67. Another example of the real danger these convoy's are putting people through.

69. Plaid Army/Diagolon hate group members Alex Vriend and Jeremy MacKenzie are in Ottawa. Though somewhat celebratory, they also seem tense.
70. Definitely apprehensive.
71. Apparently FOX News was just there.

I suspect they were not harassed.
72. In Calgary, the supporters of Artur Pawlowski are outside where he is being held demanding he be released because I guess they feel that continually violating the law is no biggie.
73. The video (edited to fit the time allowed for Twitter Blue) is recorded by Artur's son who claims that his father's arrest was illegal and unconstitutional.

He apparently wants to be a lawyer despite not actually understanding the law.
74. His uncle and Artur's brother Dawid plays some of the hits (calling people Nazis etc).
75. A second recording.
76. Jeremy MacKenzie forwards a message from former PPC candidate Mark Friesen which suggests action in Coutts is imminent.
78. Also of interest, Friesen almost died a few months ago... as a result of Covid.

He still refuses to get vaccinated but admitted the ivermectin he was taking resulted in him soiling himself just before being taken to the hospital.

79. Okay, to be fair he didn't admit that it was the ivermectin caused him to shit himself. He only said that it happened.

But come on! The ivermectin was almost certainly the cause!
80. The other Canada First (the former Proud Boy chapter, not the Tyler Russell one) is upset because the police are taking firewood from the @OttawaOccupiers.

Uhm... yeah. That seems like a good idea actually.
81.
82. Canadian QAnon supporter (and man who was on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021 taking photos) Logan Murphy forwards a post of an arrest at Milk River near the Coutts border crossing.
83. Apparently recording an arrest is (a) a set-up and (b) evidence of "fake news" because that phrase has basically become a mantra at this point to criticize information that doesn't fit the right-wing extremist narrative.
84. My moment is zen.
85. So here is another video of Artur Pawlowski's arrest yesterday with his son and his brother Dawid berating the police.

If possible, it is more unhinged than any previous video of an arrest.
86. And with that I'm tapping out for the night.

Here is Parliament Hill at 1:12 am est.

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

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.
