Tomorrow we get the report of the POEC. TBH, I don't expect much. I doubt Mr. Justice Rouleau will determine if the use of the EA was or was not justified as that is properly a matter for the Courts to decide. 1/
What I do expect is a summary of the events and decisions which led to the invocation. Based on the evidence before him that summary is likely to take aim at the police - at all levels - for letting the protest "get out of hand". 2/
It will probably spend a good deal of time on the horrors faced by the good citizens of Ottawa and next to no time on the protest itself. There will be a lot about how difficult it was for gov't to determine the intentions of the protestors. 3/
THE FREEDOM CONVOY 2022
I don't watch corporate news media. I followed the 2016 Bernie Sanders mainstream press quite closely but other than that, the last time I remember watching any mainstream news in any detail goes back to the Gulf War in 1990-91.

At that time, I was quite an obsessive student of media propaganda and I was glued to CNN like I was watching a car crash, only infinitely worse of course.
Of course, many of the stunts used to promote the conflict have since been exposed for what they were: shameless, sloppy..

bits of atrocity propaganda, like the Nayirah testimony for instance. If you're not familiar with this, read and watch these:

By the Gulf War Part II, the propaganda was so ridiculous, I couldn't tolerate watching any of it..

One year ago today I watched the #canadaconvoy kick off. I just knew there would be one in NZ (and that I’d get involved!) Never done anything quite like it before and don’t regret it, even if I didn’t much enjoy the last day. Let’s share memories of that epic time, I’ll start:
The day it hauled thru’ Napier the weather was vile. Torrential | sideways rain, yet throngs of people lined the streets. It still brings a tear to my eyes remembering that drive. The toots, waves and the fabulous signs: kiwis came together to fight Ardern’s illegal mandates 🖤
Arriving in Wellington there was a sense of hope, that maybe they’d listen | come out and talk. However the cowardly politicians all hid inside and ignored many thousands of kiwis who just wanted to be heard. Shame on them. Luxon, Seymour etc al.

A lot of people in BC are more than a little annoyed that we are in the running to be the last province to lift COVID mandates and vax passports. I'm annoyed too but there is one upside, this reveals the whole thing as purely political. #honkhonk 1/
Back when the mask mandate came in it was an order from the Attorney General rather than the PHO. And it was in response to a request from the BC Retailers' Association, not the public health community. So, political. #honkhonk 2/
The vax passes were not about health either. They were about "incentivizing" people to get the jabs. Jabs which did nothing to prevent infection or transmission and, were essentially useless against Omicron. So, political. #honkhonk 3/
Hibernation Day #154 | Much of Canada will be dropping the COVID restrictions and mask mandates in the next few days. A good thing as very few of them were effective. Take up of the 3rd jab has dropped dramatically. #honkhonk 1/
Does this mean COVID is over? I doubt it. The NPIs and the jabs were a response - and not a very good one - to an actual virus which is, as we speak, out there mutating away. Yes, there was a lot of BS surrounding COVID but it actually revealed a bunch of issues. #honkhonk 2/
First, Canada and British Columbia have a really rickety Health Care system and no one seems willing to even begin to fix it. We lack the ability to rapidly surge ICU capacity. We lack that ability not because we don't have the room, rather because we don't have the people. 3/

“Like many, I have spent the last couple of weeks a bit entranced by the trucker protests happening in Canada (and now around the world, from Paris to Wellington). I initially tried to document here every twist and turn of the Freedom Convoy drama, but found it nearly impossible.
“…I want to try to distill a few more unique thoughts on why I find these protests so striking.
Specifically, why all this seems like such a perfect reflection of the Reality War.”

“A. I. Ladyzhensky was the chief teacher in a school in remote Kologriv. In 1937 a peasant approached him in an open market and passed him a message from a third person: "Aleksandr Ivanich, get out of town, you are on the list!" But he stayed: After all, the whole school…

Thanks to a Q4 with 30.9 million visitors to Florida, which was the second quarter in a row that was higher than we saw in 2019, the state saw a record visitation of 117.7 million domestic visitors in 2021.
People are vacationing to freedom in Florida.

Currently @GovRonDeSantis is in Fort Walton Beach to highlight the incredible visitation in 2021 with the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park site, coming in spring 2023, as the backdrop.
Revenues in the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area are up 41% over 2019.

In the final quarter of 2021, there were three times the number of visitors from Canada as there were in the same quarter in 2019. Canadians are #HonkHonk'ing for freedom.
Truly wild how many lies and inaccuracies Andy Ngo can cram into three little paragraphs.

1) I'm not a member of Philadelphia Antifa.
I'm an antifascist, and they're lovely people in my experience.
But yeah, no, the fact that some Sputh Philly racist once told a radio host I was part of some secret Barack Obama Antifa plot is, um. Not actually fact, lol.

2) I'm not a fat rights activist.
Never have been, have never called myself that.
It's good, liberatory work, but it isn't work I do.
This is just Andy calling me fat and then presenting it as journalism.
Again, lying.

2/ "kept their composure. It was extremely peaceful, they came in they took the fuel - which was their intent - their intent was to come in and confiscate the fuel that we have, that was donated, or purchased to be distributed to the trucks. ..."
3/ "However, I am pleased to say that that has no impact on our ability to continue operations whatsoever. It was absolutely inconsequential. ..."
it's insidious and disturbing how frequenly #honkhonk is paired with "pureblood".
