8. This wouldn't be the international incident he thinks it would be. It would be people arrested for violating the law. Americans are subject to the laws of the countries they visit as is anyone else.
9. It would appear that the reasons for participating might be a bit petty.
10. Elsewhere a tiny fraction of Canadians continue to hold the rest of the country hostage because of what boils down to a temper tantrum.
25. Finally Pat King, who is live streaming as I post this, continues to trend on Twitter for all the wrong reasons if you are Pat King trying to retcon your reputation.
28. And I’m off to work (something the #OttawaOccupiers should consider for themselves).
Back in a few hours.
29. Well it looks like a lot happened while I was away.
First, because why not, let's start with a petulant Pat King reverting to form.
30. Pat is angry at @theJagmeetSingh for "reading" something and criticizing the harassment and intimidation of Ottawa residents.
31. He then says that truckers in retaliation should honk their horns again.
Keep in mind that Pat King doesn't have a truck and would not suffer the consequences of violating the court injunction.
32. He rally doesn't like Mr. Singh.
33. Remember when he gave Ottawa the finger in the first clip.
Well, you should know that Ottawa actually loves them!
34. Pat claims the decision to stop honking was an olive branch offered by the #OttawaOccupiers.
Uhm, no. No, it was because of a court injunction. Had nothing to do with you.
35. "They" are trying to stop him again!
Or you've got a bad WiFi connection.
Which one seems more realistic.
36. Pat gets really, really, biblical in a weird way even for Pat.
37. Back to antagonism (if people don't like what we're doing they can stay inside) followed by misinformation about vaccines.
39. Pat King accuses the police chief of lying about arresting large numbers of people. However that isn't at all what @OPSChiefSloly actually says.
You can even read in the closed captions what was said and it isn't what Pat appears to hear.
41. There is something deliciously rich about Pat King telling anyone for any reason to "grow up."
42. Now this will be an interesting contrast.
Here he says that they are 100% peaceful, the refrain he has been repeating ad nauseum since this began.
43. He then IMMEDIATELY asks supporters if they wouldn't mind stop sending hate mail and death threats to the tow company that helped move the plywood structure. The family is frightened.
TOTALLY peaceful people.
44. Later in the day, Pat King notes that he can no longer do e-transfers.
He of course blames the government.
Maybe, OR alternatively the bank sees a lot of money going into the account and leaving the account soon after and flagged it as suspicious.
45. Pat King suggests he is going to sue the government and he will be talking to lawyers and "serving files."
Pat King is forever threatening the serving of files. It is almost as predictable as him being "done 100%!"
46. Pat instead promised to take money directly out of the bank and hand it out to people he sees.
So I guess if you want money from Pat, wear a plaid shirt, quilted vest, a trucker hat and randomly shout "freedom!"
47. Also, remember when it was noted that it was far-right street preacher who convinced the people blocking the Coutts border to stay after they had agreed to leave?
I'm sure it has nothing to do with that, but he was arrested again today.
48. Artur Pawlowski accepted his arrest (having again dropped to his knees for dramatic purposes) with the quiet dignity we have come to expect from him.
49. Rebel Media has to Rebel Media.
Sign this petition.
Donate.
Harvest emails for future direct solicitations.
Wash.
Rinse.
Repeat.
50. So let's look at some other tweets from others earlier in the day.
53. Pat King claims the people in Ottawa are standing with the occupiers (I mean, when he isn't ridiculing them or telling them if they don't like it to stay home).
54. Looking at Tyler Russell's hate group Canada First, Russell has been posting about rumours as well as Saskatchewan and Alberta dealing with mandate issues.
55. He also seems tickled about Canada First being among the subjects of a @pressprogress article.
56. Pro tip. Having operated a blog for more than a decade that named racists, I can note with experience that, over the long term, that notoriety isn't something that they will like
57. Uhm, I'm not sure I would brag about going to Gab.
58. And as the night goes on things seem to be getting more tense as Tyler Russell and others continue to instigate.
60.
61. You won't be surprised but Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) proudly announced that he was the greatest interviewee ever on a conspiracy nutter's programme because Mr. Teeth is the greatest at all things.
64. And of course Pat King was also on his programme claiming he proved Covid didn't exist because he didn't understand what a legal document actually said.
65. Of course as Ottawa in some ways is not the epicentre of what is going down in the country, Chris Saccoccia has to find a way to continue making things about him so of course he is heading to Coutts.
66.
67. But upon hearing Kenney's announcement today, would it surprise you to learn that Chris Saccoccia basically takes credit for it?
77. Jim Kerr, an #OttawaOccupier, says he talked to a trucker who because he can't get diesel fuel might just fly home and leave his truck parked.
First, I thought they weren't leaving?
Second, if he wants to fly, he better be vaccinated.
78. Tyler Russell continues to be excited when people pay attention to him; the comments are somewhat mixed.
79. Tamara Lich seems to be having some social media problems.
80. This Manitoba occupier talks about being a block leader, how this is his family, and says that Ottawa has opened up to them.
Ottawa, by and large, has not opened up to them.
81. Jim Kerr then asks a question that elicits an interesting response. The man he is speaking to claims he has had direct contact with a Conservative MP who says he "can't fly so he does everything by video" suggesting he is unvaccinated seemingly proud of that fact.
82. Also, that Memorandum of Understanding that was basically only a step from sovcit woo and was equally as ridiculous?
Seems the organizer have decided they are no longer running with that.
83. Police in Calgary are issuing summons in relation to the convoy support efforts there.
They will not be bullied out of bullying people!
84. Also in Alberta, former Innisfail councilor, failed mayoral candidate, convoy supporter, anti-mandate, and a man trying to make Alberta the 51st state Glen Carritt is facing charges in relation to his activities in support of the convoy.
87. Okay, I wasn't going to write anything about QAnon influencer and self-proclaimed Queen of Canada Romana Didulo because it really is a side show but this is bonkers!
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.
