Far-Right Convoy Groups Plan to Occupy Canadian Police Stations Until Government Officials are Arrested

Members of far-right convoy groups are holding private meetings where they are developing an ambitious and unorthodox plan to occupy police stations in cities across Canada in order to pressure police into arresting government officials.

The “Team Lead” for the plan is Dana Metcalfe, an organizer of the original Freedom Convoy who is currently facing criminal harassment charges after staging a “surprise convoy” to the home of the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador.

On a Zoom call Monday night, Metcalfe was joined by over 100 others, including several leaders of the “Save the Children Convoy,” a group influenced by sovereign citizen and QAnon rhetoric that also planned arrests of politicians and police officers and has since established a rural basecamp near Ottawa.

Others were linked to a conspiratorial pseudolegal group called Stand4Thee, a group that is campaigning to have Justin Trudeau arrested for “treason.”

During the Zoom call, Metcalfe unveiled a new “project” called “One Million Charges for the People” that involves a plan to occupy police stations and refuse to leave until police do what they say.
