The factions as best I can tell: Pat King seen in the red zone often and in what he calls a command centre. Seems to have lots of support from the protesters who are still here (q.v. @Justin_Ling for more on him). /

The Tamara Lich / Benjamin Dichter group, launched the GoFundMe and have held three pressers (last two were invite-only). Represented by lawyer Keith Martin. Claim to be the true voice of the protest. Disavows any ties Pat King. /
Tom Marazzo. Spoke about forming coalition with oppo parties and the GG at late night presser three days, with Lich and Chris Barber in the room, apparently prompting Canada Unity to walk back its demands to take control of govt. /
Chris Barber. Seemed to be part of Lich group earlier but has been posting a lot of TikTok rants without them and warning police are about to move in. The Kremlinogy is fuzzy--didn't see him at Lich-Dichter thing yesterday. /
So who is really running the show? 🤷♀️ But it looks like there are two main factions. If the unlikely event the city decides to speak with the leadership, they'll have to figure it out. /Fin.
* Correction: the lawyer is Keith Wilson, not Martin.
