Sure, let's play that game.
I'm dying here.
Yes, Ezra Levant is a lying sack of shit.
From a recent chicken bucket-passing beg-a-thon e-mail from Rebel News Obergruppenfuhrer Ezra Levant:
From CTV News:
So, yes, nothing has changed and Ezra Levant is still a swinishly dishonest piece of execrable human garbage.
Thanks for stopping by.
P.S. I am apparently not the only person who suspects Ezra is melting down just a wee bit, with the announcement of a Parliamentary commission that wants to chat with GoFundMe about the origin of some of those massive anonymous convoy donations, and where all this dosh is coming from. One suspects Ezra might be getting a wee bit nervous about just how hard he's going to have to work to conceal all those transactions.
Anyway, that's just what I hear. For what it's worth.
BONUS TRACK: It's moderately entertaining to see how (lying sack of crap) Ezra Levant -- from the safety of his condo in Toronto -- downplays the severity of the current occupation of Ottawa:
Sure, it's just some truckers making some noise by honking their horns; it's not like it's, you know, a relentless aural barrage of big rig air horns for hours a day at a decibel level that can easily cause permanent hearing loss or anything.
What an asshole.
CC HQ gets results!
It was just yesterday that I suggested to Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly -- who is a spectacular waste of skin and of no discernible benefit to the community unless he's already signed his organ donor card to leave various internal organs to people who have actual value to society -- that if he could not make a significant difference to the city that, perhaps, he could resolve just one simple, straightforward task and move those two rigs that had been parked for nigh on a week on Rideau St. at King Edward.
Well, lo and behold, as of 3:30 a.m. this morning, aforesaid rigs were gone, which suggests that if you need something done, there's little point in contacting the constabulary when you can just drop a note to us here at CC HQ and we'll take care of it.
CC HQ: We get shit done.

There's bullshit, there's sleazy bullshit, and then there's human garbage Ezra.
CORRECTION/RETRACTION: It would appear that the anti-Semitic poster below is not from the current "Asshole Convoy," so we here at CC HQ would like to correct the record as, unlike human garbage Ezra Levant, we prefer to own our mistakes.
Carry on ...
Ah, the bravery of being somewhere else ...
BONUS TRACK: There's something just sad about Ezra so gleefully embracing the naked anti-Semitism of the "Freedom Convoy."
Well, it's not like Ezra has any principles anyway, so ... no big deal.
A modest proposal.
"If you don't move your rig, we will tow it."
"HA! You don't have the tow truck that can move my rig."
"I didn't say we'd tow it in one piece."
Peter Sloly: "We just don't have the resources to tow some of these trucks." Fuck off.
Apparently, there are two arguments for not towing some of these clearly illegally-parked big rigs:
- The city does not have tow trucks sufficiently substantial, or
- Private companies that do have such trucks refuse to co-operate.
Let us disembowel both of these arguments.
First, the city clearly either has, or has access to, tow trucks that can handle massive transit buses so, yes, we sure as shit do have the machine power to do this, and if such beasts are owned by the city, then there is no excuse to not be getting this done.
If, on the other hand, the city counts on private firms to do this, and those firms refuse to play ball, then you cancel their contract (with cause), and you make it clear that that cancellation is permanent. And if enough companies want to be assholes about this, by the time you've recouped the money you spent on those contracts, I'm betting you have enough scratch lying around to buy a few rig-capable monsters that can rip the front end off an 18-wheeler if the owner refuses to release the air brakes.
Get your shit together, Ottawa, and make this happen.
Pitter patter, let's get at 'er.
JUXTAPOSE!
Huh:
I await Ezra Levant's shrieking, spittle-flecked outrage over foreign funding interference in Canadian politics.
Any minute now, right?
BONUS TRACK: For full hilarity, here's Ezra Levant favourite and "Ethical Oil" airhead Kathryn Marshall, yammering on about the evil of foreign funding masters deep pockets. Or something.
That clip never stops being funny.
BREAKING!
JUXTAPOSE!
The dishonesty of trucker convoy supporters.
Of Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly, and low-hanging fruit.
... and that's when I stopped reading.
"Most of the crowd seems non-violent, even cheerful, ..."
