#FreedomConvoy2022 just show up in #yeg and counter protesters are rocking it!
The Glenora Club security is telling at counter protesters to get off the road
The convoy is mad honking now lol
Lots of people driving by to scheer on the counter protesters
Chanting going on rn. Watch the live up top of the 🧵
Captain Canada trying to start shit
A group of counter-counter protesters has shown up across the street to counter the counter protest at Royal Glenora Club. Come show support for the #FreedomConvoy2022 counterprotesters
Cops showed up to try to move the counter protest. Watch it live up top
The convoy is so mad they're not allowed to block traffic they called the cops lol
Gonna walk the road and see how many trucks are blocked
Overheard cops on radio. Gonna try to talk with counter protest organizers and move them along
Telling them to gtfo the road or face force. If non compliance then arrest. Watch live up top for more
Cops show up faster to remove peaceful counter protests than when responding to an violent crime. Watch love up top
Cops brought a van to move peaceful counter protesters so racist convoy protesters can continue disrupting traffic in Edmonton
Cop camera guy. I think he's getting ready in case theres arrests?
Traffic safety arrests. Mischief is being threatened. "Several acts" they can use to enforce. But "we're not trying to disperse you"
Cos are coming in soon if they dont move
I suspect another 20 mins. Gonna try to find put from the cops. So far the camera guy isn't very helpful with info. As we are
"Yeah let's go nurses!!!"
Cops are mobilizing
The "about to beat up peaceful protesters" patrol aka @edmontonpolice
Organizers said 1 hour and cops said no while they are blaming the drone that the #FreedomConvoy2022 brought and are illegally using. Whatever they can make up to move everyone
Overheard and org/cop convo and orgs say they're not leaving until team 2 of cops shows up with force
Cop giving orders for marching police in front of the counter protest
This is gonna be interesting. Pretty sure the counter protesters will move at the last minute though
Lol the counter counter protest formed their own line
This truck was driving with his phone in his hand. This cop saw. I told him. He didnt give a fuck about someone breaking a real law
The counter protest got moved. The cops are keeping groups separated
Cops forming a line to protect the convoy. Most peaceful protesters have left. The convoy is slowly moving
Convo driving by. Literally the first truck is honking his way down Rover Valley Road and the cops dont give a fuck
That's it for me. Join me the next time these guys decide to steal my Saturday morning cartoon day
Forgot to mention: I forgot to ask organizers who the "group" was that organized the counter protest. I'm sure the cops will let us know. I'll see if my sources know anything

Set a reminder for #KenneysSafeSpace! We'll be chatting about potential CRTC rules violations & what to do about it
twitter.com/i/spaces/1BdxY…
#KenneysSafeSpace How To Lodge A Complaint:

So Step 1 is to contact the Station:
Looks like John Vos is Program director for 630CHED & 770CHQR. Here is his email which can be found on their websites: john.vos@corusent.com globalnews.ca/pages/contact-…
globalnews.ca/pages/contact-… Image
The 2nd step is to give Corus a few days. There isn't a guideline for how long you should wait on the CRTC site but they recommend submitting the report within 4 weeks so a week seems like enough time for a response from a responsible broadcaster trying to represent our community Image

I'm not a radio expert. I left the industry 9 years ago after I tried to transition and was treated like a black sheep by everyone I thought was my friend. I came out to someone who claimed to be the HR rep but was really just the gossip queen of the office.
This was a few weeks after I told my radio commercial writing boss that I was anti-theist and refused to write commercials promoting religion to which he replied, "Tough shit. I don't like the guys at this Ford dealership but I still write for them."
And that was a few weeks after he called me into his office to rewrite a commercial for a flower shop because I had flowers being choked out by truck fumes as a joke to which he said, "You can't make that joke. Our biggest advertisers are truck dealerships"

Meanwhile, at the #FreedomConvoy2022 in Coutts / Milk River, Alberta a dog was detained by police for skateboarding. Some guy from Facebook(our audio analysts think he may be Diddy Kong based on his laugh ), has a clip /s
"Freedom Fred" managed to escape police custody and started ramming onlookers with his skateboard while police watched /s
The dog tried to escape the area but quickly turned around when he realized he was surrounded by police /s
