Big news from the trucker convoy:
1/ The People's Convoy (the largest organization) has officially "cut ties" with Leigh Dundas, an anti-vax lawyer who was involved with the Jan. 6 insurrection.

2/ For background on Dundas' involvement, the People's Convoy joined forces with her in early February, & they met on Zoom to iron out logistics. Here's Dundas on 2/4: "US convoy coming soon.... I'm working with a lot of different trucking factions over the next 48 hours here."
3/ It's not clear exactly why the People's Convoy has parted ways with Dundas beyond this statement: "We only have like-minded individuals in our organization and are continually rooting out people that do not have the best interest of the convoy in mind."
4/ Whatever the reason for the split, Dundas has been speaking at every stop on the convoy. Here she is at a recent stop making a highly emotive appeal by equating COVID restrictions w/ child sex trafficking — basically as different kinds of "tyranny."

5/ In the past these kinds of hyperbolic charges mixed with misinformation have escalated into calls for violence, as on 1/5/21 when Dundas suggested it would be justifiable to "take [elected officials] out back and shoot 'em or hang 'em."
