1. Yesterday Randy Hillier turned himself in to the OPS.
2. Suffice it to say his supporters are not handling it well, many of who are outraged that their favourite politician is facing charges they believe politically motivated and are instead demanding politically motivated charges against politicians they don't like so... okay?
3. This very short comment, at least for me, really encapsulates who these people truly are however and is the most telling.
5. Far-right pseudo-journalist Leigh Stewart noted some of the conditions while clutching her pearls.
6. And Diagolon's Alex Vriend, if he were honest, would be perfectly content with a right-wing dictatorship is angry that political figures that he likes aren't' above the law.
7. But perhaps of some interest to the readers is that Hillier, as part of the conditions of his release, isn't allowed to talk to members of Diagolon (at least de facto leader Jeremy Mackenzie).
13. Now I didn't see if my good friend Derek Harrison (who is in no way obsessed with me and my fashion choices) was on the list, but he also has a connection with Hillier.
17. I would also recommend @seywarddarby's excellent 'Sisters in Hate" which profiles Lana Lokteff, 'Red Ice' co-host with her husband Henrik Palmgren.
Well, we start off by discussing, "fake and gay" accusations because Palmgren is a mature and sophisticated mofo.
19. Hey! Looks like @antihateca also gets some love from Derek though, as he is prone to bring us up at every opportunity, shouldn't perhaps be surprising.
20. Also, remember Derek Harrison is TOTALLY not a racist.
I know this because he says so, though he also says a lot of things that are really racist so this is a bit of a conundrum I guess.
21. Here they discuss the OUTRAGEOUS conditions that Hillier has to agree to in order to be released which are, well, actually really reasonable and mild.
22. Wait. The #OttawaOccupation was non-violent and there was no profanity?
I mean, the violence has already been detailed repeatedly, but is Derek really trying to convince people that there was nothing profane?
23. Like... really?
24. Here a pro-capitalist and opponent of socialism demonstrates he doesn't know how markets work in less than 40 seconds.
25. And let's just finish this with the wit and wisdom of this particular brain trust as they again demonstrate what quality human beings they are.
26. As for Jeremy Mackenzie himself, he seems to be doing what Jeremy Mackenzie does which probably isn't especially helpful to himself.
27.

2. So how are Mr. Randy Hillier's supporters dealing with this news?
Uhm, with quiet dignity?
Yeah, not so much.
Ezra Levant engages in the usual hyperbole.
3. And Diagolon de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie (and far-right pseudo-journalist Leigh Stewart), who routinely call for the arrest of politicians they want charged for enforcing legal mandates, are outraged that politicians they like might be held to account.
1. Learning the Cyrillic alphabet wasn't on my Saturday morning bingo card when I woke up today.
Canada's QAnon self-proclaimed queen Romana Didulo is still touring the country.
Today she claimed to have received a personal gift from Vladimir Putin.
What a time to be alive.
2. What a time to be alive.
3. Now I automatically jumped to the "'Thing That Never Happened' for $2000 Alex" conclusion however her spectacularly credulous followers were credulous as always.
1. As an educator finishing up his 20th year in the classroom, I've come to recognize and look forward to serendipitous teachable moments.
And on March 20, Derek Harrison provided me with just such an opportunity.
2. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Derek Harrison (aka "Rants" aka "Rants Derek"), a founding and charter member of the Plaid Army/Diagolon seen in this video showing he doesn't understand what "coup" means, was a frequent subject of the ARC when it was active.
3. He was one of Faith Goldy's helper monkeys on her ill-fated mayoral campaign.
3. Prior to the protest and in anticipation of the injunction being acted upon, one of the organizing groups (Calgary Freedom Central) posted this on their Facebook page.
1. So I don't talk at length these days about the QAnon self-proclaimed Queen of Canada Romana Didulo these days primarily because she is a side show.
2. She is of course a concern because of the power she wields over her followers and that she has has called for violence towards the government and anyone associated with the Covid vaccination programme.
