Accurate on all points, seconded.
This group falls into two categories, human garbage, and those too dumb to care or too self involved to notice they're being played by human garbage.

Will they make big enough wankers of themselves that they will realise how big a pile of wankers they are though? That's the base question

They cannot. That would require admitting that they were wrong and got played by nazis and racists.

So Randy Hillier keeps making clear and present threats against Canada and how he's not been arrested for that yet, let alone allowed to remain an MPP is so BEYOND me.

Note: This man is the MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston...he was kicked out of Doug Ford's Conservatives for being "too extreme" and now he's an independent.

He tweeted this from the Freedumb convoy in Ottawa:

Like if an average citizen made this tweet CSIS or the Police would be banging down their door and arresting them for threats...so how this MFer gets away with this is beyond me. He's fucking scum.

Sounds like the "Domestic Terrorist Trucker parade" is possibly heading to my city this weekend to protest the remaining Provincial mandates?

...I have a feeling that a lot of white racist assholes are about to find out that Toronto is not Ottawa in terms of cultural makeup or tolerance of shit.

They are seriously pushing their luck here. Individual truckers have started harassing women and healthcare workers walking downtown.
The police are actually telling people not to wear their masks or workwear because it may incite violence.
Groups in neighborhoods are starting to block trucks trying to drive through and organize counterdemonstrations . I haven't heard anything but wouldn't be surprised if less polite responses are being planned, people are VERY fed up with this garbage.

Sounds like Sloly finally got the message that his job's on the fucking line as the OPS seems to be doing something today about it finally.

What reaction are you having to finding out that the police are kinda on their side and not yours?

I am Abyss' complete lack of surprise.

The restrictions originate with the provinces, but the truckfucks are yelling at the fed gov, and punishing the city. Every level of gov is saying some other level should do something and the police aren't dumb enough / don't care enough to take effective steps without someone telling them to.

To be clear, in my experience Ottawa police may have many of the flaws of large city police forces, but are generally better than most. I'm not surprised at all that faced with a situation that will automatically escalate and generate condemnation if they do virtually anything, they will not act unless there is an obvious danger or serious crime in front of them.

I do not think that the police (generally) are on their side (specific individuals taking selfies with them aside). I do think that the police have allowed themselves to be made near irrelevant and damaged their own credibility.

'Canada's QAnon "Queen" and her escalating rhetoric

Romana Didulo claims to be the "sovereign of the republic of Canada" and demands that vaccinations and other measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic be stopped. In one video, she plans to endorse executions over people in authority who don't comply.

For months, a B.C.-based QAnon conspiracy influencer named Romana Didulo has been amassing followers online, declaring herself the "Queen of Canada."

[...] Recently, her rhetoric escalated when she urged her followers to "shoot to kill" anyone who administers vaccines to children.'

Canada's QAnon 'Queen' and her escalating rhetoric | CBC Radio

'To anyone who still believes that white supremacists are not behind the Freedom Convoy, just listen to what their chief organizer Tamara Lich (aka ConvoyKaren) says here.

For those who have a hard time hearing the audio in the clip, this is how it goes: Tamara Lich says to the crowd: "I need to know what a white supremacist looks like." She then goes over to a man on the stage and asks, "Are you a white supremacist, sir?" He answers, "Yes, I am a white supremacist." She then turns to the crowd and says, "Right, there you go." And the crowd cheers.'

This woman is a walking mental health crisis and always has been. Her and Randy Hillier get more and more unhinged by the day.

The border blockades being allowed to stand is ridiculous. It is well past time for those involved to leave or be jailed.

The RCMP showed up at Coutts today to issue traffic tickets to people for leaving vehicles on the road. What is that? 24 hour notice should have been given long ago. Move your vehicle or it will be impounded and you get arrested. Any foreign funds flowing to the protestors should be seized by the government and used to offset the costs of vaccination efforts. Letting a few asshats impede the flow of goods and effect the overall economy is not acceptable.

The border situation is absurd. I can understand the reluctance to move hard on the protestors in Ottawa because that can only end in mass arrests, court battles, and bad press no matter how it goes, but the border thing fully crosses the line from right to protest to obstruction if not outright domestic terrorism.

They are showing these idiots weakness and it is going to come back to haunt them and probably all of us and everyone with a brain can see this except, apparently, the people in charge.

Oh boy, did I hear that right? The police are going to move in, in one sweeping action and remove the protesters? Uh, this could get ugly, eh?

Injunction issued for Windsor border crossing, to take effect 7 PM.

Ionno, I think the simplest thing to do is politely take names, and then serve each adult there with a 100k fine and put a lien on everything they own, including those trucks.

Alternatively, they can tear gas the area (like the RCMP are so fond of doing to indigenous land protectors in BC), kettle the protestors away from their trucks once they are running away, and have sane truck drivers open up the barricade. This is not an unsolvable problem if the police wanted to solve it.

The two main Convoy organizers are fucked and both know it.

Tamara Lich seems to know she's fucked and likely going to jail.

Human Alberta-shaped Chud Pat King has dipped Ottawa and is now attempting to head to the East Coast...I expect the cops will arrest him between here and there.

If these two terrible pieces of work know the jig is up, that means Ottawa is about to get cleared over the next few days.
