I have a message for the #FreedomFighters #FreedomConvoy #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 #FreeDumbConvoy #Freedumbers #FluTruxKlan
I have realized why I'm so angry with you and your inane claims that we are not free in Canada. Because I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO NOT BE FREE. I lived under
the authoritarian Communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu until I was 13. Loss of freedom meant you could not criticize out leader in public, as there were special security agents everywhere. Most people who did criticize Ceausescu disappeared in state jails forever.
In Canada you #FreeDumbConvoy can criticize Justin Trudeau all you want, even threaten him with death, and you are lucky enough to only be charged and get out on bail. You know fuck all about freedom.
Secondly in Romania against the dictator Ceausescu were quashed with gunfire

Is this history repeating itself?

FEBRUARY 28, 1933

After an incident at the Parliament (fire) Pres. Hindenburg approved an emergency decree, known as the Reichstag Fire Decree,

#freedomconvoy #FreedomConvoy2022 #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 #FreedomRally #FreedomTruckers
2/3
This emergency decree suspended individual rights and due process of law.

It permitted the arrest and incarceration of political opposition without specific charge and suppressed publications.

It also gave the government the authority to overrule state and local laws.

This was a key step in establishing the Nazi dictatorship. Germany became a police state, citizens enjoyed no guaranteed rights and The SS wielded increasing authority through control over the police.

🏛 R. v. Colarusso, [1994] 1 S.C.R. 20

DIFFICULT QUESTION:

Does a "potential for improper complicity" (R v Colarusso) between the police and in this case, The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa exist in relation to #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 ?

Allow me to explain.
2/6
IF ANY CONSIDERATION is underway between @OttawaPolice and @CASO_SAEO whereupon the police seek to improperly buttress their investigative procedures (and overcome any case weaknesses), THEN such would run afoul of R v Colarusso.

LINK (earlier Tweet):

In R v Colarusso, Supreme Court of Canada #SCC ruled clearly:

"It is sufficient to say that this Court will not tolerate using the [Substitution of: '#CAS right of apprehension'] as a 'back door' means of defeating ..."

HERE'S A Q:

Does Canadian law view each truck in #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 as a "dwelling house"?

IF SO - AS A FMR RCMP (Ret'd) there can be little doubt as the question is essentially rhetorical (See 2) - THEN any "police crackdown" [media parlance]

2/4
⟨MUST⟩ address this in any search and seizure of these places ("units"), if it is to be conducted lawfully.

WHAT DOES THIS ULTIMATELY MEAN?

This is significant.

It means Information to Obtain (ITO) will be required and separate Section 487 Search Warrant for each and
3/4
every truck being used a dwelling house.

This means the police will have to identify and differentiate each and every truck and determine whether it is being used as a dwelling house.

THEN once identified, the police must satisfy a Justice. (See Below)

The seizure of gas and food from #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 is a hot button topic. Let unpack this and figure out what authority they have to seize this property. 🧵
The likely Criminal Code section they are utilizing is S. 430 - Mischief. Specifically subsections (C) and (D)
430(1)(C) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property; or
430(1)(D) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property.

Quebec City Canada Officially Proclaims, The Peasants are Revolting
zpr.io/948iwaGRYQji
It really does seem like something out of a modern-day Monty Python skit.
Officials in the city of Quebec City, Canada were fearful the pesky unwashed peasants might make their way to the parliament buildings, so they blocked the passages and sent guards to ensure no one could traverse the ramparts.

Back from a walk downtown and as someone who studies protest camps, the idea of #FreedomConvoyCanada as an #OttawaOccupation is spot on. It has all the hallmarks of a protest camp in that it is a both an act of protest & social reproduction #FluTrucksClan
Urban protest camps can feed off city infrastructure (gas & food) and also supplements it. Scattered downtown are tables full of supplies, socks, granola bars, shovels and stacks of TP. There also appear to be people with sleds pulling supplies around.
It's also interesting to note how clean (for now) the streets are. On my walk through I saw a few small teams actively cleaning the streets and filling garbage bags. Of course, this is key for one's image.

Stop blaming the trucker convoy for things!

It was just one or two guys with Nazi Party swastika flags.

It's just a few guys with swastikas on their Cdn flags.

It's just two guys with Confederate flags.

#cdnpoli #FreedomConvoyCanada2022
It was just one guy who threatened that woman with sexual assault for wearing a mask.

It was just a small group that forced a homeless shelter to give them food.

It was just a few people who desecrated the War Memorial and the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument.
It was just 26 or so charged with traffic and noise offenses.

It was just a few setting off illegal fireworks.

It was just a handful of people harassing reporters and threatening to hang them.

It was just the one guy who called for a January 6-style assault on Parliament.

#FreedomConvoyCanada2022 Update. This is where it gets tough. The crowds dissipate, people go to work, the truckers stay and it gets a little lonely until the weekend. Keep your heads up high, you are making a difference. Here's a brief summary of some of what's happening 1/9
1) Postmedia (largest newspaper chain in Canada) calls for all restrictions to be lifted
2) Conservative MPs vote to review Erin O'Toole's leadership this Wednesday because of his lack of support for truckers 2/9
3) Conservative Deputy Leader Candace Bergen and other MPs like @PierrePoilievre actually rise in the house and condemn lockdowns and ask when this will end
4) Premier Scott Moe (SK) announces he will end vaccine passports and covid restrictions 3/9

@lespolero3 #FreedomConvoyCanadá2022, #TruckersForFreedom2022 está relacionado a la Mafia. Es una situación de disidencia controlada como lo expondré en el siguiente hilo. PD: El Presidente General de los Teamsters es miembro de la Asociación de Detroit (cómo lo fue su padre).

By aligning the most pious Sikh slogan of ‘Jo Bole So Nihal’ with the racist & white-supremacist #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 movement, this bunch of lunatics have defamed the whole Canadian Sikh community.

ਫੁੱਦੂ ਜੰਮਣ ਕੰਧਾਂ ਕੰਬਣ ਲੋਕੀਂ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਭੁਚਾਲ਼ ਆ ਗਿਆ..
The fact that they are using the ‘Sikh’ flag in the same space as the confederate & Nazi flags calls for Sikh bodies to condemn them & their likes in the strongest of voices.

It’s a disrespect of the Sikh ethos & sentiment. Highly objectionable & shameful.
This is the crowd with which you shared the space & defamed Sikhism.
