There are some videos coming out of members of the Ottawa convoy (and their supporters) harassing service workers and media already. 1/21

We also see that the paranoia of the convoy participants increasing which is potentially dangerous.

Here for example is Wayne Peters (who has claimed those vaccinated will die in 5 years) again spreading rumours that can only escalate tensions. 5/21
Though I don't know of any groups or individuals counter-protesting, the members and supporters of the convoy continue to claim any violence that does occur will be because of "antifa" in an attempt to inoculate themselves from blame should something happen. 7/21
Claims about the size of the protest also continue to grow in size, outstretching anything that is likely.

When the press provide a more realistic tally, they will be accused of being "fake news." 8/21
And not surprisingly there continue to be calls for the use of weapons and demands that those they consider "traitors" or "war criminals" (a seemingly growing list) be arrested, tried, and in some cases executed. 9/21
IF there is any positive in this escalating climate of fear it is that some individuals of concern appear to be shying away from participation, though this of course remains to be seen. 10/21
Derek Harrison also chimes in suggesting he might have a target on himself. 11/21
I mean, I can't imagine why he would be someone of concern... 12/21

But hey, the Plaid Army/Diagalon are simply misunderstood! They're just comedians with some edgy humor! Don't take them seriously! They're great guys who would never harm a fly! Canadians aren't violent! 13/21
If these guys are just edgy comedians, I guess I just don't have a great sense of humour. 21/21

2. So let's get right into it.

Yesterday evening we learned that some convoy protesters stole food from a soup kitchen.

They intimidated workers at a shelter into giving them free food when shelters and food banks are struggling to provide those in real need.

It doesn't show everything and what I can see is a large crowd, but it certainly doesn't look like the 500,000 to 1.4 million the participants claimed would be there (one random person believed there would be 3.5 million, or close to 10% of Canada). 2/
So far people on the ground have noted Diagalon and Canada First flags and at least one person in a Soldiers of Odin vest.

We also see a Canada First supporter dressed for a "peaceful" demonstration. 3/

As the Pat King led convoy approaches Ottawa from the west, one can hear the palpable rise in tension in radio communication. 1/
Pat King himself seems to be feeling it too as he suggests that he won't be the instigator of anything himself. 2/
King seems to have become so concerned that he has made a public pleas for a personal security detail once he arrives in Ottawa. 3/

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
