Who’s bankrolling the yahoos organizing this #spreadneck parade? Who’s paying to print their protest signs?

#ableg #ycc #MaskUp
.@robbpettit noticed someone walking past the camera at about 0:10 who appears to be John Carpay.

Maybe Carpay knows who’s helping to finance this operation?

If Carpay’s “Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms” (JCCF) is in fact helping to fund this #spreadneck parade, then it makes sense to look at who funds them....

To each of you who signed the petition, all 4,147 of you, I want to extend my thanks and my gratitude. /
We have received an answer from the government. It's not at all close to what we requested in our petition. /
The government has responded by giving us information on all the assistance they have offered to Canadian digital media, $500 million in emergency support funding for heritage, cultural and sport organizations. /

If you think what happened in the US tonight could not happen here, read this thread.

Listen to the words in the speech given tonight.



And take note, he mentions the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.

What does this suggest to you?
The reason he was allowed to arrive at this point is due, in no small part, to the media in the US.

I've pretty much finished my research for the petition. It's become pretty clear to me over the weeks that the problem with our Canadian media is not foreign ownership as such, but *concentration* of ownership.
#mediapetition
I've gathered together for this thread articles relating to the huge problem of concentration in Canada. Please take a look at them, and let me know if you feel this is the better way to go.
#mediapetition
I've consulted with someone who has not only expertise in petitions, but who agrees that concentration, not foreign ownership, is the problem.

#cdnpoli #cdnmedia #WhereAreOurJournalists
The first thing a conqueror does is take control of the means of mass communication. In modern times, this means mainstream media. The American right bought our broadcasters & newspapers. Harper loaded the CBC w/ supporters. Even out of power, the right controls the message. 2/
