Since Zelda went into hiding over violent protests that terrorized hospitals & Liberal campaign stops, participants scurried to find new places to organize & a 🇨🇦 companion to Parler has emerged

This #thread is RE partisan #violence & how it's paid for

2/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

There's been much ado trying to insulate Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole from the vulgar & violent uprising surrounding right-wing causes during the election

But on #Aug23 the CPC posted propaganda that specifically invoked violence as a motto

3/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

The full Conservative ad shows a boxer punching forward & that was uncivilized enough

For those who use dark theme, xray, or colour inversion display (for style or visual disability), the violence was quite amplified

4/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Within one minute of the violent Conservative Party post, partisans responded with a photo of the Liberal prime minister getting punched in the mouth, suggesting the campaign should use it

5/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Elxn44

On #Aug27 (four days after the Conservative ad appeared), #violence erupted in #Bolton, Ontario & shutdown Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's campaign stop

I discovered that spectacle was partly organized by court staff & CPC

6/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

I spoke with a family that attended the (subsequently cancelled) #Bolton rally

"Child abuse" was screamed at the mother & baby, because the toddler was wearing a #COVID19 mask (too young to vax)

Fists were pumping as spit sprayed everywhere

On the same day CPC Leader Erin O'Toole took a question from Andrew Lawton & True North

True North is a far-right charity that supports Trump

And Lawton is infamous

8/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

In the placebo interview with his far-right fans, Erin O'Toole proceeded to sow #disinformation that could genuinely cause the #2Michaels to face a #DeathPenalty in #China

This is what Conservative-backed media has done:

9/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

There's a severe crisis in #CDNmedia that is preventing the Fourth Estate from fulfilling its democratic purpose

Media operatives

Conflict of interest

Conflicts con't

10/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Instead of ethically managing these conflicts of interest, voters have been punished for complaining about partisan meddling
►archive.is/tC9cy

And they've found no recourse, as partisans steer social media too

11/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

At the same time 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 right-wing interests have purchased 95% of #CDNmedia, O'Toole is campaigning to end #CBC & placing its journos under duress during the writ to muddy the prospect of independence & accountability

12/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

As a result of widespread partisan meddling in #CDNmedia, organizers of these violent #HateClub events are being dubiously protected by a captured industry that has resorted to endangering fellow journos who speak out

13/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Making matters worse, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole attacked a female journo at #CBC directly, a female candidate of Muslim heritage, & women of colour, culminating in a threat to "hang" those of Liberal persuasion

14/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Is it any wonder the #HateClub militia would attend Liberal events with placards depicting the prime minister being marched to a fatal noose? Or why racism is out of control?

These are death fantasies CPC is peddling

15/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

When political leaders adopt a violent message it spills into communities beyond the electoral bubble

Now women of colour are assaulted for going shopping, police refuse to help & give bad advice to protect assailant

16/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Elxn44

By #Aug29 the Facebook #HateClub scattered, in search of another place to plot against PMJT's security & organize Covid-denying protests in the name of 'freedom' to threaten docs, nurses, patients, media, & politicians

►archive.is/i5zMF

17/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

That's when Norbert Orlewicz popped out of the woodwork to attack another female journo (16/24) & draw attention to his #Librti website as a Canadian companion to the American-insurrectionist-Parler

(Twitter profile)
►archive.is/P1xgS

18/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

The #Librti far-right community is fond of Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre & Conservative journo Brian Lilley (who's in another political-media conflict of interest with partisan staff)

They also slander Liberal Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland

19/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Within the #Librti community, members recruit active law enforcement to their anti-Liberal cause across the entire country, to help save violent protesters from becoming arrested by encouraging police/military to commit insubordination/treason

20/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

By #Sept1 Zelda's Facebook #HateClub, Norbert's #Librti grp, & defiant Twitter nurses plotted the countrywide mayhem

21/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

So how does one cover the cost of terrorizing mothers, children, people of colour, doctors, nurses, patients, EMS, senior citizens, reluctant media, & Liberal politicians... in the name of 'freedom'?

At #Librti, they sell swag

22/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

But it wouldn't be a true Canadian film noire w/o Ezra Levant's far-right Rebel Media (that cheers Trump & neo-Nazis in Charlottesville) getting in on the action

On #Sept1 they dubbed the chaos #ElectConservatives™

►archive.is/xfs1j

23/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

And wouldn't you know that Rebel Media's #ElectConservatives™ sells swag to fund its partisan endeavours too

Family values: intimidation

Finally, it invites the question if election campaigns could launder donations through these storefronts

If #CBC has recourse for the theft of its logo

Or if these slogans are appropriate for newborns & toddlers
