8. The Nitty Gritty: Capitalism & Fascism

Andrew Lawton talks about his book on the occupation of Ottawa, what the media got wrong, and how to reach people beholden to conspiracy theories.

However strongly we leftists may disagree with the objectives, values or opinions of participants in the “freedom convoy,” if we support the government’s use of emergency powers in these circumstances, then it is only a matter of time before the government turns those extraordinary powers against us. According to lawyer, author and activist Dimitri Lascaris, that is the last thing we need.

'We're saying that this is a far-right convoy because — from day one — the organizers themselves are part of the far-right movement,' said Evan Balgord, Canadian Anti-Hate Network.

“Let’s assume there were people who do have a Confederate flag ... I don’t care … I want to hear unacceptable opinions”

The Official Opposition leader is facing questions after stopping to cheer on an anti-carbon tax convoy camp near the border between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where he accused the prime minister of lying about everything.

CTVNews.ca spoke with more than half a dozen Ottawa residents who live at the centre of where the trucker protests took place, and they shared very similar experiences on the lingering mental-health effects from the Freedom Convoy’s occupation of their streets and neighbourhood.

“Accelerate, accelerate, there’s no way out,” says Diagolon’s de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie. “This is going to come to total shit, so let’s just get it over with.”

Under the moniker “The Ferryman’s Toll,” Alex Vriend has travelled across Canada trying to unite a growing number of “Diagolon” supporters – a conspiracy-based network of preppers waiting for violent revolution.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network tweeted on Monday that gear seized by police at Coutts includes a plate carrier with Diagolon patches.

Facebook backed Canada into a corner.

“It really surprises me that Google has decided that they would rather prevent Canadians from accessing news than actually paying journalists for the work they do. I think that’s a terrible mistake and I know that Canadians expect journalists to be well paid for the work they do.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau waded into Bill C-18 and Google removing links to Canadian news articles in search results as part of a test for a small percentage of users yesterday with the quote cited above. At a press conference in Toronto, Trudeau went out of his way to volunteer that he is surprised by Google’s actions, which he thinks is a “terrible mistake.” If Trudeau was surprised, then he has not been paying attention, as the possibility of removing links to news articles in search results or social media has been an obvious consequence of a bill that mandates payments for links. But his surprise isn’t what is important or requires comment. What does is that Trudeau's comments mislead on several critical issues with Bill C-18.

The timing of Google’s deals raises questions, coming just as the News Media Bargaining Code is set to be introduced into federal parliament.
