My only question is, could the police, OPP, RCMP have done what they are doing these last 2 days to clear the blockade without govt declaring the emergency act?

“Freedom Convoy” leader Chris Barber says his “organizing days are over” and he just wants to go home to his farm in Swift Current, Sask., after being arrested and jailed on charges of mischief and obstruct police.

Barber, 46, spent a night in the notorious Ottawa police cell block and was granted bail Friday night on conditions that he leave town within 24 hours and go home and never support the protest again.

Barber, who owns a trucking company, agreed with the bail conditions that he can no longer support the protest verbally, on TV or online. Barber, who employs four other truck drivers, put up a $100,000 bond to secure his bail.

His conditions require him to live at home until his case winds through the criminal justice system.

While he’s forbidden from supporting the protest, he’s allowed to cover the cost of fuel for other truckers to travel back west with him. He made the offer after hearing that crowd-funding money didn’t get into the hands of fellow truckers.

Barber’s trucking company does business in the Prairies and into the United States.

Barber is charged with mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobey court order and counselling to commit the offence of obstruct police.

If the case goes to trial, Ottawa’s Crown Attorney Office is expected to seek a prison term of more than two years for “tormenting the city” in a criminal manner and for inciting protesters to break the law.

Defence lawyer Diane Magas won bail for Barber. She noted Barber could not possibly be responsible for the actions of others and, in the face of TikTok videos, the defence lawyer questioned if the online videos were filmed before or after the court injunction.

Ottawa Crown Attorney Moiz Karimjee said the impact of the protest had been significant and called homicide detective Chris Benson to testify about it.

In the end, the judge concluded that Barber — who doesn’t have a criminal record — posed no substantial threat to the public and granted the convoy leader bail.

The judge said she learned nothing from the officer’s testimony that she hadn’t already read in the newspaper.

“I don’t know what else I’m supposed to be learning here?” Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois said at the hours-long bail hearing.

No publication ban was requested.

Barber must check in with Benson by phone as part of his bail conditions, and he is forbidden from communicating with other convoy leaders.

According to Barber’s bail conditions, he’s allowed only to return to Ottawa for meetings with his lawyer or for court hearings.

He was ordered to not have any contact — outside of legal proceedings — with fellow organizers Tamara Lich, Daniel Bulford or Patrick King.

Lich, another notable protest organizer, was also arrested on Thursday night. Her bail hearing is scheduled for Saturday morning.

Bulford and King were arrested on Friday.

Race and multiculturalism

Southern is against multiculturalism.[38] She has called the Black Lives Matter movement a "terrorist organisation", and a "divisive, violent movement that has fascistic tendencies", which she has (falsely) claimed has caused more deaths in 30 years than the Ku Klux Klan.[39]

She has asked whether a multicultural society would require witch doctors at medical conferences,[40] and has claimed that "multiculturalism will inevitably fail unless 50 per cent of the population believes in Western culture".[41] New Matilda reported that the core theme of her 2018 speaking tour of Australia was the claim "multiculturalism doesn't work".[42] On the tour, she caused controversy for publicly criticizing an "Asian only" room-share advert that she had photographed and called it "extremely tribalistic".[43] This was an attempt to highlight the supposed failure of multiculturalism, by suggesting that it produced a form of segregation.[43]

Influenced by the French political writer Renaud Camus, Southern is known for her promotion of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, which posits that non-white immigration of Muslims will lead to a genocide of white Europeans.[9][11][13][14][44][45] She released a YouTube video under this title in July 2017,[9] which was credited with helping to promote a white nationalist viewpoint.[9] By August 2020, the video could only be accessed privately on Southern's home channel.[10] She has described the theory as: "You have one people and in the space of one generation you have a different people".[32]

Southern has defended the American neo-Nazi Richard B. Spencer, who has advocated violence against nonwhites on multiple occasions. Southern has said "Richard Spencer is not a white supremacist, he is a white nationalist. He believes in a white ethnostate, he doesn’t believe in whites being superior."[17][28][46][47] Spencer has praised Southern's videos.[2]

