@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley For people who believe this conspiracy theory, I have affordable ocean-front property to sell you in Regina Saskatchewan.

This is not Krause's 1st conspiracy rodeo - just ask First Nations in BC what they think of her nonsense.

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Pointed questions in this thread that conspiracy theorist Vivian Krause cannot answer because she doesn't believe in freedom of expression:

"Why shouldn’t environmental groups be able to advocate?"

👇THREAD: 👇#cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg
@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Approx $60 Mill of the $90M that allegedly funded the anti-tarsands campaign, went to the Great Bear Rainforest, not in opposing AB oilsands. Harper pitched in $30 Mill together with Tides.

The same U.S. groups that help fund Enviro groups here also gave to the Harper Government
@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST: Canada's gift to the world "A 10-part Special Report begins next week on achieving the impossible."

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Proving that philanthropy & protest is without borders, even Germany got involved in the Great Bear Rainforest and it really was an international effort where money & support flowed into Canadian environmental groups from all over the world.

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Krause cherry-picks her data. Dark Money - hundreds of Millions of $s - flow north to stump for right-wing causes & to elect Conservative governments, yet Krause fails to report this. Why?

Is Krause a Conservative shill?

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Here's another thread on how Dark Money funds Conservative sites and influences politics

Conservatives have a history of voting against the best interests of women. What did you expect? Let's take a walk down memory lane shall we:

Stephen Harper's War On Women
1/ #cdnpoli
nowtoronto.com/news/stephen-h…
"Ladies, maybe he just isn't that into you"

"Harper just can’t really be bothered to address gender inequality. “According to a report issued by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives last fall, Canada lacks the political will to achieve equality between men and women.”
2/
"They voted against a national action plan to end violence against women, despite the fact that on average, every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner. "They closed 75% of Status of Women offices."

Fantastic thread: the article on #SNC & Jody Wilson Raybould was apparently translated from a French a La Presse article written by L. Gagnon.

Would appreciate anyone who speaks french to forward me the French article.

1/ #cdnmedia you've just been massively shamed!! #cdnpoli
"After all these testimonies, including those particularly informative, Gerald Butts and the Deputy Minister of Justice, Nathalie Drouin, we understand a little better what happened in the pseudo-scandal that disrupts the politico-media class from English Canada.

2/
Certainly, nothing in this affair required Prime Minister Trudeau to do his act of contrition, as claimed by the most enthusiastic commentators of the English-language media.

Feeling nostalgic over Harper's constant war against the Charter of Rights & Freedoms? Let's take a trip down memory lane....

1/ #cdnpoli lietracker.ca/2019/02/03/cha…
Nostalgic about Harper's constant attacks on Science & Data and want to replace it with much of the same with #Scheermongering?

2/
lietracker.ca/2019/02/06/con…
Or perhaps nostalgic about Harper's War on Democracy and Science?

The NYTimes has turned to mush. It's become little more than a front for progressive ideology rather than the neutral paper of record we remember.

Nellie Bowles latest smear piece on the "manosphere" is a perfect example.

The article is complete garbage.

Lemme explain.

Thread
Ok first. Here is the article in question. I hate giving them clicks, but you have to read it to understand what I'm about to explain.

Please note the lack of sources. Lots of "they say" and "some people"

nytimes.com/2019/03/18/tec…
It is clear from the jump that the entire point of this article is to associate the NZ murderer, a minority of one, with bigger groups, and ultimately with the idea of masculinity.

She uses word smash and guilt by association to tie NZ to alt-right to anyone who opposes feminism

Should not have to point out why its irresponsible to traffic in conspiracy theories, but there seems to be some confusion about this, so here we go. 1/
To treat every possibility as equally worthy of attention is to present them as equally plausible realities. They are not, and doing so legitimates a worldview where the conspiratorial outcome is used by motivated reasoners to defend actions they cannot otherwise defend. 2/
In a rational political world, people who trafficked in lies would face some sort of penalty, and citizens would update their beliefs once conspiracies were debunked. That is not the world we live in. 3/

Can someone explain to me when the @GOP stopped ignoring fiscal responsibility?
Can someone explain to me why @GOP claimed to be the party of Moral Values but continues to support a person like @realDonaldTrump?

#values
Can you explain to me why you wouldn't want another party in power for the Senate or House when you believe in the Constitution and checks and balances?

1. So what is the story behind the attempt by a BO administration official to get Argentina to sell Uranium to Iran under the table? Seems like a bunch of stinky BO BS to me.
americanlibertyreport.com/articles/presi…
2. The former President of Argentina told the members of the UN General Ass. that she was approached by Gary Samore, BO's Coordinator of Arms control and WMDs, to get her country to sell Iran enriched Nuclear fuel. Iran was under UN sanctions at the time prohibiting such deals.
3. According to the Argentine Pres., BO's guy Samore claimed it was all going to be a sting to frame Iran with their hands on the ill gotten goods so to speak, in order to justify a war with the nation. @ThomasWictor @drawandstrike @_VachelLindsay_

Conspiracy theories are dangerous for many reasons. Among other things, they provide a way to reduce mental distress by changing our perception of a problem without actually doing anything to solve the problem. They're the mental equivalent of a pacifier.
1/
Spreading conspiracy theories about Trump using hidden codes to signal that he's closing in on a secret plan to break up child trafficking rings isn't just absurd — it's harmful. It lulls people into complacency & lets them feel like they're helping when they're doing nothing.
2/
Conspiracy theories also lead to a dangerous cycle of scapegoating because the regressive logic of conspiratorial thinking can only be maintained by implicating an ever-expanding group of "conspirators" involved in the conspiracy and/or the "cover-up".

Worth pointing out the difference from other forms of racism is that antisemitism is a conspiracy theory assigning uniquely mendacious powers to Jews, Jewish groups, or Israel.
What I’ve noticed in Britain is a struggle to conceptualise of racism beyond colour or origins based repugnance, fear of sense of superiority.
This failure means that people can believe in conspiracy theories centred on an ethnic group whilst thinking they are not racist because they don’t have anything against people of that group per se.
