about the virus he thinks will kill people but that the Liberal government is incompetent for not getting vaccines out sooner. 4/7 ImageImageImage
AND, of course, who has supported a violent insurrection and a failed coup that left 5 people dead. 5/7 Image
For more information on Jay Riedel, I posted a thread discussing him and others a while back. You can look at it here if you are so inclined to do so. 6/7

Also, and in the interest of full disclosure.

I don't think Jay likes me very much. 7/7 ImageImage
Also Keean (who has blocked me), I'm a Jr. AND Sr. high school teacher.

I mean, for the sake of accuracy. :)

Yesterday @EdmontonAgainst tweeted a clip of a @CalgaryPolice officer interacting in what appears to have been a deferential manner towards Brad Carrigan. 1/16

Carrigan is one of the individuals planning a rally at the Edmonton Leg on February 20 along with Calgary street preacher Artur Pawlowski. The imagery on the promotional material includes a torch march from the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville (August 2017) 2/16 ImageImage
That is the rally in which a woman was murdered and several others injured when a car driven by a right-wing extremist rammed into the crowd. 3/16

The usual suspects held a rally in Ottawa on Parliament Hill on February 14 suggesting that as many as 100,000 will show up.

And as per usual, they were a bit off the mark... 99,850 off the mark that is. 1/12
Among those that kept up on what was happening was Dan Collen (@SpinelessL) who provided this play by play. 2/12

Rick Boswick also appeared to document the event. Yesterday he was very excited in his videos prior to seeing the turnout. It is telling he doesn't appear to have shared any of his videos of the event on FB yet. 3/12

Meet Artur Pawlowski (here with Rob Anders). If you are unfamiliar with the name, he is a far-right preacher in Calgary who is associated with groups like the Soldiers of Odin, Northern Guard, III%ers and Worldwide Coalition Against Islam among others. 1/21
Here are a few examples from the blog that feature Artur:

"Calgary Soldier of Odin Leader Posts Antisemitic Memes and Linked to Overt Racists" 2/21

"Well Here's Your Problem, "Patriots". You Engage In Infighting Because You're All Assholes" 3/21

This thread is based on older posts from June 2020, but they are still useful in understanding the mindset of the hatriot groups in Canada I and others have covered for years.

Before that though, I have two older video clips from June 3, 2017 to provide some context. 1/20

The Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (WCAI) was mainly an Internet group, though the two leaders, founder and president Joey DeLuca and VP Jesse Wielenga and a handful of other members participated in and organize real world events. 3/20

Former Conservative leadership candidate @DerekSloanCPC was kicked out of caucus this past week. 1/24 #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

While @erinotoole has stated that it was the result of a series of controversies, the straw that broke the camel's back was accepting a donation from neo-Nazi Paul Fromm (@FrommPaul). 2/24

Now Paulie's influence in far-right extremism has waned significantly (a reason why he has tried to attach himself to more contemporary movements; Proud Boys, Yellow Vests, anti-lockdown, etc), which probably means being in the news is a bit of a thrill. 3/24
