The third leader of the far-right Canadian trucker thug blockaders was arrested yesterday in Ottawa as he recorded the arrest on his Facebook account. Pat King was arrested on charges of "counselling to commit the offence of mischief, counselling to obstruct police and counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order." After asking what he was being arrested for, he said he wanted to call his lawyer, like any good lawless thug. His co-conspirators Chris Barber and Tamara Lich were arrested Thursday.
And as we noted yesterday, King is a white supremacist. Report him as such!

There's more than a healthy amount of white supremacy / white grievance among these far-right, Trump-loving truckers, who are a very small minority of Canada's trucker community. In that, they're united with their limited cohort in the U.S., who appear to be planning actions in early March to disrupt the nation's capital and other American cities with blockades. Law enforcement needs to be aware and proactive in addressing any illegal actions on their part.
