I drove by today and a couple thoughts. First, I definitely honked my horn. I just want to encourage them to waste their time for as long as possible. I hope they take that and think “wow, we’re really making a difference here!” And stay there for 6-8 months.
Also, how in the world are they actually gaining support? I see these guys with upside down Canadian flags and it’s just incredibly insulting. Even if they had a great idea, I couldn’t be around people like that. It’s just embarrassing. And then you have people there with a combination of US Flags and upside down Canadian ones, which is even worse. Just move to the US if you want to be there? Plenty of people do that and there’s no reason you can’t join them. That’s not even counting the deplorable signs and such they have.

I'm looking to donate an inflatable Hot Tub to the first group of guys willing to camp out on Smith's Lawn.

I said to my daughter as we drove by honking that I’m unwilling to contribute anything. I purely want to encourage them to waste their time living next to the highway for as long as possible.

They all have too many criminal convictions to be allowed into the US.

They would just blend in with the common rabble of Edmonton. Nobody would think it was a protest.

Speaking of Canada flags, what's the deal with the grey flag stickers? I see them on a lot of trucks and vehicles but it usually on black vehicles or on tinted windows and I don't know if it is meant to be a subtle look/support because the traditional red/white flag would really stand out of there is some other meaning behind the grey flag.

The lesser known but just as insidious grey agenda.

Y'all see the Netflix doc Antisocial Network? I guess I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't realize qanon had a quasi link to Anonymous.
Also interesting to see the parallel with movements in Japan a decade earlier with the 4chan forbearer, 2chan.

Where is the Gay Trucker's Union? Where do they stand on these issues?

Have you watched "Q, into the storm"?
Great little doc by Hoback.
If anyone is interested, while there are lots of great Qanon research podcasts, Qanon Anonymous is top of my list. Funny, stupid, insightful and often well researched.
They have covered all the adjacent stuff too, such as the Convoy, Queen of Canada and most of the other craziness that is/has happened leading us up to where we are now.

Shouldn’t they wait until laws are broken or the situation actually begins it escalate?
I haven’t been to the site but from what I’ve heard they are staying off the road. If that continues to be the case it’d be pretty hard to justify arrests.

^thats why I said they should start arresting people. It’s ridiculous to let them do this without consequence.

Yeah I wasn’t aware that they had been back on the road. Should be pretty straightforward stuff to deal with for the police, they’re putting themselves and the public in danger.

They know their plans. Have the tow trucks and extra handcuffs ready. Our road ways have been hijacked way too much the last few years. Protest all you want, get off the ####ing roads. Get out of people's way. I don't care if you're downtown or on the trans Canada. Don't impede traffic, don't bugger up the sidewalks for people either.
