1. Day 23 and this might be my last long thread on the subject of the #OttawaOccupation and the blockades.

No doubt there will be other action but perhaps not the level of the past three weeks.

Yesterday's thread below.

2. While I haven't been focusing on the QAnon self-proclaimed Queen, Romana Didulo and her entourage continue to hold court in Ottawa in their world that continues to be divorced from reality.
3. But even she seems to recognize that it is time to go home.
4. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) continues to try to will things into existence.
6. Both Tamara Lich and Pat King remain in jail, however they were both featured on "Last Week Tonight" with John Oliver thus immortalizing their infamy internationally.

7. Alex Vriend appears to recount his encounter with the police which led to his being taken into custody with accompanying video.
8.
10. #OttawaOccupation supporter and participant Jim Kerr posts videos of police action against the occupiers.
11. It is funny how many "back the blue" folks no longer "back the blue" when they realize the police aren't used to put down Indigenous, BLM, environmentalist, and anti-capitalist protests exclusively (even though the #OttawaOccupiers were still treated gently by comparison).
12. Get prepared?

That doesn't sound especially non-violent to me.
13. In Alberta, QAnon and Trump acolyte (and now apparently Diagolon supporter) Logan Murphy promotes the next protest which sort of has the feeling of the regular protests that take place. As it isn't on a weekend we'll see how it turns out for them.
15. A very interesting perspective on the police actions this weekend by @Justin_Ling. Take a look at his thread.

17. I was just out in my home town and found that this is the extent of the protests where I live.
18. On the plus side, I never find my name on things in stores. I found my name on a thing in a store.

And I bought it because I’ll probably never find something like it again.
19. Remember when the convoy supporter started screaming at a lone protester trying to stop the convoy from harassing people in his town?

Well there was arrest.

Of course it wasn't the arrest of the person it should have been.

20 Looks like the trucker who assaulted him was also arrested (thank you @brennanleffler for catching this).

peterboroughpolice.com/en/news/media-…
21. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) brags about how he was "right again" because someone on Rumble reposts a conspiracy theory that Chris himself shared having heard it from someone else.
22. He also posted a video about condemning the police who acted to arrest the #OttawaOccupiers as well as the police and military who didn't, and let's be honest about what he is suggesting, help engage in a coup against a democratically elected government.
23. Question.

Do you think Mr. Teeth is allergic to sleeves?
24. But mostly he is back to narcistic event planning.
25. I had a brain fart when I wrote earlier that the QAnon self-proclaimed Queen was returning to Victoria. She actually wrote she was going to the east coast. I'm guessing this is part of her royal tour of her domain.

Here is her proposed itinerary (subject to rv rental).
26. "New Foundland.

Don't assume this is a typo. She may have decided to rename the province.
27. She is also back to making pronouncements on world events such as pulling out Canadian troops from Ukraine despite Canada not actually having troops stationed in Ukranine.
28. Oh, and she formally recognizes Russia's right to annex territory in Ukraine.

How magnanimous of her!
30. Also, this to ensure her subjects that this is all her brain child.
31. "Nobody writes my Speeches or gives me notes."

I don't doubt this for a moment Your Majesty!

33. Small protests continue at the War Museum.

Earlier today Jim Kerr drove by although he apparently thinks it is Saturday, February 20 which is wrong because it is Monday February 20 a Saturday was February 19.
34.
35. It is Monday, February 21.

It is not Monday, February 20 as I wrote in tweet #33.

It has been a long 23 days for all of us I guess.
39. Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) comments on the passing of the Emergencies Act.
40. And of course berates his supporters for not being independently wealthy because of their parents.

I mean, that is the subtext.
41. Because Chris Sky has to Chris Sky.

42. The comments however are worrisome.
43.
44. Thanks @CanuckinO for giving me the heads up on this.

45. The protest, if that is what it can be called now, was continuing at the War Museum at least as of an hour ago.
46.
47. The most recent from this batch. I don't know if they are still there, but by the looks of this it doesn't really matter if they are.
48. Finished watching a movie. Forgot about this thread, which may be a sign of a return to normal.

I'll put something up tomorrow but it may really be that this is sort of over, at least for the time being.

1. By now I'm guessing that most of my Twitter followers are aware of the most recent threats against Trudeau and the subsequent of a suspect. I think there is an even more important story though related to the poisonous influence of social media

2. Dawid Zalewski was arrested for making death threats against the Prime Minister. The following video was posted to his second Facebook profile. Be warned that it may be triggering as it promotes graphic violence against the PM and others.
3. Zalewski is clearly not well, but I think would be wrong to dismissively call him "crazy" move on without further examination. There is a reason why he got to this point and I believe we can learn a great deal from his social media footprint.

1. I’ve been enjoying my summer break and have not been paying a lick of attention to the Olympics. Until today however since Twitter has collectively lost the plot.
2. Earlier boxer Imane Khelif defeated her Italian opponent in the first round when Angela Carini quit after 45 seconds stating that she had never been hit so hard.

To be fair, I don’t enjoy being punched in the face either so I can at least sympathize with Carini.
3. Now a preliminary fight would never be important enough to make international news under normal circumstances however we are, as the saying goes, living in interesting times.

1. Given what is happening in Jasper, these all seem to be especially relevant.

1. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) was arrested in Calgary on an immigration warrant apparently. He may have since been released, though he has to turn in his passport and remain in southern Alberta.

I'd prefer that he be kicked out immediately.
2. Despite claiming to have been a "political prisoner" many of Yaxley-Lennon's criminal convictions his Islamophobic "activism" and a number of convictions since have had nothing to do with his political views.
3. In 2005, he was convicted assaulting a police officer who intervened during an argument Yaxley-Lennon was having with his then girlfriend.

1/ It's been a while since I've done a thread here, but the recent focus on Pat King got me to wondering what was up with his own Salacious Crumb, Tyson "Freedom George" Billings.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
Image
2/ Last time I looked at Billings he was a part of the efforts to set up a permenant camp outside Ottawa so there could be daily protests, though the original plan involved surrounding the police and arresting politicians.

Suffice to say it didn't go anywhere.
3/ Billings and Ron Clark soon headed home, but they both soon got involved in other protests including the anti-carbon tax protests occurring in the province. The numbers at these events have been small but that hasn't stopped from politicians from courting the fringes it seems. Image

1/ Though I'm not especially active these days, I'm still sometimes gobsmacked by some of the ridiculous (though sadly effective) rage farming by some on the right. Harrison Faulkner of "True North" is just a recent example of that. Image
2/ So a bit of background. Musical artist Karan Aujla won the 2024 TikTok Juno Fan Choice Award at the award ceremony this past weekend.

I think it was this weekend. Truth be told I don't pay a lot of attention to awards shows.

3/ It should be noted that Aujla has been in Canada for years emigrating as an orphan. He graduated from high school in Canada. The album was produced by a Canadian on a Canadian label.

He has made his home here.
