Start a gofundme, get arrested for it, go to jail, and be denied bail because you might start another gofundme. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Remain in jail.

Holy hell.

Well, she did "counsel to commit mischief".  I'm not exactly what that entails.  It sounds kind of like she was being charged with planning a prank, but I guess that must be more terrifying as you head north.

I would assume that the legal system in Canada is very similar in most respects to the USA.  Here at least the purpose of bail to ensure the individual has motivation to not flee if released prior to trial.  Likelihood of “reoffending” generally isn’t considered unless it’s an especially egregious case of violence. 

For something like this it should be quite simple to make not engaging in fund raising for protests a condition of release.  Maybe include a no-contact order with her co-defendants.

Look, people. If this woman got out, she could re-offend. Democracy could be imperiled. SAVE THE DEMOCRISEE!

Well looks like  the "DC convoy" "Freedom Convoy" "People's Convoy" has started.

I'm betting the feds shut it down hard because Ukraine.  That will be their excuse.  Can't have protests at home when the world is at war, dontcha know.

🙄

In a city that size I’m sure you can find one or two idiots like that, but I’d guess this entirely made up.  Reporters are too lazy to find anyone “legitimately” (in this case meaning not at the suggestion of the same reporters) making such a claim.

News reports this evening claimed that the convoy stopped in Nevada (Vegas?) due to "lack of participation".  ;/

Watched two videos yesterday showing a miles long convoy transiting Arizona and later New Mexico on I-40, on the way to their next overnight stop at the Texas-New Mexico border.  It sure didn't look like a "lack of participation".

Without reducing the severity of the Ukraine situation, really bad time in the news cycle for them to do this. Had war in Ukraine broken out a week earlier, I suspect these guys would have called off or postponed the convoy, though I realize they are trying to ride the crest of the Canadian wave.

So it appears what has happened is that they are consolidating to a single route, with the "Northern route" being cancelled.

Organizers of Freedom Convoy USA 2022 are urging all truckers and protesters who planned on joining them in their trek to Washington, D.C. to change course and join the main group, The People’s Convoy, which as of Saturday morning had reached Amarillo, Texas.

Kyle Sefcik, national organizer for Freedom Convoy USA 2022 told The Epoch Times on Feb. 26, The People’s Convoy is now the “official” convoy.

“I’m disappointed that our own little convoy didn’t have like 30 to 50 trucks. I was a big, wishful thinker,” he said. “Our send-off wasn’t what we were planning and hoping to be.”

The Freedom Convoy USA has abandoned its proposed northern route and has asked all truckers and supporters who planned to follow in motorhomes and smaller vehicles to join The People’s Convoy.

Has anyone in the MSM labeled this the Russian Convoy or something along those lines yet?

Hand 1:  Glad the convoy is passing near where I live. Too bad I am unable to take off work that day.

Hand 2: There should be more like 12 convoys, each one about 10 million strong.  =(

He's sorry

Quote
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he regrets referring to Freedom Convoy protesters as a “fringe minority” and admits his government could have done more to avoid having to invoke the Emergencies Act to end the protest.

    Before the convoy arrived in Ottawa, Trudeau labeled the group as a fringe and said they held “unacceptable views.”

    “I wish I had phrased that differently,” Trudeau told reporters during a press conference Friday.

    Trudeau said he was speaking too broadly about protesters, many of whom, he conceded, simply wanted to have their voices heard in opposing two years of government pandemic restrictions.

We saw the same thing in the US on a smaller scale after the Jan 6 protests.
I suspect should another large right wing disruptive protest event occur the consequences for those involved will be worse.