Southern has been described as a proponent of the white genocide conspiracy theory.[13][14][15][48] In 2018, Southern produced a documentary called Farmlands which falsely claimed that racially motivated farm attacks in South Africa may represent an impending genocide, a common talking point for white nationalists.[49][50][51][30] While producing the documentary, Southern worked with Charlottesville Unite the Right rally attendee Simon Roche,[52] a spokesperson for the ethnonationalist (Völkisch) Afrikaner organization Suidlanders,[53] an organization which predicts a race war.[54]

[Presto]

No surprise that Facebook amplified a lot of this, but this is a good read on the various aspects of how this happened.

https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/19/22941291/facebook-canada-trucker-convoy-gofundme-groups-viral-sharing



After more than two weeks of chaotic protest, this week, the Canadian government pushed back. On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the country’s Emergencies Act, enabling new financial restrictions on the protests and signaling harsh new penalties against anyone involved.

For many Canadians, it’s an overdue end to a chaotic protest that has stifled trade and brought alarming weaponry into otherwise quiet communities. But right-wing supporters have a wildly different view of events: figures like Tucker Carlson have portrayed the convoy as a working-class rebellion, and Trudeau’s response has been treated as enacting martial law, leading Elon Musk to tweet (and then delete) a meme comparing Trudeau to Adolf Hitler.

It’s a shocking split, arguably the single most important factor in the protests, and much of it originates in the fractured way information travels online. Convoy supporters are getting their news from a tangle of Facebook groups, Telegram channels, and random influencers, which is all then amplified and expanded by right-wing broadcasters like Carlson, The Daily Caller, or Canadian right-wing media network Rebel News. These channels promote a sanitized version of movements like the Freedom Convoy, amplifying its hashtags and turning its obscure extremist leaders into celebrities.

This pipeline — from physical protest to social media to establishment outlets — is what has helped the convoy evolve from a local standoff into a televised event that can raise millions from supporters thousands of miles away. Almost all of that infrastructure pre-dates the convoy itself, drawing from anti-vaxx groups, QAnon, and other fringe communities. And while the convoy itself may soon be broken up by the Canadian government, those online pathways are much stickier.

To understand how this echo chamber works, we have to start with the Ottawa protest itself. The “Freedom Convoy’’ started as a loosely affiliated group of Canadian truck drivers led by a group called Canada Unity, founded by far-right activist and QAnon conspiracy theorist James Bauder. But over the last 30 days, Bauder has managed to build a coalition of fed-up truck drivers, fringe Canadian political party members, neo-Nazis, anti-vaxxers, and an international coterie of scammers, grifters, and low-level online creators that has been able to generate major headlines around the world.

The convoy’s spread across Facebook didn’t gain any real momentum until a video about the protest was posted on Rumble, a right-wing video platform, on January 18th by a user named Ken Windsor and started to get a few thousand shares. In the caption of the video, Windsor shared links to a page called “Freedom Convoy 2022,” which had been started four days earlier, according to Facebook’s page transparency tools. Windsor had posted several videos on Rumble about truck drivers planning to protest Canadian COVID mandates before this. But the post on January 18th, according to social analytics tool Buzzsumo, was the most-shared piece of convoy content during this first week after it was posted to the Freedom Convoy 2022’s page.

Windsor’s Rumble video also linked out to a right-wing Canadian video creator named Pat King, who was active in Canada’s Yellow Vests protests, and also promoted the movement’s now-defunct GoFundMe page. Following Windsor’s video, between January 14th and January 23rd, several other Facebook pages and groups were created to support the truckers, including the first sizable Facebook group for convoy supporters, which was initially called Freedom Convoy 2022 but has since changed its name to “Convoy For Freedom 2022 ”. The group was also a major initial supporter of the GoFundMe page, with users sharing it on the very first day the Facebook page was launched.

