2. Parliament Hill (and other Ottawa locations) at 9:30 am est.
3. First, some levity.

This was trending when I went to bed.
4. Rebel News also has the audio of Doug Ford apparently planning on ending mandates soon.

Wayne Peters ("What's Up Canada") doesn't seem to care and suggests that protests will continue.
5. Plaid Army/Diagolon member Alex Vriend was pleased that Rebel Media decided to record his song and dance.
6.
8. Plaid Army/Diagolon defacto leader Jeremy MacKenzie is also calling people out to shore up the small group of protesters blockading the Ambassador Bridge.
11. In news I missed from the Coutts border blockade, it would appear that those individuals are also adopting the dangerous sovcit ideology.

13. And FNMI peoples continue to note the disparity in treatment.

14. Reports of continued harassment and threats continue to be shared.

19. In Ottawa, 400 or more hate crimes have been reported from the "peaceful protesters."

21. The Americans are also catching wind and saying, "Uhm, you guys want to do something about your domestic terrorists any time soon? We can help if you'd like."

cbc.ca/news/politics/…
22. Also the injunction application to end the blockade at the Ambassador bridge will take place today.

cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…
23. Of some interest perhaps is this which apparently has been shared amongst the leadership in the Convoy East chat yesterday evening.

Take with several heaping grains of salt.
24. I think in some ways this sums everything up nicely.

25. This morning the talk if of the @fordnation leaked call suggesting the end of mandates was imminent.
26. Of come significance however, I can't seem to find Pat King's Facebook page where he has been active any longer.
27. Currently a lane appears to be open at the Coutts border.

28. And regarding the Ambassador Bridge, American politicians are using the situation to promote protectionist policies.

29. With this (and the mystery cliffhanger regarding Patrick King's apparent disappearance on Facebook) I will end this until I'm back from work.
30. I have a shorter day today, but will be going for lunch with some friends before I'm back.

I could go for the baked blueberry brie, but I'll probably go with my old bbq pulled port grilled cheese.

Don't give away the home world.
31. Lunch time!
32. Well people solved the mystery of Pat's missing Facebook page pretty quickly when they found him on his alternate account he set up when he was locked out of his first account before setting up the third account that was shit down today.

I know. Quite the web we weave.
33. He apparently decided to move over to his Instagram account. He claims he didn't violate Facebooks tos (he has frequently) and that he is being "silenced" because Trudeau is afraid of him.

Sweetie, Justin Trudeau wouldn't be able to pick you out of a lineup so sit down.
34. In fact, Pat King pulls out the "Facebook will be talking to my lawyers" card which is almost sort of adorable in its naïveté.
35. Also, I have no idea why the programme I'm using to make ready Pat King's Instagram clips for uploading to Twitter seem to turn him into a piece of spaghetti in some of them.

Please bare with me.
36. In fact it seems to be a big day for legal threats as later he claims, while waiting in a car, that he will soon be speaking to a lawyer to sue CBC and CTV for defamation of character and to have them served with cease and desist orders.
37. In other words, he wants the media to stop telling the truth about him.

Pat doesn't realize that IF he were successful in bringing this to court, (a) there is ample evidence to prove the media's case and (b) they get to challenge him for his lies under oath.
38. And speaking of lies, Pat King claimed that his FB page was verified meaning that FB wasn't allowed to unpublish/remove it.
39. To that, no it wasn't and no that isn't an actual rule Pat.

Also, a short and fantastic takedown of Pat King and how he operates.

40. We now have reached the airing of grievances point of Pat King's whine as he complains about all the times he has been done wrong just because of all the things he has done.

I mean, mostly things that get you arrested and/or fined, but let's not split hairs.
41. Finally wondering why the government is afraid of what he describes as a tailgate party (which would no doubt enrage Ottawa residents who have had to deal with their lives disrupted) he suggests he will create his own platform if they all shut him down.
42. I really, REALLY, would like to see what Pat could come up with as a platform on his own because I would laugh for hours!
43. Looking at other groups, Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First seems a bit stressed by today's announcement by the Ontario government.
44. The meltdown from Canada First members/supporters really is quite something to behold.
45.
46. Well I should have looked because it seems as of three hours ago Pat King is back on Facebook.

He thanks "the lawyers" for getting his profile restored which is cute because there is no way that is true.
47. Later Pat King and Tyson "Freedom George" Billings posted another video from their vehicle.

It is... uhm... something.
48. Pat reads a letter he says is from a Mason that asks Pat to end the blockade due to the economic turmoil it is causing.

If he does that, the Mason will use all his Masony powers to make Pat King the Prime Minister.
49. Suffice it to say I am skeptical about the provenance of a document Pat struggles to read (he gets quite upset when someone mentions his reading too).
50. Pat King says they've got the billionaire "oliarks" sic on the ropes! They took millions from them so no it is our turn.

I didn't know that truckers unable to transport goods or workers in a Ford plant were billionaires because it is those kinds of workers who are suffering.
51. I really have no other caption here other than Pat King is dumb.

Like, really, really, dumb.
52. Tyson Billings shouts an ultimatum to Premier Moe to immediately remove all mandates including, I presume, what he believes is the poison vaccine.

