Profiles in Extremism

Pat King is the Northern Alberta organizer of the convoy. He has been a highly visible figure in Canada’s far right, starting with his participation in Yellow Vests Canada. He went on from there to be a co-founder and board member of the western separatist movement Alberta Wexit. He has been profiled many times by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network as a racist, an anti-Semite and a white supremacist. King took part in a violent disruption of an antiracist press conference in Red Deer during which a press conference presenter was assaulted. King is not a trucker, but was one some years ago.

Hurley is an administrator of Freedom Convoy 2022. He was also active in the Yellow vests, and is now involved in the sovereign citizen, conspiracist Unify The People group. He is an antivaxxer, anti-refugee, and has signalled support for QAnon on his Facebook page. Does not appear to be a trucker.

Lich ran the convoy’s GoFundMe which has raised over $10million before being shut down by the company. She was the Medicine Hat organizer for Yellow Vests Canada, a regional coordinator for Wexit, and until early February was the secretary and a board member of Wexit’s successor organization, the Maverick Party. Not a trucker.

Garrah is Ottawa convoy coordinator. He ran the convoy’s GiveSendGo fundraiser until it was frozen. He’s an antivaxxer, a PPC supporter, and believes that vaccinations are genocide. May be a trucker.

Lefaci is Northeast Ontario coordinator of the convoy. He is also Northern Ontario coordinator of the No More Lockdowns group and has posted his belief that “public health is murder.” He also harasses store employees for enforcing mask mandates. Wears Soldiers of Odin hoodie. Does not appear to be a trucker.

Jonker is Fort Erie coordinator of the convoy. He’s also a city councillor from West Lincoln, Ontario, an antivaxxer and a member of the Anti-Lockdown Caucus of antivaxx politicians. He was also a candidate for the far right Christian Heritage Party in the 2021 federal election. Jonkers’ family owns a trucking company.

Barber is the southern Saskatchewan organizer of the convoy. He has two Confederate flags hanging on the wall of his garage. He’s also a racist and a homophobe.

Metcalfe is convoy coordinator in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She is an activist in Stand United, an antivaxx group that has been targeting media outlets with demonstrations across the country.

Dichter, along with Tamara Lich, is one of the two national convoy fundraisers, including the now-closed $10 million+ GoFundMe.
He also is fine with Confederate flags at convoy events. After he left the Conservative Party he joined the PPC and ran as a candidate in Toronto Danforth. This explain his Islamophobia: “Despite what our corporate media and political leaders want to admit, Islamist entryism and the adaptation of political Islam is rotting away at our society like syphilis.” He believes “the Liberal Party is ‘infested’ with Islamists,” and that “Canada is ill and suffering and it is suffering from the stench of cultural relativism and political Islam.”

“So let’s talk about the media and who owns them. I encourage everyone to look into the horrible George Soros. At 15 he would rat out where Jewish were hiding and collected their belongings for the government to take, even though he himself was Jewish.

At 50 he said he had zero regret about his actions, full well knowing the blood that was on his hands, when asked in an interview. This should give you an idea of the mentality of one of the biggest puppeteers in this game.

There are 6 people that own ALL the media in the world and those 6 ALL report to one guy…George! This puppeteer controls the entire narrative. He and the sick bastards that report to him have an awful agenda to control all of us and to also depopulate the planet.”

The Brian Ruhe Show (July 22nd, 2020):

“Well, if anyone understands these people like George Soros, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, they’re the ones who on the six major broadcasting corporations, who run all of our media, all of our news, and that is how they’re able to manipulate the masses, I didn’t know that in 1913 the Rothschilds actually bought the United States of America. They’re, the U.S. Treasury is not owned by the U.S., it’s owned by the Rothschilds.”

Alicia Johnson, Facebook page, January 6, 2021:

“Antifa is a Biden / George Soros movement aka besties with Clinton’s / Obama’s If you want to see where all the BLM donation money goes – FOLLOW THE MONEY – go to the BLM website , then Act Blue who collects donations. Then go look at where those donations go. ALL DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PARTIES CAMPAIGNS.”

Freedom Rally World / Hugs Over Masks

Desjarlais is a member of the Tax Revolt Planning Commission, along with anti maskers Ryan Kulbaba, Marius Malciu, Tara Reeve, Danna Bresciani, Harm Bomm, Holly Beune, Monika Podolski and Mark Friesen. The Commission plans to use the tax revolt “as a carrot or bargaining chip with the Municipalities in an effort where the incentive of the people is to see a significant reduction in property and other taxes and the carrot for the municipality is to fight for the people and against an unjust set of forced measures from higher levels of Government, and in exchange to have the people agree to an adjusted and reduced level of taxes instead of no taxes at all. The idea is to drive a wedge between different levels of the government and have one side battle with the other and on behalf of the people, with regard to freedom, rights and against arbitrary lockdowns and absurd medical restrictions on healthy people.”

A Celebration of Freedoms and Rights

“We have a group of people up in Canada, Alberta-based, called Unify The People, and what they’re doing, this is headed by a guy named Dallas. He’s got about roughly, he’s got about 250,000 people on board and what they’re about is creating a bunch of sovereign people, sovereign nation, draft a new constitution for Canada. He goes around speaking to a lot of different cities. If you go to UnifyThePeople.ca they’ve got a big long web site, lots of information on their movement up here about creating a sovereign nation. I’m going to get into more promoting them after this [July 2020] march…. “

Action4Canada

Action4Canada is a small ultra-right Christian fundamentalist group with a hard-line Biblical agenda. One of their primary campaigns at present is threatening businesses with $35,000 lawsuits for implementing anti-Covid measures.

This all stems from their conviction that anti-Covid measures are designed to turn Canada into a Communist country.

Action4Canada is anti-choice, Islamophobic and anti-LGBTQ. It also opposes the UN, 5G, cannabis legalization, gun control, the carbon tax, Covid-19 economic stimulus spending and allowing refugees into Canada (except Christian refugees, they’re OK with that). They also demand an apology from Rogers Sportsnet for being mean to Don Cherry.
