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 Image
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"? Image
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 Image
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. Image
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 $$. Image
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 Image

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

People wonder why I'm personally invested in following the convoy drama. A big reason is I started off reporting on some of them during covid while stringing for the Smoky River Express, covering High Prairie to Peace River. Freedom George is from High Prairie. A local.
Bob Blayone, another fixture on the Alberta anti-vaxx scene, is from Peace River. My longtime hometown now. I had to cover his failed attempts to decide the fate of our airport, which morphed into anti-mandate rallies, a failed run for council, & the "freedom" movement.
One of Bob's personal friends & a woman he has consistently platformed is Nancy O'Neill, who George interviews here on his latest live from Cochrane. Nancy is infamous in Peace River bec she was convicted of child abuse - of her own kid. Sometimes I see her at the grocery store.

So today Grande Prairie's angriest son Elliot "Moose" McDavid & his cronies were supposed to storm council again with their concerns about 15 minute cities after finally figuring out how to get added to the agenda and speak.
As you can see from this video McDavid posted to Meta, they had hundreds of upset people out to a pre-meeting - but oddly there's no word yet how many attended GP County Council's meeting today at 10 am. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
However, you can check out the county's responses to their concerns in the agenda for today - and they're kind of hilarious. Elliot McDavid was ANGRY they were changing the Reeve into a Mayor and making the county a 15 minute city. Not happening:

Nancy O'Neill of Peace River was sentenced today for the two counts of assault she was found guilty of Jan. 30. Judge Thietke granted her conditional discharge. O'Neill will be on probation for a year & must complete parenting courses & community service.
O'Neill showed up in court today with a red handprint painted on her mouth. She is not indigenous. She is married to an indigenous man & has been living on reserve. She had put cards with an image of herself with the same paint on local cars.
O'Neill has previously held "press conferences" with Bob Blayone & the Independence Party. She was accompanied in court today by a handful of local "freedom convoy" supporters who are also supporters of the Independence Party.

Infamous Freeland harasser Elliot McDavid livestreamed from the #convoy through Dawson Creek back to Grande Prairie today. He plans to storm the GP County meeting again Monday to stop them from turning it into a 15 min city. RCMP will be there.
Elliot & convoy friends make it clear they believe Canadian elections have been rigged for years, and they will "displace" the "tyrants" in charge. #convoywatch
Elliot is really, really proud that his group scared Grande Prairie County council - even though he clearly had no idea the first time that they needed to be added to the agenda to present. Isn't there a special word for intimidation with political aims?

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland's Grande Prairie harasser Elliot McDavid has a Valentine's Day message for you as he drives (distracted) to Winnipeg to join the rest of the #convoy . He's going to fight "the degenerates." #dogwhistle
He lays out a plan to "take back small towns" and instill "moral" councillors with his values. He "protested" families going to drag story time at the Grande Prairie Library a few days ago so we know exactly what those values look like. #grandeprairie
Not content to only harass people in Grande Prairie. Elliot and his hatriot friends flooded a Grande Prairie County council meeting because they were furious about ...a Smart Cities application. "I'll DIE before I quit putting pressure on," McDavid says.
