7. Ezra Levant suggests that Rebel Media will handle legal costs for occupiers ticketed.
8. And someone claiming to be an American lawyer suggests the @OttawaPolice are guilty of war crimes.
First, no they are not.
Second, don't hire this person as your attorney
9. Turning to Coutts, the question of what happens if Kenney removes mandates occurs, but Edmonton and Calgary maintain them.
10. Ever the opportunist, QAnon self-proclaimed Queen of Canada Romana Didulo seems to be suggesting that she is responsible for the police acting which her credulous supporters will believe without question.
11. The Canada First (former Proud Boy chapter) hate group continues to push for people to stay.
12.
13. So with that I'm done until I get back from work.
See y'all then.
14. Okay, a last quick one.
Based on a video I was sent, it looks like at least some truckers are taking seriously the 10:00 am deadline and have been leaving.
15. I'm going to take much of the night off, but I figure that a few updates before would in order.
a. The police were only flexing.
b. They want to negotiate with city council.
c. They are going to do PR.
d. He thanks Ottawa for hosting them noting they may not like it now, but they will eventually know what is good for them.
24. Pat King also seems to forget his promise that they weren't leaving until it is over by saying he needs to leave soon followed by the least inspirational grad theme I've heard in 20 years as a teacher.
25. Upon learning about the injunction King, who suggested police force was just a flex earlier, tells the 400 to 500 that his could be a pretext to have them arrested.
He also claims that the city wants to negotiate now.
26. Well, that's not entirely accurate.
Also, apparently the police were swarmed when trying to make an arrest almost leading to a riot so.... non-violent eh?
In a video that proports to be an apology to FNMI peoples, it is instead a stream of deflections, self-pity, and further lies.
28. I'm not going to comment on this part other than to remind people that Pat King is NOT FNMI.
Also, he says at the end he is a man of his word and a man of honour.
29. In this clip he continues to lie about @antihateca
30. In all likelihood Pat King is probably feeling the pressure of having the spotlight on him and people digging into his past statements so he is trying to retcon himself into the "peace and light" guy he claims he is now.
31. As Pat King is actually trending right now, based on what I see I can say that his efforts aren't working.
37. Looking at others on the far-right, Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First continues having to live with the fact that he is Tyler Russell which in and of itself is a great tragedy.
38. He also pretends to care for the elderly.
You know, the people he usually derisively refers to as "boomers" on all other occasions.
39.
40. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) spoke at yesterday's rally and as you can see was as humble as he always is (and no, I won't subject you to Mr. Teeth's voice for nearly 15 minutes).
41. Currently he is urging people to participate in the blocking of the Ambassador Bridge.
42. Guaranteed he is going to take credit for this eventually.
52. Hey, remember that time I noted Joshua Switzer-Crowe (aka Angry Albertan) had made some lucid comments about the #OttawaOccupiers.
Yeah... I'm going to miss those times.
53. You know when you are over the mark?
When the bad guys post things like this.
54. Now Gab has a bit of a sordid history so it shouldn't be a surprise that the platform would be used to defame detractors of the occupiers and lie about them.
56. In any case, the comments are as one would expect though I was surprised to see some actual push-back.
Not much, but better than none I suppose?
57. Yep.
Salt of the earth. /sarc
58. Also enlightening?
How about this?
59. Sigh.
So much for an easy night.
Get ready for a bonkers video Pat King recorded with @APTNNews that he thinks makes him look good.
Spoiler: It definitively does NOT make him look good and might be the most damning in some ways yet.
60. Pat sets it up by saying he secretly recorded a conversation with an @OttawaPolice liaison officer at the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument.
61.
62. In the conversation he claims that FNMI peoples do support the occupiers and that he is trying to save "our First Nations" from vaccines which are being illegally forced on "us" and causing .
Pat is not Indigenous.
63. When it is suggested that FNMI peoples have spoken out against the convoy, Pat King suggests that it is the "corporate paid-off leaders" who are being told what to say.
Also "we" are trying to heal and the only way for "our people" to do so is through ceremony.
64. The @APTNNews journalist comes up and asks for an interview. Pat cuts back to his "war room" and says that this was a set up and dirty trick but not to worry because as a wily journalist himself he knows their tricks.
65. To sum up. The media are all liars. Vaccines are killing people and causing children to be stillborn enmass among FNMI. This is another genocide "of our people."
Pat King is not Indigenous.
66. In describing his role with the #OttawaOccupiers, Pat King also talks about all the ways the mandates are hurting people more than the pandemic.
67. And here, point blank, Pat King says he is Ojibwa when asked directly.
Pat King is not Indigenous.
68. Claims the vaccines are a continuation of the "British oliarks [sic]" efforts to eliminate FNMI. Claims he has a US military study proving the vaccine is harming FNMI peoples.
69. On a follow-up about his Indigenous background, Pat King stumbles when asked about his parents' and admits he isn't status.
Pat King is not Indigenous.
70. When asked about desecration at the memorial, he instinctively complains about the "lying CBC" even though it becomes clear he doesn't even know what is being referred to.
71. The Nazi flag and other racist imagery?
Provocateurs, probably paid by Trudeau. Claims they are marched out and told not to come back.
I am dubious about this claim.
72. When asked about the ultimate goal, Pat King says it is to end mandates and hopefully get rid of Trudeau, after which he adds, "how come our people don't have water?"
Pat King is not Indigenous.
73. When the journalist notes that the Algonquin Council doesn't support the #OttawaOccupiers, Pat King then once again claims that "corporate bands and councils" are bought and paid for and told what to say. Says chiefs are paid off; "we all know it."
74. Claims the media lies about him. Says that "his lawyers" are filing a lawsuit against the CBC and that, in time, "our First Nations may own CBC."
78. The interview ends with Pat being befuddled by news of a press conference he was unaware of.
79. Pat honestly thinks he is brilliant for recording this to show how dirty the media is by... you know... asking probing questions and not believing what he says without question.
80. But remember, Pat is all about love, light, and healing.
93. Canada First (former Proud Boy chapter) posted a video of an individual speculating about a riot squad. I'm guessing the person in the video is likely not a Canada First (PB) member.
94.
95. Mayor Wilson's request for 1800 more personnel to assist with the siege by the #OttawaOccupiers.
96. It seems that the #OttawaOccupiers are becoming increasingly paranoid.
97. In this clip they talk about a narc who they believe was trying to entrap them by attacking Parliament.
Maybe... OR it was one of the occupiers because it isn't as if we haven't seen comments like this from their supporters over the course of the last number of days.
2. Being a Saturday the numbers are unsurprising higher than previously as evidenced by this shot of Parliament Hill at noon.
3. It seems the QAnon "Queen" Romana Didulo decided that after her proclamation that truckers were "no longer necessary" in Ottawa and ordered them home.
3. Today is the day that supporters of the events in Ottawa and at the Coutts border claim they will be blocking "all major thoroughfares" in Alberta. Time will tell if that will occur.
