A 🧵Stephen Harper in the PMO 2006-2015
In 2005, Stephen Harper did a fundraiser for the
CASJAFVA, a radical group that promoted hate against the gay community.
In Harper's speech to the CASJAFVA, he outlined plans for a broad new party coalition that would ensure a lasting hold on power.
"Movement towards the end goal must be incremental," Harper said, "so the public won't be spooked. Regime change, one step at a time."
March 2005, the Plymouth Brethren wrote to President George W. Bush and asked him to influence Prime Minister Martin to not let the Gay Marriage Act (Bill C-38) pass. PM Martin passed the bill on June 28, 2005.
2006 - Harper wins a minority government. He took the oath on a Plymouth Brethren bible, essentially confirming his loyalty to them.
Harper announced a motion to restore the traditional definition of marriage. The motion was defeated by a vote of 123 to 175. Harper then stated the matter was now closed, and would not be revisited even if he got a majority government in the next election.
In 2006 he removed the Court Challenges Program, which had funded legal actions by gays and rights activists, and the Law Commission of Canada, a respected federal law reform agency.
At the same time, the Conservatives took aim at Status of Women Canada, closing regional offices and barring the federal organization from funding women’s groups involved in advocacy and research.
Postmedia started buying up Canadian news sources in 2010. Harper allowed this in spite of a poll that showed the majority of Canadians were opposed to allowing foreign control of our media.
Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey ordered all the major newspapers in his chain to support Harper’s Conservative Party. Since then Canadians have been subject to Postmedia's supportive campaign of circulating disinformation/misinformation.
Working for Reform Party Youth in 1997, Kory Teneycke demonstrated a gift for creating controversy and harnessing that controversy for political, commercial, or ideological ends. Below is his history.
Spin masters, Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley worked with Kory Teneycke at Sun News. The format of the show was based on Fox News.
In 2013, MP Brian Storset, put through a bill to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Section 13 offered Canadians some form of protection against acts of hate.
The Campaign Life Coalition (an anti-abortion group) was very pleased with MP Brian Storseth. Note the quip about gay activists in the profile provided.
White Supremacists were really happy with the removal of Section 13. Bill C-304 relieves the commission of the power to shut down hate-mongering websites.
After the failure of Sun News, Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley launched Rebel News. Media that caters to extreme groups of people, including gangs.
Rebel Media is a source that triggers negative reactions...anger/rage/fear/hate. Very similar style to Fox New's hosts, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.
