Who is "The Marie Oakes", and why is she lying?

One more example of all this truck-related dumbassitude, this from some spectacularly unprincipled hack apparently named Marie Oakes on Twitter:

Well, that is certainly one impressive convoy ... until you look closer.

First, note the date on that tweet: Jan 21, 2022. That's kind of problematic since, according to numerous sources such as LifeSite News, absolutely no one was scheduled to begin driving until this weekend; more specifically, Jan 23 at the earliest:

The bigger problem with that video (which you can watch here) is that the narration is completely in French, and as I don't understand French, I can't translate, but French suggests this video might have been made by someone driving in Quebec, and there is no way Quebec truckers would have started driving already in order to arrive in Ottawa a full eight days later.

Personally, that looks like a massive backup caused by an accident, but if anyone wants to take a closer look and deduce what is going on there, I think it's safe to say that Marie Oakes is a disingenuous twatwaffle who grabbed a video of a random traffic jam and slapped a "2022 Freedom Convoy" label on it.

I am open to being convinced otherwise.

P.S. There is one more obvious indicator that the above has nothing to do with the severely brain-damaged 2022 Freedom Convoy, and that's that the above video was clearly shot at night, which makes no sense as one would assume that the actual convoy would drive during the day, then pull over for the night.

I think it's already painfully clear that the above video is bogus, but that's just one more bit of evidence against it.

P.P.S. One curiosity about this whole doomed venture. According to the organizers themselves, truckers from the west coast will start out with a "slow roll" on January 23, allegedly arriving in Ottawa on January 28. Uh ... that's only five days and, according to my calculations, the distance from Vancouver to Ottawa by road is just under 4400 km, which means that this entire convoy expects to cover almost 900 km every single day, including driving across the prairies in late January.

Really? You think so? I need to watch this.

OH, GOOD LORD ... you just knew that white nationalist and total doofus Keean Bexte would fall for this obvious fakery:
