Notes from the Resistance...
So, they’re admitting on CNN that an armed citizenry is “necessary to the security of a free State”? And that anything that prevents that works in the favor of a nation’s enemies, that is, by any definition of the word, an act of treason? [More]

The original text stipulated that it would be a crime to do so within 15 feet, but Rep. John Kavanagh (R–D23), the bill’s sponsor, altered the radius in an amendment meant to assuage constitutional objections. [More]
Since "it’s already a crime to interfere with police in the lawful performance of their duty," it sounds more like somebody is trying to build his "staunch law and order" creds for political reasons than anything else.

None of these corporate sponsors seemed as interested in tracking the millions given to BLM as they did publicizing their donations. Indeed, when some began to raise questions about Cullors buying luxury homes, Facebook and Twitter censored them. BLM itself denounced such critics as “white supremacists” for questioning how these millions were being spent. [More]
They sold the rope. Let them hang from it.

And if that strategy "entails increasing numbers of car and pedestrian stops," he warns, it "has the potential to be counterproductive by alienating the very communities that it is designed to help." [More]

The scene at Kingman was overwhelming. They were lined up on the sides of the road at the destination for at least a half mile in both directions and as many parked in fields along the road before any of the convoy arrived and when they did, it was jubilant! [More]

You'll note the link goes to the Internet Archive, as the "live" story link goes to a "Forbidden access" page. So does a search for "VancouverTimes.org."
So what's going on?
A search for "Vancouver Times" on Google produces nothing. It shows up on DuckDuckGo, but clicking the link gets another "Forbidden" result.
Scam Detector gives the site a 58.5 out of 100 rating.
There is a "The Vancouver Times" Facebook page, but it gives the link as TheVancouverTimes.NET, and clicking on it results in a "This site can’t be reached" message. Reloading doesn't change that.
Going back to the original VancouverTimes.org link and checking it out on WhoIs shows a .ua domain, which is the country code for Ukraine, and shows it coming from Kyiv.
A "News" search shows no one else reporting on this.
Unless someone can come up with some evidence to the contrary, this appears to be suspect "news," in this case from a foreign source with strong incentives to stir up disinformation and anger in the West. If so, that's beyond irresponsible, it's evil, as people kneejerk believing it and not checking further to find the truth of the matter, particularly those of the "low-hanging fruit" variety, could be provoked into the type of violence that could discredit the Canadian trucker convoy and the U.S. version, already suspected in some corners to be loaded with provocateurs. That, in turn, could result in a retaliatory crackdown and discrediting of the entire effort.
Bottom line: Beware of believing this without evidence. After all, we're supposed to be "the side" that believes in that and in due process. Would you expect any less from a juror evaluating your guilt or innocence? If you see anyone spreading this story, send them the link to this post and challenge them to account for all these discrepancies.
And if it eventually turns out the whole thing is true in spite of this, that means there's a whole 'nother and terrifying dynamic going on.
