Conservatives have found a way around Media ad restrictions and regulations.

Robotext, email and political apps.
Robotext was used in the 2016 US Presidential election. Data was supplied by 20,000 pastors regarding their parishioners in 11 key states. Individuals were then analyzed & put in 3 categories of voters. Never Trump, Trump enthusiasts & undecided voters.
Robotext & multiple other mediums (including phone calls, mail, email, SM), were then targeted to undecided voters. These voters were sent a deluge of relentless and pervasive micro targeted propaganda, disinformation, & pleas to support Trump, based on moral & religious belief.
A video of Calgary pastor, Craig Buroker, from the Southside Victory Church in Calgary, Alberta, can be viewed here, with analysis provided by @visionsurreal who tried to determine who was behind this.

Watch the videos.

Review of other videos on the church’s website also reveals there are definitely plans to use this technology for Canadian elections. Provincially and especially the 2019 Federal election. @profagagne
@VickerySec, is a respected data researcher. He’s testified to Canadian Parliamentary committed about data breaches & psychological manipulation.

In a twitter response to the Buroker video revealing US use of this method, he postulated this:

Additionally, here is an article detailing Chris Vickery’s research into the organization United in Purpose. A Far Right Christian organization involved in US politics.

There is strong indication Ford & Kenney both used these methods to win their elections. It isn’t the only tool in the Con arsenal, but it’s a very effective & dangerous weapon.

It’s conjecture, but I suspect it’s also how provincial elections turned so many provinces blue.
Wilberforce and RightNow! both boasted on line how their campaigns delivered Ford & Kenney to electoral wins. Both are Far Right Christian orgs, & we know from Buroker video this strategy was run in US Christian churches & the plan was to use this strategy in Canadian elections.
But Canada is not the same as US. Canadians are further left on the political spectrum, & more humanist than traditional. Evangelical Christian community exists in Canada, but only 30% vs US 50%.

Meaning, church data mining isn’t enough to swing a Canadian Federal election.
Data harvesting & micro targeting may work in provinces like AB, SK & ON, where there is a growing Dominionist Christian population, but it won’t work nationally. Or will it?

What have Conservatives been doing the last couple months? Moving to robotext, email & app based ads.
How many unsuspecting subscribers have had their data harvested? CPC targets the already convinced voter for fundraising, and identifies the fence sitters? Is that what the fundraising efforts from “grassroots” is designed to do? Categorize into secured & maybe voters?
Every issue Cons amplify is accompanied by a fundraising request. Two requests in past weeks have come under criticism for being blatantly opportunistic. A Calgary octogenarian who’s 52 year old son is unable to secure employment & shameless use of Canadians jailed in China.
But everywhere you look, CPC has their hand out asking for donations for every issue imaginable. Many contrived, misrepresentations, & some outright lies. Most centred around issues that tug at the heart strings of various groups of centrist and moderate conservatives.
Examples include:
Western Canada alienation
Foreign relations
Feminism
Adherence to Law
Reconciliation
Climate change
On reserve water crises
Religious Freedom
Rising cost of living (Housing purchase, poverty levels)
Abortion
Electoral reform
Tax levels
Deficits & Debt
These are all issues that Canadian voters are looking for policy platforms to inform their vote. All of them attributed as LPC failures by CPC, GPC & NDP in one way or another. All 3 opposition parties using emotions to hook voters, then claiming moral & ethical superiority.
If you look at recent @visionsurreal thread, a Romanian organization Majoritas is implicated in US election interference.

But look what’s found on their website. This:

The integrity/morality focus of all 3 parties comes into focus.
Accompanied by this detailed explanation about how they are “doing politics differently.”

majoritas.com/is-there-a-pla…

Interesting concept. Seems all 3 opposition parties are doing politics “differently.”
This is Cambridge Analytica level psychological manipulation. Pandering to emotions to sway votes.

A sophisticated micro targeting strategy, that uses Marketing strategies called “funnelling” to literally change voters minds about political parties & moral authority to govern.
Here’s an article describing the political funnel and how it can be used to sway votes. Or suppress votes through apathy & disillusionment.

It could very well deliver the Cons an electoral victory. As well as increase the electoral support for NDP & GPC.
Many have noticed a sharp decline in Con traffic on twitter. They’ve moved the narrative to Facebook & Linked In. These sites allow third party advertisers.

Voters can also be forwarded to the proliferation of fake news sites. Propaganda machines.
Funded by Canadian 1% or even foreign third parties. But technically legal because they are “news” outlets. However, forwarding voters to websites with political information becomes a problem when the writ is dropped. Thus, the huge decline in Twitter traffic.
Canadian public is being inundated with far left and far right propaganda to divide progressives. Splitting the vote.

Had a conversation today with a GPC member. He likened world war as a better alternative to Liberal climate plans.
Propaganda is at an all time high right now. The low information voter is being bombarded with left and right lies, disinformation and smears. SNC scandal has reared it’s ugly head once again.

CPC intends to win, and has recruited NDP and GPC to assist them to do it.
