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
It should be noted also that Kevin has been sued successfully numerous times and treats these lawsuits with the same level of contempt. 4/22
After the sentence had been rendered Kijiji was on his live feed doubling down claiming he was jailed for "telling the truth" and "for being a conservative."
However Kevin as those who are aware of him already know lies as easily as he breathes. 5/22
I posted a thread on the show last night as he and far-right pastor Artur Pawlowski lamented their legal woes and claimed the courts were corrupt for treating them like criminals... which they both are incidentally.
Tonight Johnston was back at it, and though there is a lot to unpack in the video where he talks to the candidates he endorses for city council, I'm just going to focus on his doubling down on attacks on the court and Mr. Fakih. 7/22
Kevin claims he is appealing the sentence accusing the judge of making legal errors, of having a personal animus toward him, and he will be able delay sentencing until he is mayor after which they won't dare imprison him. He also attacks the victim again. 8/22
Apparently Kijiji thinks the office of mayor grants him immunity and a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. 9/22
Claims again that they are locking him up "just for telling the truth" while also trying to claim it wasn't clear he was talking about the victim anyways.
Notice too how he tries to scare his followers to believe that they are next if he goes to jail. 10/22
"It's what I've come to expect of this extremist, far-left, communist, Marxist, Sino-fascist, government that we have here in Canada."
Claims lawyers are appalled over the sentence and predicts lawyers leaving the legal profession in disgust because of how he was treated. 11/22
Get over yourself.
Lawyers are not quitting their jobs in solidarity with a two bit grifter.
You are not important and in time will be blessedly forgotten when your schtick becomes boring even for your most devoted supporters who have attention spans of goldfish. 12/22
Always with the grift. 13/22
By the way, this is the incident that he is talking about regarding Derek Storie. 14/22
Kevin ends his programme begging for money and once again claiming he was sentenced for telling the truth, "and in some cases not saying much of anything at all." 19/22
At 50, Kijiji is 5 years and a month or so older than me, and yet he is incapable of taking any kind of responsibly for his own poor life choices. It is always someone else's fault. He should be allowed to act with impunity. People who call him on his behaviour are bullied. 20/22
In general, children are able to recognize the consequences for their actions by age 6.
Kevin J Johnston is not as self-aware as most 6 year olds are. 21/22
Kevin Johnston however doesn't seem capable of feeling shame which why, when all is said and done and he eventually shuffles off his mortal coils decades hence, his life will have been one of failure and disappointment. 22/22

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/
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
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/