According to AntiHate.ca, the GoFundMe was run by Tamara Lich, another former Canadian Yellow Vest who works for a Canadian separatist party, and B.J. Dichter, a right-wing commentator known for Islamophobic rhetoric.

Paris Marx, a PhD candidate based in Canada and host of the podcast Tech Won’t Save Us, told The Verge that the Freedom Convoy’s connections to the country’s far-right significantly outweigh its connections to actual Canadian truckers.

“It’s been pretty well-documented at this point that the Freedom Convoy has had connections to the Canadian far-right from the beginning, including having been behind the initial GoFundMe fundraiser,” he said. “It also never really represented a broad swath of truckers — 90% of whom are vaccinated and whose trade organizations distanced themselves from, if not outright opposed, the convoy.”

On January 25th, the Trucking for Freedom group officially connected with the organizers of the trucker’s protest, Canada Unity, and the group’s founder, James Bauder. Trucking for Freedom would become something like the group’s official documentarians during these early weeks. King’s livestreams and high-res photography from the road were distributed through the Trucking for Freedom group. From there, they were shared through a series of small Canadian Facebook pages and groups like Freedom Convoy 2022 Manitoba Info and VI Freedom Convoy 2022 Bearhug Ottawa.

The reach on this content, though organic, was small. Many of Pat King’s videos, for instance, have been watched less than 100,000 times. In January, posts tagged things like #FreedomConvoy, #freedomconvoy2022, and #TruckersForFreedom were unquestionably local, like an emotional post from the page for the Continental Cattle Carriers, Ltd., in Alberta, Canada, or a viral photo album of children cheering on the truckers.

According to Buzzsumo, the total mentions for “convoy” across the web jumped 195 percent between Tuesday, January 25th, and Saturday, January 29th, peaking on that Saturday with 1,920 total mentions, which coincided with other large groups popping up like “Convoy to Ottawa 2022”. But this was also the last moment the truckers convoy would still be entirely Canadian. From here, it would travel south to the United States but also beyond North America entirely, gaining support from right-wing pages across Europe.

With that international attention, convoy groups also began to attract scammers and counterfeits. An investigation from Grid News found that five convoy groups were created by a single hacked account (formerly belonging to a woman from Missouri) and a Facebook spokesperson told NBC News that content farms as far as Bangladesh and Vietnam were promoting convoy memes. For instance, on January 28th, a page currently called Freedom People, run out of Bulgaria, created a convoy Facebook group called, “Freedom Convoy Worldwide,” which currently has 9,000 members. (The Freedom People page currently uses the “Freedom Convoy Worldwide” group as a way to advertise a PayPal donation page for itself.)

The movement’s international spread also introduced it to Facebook’s larger universe of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. On January 24th, a Facebook page run by four people based in the United States posted its first video about the convoy. And based on shares, the page has become so viral that it may be possibly the center of the entire convoy movement online right now. It’s called “2020: What’s the Real Truth,” and, according to Facebook’s page transparency tools, it was originally titled, “2012: What’s the Real Truth,” seemingly based on the 2012 doomsday conspiracy. It then changed its name in January 2021 and pivoted to hardcore anti-vaccine and anti-mask content, posting multiple times a day, advocating for a global revolution against COVID protocols.

But by the end of January, Canadians were no longer leading the convoy — at least when it comes to the movement’s online presence. It was around this time that what is possibly the largest still-active convoy group was created, and it doesn’t appear to be run by any Canadians at all. It’s called “The People’s Convoy - Official,” and it has 87,000 members. The group has five administrators, all of which show ties to the US on their Facebook profiles.

This disorganized second phase of the movement has created real confusion for supporters, according to Sara Aniano, a misinformation researcher who has contributed to the Global Network on Extremism & Technology.

“Users in Telegram chats are being bombarded with conflicting maps, routes, dates, and times that seem to evolve by the hour, and many have expressed confusion,” Aniano said. “I’ve read comments about wanting to see liberal enemies hanging from nooses, but I’ve also read comments about having a big party and bringing food trucks. Again, they’re not on the same page.”

