CBC story on "Pat King, one of the leaders of the convoy" (he's not) falsely claims actual organizer Tamara Lich is "active on social media promoting adjacent movements". She's not active on any social media at all (archive.ph)

Another fun piece from the article:

According to a legal expert, King and Billings have likely already served more jail time awaiting trial than they will if convicted and sentenced. "We are already reaching a period of prior detention that overpasses the possible punishment," said Joao Velloso, a law professor at the University of Ottawa.

Nevertheless, Justin's minions persist. FYI here's his charges: mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order, and counselling to obstruct police. IE NOTHING VIOLENT

Regardless of the nominal political system, the only real crime anywhere is opposition to the regime.

Which is pretty much what this whole Ottawa thing is, and most Canadians are blindly cheering the Government for it.

If anyone wondered why 1930s Germany happened, now we know.

You misspelled most people will go along with it, so long as you propagandize them, take away their guns and promise to be nice to them if they just agree with everything.

Hitler wouldn't have risen to power without heavy propaganda, and without then securing his power through human rights abuse.

Inflation was a problem 10 years before the Nazis took over, and I am pretty sure alleged 'child prostitution' was not a reason for anyone to support the Nazis - except to serve as a post hoc rationalization.

Inflation was a problem for a year in 1924. Child prostitution happened in every country.

This is the same type of BS charge that they laid on the Patriot Front guys in Idaho last week.

With the biggest difference being that Pat King had absolutely zero chance of actually inciting any violence in Ottawa, as he was on the ground livestreaming for 3 weeks.

Ezra Levant also keeps posting that Pat King is a fed, which seems strange considering they've made an example of him and kept him in jail without cause for 4 months.

This is the same type of BS charge that they laid on the Patriot Front guys in Idaho last week.

This isn't even close to that. For one, the Trucker Convoy is not a glow op. For two, PF guys all magically paid 300$ bail and got released within 24 hours while Trucker Convoy people had to fight to even get a bail.

Pat King is a useful idiot because of his past comments, and he's being made into a more important figure than he actually is just to smear the Trucker Convoy. It's still wrong what they are doing to him.

Yeah I agree with you on everything.

Pat King is a crazy person who left-wing politicians/media (though I repeat myself on every level) love because he makes the movement look bad. The MSM talks about PK more than anyone in the freedom movement ever has.

To the rest of us he's really a non-entity and a proven liar.

I agree the background behind the Freedom Convoy and Patrot Frontier are different.

My point was that the state charging both groups with pre-crime "conspiracy to commit X" is the same vague, trumped up BS where they don't actually have enough of a case to charge them with an actual crime.

Hence the "conspiracy to commit"
