You’ve probably seen photos of the Prime Minister yelling back at a protester during a 🇺🇦 war vigil in Toronto.
I spent many weekends documenting Derick at rallies.

Derick has posed with Pierre Poilievre, Maxime Bernier, and Christine Andersen.
He recently promoted a rally with Chris Sky, only to be shoved off “stage” by King Nico before getting to intro the “keynote.”
He seeks clout in a social media-driven world, but he is not a Nazi.

I have said throughout that many people who joined the protest circuit are misfits seeking community.
Derick’s song choice says it all:
I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority

I gave attention to community voices targeted and held hostage by demonstrators with ulterior motives, including via interviews with the drag storytime performer, library CEO, and mayor.
Thanks for the feedback, but other people do not get to decide what I cover.

Betty Baker spoke about her personal journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of kindness and compassion:
Jennifer Jones explained how drag storytime fits into the library’s mandate, and explained how dialogue rooted in curiosity can be constructive:
Antifaux counter protester Gisela McKay assaulted my cameraman with a swift knee to the groin.

This incident is the real life manifestation of specific acts of violence that Gisela McKay has previously mused about inflicting.
I am the housing lawyer referred to in the attached screenshot.
Very alarming.

To reiterate, I see no equivalency between fascism and antifascism.
My reference to bad actors on “both sides” is specific to individuals who cloak themselves in progressive language while setting back the causes they purport to champion.
Fake, harmful wannabe activists.

Another view of what went down when QAnon followers attempted to arrest @PtboPolice yesterday #FAFO #Peterborough
Make sure you watch this one too 👇
Moments earlier, this same screaming woman attempted to strike a @PtboPolice officer arresting Frank Curtain, and was held back by the plain clothes officer in a purple shirt.
Apparently if an older white woman screams loud enough, they won’t be arrested. 🤷♀️

#onpoli #VoteFordOut here are key ridings where you can make a difference by voting strategically to prevent the Doug Ford Conservatives from forming government.
Ajax riding, the strategic vote is Ontario Liberal. Otherwise Ford may win this seat. Don't be fooled by his candidate that was on the school board, they have no interest in public education. NONE.
#Brampton East a riding that could MOVE to Doug Ford's PC's if the voters don't support the NDP in this riding.
I'm concerned the discussion now in pandemic, & the 6th wave we are into in #Peterborough & #Ontario is just focused on preventing hospitalizations & death. Maintaining hospital capacity & preventing severe disease are important, but even 'mild' illness impacts are concerning.
As the number of people infected increases, the number of people impacted by the effects of Long COVID is growing. This is a complex multisystem disease we are still learning the extent of...
We've known for some time that COVID-19 was as much a vascular disease as respiratory disease. This recent @bmj_latest Swedish studies quantifies 5X DVT, 33X Pulmonary Embolism

Since "at 22" is trending and I coincidentally changed my profile picture to this on facebook yesterday, here I am at 22 back in 1984 and in my final year at university. 1/14
Earlier in the year I'd dyed my hair pink and yellow as a rag week stunt, and then all pink so as it wasn't quite so crazy. In a way, dying my hair like this may have helped determine the course of my whole subsequent life. 2/14
A few weeks later, with the hair dye still very much showing, I landed a job at a small software company based in a farmhouse near #Peterborough. I turned down an interview for a job with a big company, Ferranti, because I'd become aware of its links to the defence industry. 3/14
As #SpyCops officer Andy Coles has just been mentioned at the #SpyCopsInquiry, here's a quick overview of who he is. He was a Special Demonstration Squad officer in 1990s, using the name 'Andy Davey', infiltrating peace & animal rights campaigns. Here he is undercover in 1991
Whilst undercover, Coles was a renowned sex pest. As well as harassing women he spied on, he groomed a vulnerable teenager, known as Jessica @Jessica_me2, into a year-long relationship. He was her first serious partner.
Jessica @Jessica_me2 thought Andy Coles was 24 & a single activist, whereas he was a 34 year old married #SpyCops officer. Here he is (2nd from left) on a march to the US airbase at Fairford, Gloucestershire, on 16 March 1991
5 mins till today's #spycopsinquiry hearings begin - first up today, at 10:00am, is Phillippa Kaufmann QC.
She's speaking on behalf of 21 of the women who were deceived into relationships by #spycops officers

Mitting: has asked people not to name 'Carlo Neri' in their opening statements - on pain of not having their contribution live-streamed today
Phillippa is now asking for clarification about this. She will not be using Carlo's real name...
1/25 THREAD Going to try to explain the extraordinary 14th-cent. painted chamber in Longthorpe Tower nr #Peterborough. I must be mad! Many, more qualified people have gone before me & interpretations abound. But here goes. My take on this mind-blowing space.
2/25 PART 1 Context. The existing house at Longthorpe dates to the 1260s. It was home to the Thorpe family. The 3-storey tower was added in the 1290s by Robert Thorpe, lawyer, for 2 periods steward of Peterborough Abbey, who served the royal household & was knighted in the 1320s.
3/25 The wall paintings adorn all 4 walls & ceiling of the 1st-floor tower chamber. It measures c. 5x5m. The unusual off-centre location of the windows, offering large unbroken wall space, has been interpreted as evidence that the space was intended to be painted from the outset.
Our railways are full yet demand for services keeps rising. We need extra capacity. Here’s how #HS2 creates extra capacity where it is most needed, creating opportunity across the country.
1/16

HS2 Phase 1 is the UK's only shovel-ready new line. Backed by 10 years of design & development, parliamentary scrutiny, and consultation to get here. No other projects are within 5 years of where it is. Upgrade of existing lines is ‘absurd’ say experts.

More people are travelling by train. West Midlands rail use rose 121% in 10 years. Manchester's 26%. There are 10 million more WCML passengers than a decade ago. Yet, no railway has been built north of London in over 100 years.

A vote for the #Tories in this election is a surrender vote, a vote to stay under #EU control. #Johnson’s insistence on pushing his #FakeBrexit shows he has no intention of delivering independence. He won’t even try. The #BrexitParty is the only vote if we want #Brexit delivered.
#Johnson has broken trust with the people. He could have been a national hero, but has stayed loyal to his own tribe. He’s hoping we’re so worn out by 3 years of lies and obstruction we’ll settle for anything. His #FakeBrexit is an establishment trap to keep us under #EU control.
#BorisJohnson has a large majority in the palm of his hand if he makes a ‘no deal’ pact with #Farage and the #BrexitParty, but he refuses to do it because, like most #Tories, he doesn’t want the #UK to be independent.