Can someone tell Matt Gurney to fuck off?
P.S. If you want to subject yourself to Gurney's entire thread, help yourself. Then tell me I didn't say the same thing but sanely and coherently two days ago.
Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly has a plan.
Well, actually, it's more like a plan of a framework of a strategy of two frameworks of a strategy of a plan.
Christ, can someone fire this incompetent twat before someone gets killed?
P.S. There is some delightful irony in that the truckers want Sloly gone because they see him as a dictatorial, communist, Stalinist, Leninist, fascist commie dictator, run amok with power and crushing free expression, while the rest of us want him gone because he is an indescribably inept, incompetent, unqualified dumbshit who I would not trust to put two coats of wax on my wheelbarrow.

"Does anyone here know how to law?"
Let me summarize this astonishingly idiotic emergency Ottawa Police Services Board meeting:
"None of us here know how the law actually works."
I am not fucking kidding ... every single person in that meeting who was asked about how the law works admitted that they did not know but would be happy to look into it.
If Peter Sloly is still the chief of police 24 hours from now, this city deserves what it gets.
Once again, I called it.
Scott Moffatt: Moron.
Here's an indescribably stupid person -- Ottawa city councillor Scott Moffatt -- being schooled by actual lawyer Emilie Taman:
Just throwing this out there, but maybe -- just maybe -- Ottawa is such a badly run city because we elect imbeciles like Scott Moffatt to run it.
The lies, the lies, the glorious lies.
The current shrieking from the grift-o-sphere is that the Canadian government (more specifically, Justin Trudeau, who appears to be more powerful than Thanos) "ordered" GoFundMe to shut down the $10M trucker grift. No, this is not what happened, as the courageous few on social media are trying to explain:
In short, many, many, many, many people reported the criminal nature of the truckers' siege and occupation of the city (with unimpeachable video evidence) at which point I would think GoFundMe had absolutely no choice but to find the fundraiser in violation of its Terms of Service and shut it down.
No one "ordered" anything. What part of that do some of you find so difficult to understand?
There's stupid, and there's trucker-level stupid.
"Sure, she hoovered up 10 million, walked off with a million of it, and the lawsuits are going to take the rest and every one of us is going to get boned up the ass but -- and hear me out -- let's give her another 16 million."
This is the level of stupid we're dealing with.
AFTERSNARK: This is Christian scam artists GiveSendGo, openly encouraging people to commit fraud by "disputing" their donation to GoFundMe, even though they openly admit that GoFundMe offers the opportunity to request a refund simply by clicking on a button.
Given the existence of the "Refund" button, not only will the above not work, but I'm guessing GiveSendGo can be sued by encouraging that sort of fraud. I don't think we've seen the last of the lawsuits here, but I think we can all agree that Tamara Lich can now afford a second McLaren F1.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
You racist, redneck hillbillies are so fucked:
Good luck getting home on your credit card.
P.S. I don't think GoFundMe is going to be passing on all that leftover dosh to any charities any time soon:
SOMEBODY CALL THE WAAAAAHMBULANCE!
Ezra creates fundraiser to sue GoFundMe for funds in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Pure Rebel propaganda.
OMFG ... this manipulative bullshit has Ezra Levant written all over it:
Here, let me tell you how this is going to play out. Truckers will, of course, gush over how altruistic they are with this, and how they're trying to give back to the community and so on.
The city (quite properly) will move in and dismantle it because, regardless of its altruism, it is an illegal structure that was erected without any approval on public property.
The truckers (and particularly Ezra and Rebel News) will freak out and publish:
"SHOCKING! City of Ottawa demolishes truckers' charity soup kitchen!!!!"
"The City of Ottawa claims that it cares about the hungry and homeless, but they just moved in and, in an appalling demonstration of liberal brutality and thuggishness, demolished a soup kitchen that the truckers' convoy had built at their own expense to give free meals to the area's hungry and homeless!"
That's how it's going to go, because this sort of sleazy propaganda is pretty much Ezra's M.O. Let's watch.
