2. Parliament Hill at 9:30 am est.
3. Food for thought.

cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…
4. I was sent this yesterday. As always be cautious about taking anything these people say as gospel, but evidently there is a plan for more people to go to the Ambassador bridge to fully block it at 5:30 pm est.
5. On Plaid Army/Diagolon leader Jeremy MacKenzie's Telegram, he posts another video of a journalist being harassed by a conspiracy crank.
6.
7. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) continues to breathlessly repeat talking points from far-right propaganda sites.
8.
9. This is the site he links to in order to prove his "breaking news".
10. Except that that he wasn't Trudeau's "head of security" who just resigned.

Apparently he was an RCMP sniper (whom they refer to as Trudeau's "personal sniper" (which doesn't feel like a real thing) who was let go in 2021 if one can believe Rebel Media.
11. In related news, Mr. Teeth continues to believe he is smarter than he actually is.
12.
13. And with that last shrill voice in my ear, I head off to work.

Don't give away the home world while I'm away.
14. A few hours ago Jim Kerr (a participant and supporter of the #OttawaOccupation) posted a video in which he said despite the efforts of the @OttawaPolice and rumours that some people making the attempt were being picked off, the fuel was still getting to the vehicles
15. Also, despite the fact that a great deal of money has been raised, Kerr suggests that the money has yet to make it to anyone purchasing fuel.
16. He eventually wanders over to the stage that was set up where an "awesome and totally doesn't suck" rapper is performing.

The relevance of this clip?

Though there are people elsewhere, the numbers look like they could be managed.

Also, there are a lot of kid.
17. Jerry cans are lined up.
18. In another stream, Jim Kerr follows a group of #OttawaOccupiers who are delivering fuel.

Kerr seems to think that denying fuel to truckers is a violation of their human rights (it is not).
19. Also, Kerr seems to think the injunction that bars the trucks from using their horns is something that "they agreed to" as some sort of olive branch, indicating he doesn't know what a court injunction is (hint, it isn't a gentle request).
20. A clip of moving fuel through the streets of Ottawa.
21. Jim Kerr says he isn't getting aggressive when he has been getting in OPS' faces. No, he is being assertive.
22. I guess I'm a hero now.
23. The group delivering fuel passes a group of police, one of whom records Kerr and the men making the delivery. Mild confrontation occurs.
24. "If the police know who you are it probably isn't a good thing."

You think?
25. The one group reaches the trucks and begin refueling.
26. Celebrations commence.
27. We got some insurrectionist sovcit rhetoric.

I mean, it is a Wednesday after all.

28. Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada first is giddy that harassment of journalists has become so severe that some are taking identifying logos off their vehicles.
29. He is however irate that the opposition Conservatives want Holocaust denial outlawed.

Gee, I wonder why?
30. The comments are everything that you would anticipate.

Also, and though I initially dismissed the idea, more and more I'm thinking that for some, HonkHonk places a great deal more emphasis on the "H" part.
32. Plaid Army/Diagolon member Alex Vriend is also continuing to agitate, including urging #OttawaOccupiers to use their horns in spite of the injunction.

It should be noted that Vriend doesn't have a semi parked there.
34. There is however some unhappiness in the Canada First/Plaid Army/Diagolon hate groups.

Earlier today the leadership of the #OttawaOccupation had a press conference. For more information check out @Justin_Ling's thread.

35. In any case, Vriend and Russell are not at all happy because they feel the leadership has betrayed the #OttawaOccupiers.
36. Russell pushes a new slate of leaders, Max Bernier and Randy Hillier of course.
36. Also very upset is Plaid Army/Diagolon defacto leader Jeremy MacKenzie.

antihate.ca/jeremy_mackenz…
38.
39. He says he has truth to tell about the leaders and the truth hurts.
40.
41. He urges no capitulation until all demands are met. He says they aren't leaving, ignoring the fact that I do believe he left for Nova Scotia and only recently returned to Ottawa.
42.
42. Most recently he has been posting about rumours of mass arrests in both Ottawa and at the Coutts border crossing in Alberta.
43. He is also freaking out because someone created Diagolon crowfunding effort on the same platform currently being used by the leaders of the #OttawaOccupation.
44.
45. MacKenzie posts that the RCMP
46. If that occurs poor Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) might not have an audience.
47.
51. By the way, @antihateca published an article by a person actually experiencing the #OttawaOccupation. I urge you to give it a look.

antihate.ca/living_through…
52. And for people claiming to be doing this for truckers and small businesses, the #OttawaOccupiers and especially those blocking border crossing don't seem to mind hurting truckers and small businesses.

