Kevin Johnston was sentenced to 18 months in jail back in Ontario for contempt starting January 4, 2022. I hope that @mohamadfakih8 and his family will be able to rest a bit easier as a result. 2/8
People who followed ARC when I was working on the blog, as well as those who found other sources, know all too well the kind of person Kijiji is and his campaigns of harassment. Here is one case in point. 3/8
He originally lost the defamation suit in 2019, but since then continued to defame the victim, ridicule the courts, and openly state he will never pay any judgement. 3/22
I'll add clips as I cut from the original video, but suffice it to say he lies about why he was convicted (claims because he told the truth; he is in fact a liar) and everything is communism. 2/
Claiming that an 18 month sentence makes a "public spectacle of the courts" and that it won't cause people to comply with the courts, Kevin says he needs to raise $20,000 to appeal the sentence. 3/
I had planned on a thread discussing Johnston's antics yesterday, but Pat King's continued descent into sovereign citizen woo sort of preoccupied my time. 2/
In any case, prior to appearing on the bed of a truck on Stephen Ave promoting his fringe mayoral campaign, he was on the bed of a truck outside Artur Pawlowski's cult compound.
So, we know the origins of Pat's billion dollar lien scam. Looks like he has jumped into the sovereign citizen woo with both feet. We knew that this was the case based on his video with angry Duke Willis, but he is in deeper than I thought. 1/
As the election unfolded and it became increasingly apparent that the Liberals would win a third mandate (and second minority) the online rhetoric turned inevitably to claiming the election was rigged. 1/
In fact the claim the election had been rigged preceded this election and had already been retconned to explain the Liberal win in 2019 and the majority it won in 2015. 2/
The "rigged election" mantra existed before in these circles but really took off in Canada in large part to the "Big Lie" that Donald Trump was cheated out the win in the 2020 presidential race. 3/
