2. Because the world has gone mad and most attention is being paid to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there probably won't be may updates in this thread. In fact as a lot of right-wing extremists have turned their attention to supporting Putin I'll probably soon focus on that.
3. However, in the meantime, we see a fascinating response to the end of the Emergency Act.

The supporters of the #OttawaOccupation appear to believe that they won?
4. For example, Steven Lane of the Urban Infidels who looks to have spent much of the month in what appears to have been a state of chemically induced delirium states he is "just getting started" which makes as much sense as you would imagine. ImageImage
5. Anti-immigration/anti-Muslim conspiracy promoter Brad Salzburg claims that the Prime Minister was told to roll it back by the banks. Some believe the senate was going to kybosh it while others continue to invoke the World Economic Forum (WEF) boogeyman. ImageImageImage
6. One Calgary Yellow Vester's post resulted in a number of comments which proves that Canadian social studies curriculum need to do a much better job in teaching civics and how government actually works. ImageImageImageImage
7. Like, they really have no idea. ImageImageImageImage
8. Finally, Chris Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) suggests that the Senate about to nix the Emergencies Act and that Trudeau was trying to save face. Image
9. Given what I was watching on CPAC and given that the Senate is dominated by appointments made by the Prime Minister (independent though they might be), this claim seems divorced from reality.
10. But then Mr. Teeth is desperate to maintain his importance. Image
11. OH! Istanbul you say?
13. Now, staying with Saccoccia (aka Chris Sky) and his desire for clout for a moment longer, he also made an outlandish claim last night that was immediately and easily debunked. Image
14. Yeah, no. No Tamara Lich was not found dead in her cell.
16. While not suggesting she has been murdered, other supporters of the #OttawaOccupation and the blockades are claiming that Lich and the others still in custody (Pat King and I presume George Billings) are political prisoners. ImageImageImageImage
17. And no.

No, denying someone bail isn't torture. ImageImageImage
18. Someone posting on Pat King's Telegram page (which more and more I'm suspecting MAY not be legitimate) writes the most important thing now is to get all political prisoners out of jail.

None of these people are political prisoners. Image
19. Now that being said, I do recognize some disparity in treatment. While Lich (who might have been the most moderate of the bunch and THAT is really a damning indictment because she isn't a moderate) languishes in jail, other leaders are free.
20. BJ Dichter. Daniel Bulford. Tom Marazzo. Tom Quiggin.

None of them are in jail and they were all equally as culpable as Ms. Lich.
21. Chris Barber was arrested, however he WAS able to post bail.

Be also seems to be violating the terms of his bail release with some impunity if my reading of the conditions is correct.

22. So, why the disparity?
23. A reminder that the @cbcfifth documentary on the #OttawaOccupation and blockades is tonight at 9:00 pm est (7:00 pm mst).

24. So some of the totally normal and completely not bat fucking crazy posts found in the Global Freedom Convoy chat. ImageImageImageImage
25. Well this is an interesting video.

26. I'm getting better at this.

27. So I may have erred. It looks like the @cbcfifth documentary is on at 9:00 pm mst, not 7:00.

However, there is an episode of "Coronation Street" that you could watch before hand if you'd like. :)
28. Well, I didn't suck.

That's a good thing.
29. My mother keeps my humble. Image
30. New night. New mug.

And yes I KNOW it isn’t a mug!

One of my best friends Greg got me some crystal port glasses for my 40th. The drink is a dessert wine made by my dad. Image

1. Day 27.

I slept in. I'm okay with that decision.

Here is yesterday's thread.
2. Probably the biggest #OttawaOccupy event today is Pat King's bail hearing. I'll get to that shortly, but my most important news of the day is that I'm starting to kick as at Wordle.

3. The fine folks at @antihateca are live tweeting the hearing. Big news there is the Crown brought forth new evidence that may affect the decision to grant bail and are asking t reopen the hearing.

1. Day 25.

Obviously I'm a bit late today.

Yesterday's thread below.

2. Sort of taking a bit of a break. Things look slowish right now (though I haven't actually done a deep dig) so I figured that this would be an appropriate time.
3. That said, I missed this when it first came out.

1. Day 24.

I have a feeling that this is going to be, for all intents and purposes, the last longish thread and it won't focus entirely on this day's events.

Previous thread can be found here.

2. The big story of the morning is that Tamara Lich was denied bail.

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.

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.