I mean, in between vaping that is because that is healthy I suppose.
53. I love the clips where Pat brags about how great he is not to have an ego and that he allows the little people to feel important.
54. Uhm... what you are describing is socialism Pat.

You know, one of the things you don't actually understand but say you hate.
55. They aren't fighting by raising their fists but with their hearts and their minds.

I almost spit my beer through my knows when he said they were using their minds.
56. As for no violence, we could make a pretty long list of examples for Pat at this point.

57. And I finish with a reminder that, again, Pat King is a buffoon.
58. Earlier today @fordnation's government declared a state of emergency.

cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
59. So what is the response in some circles.

The Plaid Army/Diagolon members Jeremy MacKenzie and Derek Harrison don't seem especially impressed.
60. In stating that "they're not leaving" I can't help noticing that Derek seems to be at his own home rather than any of the occupations or blockades.
63. Defacto leader of the Plaid Army/Diagolon is equally excited.
64.
68. About an hour ago, the #OttawaOccupiers put up a new structure in defiance of the police.

69. Far-right pseudo-journalist Leigh Stewart used her platform to call on people to assist.
70.
71. Yesterday she seemed to be gloating about the alleged leaked call suggesting Ford was dropping mandates.

Today she seemed a bit more irritable.
72. And though I've seen it elsewhere, she also posted this.
73. Police: "Hey, we saw you posting on a public forum you were going to do something illegal."

Karen: "How DARE the police waste taxpayer dollars and invade my privacy by telling me I shouldn't do crime!"
74. Jeremy MacKenzie urges people to help those blocking the Ambassador Bridge to violate the injunction.

It should be noted that he isn't there himself and doesn't appear likely to go. Others can risk arrest, not him.
75. Also, and while I can't be certain of the accuracy of this, if it is true it doesn't seem like it will require a herculean to move the bloackade.

76. Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First posts a tweet by Max Bernier for criticizing the Prime Minister for focusing on Ukraine rather than on the situation in Canada.

Russell's supporters post antisemitic replies because, again, of course they do.
77. This gentleman gives a fantastic analysis of the sovcit effort of people involved in the blockades.

78. This is the best one yet!

Get to the end. You will absolutely NOT be disappointed!

79. I missed this clip but glad that someone didn't.

Yeah, two weeks in an Ottawa hotel room, probably close to Parliament Hill, is likely to be pricey.

80. Chris Saccoccia (Chris Sky) also continues to encourage those at the Ambassador Bridge blockade to stay the course and defy the injunction.

He too is nowhere near Windsor.
81.
82.
83. Mr Teeth also continues to prepare to bring supplies to Coutts.

I somehow don't think that it will go like he thinks it will.
84.
85. More on Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky).

antihate.ca/antisemitic_is…
88. Though at this exact moment they are taking a well deserved break, @ChepekaCollin is covering the events at the Ambassador Bridge. Definitely worth a follow.

89. Just checked a feed of the blockade at the Ambassador Bridge and just happened to see the comment scrolling on the side.

Yep. Totally about mandates.
90. How do I relax while doing this?

Beer and British archaeology baby.
91. Well this is interesting.

Alex Vriend of the Plaid Army/Diagolon is still in Ottawa and mentions an American he refers to as "Old Guard" from Oklahoma trying to make his way to Ottawa.
92. The former Proud Boy chapter of Canada First (not the different, but equally racist, Canada First led by Tyler Russell) posted video from the Ambassador Bridge blockade.

As far as I know, none of the BPCF members are there themselves.
93.
94. QAnon/Donald Trump cultist (and a Canadian who was at the Capitol on January 6 during the insurrection) Logan Murphy also continues to escalate the rhetoric on his Telegram page.
95.
96. He also posted this forwarded message proportion to be from a member of the anti-mandate/anti-vaccine extremists Police on Guard suggesting active RCMP are reticent to act on Coutts.

I'll maintain a healthy skepticism but it is something to consider as possible.
97. In Calgary, the protests outside the Calgary Remand Centre continue.

Dawid Pawlowski is as caustic as usual so I won't bother with the video (nothing new), but he is using two megaphones at the same time so... fun?
98. Would you be surprised if Artur Pawlowski compared his arrest for repeatedly violating bylaws, terms of his release, harassment, and other crimes to the persecution by the Nazis.

If you are surprised, REALLY? This is his go-to schtick!
99. An interesting story coming out.

As always I reserve judgement until I see the evidence, but I also wouldn't be surprised if true.

101. A word from our sponsor... which would be me.

There have been a lot of wonderful people, old followers and new, who have been sending me DMs asking me, "are you okay?"

The short answer is yes. I'm good. 😀
106. I think I best get to sleep. I suspect tomorrow could be busy.

Or not. Who knows at this point?

As always I close with a shot of Parliament Hill at 2:23 am est as well as other web cam shots from the area as well at varying times.

3. So it seems that there is also now a protest delaying traffic at the Ottawa airport.

If this if the "freedoming" Pat King was referring to last night, then weak.

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.

2. Parliament Hill at 9:35 am est.
3. So what happened after I went to bed? Some of the highlights I quickly picked up.

Ed Jamnisek, regular co-host of Kevin Johnston's stream, was wandering around Ottawa while the police were acting.
