1. Day 4 of the protests. Again as I have work I won't be updating until later tonight. You can see the previous updates by clicking the link.

3. Of interest, this was sent to me today.

4. Not sure if it is the same drum, but here is the 2020 article discussing the theft.

5. It would seem that Pierre Poilievre continues to double down on his support of this protest that has so burdensome to the citizens and small business owners of Ottawa.

6. He has made a point of supporting an effort that has prevented people going to work which I find interesting.

7. Based on this February 2020 clip, he seems to have had a very different attitude towards Indigenous protesters who were far less obstructive.

9. I don't know. Perhaps the truckers just need a stronger work ethic?

10. And with that I'm off to work.

See y'all later tonight.

11. Update on the drum situation. Turns out it isn't the right one.

12. Also, this. :)

13. So while most of Canada's attention may be on Ottawa, perhaps a more concerning standoff is occurring that the Coutts border crossing.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

14. Tyler Russell and his Canada First hate groups, as well as Plaid Army/Diagolon, seem to be trying to stoke the fire from Ottawa where many have been participating in that event.

15.

17.

18. For those unfamiliar with Greg Arcade.

19. My biggest fan who can't seem to get me off his mind Alex Vriend (aka Ferryman's Toll) has also contributed to the effort here.

20. @antihateca has this on Vriend.

antihate.ca/holocaust_deni…

21. Vriend discussed the Coutts border situation in a stream discussing what he suggests is the inevitability of violence (though another tries to split hairs in claiming that "they" have been subject to state violence so self-defence isn't violence).

22. I know I run the risk of Vriend having an orgasm about the fact I'm writing about him and including this clip, but I would suggest he isn't entirely wrong that this could blow up if not handled correctly.

I'll even post it all that exchange for context purposes.

28. In related news, @misterEpete and I have new fans on the fringe right.

29.

30. But these next two are my favourites.

31. Yep. You got me! I'm an engaged citizen who makes a small monthly donation to a political party. What a scandal!

I also contribute monthly to a number of human rights organizations (including @antihateca) and I sponsor 5 children with @PlanCanada.

Lock me up!

32. And yes, I did and do condemn Don Cherry, though not for asking people to wear a poppy of course, but for suggesting new Canadians aren't (which isn't true) and questioning their status as Canadians because of this claim.

33. Really? That's the best you can do?

Weak

34. You know who aren't week?

These awesome humans!

I'm sure that they will be accused of being "antifa" soon.

35. Also, to all those DMing me with links, photos, screen shots, and videos, THANK YOU!!!

I can't get to all of them as I am only one person, but knowing y'all are as active and engaged as you are warms my cold, cold, heart.

36. Back to Coutts, this sort of screams for some attention.

https://twitter.com/JaneQCitizen/status/1488394336874106880?s=20&t=Ix8kTs-Dm4flhfMPFZBzJg

37. And here is Kelly Anne Farkas (Wolfe) doing Kelly Anne Farkas things.

I think she thinks she is a general giving commands.

38. Kevin Johnston complaining about bail restrictions when he should be serving his 18 months while also seemingly violating those same bail restrictions in talking to people attending the Ottawa protest.

https://twitter.com/TonyYvce/status/1488541872926691329?s=20&t=Ix8kTs-Dm4flhfMPFZBzJg

39. No.

No they aren't.

40. Well, it seems there is a bit of tension in the ranks over strategy.

Beer break!

New night. New mug.

The second of my two Ed Hardy glasses.

42. More of these legends!

https://twitter.com/OurTriumph/status/1488686717037158403?s=20&t=au0KoK0EyAxjM2CbEvuMKg

43. Threatening sexual assault... for freedom!

Absolutely disgusting.

https://twitter.com/trvlbug71/status/1488701152564813824?s=20&t=cBEbnnJ6XOVBbnBmF25bnA

44. Again, imagine if this was a BLM protest.

Or a FNMI protest.

Imagine what would have happened by this point.

https://twitter.com/sasaozz/status/1488702952713900034?s=20&t=cBEbnnJ6XOVBbnBmF25bnA

45. We had a bit of a wind storm on the prairies last night.

This individual made a poor choice.

https://twitter.com/professordarwin/status/1488731119902027779?s=20&t=cBEbnnJ6XOVBbnBmF25bnA

46. Looks like Chris Saccoccia drove through it too.

Well, not Chris as he is not legally permitted to drive.

47. Combined the two videos to get the pain of listening to Saccoccia over with quickly and humanely.

48. Yeah, this doesn't seem helpful at all.

49. Back to the Coutts border crossing, Tyler Russell of the Canada First hate group seems to be gloating about the RCMP inaction.

49. @WBrettWilson isn't of the a fan of the border standoff though

You see, he is perfectly fine making people in Ottawa miserable, but if it might touch him in any way, well, that is bad.

50. In fact, let's explore a little more about what the people in Ottawa are going through that @WBrettWilson seems to be fine with.

Remember my bestest friend who is totally not obsessed with me?

antihate.ca/holocaust_deni…

51. Well Alex Vriend has making friends at the protest.

52.

53.

54. Oh, he is also going out of his way to antagonize people already at their wits end.

https://twitter.com/EatsFood2/status/1488709679798759425?s=20&t=au0KoK0EyAxjM2CbEvuMKg

55.

56. He brags about what the convoy is doing to people in the city. I did remove most of the video to preserve the victims identity, but I did include a later audio file of Vriend justifying the harassment with the added hope the victim kills himself.

57. These are your people @WBrettWilson .

The salt of the earth.

58. And that seems to me to be a good time to end this.

Here is a shot of Parliament Hill at 1:30 am est.
