Using children as human shields is a common tactic among terrorists. The mobs disrupting Ottawa and our land border crossings are no different.

We need to work across jurisdictional lines and party lines to solve this crisis. It’s beyond disappointing that the Ford government has gone AWOL and refuses to participate. #onpoli

Shepherds of Good Hope is so grateful to the more than 13,000 people who donated to us over the past 2 weeks. As a result of your generosity, we have raised approximately $750,000!

It’s time to sit down, perhaps with the help of a mediator, and talk about our differences: like whether vaccines have radio chips in them, or whether they infect people with HIV. For too long the mainstream media have refused to even cover these pressing issues…

Yyyyup.
But let’s all have a good snicker about how the media are over-reacting.

We are closing early tonight (Friday) at 6:30pm and staying closed over the weekend until Wednesday Feb 9th🤞. One of our staff was physically assaulted on their way to work today, blocked on the sidewalk by two men and shoved to the ground for wearing a mask.

Let's talk for a quick second about Chris Barber, the guy standing behindTamara Lich today as she insisted that the government was using the media "to portray us as racist, misogynists, and even terrorists."
Obviously nobody is calling them terrorists. But racist? Let's see...
Jean-Luc Cooke retweeted
Barber has spent the past few years sharing some pretty racist stuff about non-white truckers and Muslims.
Also: This guy gets banned from Facebook and Tiktok at an *alarming* rate.

And of course, it's pretty cocky to come out and explain that Confederate-flag waving protesters don't *really* represent your movement when you've got TWO Confederate flags hanging in your garage. teapawt.net/Justin_Ling/status/148…

The Chiefs of Ontario organization is also slamming what it saw: “The actions taken during the events in Ottawa are deeply offensive,” said Regional Chief Glen Hare via press release. “Cultural appropriation of First Nations ceremonial items and protocol is colonial violence.”

For those wondering if the trucks in downtown Ottawa are still blaring their horns, the answer is yes.
Not even intermittently either. Just one, long blast.

#Update: I received the following from Algonquin Elder Claudette Commanda blasting Wednesday’s pipe ceremony in Ottawa.
“The Confederation Park interlopers need to go. They are disrespecting the Algonquin people, our protocols, our land and our spirituality and our Ancestors!”
Jean-Luc Cooke retweeted
This is an absolute disgrace that you would come out & praise this illegal action that has caused stress and hardship to residents who have been putting up with horns blasting throughout the night and residents harassed for wearing a mask & businesses forced to close. Apologize
A few of our SK Caucus members went to show our appreciation for the hardworking, patriotic truckers who have kept our supply chains healthy & grocery shelves stocked for the past two years. It’s great to see Canadians championing freedom on Parliament Hill. #freedomconvoy22

Tonight an emergency debate took place on the flooding in BC at the request of my colleague @ElizabethMay and others.
The flooding and landslides highlight the need for urgent climate action in our country.
The time is now.

Actually pumped my fist in the air at this headline.
You know that “small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world” thing?
It’s true.
& the transition to a giant group is ⭐️
