Somehow, it’s doubtful the orders to exclude me from Conservative rallies come straight from the top— frankly, I am not that important.

It probably has to do with my comics, and not the one(s) you might assume.

I believe Ivana Yelich and Brian Lilley may be the starting point. Image
I was not the only one turned away from Doug Ford’s campaign kickoff in May 2022.

Press secretary Ivana Yelich directed Zach to remove David Menzies and the Hat; she was the decision-maker.

Menzies flags the apparent conflict of interest between her and reporter Brian Lilley.
I started producing comics about Ivana Yelich and Brian Lilley in April 2021.

In my view, this relationship is a matter of public interest to the extent the conflict was not disclosed and Lilley heavily relies on unnamed sources to break & soften news about provincial politics. Image

A thread…

This video has been making the rounds on Twitter.

This is @MichaelFordTO - Minister of Multiculturalism and nephew of @fordnation…highlighting the 900 people of Indian heritage that currently live in Ontario.

900. Nine. Zero. Zero.
In Ontario.

A quick google search indicates over 750,000 people of Indian heritage in the province. It took about 30 secs to find that info.

One would think the Minister of Multiculturalism would have access to the same info I have.

All jokes aside…this is emblematic of the @fordnation govt in so many ways.

We see a minister who is woefully unqualified put in a position simply because of who he’s related to…ineptitude rewarded by nepotism…classic Doug Ford.

Yet this is just the veneer.
