Vancouver-based radio host Kid Carson was “politely shown the door” this week after railing against vaccine mandates and supporting the ongoing truckers’ protest in Ottawa, Canada, he told RT on Thursday. Carson believes that despite the best efforts of the mainstream media, the public is sick of the “corruption and craziness” of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, and the truckers parked on Parliament Hill aren’t going anywhere.

Adam Zivo: Trudeau’s flimsy excuses for declaring an emergency cause concern for the future
Earlier this week, Justin Trudeau invoked The Emergencies Act in an attempt to clear out convoy protesters who have been occupying downtown Ottawa, along with major transportation routes, for over almost three weeks. This nuclear option has been widely condemned as it sets a dangerous precedent for future government overreach. Critics are right to be concerned — the Trudeau government, in attempting to explain why Canada is in a state of emergency, has leveraged justifications so flimsy that one wonders what barriers, if any, will prevent future abuse of emergency powers.

Elon Musk deletes tweet that compared Justin Trudeau to Hitler
Elon Musk posted then deleted a satirical meme on Twitter that compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Adolf Hitler.
The Tesla CEO was responding to a Twitter post by the trade publication CoinDesk which reported that the Canadian government was cracking down on crypto transactions aimed at helping the truckers protesting vaccine mandates.
“Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau,” the meme featuring the likeness of Hitler read. At the bottom, it said: “I had a budget.”
Breathless Guardianistas report… Canada was warned before protests that violent extremists infiltrated convoy
Days before the so-called Freedom Convoy reached Ottawa, starting a weeks-long occupation of Canada’s capital and triggering a string of copy-cat blockades, the federal government was warned that violent extremist groups were deeply involved in the protest movement.
Intelligence assessments – prepared by Canada’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre (Itac) and seen by the Guardian – warned in late January that it was “likely” that extremists were involved and said that the scale of the protests could yet pose a “trigger point and opportunity for potential lone actor attackers to conduct a terrorism attack”.
The assessments offer the first real glimpse into how federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies have assessed the threat of Canada’s anti-vaccine and conspiracy theory movement.

BLM helps raise $100,000 bail for defund police activist charged with attempted murder of Jewish Democrat mayoral candidate
BLM helps raise $100,000 bail for defund police activist, 21, honored by Obama who’s now charged with attempted murder ‘after walking into Jewish Democrat mayoral candidate’s office and trying to assassinate him’
BLM has posted the $100,000 bail for an activist hailed by Obama who was charged with attempted murder after allegedly trying to assassinate a Jewish mayoral candidate.
Quintez Brown, 21, was accused of opening fire on Monday on Craig Greenberg, whose shirt was grazed by a bullet in his campaign headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky.
He was named as a ‘rising face’ by Barack Obama’s foundation in 2019, and appears on the Obama website bragging of his status as a role model for local boys. He was also repeatedly hired by the BBC – the UK’s prestigious public broadcaster – as a spokesman on race matters in the US.
Corbella: Instead of ‘following the money’ behind trucker convoy, let’s go after those who launder their money here
… Basically, the car and the boy’s apartment — worth millions of dollars — is simply an example of money laundering taking place in the open in Vancouver. It’s such a prevalent tactic, particularly for the ruling governing elite in China, it’s got a name — the “Vancouver Model.”
Extraordinary Measures
Justin Trudeau’s government uses national emergency powers to try to end the trucker protests
The ongoing saga of Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” took an extraordinary turn this week. In response to protests in Ottawa and blockade actions at some Canada–U.S. border crossings, the Canadian government invoked the Emergencies Act, giving itself exceptional powers to try to end the nearly three-week-long protests. It’s difficult to overstate the legal and political magnitude of this decision, which is undoubtedly among the most controversial in Justin Trudeau’s tenure as prime minister and will be the subject of debate for years.
Police restrict access to Ottawa’s core as occupation nears 4th weekend
Ottawa’s interim police chief says officers are working to keep more protesters from getting close to Parliament Hill as they try to end the occupation of downtown streets.
Steve Bell told the Ottawa Police Services Board early Thursday afternoon a major increase of police officers will be seen throughout the core.
“Only those with lawful reason to enter the core, such as residents, businesses and others with lawful reasons, will be allowed in the area,” Ottawa police tweeted around the same time as his remarks.
Canada & France bugout from Mali after failed decade-long operation against Islamist militants
Canada will be joining the withdrawal of a French-led military contingent from Mali after supporting the operation against Islamist militants for nearly a decade, according to a joint declaration by the military allies.
Canada does not have troops in the counter-insurgency campaign, known today as Operation Barkhane and Task Force Takuba, but has been supporting it with Canadian military transport aircraft since 2013.
France and its allies in the West African country, including Canada, have been increasingly critical of Mali’s military junta after it postponed elections and recruited hundreds of Russian military contractors for its internal security.
As Ottawa tries to stop the flow of money to protesters, questions remain on who will be targeted – and whether the tactics will work
Ottawa’s new emergency law enlists a huge range of financial players in a bid to cut off funds to protesters tied to the trucker blockades, but questions remain about who will be targeted and whether it will even work.
A new order and regulations under the Emergencies Act, which the federal government invoked on Monday, requires a long list of entities — this includes banks, insurance companies, credit unions, trust and loan companies, payment processors and online fundraising platforms — to continuously determine whether they should freeze accounts and halt services for individuals or companies tied to illegal assemblies and blockades that have gripped the country for weeks.
Canada’s secretive policy on ISIS detainees closes door to repatriation
The federal government has quietly adopted a policy that all but closes the door to repatriating Canadians from detention facilities in Syria for captured ISIS members and their families.
The secretive policy document on the detainees obtained by Global News said the government had no obligation to repatriate them and would only assist them under limited circumstances.
Banks have started to freeze accounts linked to the protests, Freeland says
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday financial institutions have moved quickly to freeze the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations in Ottawa, leaving an unknown number of protesters in financial limbo.
Freeland vowed to take more accounts offline in the coming days in an attempt to starve the organizers of the funds they need to continue their occupation of the nation’s capital.
Freeland, who is also the finance minister, said the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies have been gathering intelligence on convoy protesters and their supporters and sharing that information with financial institutions to restrict access to cash and cryptocurrency.
Justin Trudeau Has Disgraced His Office
He’s also exposed a massive flaw in Canada’s constitutional order.
… At no point in the last 34 years has anything that happened in Canada met either of these standards. By declaring that a medium-sized irritation — a group of truckers protesting in Ottawa — is severe enough to buck the trend (mostly, it seems, because the truckers happen to be his political enemies), Justin Trudeau has disgraced himself and his office.
