In light of news that the @edmontonpolice don't have evidence to link the torch march to hatred (despite literally using imagery from a neo-Nazi torch march in Charlottesville) I thought I would do a bit of a deep dive into the Pawlowski brothers. 1/

FYI, this may be long and exceedingly boring for most people.

There will also be a great deal in this thread for which people will rightfully be very offended so please be warned. 2/
Artur Pawlowski again led a march, this time through Calgary (Feb 27), with torches claiming that there wasn't anything racist about it (again... they used the Charlottesville neo-Nazi torch march on their promotional material). 3/

Evidently there was another anti-mask rally in Calgary. As Artur Pawlowski is currently in Vancouver for the anti-mask rally set to occur there tomorrow I'm not sure how well attended today's event in Calgary was. 1/17

That said, yesterday's event was interesting in that it might have been the most overt example of the marriage of anti-mask/anti-lockdown/anti-vax conspiracies with the discredited sovereign citizen movement. 2/17 Image
One of the keynote speakers was Christopher James Prichard, a "common law expert" from Burlington

@nolifeneet does a fantastic job of presenting who Prichard and directing his arguments here. 3/17

The organizers of the Edmonton torch rally claimed that the focus was on the lockdown and "persecution of Christian pastors" who refused to abide by bylaws 1/17

However they also had other targets. They attacked the "globalists", health professionals, science, the left in general and "antifa specifically", among others.

They also went after the media. 2/17
Journalist @BaileyNitti posted a clip of her collegues being harassed by Brad Carrigan, one of the organizers as well as Dawid Pawlowski whose bother Artur was the other organizer. 3/17

Yesterday I posted a run down of what took place on Saturday during the anti-lockdown rally in Edmonton organized by Artur Pawlowski. The part that I thought was the most significant were the clips of Artur's brother, Dawid, being taken into custody. 1/18

They provided a number of excuses. Dawid was arrested for helping a wheelchair user. He was defending "patriots". He was just walking away and he was jumped for no reason at all.

We can now add, "arrested for free speech to the list". 2/18
Artur has continued to insist that it was "antifa" who were to blame. Initially I thought at least he might have present when Dawid was arrested so even if his explanation is self-serving that he would at least have seen how it started.

That doesn't seem to be the case. 3/18

I spent most of the day yesterday documenting the extremist rally at the Edmonton Leg which was followed by a Charlottesville-like tiki torch march. I thought I would do a very short update. 1/

2/ ImageImage
As expected there were a number of extremist groups and individuals. I mentioned people like Pat King and Bill Whatcott, but I forgot to mention Larry Heathers.

Yeah, this seems normal. 3/ Image

The far-right Edmonton anti-mask rally is going to begin in about an hour so I thought I would do what I can to update people as to what is happening. First, this is the kind of disinformation they are sharing (from a post on Dawid oFB profile). 1/
Misty is closely aligned with Artur Pawloswki and Brad Carrigan who organized the rally today. 2/
Except no. No it isn't. 3/
