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.

8. So yes, Pat remains a lying liar who lies... but with a restricted handgun he wasn't allowed to own as part of a peace bond agreement.
9. It was noted that some people were streaming or otherwise sharing the hearing online. This is a big no no.

10. Who is one of the people streaming the hearing illegally?

Well, that would be Owen Swiderski.
11. You might remember Swiderski in some of Pat King's videos in the background. You might also remember him as one of the partners in the crypto scam (along with Pat's would-be surety Kerry Komix)
12.
14. Looks like Owen Swiderski also illegally shared the bail hearing of Tyson "Freedom George" Billings as well.

There was a woman in the video with Swiderski helping him whom I don't recognize.
15. Bail denied on all grounds.

Pat King looks to be in real legal trouble.
17. I thought Pat King said that all he needed to do was to recite some Latin legal woo and he would be out immediately?
18. Perhaps he didn't say them precisely right?

19. Pro tip. If tens of thousands... or hundreds of thousands... or, hell, millions of people you don't personally know are celebrating that you didn't get bail, it might be time to do some deep introspection into your life and where things started to go wrong.
21. Pro tip 2: If you find your name is trending and people responding aren't posting this gif, consider the reason why.
22. Now it perhaps shouldn't be surprising that Pat King gave someone control of his Facebook page. These were posted with the past hour.
23. These are not all the comments praising Pat King's courage and honesty, as well as the ubiquitous "fake news" or its equivalent attack on media they don't like.

They are however representative.
24. We are also seeing some reaction to Pat King remaining in jail from some of his supporters like the Yellow Vest hold-outs in Calgary.
25. Still, not everyone is a fan.
26.
27. So with Pat King on cooling his jets in jail, what about some of the other people I've been looking at.

Let's start with Diagolon de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie.

antihate.ca/jeremy_raging_…
28. Suffice it to say he was not especially happy with how he was portrayed on @cbcfifth.

And because he has the maturity of a 2 year old when he is being petulant, he of course also comments on superficial looks as an attack.
29. And among the targets of his ire is @antihateca as he promotes a website aimed at getting us "defunded."
30. I mean, we have only had one grant from the government and most of our funding comes from private sources, but hey, you do you.
31. But mostly he has been commenting on Russia's invasion of Ukraine because, you know, he opposes authoritarianism so long as it isn't actually authoritarianism.
32.
33. Remember, he considers the relatively gentle removal of #OttawaOccupiers (when compared to other police actions) as brutality that will leave a stain on the country for generations.

Actual authoritarianism, he's pretty okay with though.

34. And if MacKenzie goes 12 hours without whining about being victimized by CAHN reporting on what he actually says, I'll be impressed.
35. Next we have Tyler Russell of the hate group Canada First.

36. Tyler is being a bit less subtle in that his his throwing his full support behind the autocratic Putin.
37.
38. Yeah, I like her chances better than yours boy.
39. Mostly though he has been boasting about how he has made it to Florida to attend the more racist version of CPAC so he and his buddy Nick Fuentes could hang out and be cool and totally not cringey dweebs.
42.
43. For more information take a look at the following link.

45. I mean, this is actually a fair point.

Where exactly is BJ Dichter?

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?

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.
