It's been over 2 months since the "axe the tax" protests started. But before they started camps in Alberta. Ron Clark & Tyson "George" Billings helped start the convoy camp in Casselman, Ontario. Today one of the property owners posted about the huge mess they left. #convoywatch
It truly does look disgusting. This is the full aftermath of a convoy camp on private land.
Besides leaving a mess that's been taking WEEKS to clean, I've posted before that the convoyers also ran up a huge hydro bill for the property owners. Has that been paid off? Of course not. There's still $3000 owing. How exactly is that "helping Canadians afford their bills"?
Normann, who was a key figure in the camp from the beginning and made big promises when it was moved to private property. also still owes other people money. #grifted
500 lbs of donated potatoes meant to fuel the freedom movement were largely left to rot. If that isn't some kind of metaphor I don't know what is.
Some suspect Normann used money donated to pay the hydro bill to buy himself a truck instead.
Meanwhile in Alberta, convoyer Phil Primeau is outright asking people for $$ to fix his broken Ford F150. In the GoFundMe writeup, he admits his social media history is preventing him from getting any work. Unhinged conspiracy theories & hate don't appeal to employers? Who knew.
Meanwhile, Phil's buddy Chris Scott from the public health defying Whistle Stop Cafe in Alberta had people donate to him so he could buy the cafe. But he said in April he doesn't owe the people who donated their money anything, bec they didn't buy his principles. His legal bills were also covered.
The donations to cover buying the cafe didn't take care of Chris Scott's property taxes though. He almost lost the place in a tax sale - but once again talked someone else into paying $10,700 to save it. He says his "advocacy" has eaten up all his equity & resources.
In his most recent live, Chris Scott says he's found someone willing to buy his house and rent it back to him so he can still live there. Of course he blames the government. A reminder this same man recently travelled to Europe.
Ron and George are both working. George is trucking again and Ron's spent a couple of days tearing down someone's deck. But Ron is still giving his following terrible advice. He says people should just not tell the govt their income, & black out their info when filing taxes.
I checked in on the protestors at the camp where Pierre Poilievre infamously stopped by, and they were told by DOT this weekend to make sure their flags weren't flying over the shoulder line. But DOT didn't notice they're building a platform to stand on next to traffic.
Meanwhile the grift never stops. James Sowery is selling his latest hoodies and he clearly learned nothing from his conviction for dangerous driving - a conviction he's currently appealing using everyone else's $$.
Cosmin meanwhile continues his downward spiral. Here he is harassing police for TikTok likes. Police sound so done with him. However I'm not going to post the 7 min long vid of him being stopped by police while driving because you can hear his child in the background repeating his awful words.
THESE are the people so beloved by the UCP govt & Poilievre's Cons that they get to camp indefinitely for free & hold unpermitted, uninsured events at rest stops & borders. Homeless? Get lost. Students? Shut up. Indigenous? Court injunction. Ditch-based con artists? Well:
The Lloydminster carbon tax camp has folded. Miranda doesn't want to be the lone person trying to keep it going. She says it's done. #convoywatch #carbontaxcamp

It's "Ostrichfest" weekend and someone donated 3 tour buses to take people to the ostrich farm. Whether they actually filled them is an open question. They've created a new #ostrichconvoy Fb group.
So far Qweenie & friends are all smiles out there.
Katie Pasitney asks everyone to set aside their "different belief systems," that what they're doing at the ostrich farm will make people proud to be Canadian, and that they're not part of Bill Gates and the WEF.
The #avianflu infected ostrich farm in BC where convoyers have been camping out LOST in court. In a 136 page decision in favor of the CFIA, the judge ruled the cull can go ahead. Bubble bus convoyer Jim Kerr is now begging for support, hoping RFK Jr. or others will intervene.
James Sowery urges all convoyers to go make a stand at the farm. He can't, because he's still on conditions not to leave Alberta for his previous convoy activities at Coutts.
Jim Kerr says the BC ostrich farm is now the front line of the freedom convoy movement. And they are now "in position" to follow their plans to stop the cull. #convoywatch
The avian flu infected ostrich farm in BC says they will not comply to the CFIA order to cull their birds by Feb 1, and CFIA will have to come do it. Katie the ostrich farmer believes the world is watching & the way Canada should solve the crisis is by NOT culling birds. #birdflu
The ostrich farm was featured on Alberta convoyer and antivaxxer Ron Clark's FB livestream after gaining support from his fellow antivaxx convoyer Colin Bigbear Ross.
The avian flu infected ostrich farm in BC has been holding a YouTube panel of alleged experts tonight. Conservative MLA Ian Paton said he's doing everything possible to make the CFIA "back off" from culling the ostriches. #BIRDFLU #convoywatch
Harassment of politicians is part of the overall problem we have taking harassment and stalking seriously as a society. There are too many people who rationalize it or refuse to take it seriously as a threat, even when so many murders start with harassment and stalking.
People who do this, just like the woman who accosted Trudeau, often have a pattern of this inappropriate and threatening behaviour. Yet it's often difficult to even get a restraining order let alone get cops to do anything, even once it's escalated to open threats.
Behaviors that don't break the law and are seemingly harmless when performed separately (e.g., phone calls, gift-giving, texting) can become threatening and traumatic when they escalate in frequency, duration, & intensity. We need to start taking harassment far more seriously.
Loewen is a convoyer who actually went to Ottawa to try to overthrow the government. He employed a Diagolon member who just attended a meeting with an American NeoNazi in Edmonton. Don't ignore all that just because he's being forced to the table with Sajjan due to a crisis.
Minister Loewen has paid this man to be his constituency assistant in Valleyview and to take his official photos. The Leg under the UCP didn't see it as a security problem even though this is the guy who started the Alberta Diagolon telegram group.
Here's who Loewen's good friend and employee just hung out with in Edmonton. Do you really think Loewen respects Ottawa? When is someone going to care that the UCP government is ok with employing NeoNazis to interact with constituents?
Miranda Courts went live last night from the Lloyminster convoy camp because she's so angry more people aren't showing up. Throughout the live she struggles with why they don't have the millions she believes supported the convoy behind them now. #convoywatch
Miranda is upset & jealous that the "big names" like Ron & George can pull more people to their carbon tax protest events by Lacombe than she can to Lloydminster. Even her followers are starting to wonder if they're "missing" something.
Sitting by herself for hours at the carbon tax protest site, Miranda Courts has concluded the problem is "non-Canadians" & that white blue collar people are the ones being oppressed. She knows that sounds racist & doesn't care. (White nationalism alert.) #convoywatch