BY THE WAY, the Ottawa cops have already irredeemably fucked up their response to this. The correct time to have dealt with that illegal structure was the instant the cops became aware of it. But, no, being the dumbfucks they are, they allowed it be completed, and now it's going to be that much more difficult to dismantle it in the glare of all the publicity.
How did someone as motherfucking stupid as Peter Sloly even graduate the Academy, much less become a chief?
A wild and crazy idea.
What does being "well-funded" have to do with anything?
Why these trucker blockades have totally changed the fascist dynamic.
I'm pondering a much longer piece about this, but I will throw this out right now -- what is happening in Ottawa and in Coutts, Alberta should scare the living shit out of normal Canadians, because it represents a really, really ugly and frightening development related to Canadian fascism.
I submit that these blockades have nothing to do with vaccine mandates -- never have, never will. What they represent is a "trial run" to demonstrate that, if you can make enough people angry, then harness that anger and point them in whatever direction you want, they have absolutely nothing to fear from either the cops or the RCMP.
And that is exactly what they just proved.
Until now, when Canada's right-wing propagandists like Rebel News, True North Centre, Post Millennial, JCCF and other bottom-dwelling white nationalists encouraged and organized public confrontations, one could at least assume that, if things got out of hand, law enforcement would always be ready to step in and put a stop to it.
Not anymore.
If this was a "normal" protest, then there would have been angry truckers, and they would have showed up for a couple days, and honked their horns, and finally got tired and gone home. But this time, things were different. This time, all of this anger was encouraged and funded, with these right-wing outlets exhorting truckers to stand tough, and stay the course, and not back down, and so on, and so on, and the goal here was surprisingly obvious: It was to prove that, if you collect enough angry people, and give them fawning press coverage, and make them feel important, and subsidize them via fundraisers to the point where they're just not going to back down, then the cops and the RCMP will totally throw up their hands and walk away.
This was not a "protest"; it was a trial run to prove, once and for all, that right-wing mob rule will trump law enforcement and, having proven that beyond even the slightest doubt, none of Canada's fascists are even the teeniest bit scared of the cops anymore. They came, they saw, and they put the fear into Ottawa Police Services and, for the first time, they know that they can do that whenever they want.
This is not going to end well.
AFTERSNARK: Snippet from first commenter:
And now the Saskatchewan legislature is seeing the exact same thing happen there this weekend…a bunch of fascists organizing what they are calling a “trucker convoy” without a permit (which they are very proud about) and they have openly stated they will be blocking streets and access to the legislative building.
And I'm willing to bet that, having seen the embarrassing ineffectiveness and cowardice of both the RCMP and Ottawa Police Services, they have absolutely no fear of pushback by law enforcement. This would seem to be the perfect experiment to see if what I've written above is accurate.
It's official: Ezra Levant and Rebel News are funding terrorism.
My favourite charity, The Democracy Fund [who Ezra and Rebel News are actively running crowdfunders for], has sent civil liberties lawyers to Ottawa to provide legal information to the truckers in Ottawa.
JUXTAPOSE!
I can't even parody this anymore.

One of these things is not like the others.
- "It's unfair to tar the entire convoy based on the actions of a couple Nazis."
- "It's unfair to tar all of Home Hardware based on the actions of a single fascist franchisee."
- "Hey, there's one Muslim doing something bad, so all of Islam is crap."
Dear CBC: You suck.
Shorter Power and Politics: "I have a couple Conservative guests, so let me ask -- why does Justin Trudeau suck?"
"They put their lives on the line for you every day." Um, no ... they don't.
Regarding the regular proposition that our men in blue are the courageous defenders of justice who risk their lives in the line of duty every day, well, we seem to have learned that that is total and utter bullshit.
What we have learned is that they're willing to do their jobs precisely as long as there is little to no personal risk, and if faced with something like a mob of racist trucker hillbillies who don't feel like moving their trucks, the cops' instant reaction is to turn tail and announce that this looks dangerous and it's not what they signed up for.
Profiles in gutlessness, the whole fucking lot of them.
The dumbassitude of being out of range.
There's always Canadian TIre.

Wednesday, February 02, 2022
Uh huh.
And your strategy to mitigate risks is to have your officers take selfies with the truckers and move their roadblocks so all those truckers can conveniently refuel their rigs?
