1/6. The CBC released names of the 11 armed people arrested in #Coutts Mon night:

One of them is Joanne Person of Coutts, whose FB page includes multiple Islamophobic posts. #FreedomConvoy

They're so numerous I can hardly keep up. Here's a sampling:

2/6. Another example is pushing the idea that the Trudeau Liberals are working with Islamists trying to take over Canada.

Or, as Person would have it, working for the Nation of Islam.

3/6. She also pushes a common anti-Muslim idea about Islam being a political ideology masquerading as a religion.

And other old school hits such as the CBC is working for Islamists, part of an "Islamic Conquest" of Canada.

4/6. Joanna has been charged, but is out on bail, according to the CBC. She lives in Coutts, AB. She is charged with:

- Possession of a weapon
- Mischief to property over $5,000

4 others have been charged with conspiracy to murder.

🙄🧐🤔Gee, I wonder who they wanna murder.

5/6. Among the seized items last night is a tactical vest with the "Infidel" patch stitched to it.

This alerted many that Islamophobia is motivating these guys in the convoys.

Joanna Person is just a case in point.

6/6. The anti-mandate convoy is a movement organized by Canada's far-right. Its organizers have a history of Islamophobia.

And it's no surprise that the movement attracts all kinds of similar minded individuals. #Coutts #Alberta #FreedomConvoy #Canada