But based on Facebook metrics, the core of the Freedom Convoy was never really anything more than a small collection of local conspiracy theorists who were then suddenly given a megaphone by America’s powerful right-wing disinformation machine. Their campaign was first supercharged by Facebook’s algorithm, which currently favors content shared within local groups, and was then blasted out into every feed and screen possible by ravenous conservative tabloids. American right-wing publisher The Daily Wire, founded by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, latched on to the story at the end of January and published 66 articles featuring the keyword “convoy” between January 28th and January 31st. And the most popular story of theirs from this time period actually promotes a Facebook group that would eventually get shut down by the platform after barely four days for repeatedly violating Facebook’s policies around QAnon.

Amplifying small right-wing political movements like this has become a powerful piece of the conservative toolkit — particularly in the time of COVID. Case in point, over the last month, Fox News aired over eight hours of programming about the Freedom Convoy, warning that an American version was on its way.

“Fox News has an interesting way of filtering very local events through the prism of its own culture wars, which creates the impression for their followers that they are part of some transnational grassroots uprising,” Amarnath Amarasingam, a professor at Queen’s University and senior fellow at the International Center for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence, told The Verge.

But The Daily Wire may have succeeded in putting the convoy on Fox News’ radar. The bulk of the Facebook activity around Daily Wire stories has actually come from a network of larger collaborator pages associated with The Daily Wire itself. Crowdtangle data shows that one January 31st story about the 90,000-member convoy Facebook group was able to get a lot of interactions on the platform because it was shared to Shapiro’s personal page twice, twice to the personal page of a Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles, twice to the personal page of another Daily Wire collaborator Matt Walsh, and once to The Daily Wire’s main Facebook page. The American media attention around the movement accelerated its lifecycle and, in the end, just turned it into another meaningless Facebook meme.

The last real moment of cohesion within the movement was when GoFundMe shut down the convoy’s donation page on February 5th, causing a massive spike in activity. And engagement hasn’t really come back. In many ways, the GoFundMe shutdown was the defining event of the entire convoy. But it also exposes an ugliness that’s been part of the movement since the very beginning. According to a statement from GoFundMe, the convoy’s fundraiser was shut down after the company was given evidence from Canadian law enforcement that protesters were planning to occupy Ottawa.

Amarasingam said Fox News’ coverage has given a huge boost to fringe anti-government figures like Bauder and King, who would not have been influential enough to spark global interest on their own. As the convoy tails off, he worries those figures will use their new profile to drag followers even further toward the fringes, drawing on the same network of Facebook groups and willing right-wing amplifiers.

“The activism on the ground has probably peaked, but the movement I think is here to stay,” he said. “The organizers will continue to be active on the fringes of the Canadian right, but they are now basically minor celebrities and influencers.”

Hmm. I wonder if this incident at Rideau Centre Mall in Ottawa has anything to do with the truckers protests:

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/reports-rideau-centre-evacuated-police-ask-people-to-avoid-dalhousie-street-to-the-rideau-canal/ar-AAUaAe0?ocid=entnewsntp


Ottawa police said that one person is in custody but their operation is ongoing after warning the public to avoid the area of Dalhousie Street to the Rideau Canal and the Mackenzie King Bridge due to an ongoing police operation

Ottawa police said officers were responding to a “suspicious incident” but it remained an active call and no further details were immediately available.

OC Transpo said that O-Train Line 1 service was suspended between the uOttawa and Parliament stations due to police activity. Regular service was underway between Tunney’s Pasture and Parliament stations and uOttawa and Blair stations.

The transit provider also said Rideau station was closed.

Witnesses at the scene said police with guns told them to leave. Some also said they heard an announcement telling them to evacuate the mall.

Nick Fanning arrived at the Rideau Centre early Tuesday afternoon to conduct deliveries. He was heading towards the service elevator when police carrying rifles swarmed the area.

“As I went to get in there were 20 plus cops flooding out, guns up. Not pointed, but up,” he said in an interview outside the mall as police continued to direct traffic through the area.

