If you or anyone you know plan on countering the convoy protest, I urge you not to. I can't see this not resulting in violence. It is only the nature of the violence that is in question at this point. 1/14

While I pray that I'm wrong, we've seen too much already which suggests this isn't going to go well.

First there is the boorish behaviour of some participants and their supporters that I first heard about in Winnipeg and which continues into Ontario. 2/14

But this is all minor in the who scheme of things. 3/14

We've already seen the media being targeted. 4/14

One journalist was subject of a racially charged threat by one of the Ontario organizers. 6/14

Political figures are being threatened... 7/14

...to the point that the Parliamentary Sergeant-at-Arms is warning Parliamentarians that there have been efforts to locate their home addresses. 8/14

I outlined some of the threats being made in the two threads from Tuesday and Wednesday. 9/14

Not surprisingly some of the organizers are laying the groundwork to blame others (the "antifa" boogeyman) should things become violent. 11/14

I won't post it, but one person who suggests he is in the convoy claimed that he saw a friend of mine in the convoy as an infiltrator. That is a lie because that individual is at home no and never posts identifying pictures of themselves. 12/14

And I could go on.

If I have ever been influential in this sphere, please take my warning to heart. 13/14

If you plan on counter-protesting, please don't.

If you are a journalist, please take extra precautions.

If you own a business, protect your employees especially if we are dealing with the service industry. 14/14
