This is Rob McKee who just spoke in front of #ottcity council.
For those who don't know Rob, he is the leader of the far-right, anti-trans Bikers Church in Ottawa.
In the clip, he openly says that @OttawaPolice INVITED him to join anti-trans protests...wtf...

🚨🚨Alert Ottawa!🚨🚨
Violent Diagolon extremist Nick Smith says that he is currently in Ottawa.
For the second time in a year he removed his ankle monitor in order to evade the police.

Our shelter system is overwhelmed, and the city is looking at a sprung structure to address this crisis.
Fear-mongering opposition from local MPPs and councillors has been unproductive and quite frankly, problematic.

The first time I was accused of being "Antifa", I had to ask my daughter what it meant.
She said it meant anti-fascist.
Well hell ya.
I come from a long line of anti-fascists.
My uncles kicked serious Nazi ass.
As if we are going to give up the streets today.
No pasaran.

I saw the "million man march" crew at Parliament.
They were off by about five zeros.
And the ones who were there got totally freaked out by the queer and trans youth who showed up.
As always, when confronted bullies turn to snowflakes.

Politicians should be paying attention to what happened yesterday. Despite the rage baiting, despite the misinformation, despite how easy it is to fear difference, bigotry was easily outnumbered across Canada. Even in the western provinces. Transphobia is not gaining traction. It's losing. Betting your electoral fortunes on using it as a tool? Maybe look around, give your head a shake, and realize that's the losing strategy. #nospaceforhate

CUPE Ontario President, Fred Hahn, and members of our Pink Triangle Committee joined counter protesters in Toronto today in standing up to right wing activists who organized to protest teaching 2SLGBTQIA+ content in schools under the guise of protecting children. They continue to target those that are most vulnerable in our communities and schools. 🚫‼️
Unions will always fight for a fairer, just, and more equitable future for all – including our children. ✊🏾📢🏳️🌈

All week the race haters stood outside parliament threatening people and insulting Indigenous legislators.
They had a free ride from @OttawaPolice.
Then @theJagmeetSingh stood up to them.
And today young queer and trans kids put the run on them.
No pasaran.
Happy September 20.

I joined a youth led march against the hate and conspiracy mob outside Parliament.
Some young Gen Z asked me to help carry one of their banners.
It was an honour.
Hate has no place in our communities.

1/ The 1 Million March 4 Children takes place around Canada tomorrow, September 20. Last year, far-right organizing against 2SLGBTQ+ rights, SOGI & schools felt almost hysterical. This year is decidedly quiet. They haven't abandoned the cause, but the 1MM4C brand hasn't help up.

Ottawa residents were fed up when the 2022 truckers’ protest shut down large parts of the city. Citizens took matters into their own hands, blocking a key intersection in an event that became known as “The Battle of Billings Bridge.”

You know why queer adults actually care so much about the well-being and safety of queer and trans kids? Because we were kids once ourselves, and we know how hard it can be and have lost friends who didn’t survive long enough to be here in adulthood with us.

OPSEU/SEFPO's Rainbow Alliance Arc-en-Ciel affirms solidarity with @FierteCapPride, facing cowardly & undeserved backlash for expressing principled solidarity with Palestine. We'll be seeing you at Capital Pride in Ottawa this weekend!

My dear friend Masha Davidović spoke at the Trans March in Ottawa yesterday and I urge you to please listen to her words. “We know injustice when we see it”.
Let the so-called allies show their true colours as they pull their conditional support for Pride to continue supporting genocide. As Masha puts it, “We have stood on the right side of history for decades, and we are doing the same thing this year”. Pride is in solidarity with Palestine.
May we all continue in the struggle for queer rights, women’s rights, and trans rights. Collective liberation for all. Our liberation is incomplete without the liberation of Palestine. Onwards towards collective liberation for all.