Sure, that sounds like a plan. Let us know how that works out.
P.S. Would it not be awesome if a bunch of citizens figured out where Chief Sloly lives, and drove back and forth in front of his house all night long honking their horns?
Oh, the hilarity.
REMINDER: If you need an Ottawa cop, ...
... just follow the trail of fear-soaked urine as they run from doing their jobs.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.
Here ... let me change a few words and see what you think.
"Officer ... there are numerous men raping women in Centretown!"
"Well, yes, ma'am, we're aware of that and we're taking steps. First, understand that there used to be over a thousand of them raping women but, with some of them getting bored raping women in Centretown and leaving voluntarily, it's down to about 250 so that's definite progress, and we've blocked off some streets to prevent any more rapists from entering the area. We're sure that if we just be patient, most of them will probably leave by the weekend. As for arresting them, well, it turns out that that would upset them and we don't want to incite anything, so we're taking a hands-off approach for the time being. Mostly, our advice is, if you don't want to be raped, don't go outdoors. And maybe stop dressing like that."
There you go, Ottawa Police Services ... fixed it for you.
Dear Ottawa Police: Fuck off.
Le *sigh* ...
[Coutts, AB] Senior officers of Alberta RCMP retreated in the face of numerous truckers who refused to listen to them, explaining that they were going to consult their law enforcement manuals on how to deal with large numbers of uncooperative white people.
"We're in unknown territory here," insisted Lance Corporal Ensign Trooper Bubba "Bubba" McBeatdown. "We're checking our procedure manuals for how to deal with something like this. Take a look at these different subsections ... natives, blacks, Muslims, environmentalists ... but nothing about white people. It's a puzzler."
A spokesperson for Ottawa Police Services sympathized with the RCMP, adding, "It's beyond us to know how to react when white folks refuse to co-operate. So we're going out to find someone named Ahmed and beat the shit out of him until one of us has an idea."
Chronicles of Twatrick: The Grizzly Adams edition.
According to three independent sources (and I am still unsure how seriously to take all this), Lloydminster's favourite financial advisor, undischarged bankrupt and village idiot Patrick "Lord Baron Twatrick von Loadenhosen The Real Deal Kid Cash Thunderbolt Nexus Quintuple Threat MMA Cosplay Street Fighting Man" Ross is currently -- due to financial constraints -- living out of his car during the (work?) week, and hanging out at a cabin in the woods, Unabomber-style, on the weekends, given that I have allegedly so impoverished him with my collection proceedings against him that he really has no other options.
While this is amusing, it's hard to fathom since I have collected only around $6,400 from Patrick, and that's hardly enough to put someone in the poor house, but there are other intriguing aspects to this story.
First, it appears that Canada's Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy has been trying very, very hard to contact Patrick, via phone, e-mail and letters to his Lloyd residence, but Patrick is steadfastly refusing to reply to any of that, so we can safely say that Patrick is working very hard at the moment to stay out of sight, I'm guessing because the OSB is extremely unhappy with Patrick's years of contemptuous non-compliance and would like to make that clear to him. So it's no surprise Patrick is playing hard to get.
As for his financial dire straits, while (as I said) I really haven't seized all that much from him, I have been informed that the Saskatchewan sheriffs have in fact kicked into gear the newest filing for collection, that one being the big one for the judgment itself:
and while I have heard nothing on that score, that doesn't mean they haven't grabbed a handful of cash since it normally takes several days for the sheriffs to report in, so maybe it really has happened and they have just not reported it to me yet.
But wait, you think, how could Patrick have that much scratch lying around? It's because, according to another of my sources, Patrick's father is not in the best of health and, recently, he tossed around substantial amounts to the children as "pre-inheritance", and it is entirely possible that Patrick would have had more than $100,000 in his account, and if the sheriffs timed it right and hit that account while it was loaded, well, maybe they did grab all of it for me.
All of this is speculation, of course, but it is not speculation that the OSB very badly wants to talk to Patrick, and he is simply staying out of sight, which is going to make prosecuting any sort of legal action extremely difficult if he does not provide proper contact information for service. But he's a boy genius -- I'm sure he's thought of that.