53. Now Pat King was uncharacteristically quiet today but he put out a livestream tonight and provided an actually believable explanation.
54. That I think he is telling the truth is the only charitable thing I will write about him because there is a part I'll be posting in this thread that is absolutely enraging.
55. Pat King claims that there is a secret plan to do "freedom things" tomorrow morning and asks for now fewer than 50 (but he'll take 100) big rigs to go out and to do some "freedoming."
56. He believes it is time to "step things up" and has been given permission from the people he suggests are the higher ups.
57. When asked WHO is higher up than Pat, Pat King demurs by saying there are some logistical people and then with a wink says he is only a social media person implying he is one of the "big dogs" he had spoke of earlier.
58. Okay, THIS is where we begin getting angry.

Remember in the thread yesterday when King asked people to stop threatening people he said that helped move the wooden structure?

59. Well it apparently hasn't stopped and has gotten so severe that the owner of the buisness spoke to the @OttawaCitizen about the harassment campaign against him.

ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
60. King responded today. He is angry "Randy" spoke to the CBC saying they are liars. Now there very well be a CBC article that I can't find, but so far it is only the @OttawaCitizen that I can find with the story suggesting Pat can't distinguish between news outlets.
61. In perhaps one of the most passive aggressive clips yet, Pat King says it isn't his fault and then suggests the people threatening Randy and his family are the trolls or, and get this, a set up that Randy was in on from the start.
62. I can't stress this enough so I'm going to post that part of the clip specifically.

Pat King blames the victims and says they may be in on a scheme to set him up.
64. Pat King is a buffoon.
65. Thanks to the person who found the CBC article so I guess King was right about the source he found.

Pat King is still a 🤡 though.

1. By now I'm guessing that most of my Twitter followers are aware of the most recent threats against Trudeau and the subsequent of a suspect. I think there is an even more important story though related to the poisonous influence of social media

toronto.ctvnews.ca/rcmp-arrest-ma…
2. Dawid Zalewski was arrested for making death threats against the Prime Minister. The following video was posted to his second Facebook profile. Be warned that it may be triggering as it promotes graphic violence against the PM and others.
3. Zalewski is clearly not well, but I think would be wrong to dismissively call him "crazy" move on without further examination. There is a reason why he got to this point and I believe we can learn a great deal from his social media footprint.

1. I’ve been enjoying my summer break and have not been paying a lick of attention to the Olympics. Until today however since Twitter has collectively lost the plot.
2. Earlier boxer Imane Khelif defeated her Italian opponent in the first round when Angela Carini quit after 45 seconds stating that she had never been hit so hard.

To be fair, I don’t enjoy being punched in the face either so I can at least sympathize with Carini.
3. Now a preliminary fight would never be important enough to make international news under normal circumstances however we are, as the saying goes, living in interesting times.

1. Given what is happening in Jasper, these all seem to be especially relevant.

1. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) was arrested in Calgary on an immigration warrant apparently. He may have since been released, though he has to turn in his passport and remain in southern Alberta.

I'd prefer that he be kicked out immediately.
2. Despite claiming to have been a "political prisoner" many of Yaxley-Lennon's criminal convictions his Islamophobic "activism" and a number of convictions since have had nothing to do with his political views.
3. In 2005, he was convicted assaulting a police officer who intervened during an argument Yaxley-Lennon was having with his then girlfriend.

1/ It's been a while since I've done a thread here, but the recent focus on Pat King got me to wondering what was up with his own Salacious Crumb, Tyson "Freedom George" Billings.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
Image
2/ Last time I looked at Billings he was a part of the efforts to set up a permenant camp outside Ottawa so there could be daily protests, though the original plan involved surrounding the police and arresting politicians.

Suffice to say it didn't go anywhere.
3/ Billings and Ron Clark soon headed home, but they both soon got involved in other protests including the anti-carbon tax protests occurring in the province. The numbers at these events have been small but that hasn't stopped from politicians from courting the fringes it seems. Image

1/ Though I'm not especially active these days, I'm still sometimes gobsmacked by some of the ridiculous (though sadly effective) rage farming by some on the right. Harrison Faulkner of "True North" is just a recent example of that. Image
2/ So a bit of background. Musical artist Karan Aujla won the 2024 TikTok Juno Fan Choice Award at the award ceremony this past weekend.

I think it was this weekend. Truth be told I don't pay a lot of attention to awards shows.

3/ It should be noted that Aujla has been in Canada for years emigrating as an orphan. He graduated from high school in Canada. The album was produced by a Canadian on a Canadian label.

He has made his home here.