Multiple Ontario police forces have officers in downtown Ottawa on nearby street corners as part of the response to the freedom convoy protests. The officers Fanning saw appeared to be Ontario Provincial Police. They wore no helmets but carried service rifles and told patrons and staff to evacuate the mall.

“They we’re aggressive, not pushing people but screaming,” he said.

He took out his phone outside the mall and captured footage of an officer carrying a rifle telling onlookers to vacate the area.

“It’s not safe,” the officer shouted.

The class action lawsuit that a 21 year old girl is leading is supposedly seeking damage for residents and businesses affected by the protest. Of course, even if they win, it'd be years before the dust settles from all the appeals and such.

Personally, I am really worried about this girl. She is already receiving threats and online harassments since coming forward to lead this, and it is only going to get worse as the case really proceeds.

The Parksville office of Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns has been hit by vandals.

On Tuesday morning (Feb. 22), the office in the Parksville Heritage Center along the Island Highway, had several broken windows, with two large holes in the main window and a single shattered hole in the office door.

Jagmeet obviously is just a puppet for the libs though. Without supporting the libs the NDP would he completely powerless.

The New York Times, Economist and Financial Times are all respected, upstanding, serious-minded publications with global audiences that look to them for accurate and well-informed coverage. And each of them thinks Justin Trudeau blew it when he seized on the Emergencies Act to end the siege in Ottawa’s streets.

The discontent began much earlier than any COVID measures. Yes, these are people that feel disenfranchised, left out of this global centric market.

The problem is that the politicians that they support (hyper libertarian ideologues) are the same folks pushing this rush to the proverbial bottom. They simply utilize populism to get these folks onboard, meanwhile they vote against their own better interests.

So yes I agree, these people do have issues that need to be heard, the problem is they're attaching themselves to the wrong mouthpiece.

On the Ottawa residents upset about the convoy:

"It's everybody's f--king city, this is the capital of the country. It's not your god-damned city just because you have a 6 figure salary and you work 20 hours a week, you haven't worked a full week in two years. It's sickening, it's sickening," he says in the recording.

MacDonald then thanks the protester for "having the courage and decency to come here" and tells him that "he was not alone."

I'm sorry, you're a SENATOR, arguably the most cushy job in the country. Us taxpayers who "haven't worked a full week in 2 years" pay YOUR salary of $160k per year to work less than 100 days to do fuck all with no accountability. The senate is a massive waste of time and money and here is this fuckface proving exactly why.

I tell you guys. The world is insane. Just insane.

Replying to @cmaconthehill
BREAKING: Convoy organizer Pat King has been denied bail. The Justice said he believes there is a high risk of King to reoffend, the allegations are serious and there is a likelihood of endangering public safety. He will be kept in custody as he awaits trial #cdnpolice

The Crown has said that, in 2016, King was charged with uttering threats and ordered to hand over his firearms. Prosecutors went on to say that while he did as he was asked, days later, the 44-year-old proceeded to buy a restricted firearm.

As Seymour delivered the ruling this afternoon, King sat in-person in the courtroom at the Ottawa courthouse, wearing a camouflage jacket over a grey hoodie and matching sweat pants. He shifted between hunching forward and leaning up against the wall behind him.

Observations from Ottawa over the weekend:

- tons of trucks driving east towards Ottawa, hard to tell if they are just truckers doing work or convoy supporters. likely just truckers working as there were none inside the city of Ottawa
- drove by a handful of pickup trucks/jeeps with "mandate freedom", canada flags, and pro-gun stickers
- city feels normal, no one harassing you if you walk around with or without a mask on
- main streets around parliment hill continue to be blocked off
- lots of police presense at the blocked off intersections
- small group of protesters on parliment hill with canada flags tied to hockey sticks, something about children are not lab tests
- saw one guy running down several blocks while screaming "freedom", i feel like someone bet him to do it, as he was running clearly to the hotel the police were using for their operations, like 15 police cars at least, and multiple officers around. once he got there, i could see police were talking to him, and then he stopped yelling and continued walking on
- skated on the canal for the first time, 7km out of 7.8km was open, it was awesome and nice to see everyone else out there enjoying it. lots of families and kids too.
- also the wind chill was cold AF
- 10/10 would go again every year just for the canal

