To be fair to the crazy trucker fangirl, I’m pretty sure it came from a place of naivety not realizing how bad that sounds. I don’t think she was trying to Epstein her way into their good books.

I think it’s way funnier that way. They’ve created a mind palace where truckers are paragons of virtue and the real evil in society is grade school teachers.

They proudly and publicly fly flags and bumper stickers saying “gently caress Trudeau” while clutching their pearls at the lack of decorum around children.

Jason Kenney: "So there's a chance?"

Is there any law that says someone can't be Prime Minister and a Provincial Premier at the same time? or even can't be an MLA/MPP and MP at the same time?

Kenney already said no dice during yesterday's press conference.

Cops prefer their lives over ideology and prefer to swarm and bully rather than engage in a fair fight.

Cops have done enough poo poo to paint them, hitting them with hypotheticals is silly.

What's the game plan for the Tories, other than replacing O'Toole with someone less likely to pick up marginal seats?

Absolute best-case scenario for them would be someone like Brad Wall, who is basically a slightly more charismatic, but less bilingual, version of O'Toole.

Absolute worst case scenario, and also the most likely scenario, is a reactionary clown like Poilievre with no sense of shame and a willingness to do anything to score political points. A more Canadian Ted Cruz, if you will.

They could, I don't know, do their loving jobs and arrest the people committing crimes. And standing around doing nothing besides posing for photos with Nazis isn't de-escalation. De-escalation would be getting the protestors to gently caress off and stop harassing/assaulting passersby, blaring their horns, pissing on the street while waving around swastikas and confederate flags, etc.

And before someone thinks of replying 'but what about other protestors', there are notable differences between the flu trux klan/Coutts blockaders and G20/indigenous protests.

How has Soly and the Ottawa police dealt with other protestors? I thought they took the same de escalation approach?

First off: the police are helping the convoy move fuel in: there's a plow that the cops need to move if a truck is to make it through instead of just hand carts.

On the subject of covering up violence, the police made a claim of "no incidents of violence", in spite of the fact that there had been numerous attempts at intimidation and some assaults:

"A service user and security guard assaulted."

I already showed Tim Abray's video upthread, the police watched the entire incident and did not intervene. Most people aren't recording or streaming when someone decides to attack them. There was another account from the first day, of a teenage shopclerk threatened with being stabbed if he didn't take off his mask. The police refused to fill out an incident report because the convoy member had left the store by the time they got there. I don't have it in my history since I just read the text and didn't click on the tweet, and it's lost in the tumult of Ottawa twitter over the weekend. Call me a liar if you like.

Also: Apparently the French speaking Convoy contingent is discussing bombing plans on an open channel. I suppose it's good that they are morons, but I do wish the police hadn't helped them move in pickup truck full of an explosive component.

These are all one sided reports from the victims though. The convoy says they didn't do it so who are we to believe?

Even if it didn't happen, and it's pretty lovely to assume that people would simply lie about being assaulted, this belligerent piece of poo poo anti-masker is putting everyone at risk even if they ended at what has been caught on video. gently caress anyone who harasses a worker doing their job like that.

West Coast random bullshit take... From enough rumblings I've heard, I've got a bad feeling about Saturday here. Could be bluster and nothing serious all but people seem to be getting more fighty.

Weather will be good. Grey wet weather can get tiring, but at least keeps the bullshit level down. Sun comes out, poo poo gets a little more wild. To say nothing of the insanely hot days with long daylight. Mix in some smoke with that and holy poo poo, party time.

Anyway, rebuilt, drilled, and checked over my street medic kit. Really hope no need for it.

but those are plausibly legally bought and used for refueling

either way, the tweet itself is definitely a threat with the two images combined
