4. This morning Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First continues to try to instigate. His supporters continue to post racist and anti-Semitic, and now increasingly violent, rhetoric.
5. Not especially subtle this one.
6.
7.
8.
9. I combined the videos to minimize the number of tweets in the thread.
14. And they continue to act like children believing the harassment of journalists is like a shot being fired in the great race war they seem to be pushing for.
15.
16. And just to show how tight the Diagolon and Canada First dweebs are with Max Bernier and Randy Hillier, @TonyYvce has this to offer.
18. Apparently things not going well for Tamara Lich at her bail hearing. No transportation back to Alberta (flew to Ottawa with help from someone named Joseph), have a huge hotel bill, and her assets are frozen. Judge seems dubious about her husban acting as a surety.
19. In tweet two I wrote Jeremy Vriend. That was an error. It was Alex Vriend of Diagolon who appears to have been arrested. Jeremy MacKenzie is the de facto leader of Diagolon.
23. @JamesDBowie has some fantastic coverage of the Tamara Lich bail hearing. Follow him.
24. Occupation participant and supporter Jim Kerr has been streaming through most of the events yesterday. His most recent stream seems to suggest that there are a lot of trucks and vehicles that are now leaving.
25.
26.
27.
28. Diagolon de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie posted a video and a caption ridiculing the arrest of Diagolon member Alex Vriend.
29.
30. He also posted tweets by Republican congresswoman Yvette Herrell who says that political asylum should be offered to occupiers.
At the same time MacKenzie seems to suggest that the United States should invade Canada to remove the elected government to restore democracy.
31. Given Congresswoman Herrell's recent history of trying to subvert democratic elections, I can't say any of this is especially shocking.
37. Jeremy MacKenzie, de facto leader of Diagolon, continues to platform and support the American far-right who are agitating for an invasion of Canada.
"I would welcome American soldiers with open arms, free beers and a fireteam partner at this point."
38. Chris Saccoccia (Chris Sky) claims more people are going to Ottawa. Also says that those arrested will be released in 20 minutes and tells them to go back to the occupation when they are.
That is very bad advice.
Also, I timed by screen shot on purpose.
39.
40. QAnon and Trump supporter Logan Murphy posted the Coutts search warrant which is apparently going to blow the whole thing wide open!
I mean... sure?
41. Currently in Edmonton, he suggests the helicopters are tracking honking horns.
42.
43. Tyler First, head of the racist Canada First, posted a video of @GregFergus who appears to have very correctly described Canada First as exactly what it is.
44.
45. The comments are as repulsive as you would imagine and further confirm the types of people whom Canada First are.
46. Russell also suggests he isn't the fan of freedom expression and political dissent he has claimed he is during the past three weeks.
47. I'm sure the folks in Ottawa won't miss y'all.
49. Far-right pseudo-journalist and #OttawaOccupier supporter Leigh Stewart asks people to "hold the line" while posting a video of a truck not holding the line.
Also, she isn't much of a police supporter these days.
50.
51. I stopped doing the webcam screen shots yesterday, but here are some of the most recent.
Looks like things have cleared up considerably in Ottawa.
52. #OttawaOccupation supporter and participant Jim Kerr posted this latest clip a little over half an hour ago. Street he is on fairly clear of vehicles.
75. Might as well just get to the point. Diagolon members have released a leaked list of police officers involved in the efforts in Ottawa right now. I've edited the Telegram posts to conceal identities of those in the chat.
I deleted the original tweet to ensure more anonymity.
76. Jeremy MacKenzie, the Diagolon de facto leader who is among those who shared the leak, seems very pleased with himself.
91. Other far-right groups and individuals are sharing the leak as well including both Canada First groups (Tyler Russell's CF and the former Proud Boy chapter that rebranded as CF).
Here a re a few representative comments.
92. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) also shared it though in typical Mr. Teeth fashion he made it about his own perceived victimization.
93. Remember when Diagolon members including Jeremy MacKenzie were upset when Frank Magazine published his address which was included in the warrant?
107. Derek Harrison posted the following. If this is true it looks like the harassment of police officers in the leaked chat has begun. And if the comments certainly suggests that their families are also being targeted.
108. Derek Harrison is the Diagolon member who, just before the occupation started in earnest, hoped that someone would drive a truck through the wall surrounding the Parliament Building.
"I would like to see our very own January 6 event."
111. Nothing says not threatening like a modulated voice and concealed identity making demands.
112. Let's see...
Refuse to go to work + Demand end of mandates and Trudeau's resignation + Make claims about masks, distancing, and vaccines that are patently untrue + Not knowing how the political system works + ? = Profit!
113. I'd write something snarky about these comments but I sort of feel that they have taken away the joy of presenting a challenge.
114. Police whose information was revealed in the leak and their families continue to be harassed.
115. I'm going to include this in the thread because @RVAwonk is someone who is definitely someone you should follow and listen to. An incredible researcher.
2. First a few things I caught before but didn't post.
First, Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First believes because he was on a far-right video stream which attracts far-right listeners that they are "inevitable."
Folks, classic example of the echo chamber at work.
2. So I left off talking about Pat King's stream last night and though it was a bit later in the clip, Pat actually used they "I have a Jewish" lawyer argument to "prove" he isn't a racist.
2. I was sent this yesterday. It is a clip of another occupier that catches Pat King in a conversation.
Pat said he was sick but got better. He then adds that this is "survival of the fittest" which is an odious suggestion that those who die are not fit to live.
3. Now I don't want to focus a lot on Pat King, but he did post a "patrol" video last night.
2. Parliament Hill at 9:18 am est and other webcam images at various times this morning.
3. So yesterday I listened to a Twitter Spaces meeting and Q&A with some of the leadership including BJ Dichter. It was an often acrimonious discussion, much related to the letter Tamara Lich and @JimWatsonOttawa negotiated. Suffice it to say there is dissention.
