Curious road closures and emergency event at Parliament Hill

Chris Dacey headed down to the Hill after the Tamra Lich talk today which she gave after her guilty verdict was rendered in the courts from the longest running Mischief trial in the history of the Common wealth. That talk and Q&A should be available to all soon. But right after the talk, Chris Dacey caught this action at Parliament Hill. The newest rumour is that the bomb squad is there. But this has no actual meaning even if true most likely. Kinda like how when they get a 911 call they sometimes send fire, police and ambulance even though only one or none is needed.

Interview with the lone counter-protestor at Sunday’s anti-Israel rally

There is a famous photograph that has been circulating amongst our friends since people started to wake up to the fact that the West is largely communist now. In it, A large group of people are raising their arm in a Roman salute to Adolph Hitler. All except for one man who refuses to raise his arm.

It turns out this man’s name was August Landmesser. And this photo has made him a folk hero in freedom circles and rightfully so.

On Sunday at Parliament Hill, I met his spiritual twin. Amongst 5000 people screaming for the total destruction of Israel with chants of “From the River to the Sea”, and the current iteration of Heil Hitler, “Allah hu Ackbar”, there was a single man who stood amongst the crowd answering the calls calmly with facts. When the crowd chanted, “Free Free Free Palestine” he would answer: “From Hamas!”.

He also wore a Star of David on his coat with the German word, Jude in the centre. So no one could mistake what side he was on. It didn’t take long till he was surrounded by taunting leftists, police and at least a few people, likely Muslims, wrapped in the now-fashionable Palestinian scarves that Yassir Arafat, the first actual Palestinian in fact, made so famous.

Please listen to him tell his story below:

There is a great deal more detail about who this extraordinary man is at RAIR Foundation.

Entire area near Parliament shut down and reenforced due to unspecified threat

I have an idea what it was about, and will write it up as soon as time permits. For the moment, I can’t help but notice how our deep state seemed unable to spell “Para-military” on the backs of the men’s uniforms in the olive green.

This was all this afternoon at Parliament Hill, from around noon to when we left at about 4:00 PM.
