TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

“There’s an undeniable element of juvenile humor to the movement, echoing the actions of leftist trolls in the United States who infiltrated Stop the Steal groups last year, rebranding them to “Gay Socialists for Trump.” Yet it has had the effect of disrupting the trucker convoy supporters’ communications (Noelle says three Ottawa convoy channels have been shut down on Zello as a result of Ram Ranch organizers), as well as collecting valuable information on some of their organizing efforts.

Katarina, for instance, used the #RamRanchResistance hashtag to spread the word that anti-vaccine and anti-mask mandate protesters were planning on gathering outside a school in Windsor, Canada, to organize a walkout. And Gennie has been tracking the French-language arm of the convoy to document the shifting tone of the protests. “At first I found it funny to cover what was happening [on these channels],” says Gennie. “But the more I started listening, the more I started hearing people using homophobic language, using racist terms. As time went on, you could see the protesters showing their true colors.”

She has identified many protesters with links to the far-right and white nationalist movements within Canada, as well as individual business owners in the Quebec area who are funneling money into the convoy. She has also observed the language within the chats getting more aggressively militaristic, phrasing that has shades of the internal discourse leading up to the events of Jan. 6, 2021 within the U.S. “There’s a lot of, ‘We are soldiers, we need to hold the line,‘” she says. “I wanted to document it. Because you never know where these things will end up.”

First and foremost, however, Noelle says, the goal of the #RamRanchResistance is simply “to annoy the truckers. And then for them to go home and leave the people of Ottawa alone.””

Community Fridges (”Freedges”)

One of many mutual aid tactics that’s blown up during the pandemic, a freedge is simply a refrigerator set up in a public space to be filled and utilized by the community, typically cared for by a group of volunteers who clean, stock, and check up on the freedge every so often

freedge.org has a map of existing freedges (shown above), guides to start your own, and even gives microgrants to people who want to set up a freedge in their area

If you have excess produce from your garden, space in your front yard, or even an old working fridge you’re trying to get rid of, look for a freedge organization in your community - or start your own!