The depressing ineffectiveness of Alberta RCMP.
"Leave, or we'll yell 'Leave' again!"
OH, DEAR GOD ... there is actual video of the Alberta RCMP setting up a roadblock, and trucks and tractors simply driving around it. Holy shit, the incompetence.
Ah, the Rebel News griftiness: I called it.
Go watch the 1:13 of bloviating colostomy bag and Rebel News butt plug Chad Williamson here, then come back. I'll wait.
OK, so what did we learn? Simple.
First, if truckers leave voluntarily, they will not be charged, which means they have no need for legal representation. And if they don't leave voluntarily, they can be charged under various pieces of legislation, for which there is absolutely not even the slightest fucking chance of a valid legal defense, and the judge will tell Chad to please put a fucking sock in it, thanks very much.
In short, at this point, there is no need whatsoever to be collecting donations for a legal defense, as you either don't need one, or you're fucked, anyway.
Pure grift. And I called it, didn't I?
A grift in two parts.
How it started:
How it's going:
In other words, Rebel News took in what was most likely many tens of thousands of dollars for "legal fees," only for the truckers to move on voluntarily in the end and not need any representation.
Same as it ever was.
Chronicles of Twatrick: "Sure, it's cramped, but the seats recline."
Anonymous tipster passes along a moderately weird claim -- undischarged bankrupt and Lloydminster village idiot Patrick "Lord Baron Twatrick von Loadenhosen" Ross is currently so broke that he is living in his current vehicle during the work week and couch-surfing on the weekends, unable to even rent a room to store all his WWE replica championship belts and autographed Jordan Peterson books.
I'm not sure what to make of this claim since, given that I have seized only about $6,400 from him pursuant to my collecting on my 2010 defamation judgment against him, it's not clear how depriving Patrick of that little dosh could have so radically altered his lifestyle.
On the other hand, I have just heard that the Saskatchewan sheriffs have filed another seizure notice with his credit union, so maybe they have in fact cleaned him out and haven't told me yet. Anything is possible, so I guess we just have to patient. In the meantime, be on the lookout for a Ford Escape parked in a Walmart parking lot outside of Grande Prairie with underwear hanging out the back to dry.
Lessons learned the hard way.
I have a friend and his son trapped on the outskirts of Ottawa for the past 3 days. Many people tried to talk him out of his little road trip, but he wouldn't listen. He's vaccinated 3x, but he's very anti-government. It's the way he was brought up. He's there fighting for freedoms, not against a vaccine.He's trying to leave because food and fuel are short, but the tractors are parked so close together he can't move. In trying to get help, he's being called a traitor for leaving. Fact is he spent a lot of money getting there with the promise once he got to Ottawa he'd receive reimbursement. As of 2 days ago, he can't reach any of the leadership. It's as if he's been soft blocked on the app they used. There's 3 other convoys in the same predicament, leaders are giving interviews from "undisclosed locations" because EVERYONE is looking for them.The terrific thing is that word's gone through the entire convoy that the RCMP and City of Ottawa are attempting to seize those donated funds, or at least stop them from being withdrawn.This is _exactly_ what I warned about, to all the people going. I even attended the rally here last Saturday and it was a shit show. It wasn't a protest. It was a mob of asshats looking to start trouble.I asked one person there what he thought about all the racist images coming in, and he said "that's not here in Edmonton" and I pointed to one in the crowd. Instead of calling it down, he got aggressive and called me a traitor.He got even more upset when I said if I'm the problem calling out racism in his movement, he was comfortable with the imagery.As we speak, my friend is walking up the road to ask RCMP for assistance with getting out of the truck line and coming home. He feels like an ass, and he feels like he was duped. He's also not the only one there feeling the same.
Dear Alberta:
If you notice empty produce shelves at your local supermarket in the next few days ...
... thank a trucker.
JUXTAPOSE!
Ironically, truckers involved in Coutts, Alberta cross-border blockade and causing problems with supply chain currently whining about problems with supply chain.
BREAKING!
[Coutts, AB] Having run out of patience with the trucker convoy blocking the border at Coutts, Alberta, RCMP announce that they will beat up an indigenous Canadian every hour until truckers disperse.