The Lich is out on bail

https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/03/07/trucker-convoy-tamara-lich-bail-review/


Tamara Lich one of the principal organizers of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protest, has been released on bail. Lich has been in custody since her arrest on Feb. 17, when police shut down the three-week anti-COVID mandate and anti-government protest.

The conditions of her bail include a $25 thousand bond and she must leave Ottawa in 24 hours and Ontario in 72, only returning for court matters.

Lich must keep in contact with police, and she cannot contact any fellow convoy organizers or take part in protests over COVID mandates. Her social media activity will also be limited in an effort to prevent contact with protestors and organizers.

On Feb. 22, Lich was denied bail, with the judge saying she believed there was a substantial risk Lich would either engage in illegal activity around the protests or counsel others to do so. There were also suspicions around the source of Lich’s finances and the money to put up a bond for her bail.

Last week, she argued for a review with a new surety. She also accused the judge who denied her bail of bias, citing her unsuccessful run as a federal Liberal candidate in 2011.

Lich is charged with counselling to commit mischief.

The judge overseeing the bail review hearing said he would render a decision Monday.

Is your flag a tasteful size and hung up appropriately? I think the size and number of them goes a long way from seperating the two. The idiots tend to take the appropriate amount of flag, then add like 15 too many. Same for size. Ridiculous sized flags, almost like they're compensating for something right.

I wouldn’t say it’s the low of low. They are either of below average intelligence, Albertan, or Gen X and older individuals who click the “email bait” every time their workplace sends out a phishing test. Hahaha.

True; most are just followers who don't know any better, that's the case with most movements. Everyone's life sucks right now, and everyone wants a way out. For some, they are getting duped into thinking this is it.

The people setting it all up though, they're absolute shit.

I’d agree with that one. The leaders are likely high in intelligence… and evil. Ha. My comment about Albertan’s is an oversimplified way of saying, it’s easy to be persuaded when your life is flooded with those of a similar mentality. Sometimes pure hatred to a certain political party (saying that, I spent the weekend with a group of AB’s. None of them agreed with this convoy… unless they were keeping quiet, ha)…. And then there is those who are technology crippled. Haha.

I think it definitely goes both ways. The die hard leftest, is never going to sway right (despite the reasoning), just because it’s against the general fundamentals. This is where politics sucks.

Total and utter narcissism... on some group chat of old friends, 1 dude on there, he's very intelligent and runs his own business, most would consider him wealthy, but his leanings are all completely right wing. He's the ultimate "no matter what they do I hate the libs"

Eg: the housing announcement yesterday, if anything it was a total Conservative type announcement from the Liberal government, anyone with half a brain can see it's totally toothless and only dumbass walrus fin clappers at the bottom will be like "urh urh urh muh govment did sumthing to proteck meeee" it is literally protecting all the fiscally convservative and current home owners while doing nothing at all to lower house prices but it will make all the poors think they did something at the very least... which is exactly what he wants... but instead of taking the win and keeping his mouth shut or whispering "Bravo... bravo I say" while quietly clapping to himself in the back of the proverbial theatre, he has to say "What a stupid policy, typical Liberals, so easy to undermine, they just don't get it."

Oh okay, so you actually wish this policy was more hard hitting? You're FOR lowering the value of your various properties and making housing more affordable for other Canadians?

"No. I wouldn't want that."

Well what the fuck then? So indebted to hate of the political party itself, will literally take on the face of caring about what happens in society if it means taking a shot at the political party itself when in fact he'd be crying bloody murder if they actually did something that affected his assets in any way.

Hypocritical pieces of shit (diehard extremists, not just people with ultra conservative views... same goes for crazy liberal minded people).
