Here's the supporting docs to my podcast interview with @canadianglen

The ORIGINAL exposé by Mercedes Stephenson on Global News concealed Conservative Party as source of the racist video depicting PMJT

That disingenuous story by Mercedes Stephenson was followed up by David Akin, also from Global News

That same afternoon, he told PMJT to step aside & quit the election so someone else could take over LPC

Global News then dramatically edited its original story by Mercedes Stephenson, to finally admit they received the PMJT video from Conservative Party

But they concealed that significant edit too #Ethics

There was so much editing done to the Global News story that the 1st & 2nd editions of the same article can't be compared side-by-side

Global News fundamentally changed the story, concealed editing, & hoped no one would notice
5/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

In Sun News example (covered by my investigation), Kinsella re-dated story a day later to conceal evidence it was published in tandem with Time

Whereas Global News kept same date but altered entire story
6/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Global News was forced to come clean by CTV News, when Scheer appeared unexpectedly on television to confess Conservative Party gave Global News the Trudeau video (not anonymous source as 1st reported)

A quasi-relevant sidebar (given foreign interference implications uncovered by investigation)

Mercedes Stephenson is connected to the US Pentagon & used to produce news on their behalf

Although there was very little coverage of Andrew Scheer's confession & it conveniently faded into the 24-hour news cycle, Narcity also covered the surprising event

narcity.com/news/ca/video-…
9/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

The producer for CTV Question Period also posted a video clip of Andrew Scheer's confession that was included in the Narcity story, so Global News couldn't stick to original anonymous attribution anymore

10/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

But CTV News isn't in the clear either

In the story that *did* report Andrew Scheer's confession, they also covered a 2nd photo of PMJT at West Point Grey Academy that *didn't* provide attribution

11/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

In fact, no #CDNmedia is providing attribution for what was technically the 2nd photo of PMJT at the Arabian Nights gala by West Point Grey Academy

I had to research to find its first use by a mainstream Canadian news reporter
12/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

#CDNmedia's 1st use of the alternate Arabian Nights photo was published by Niagara Falls Review (syndicated by Welland Tribune & St. Catharines Standard)

But Ray Spiteri offered no attribution #Ethics

wellandtribune.ca/news-story/960…
13/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

It matters that no #CDNmedia will report where it obtained the 2nd Arabian Nights photo because it originated on Canadaland by a known Indigenous agitator, Robert Jago

(No offense sir, I agitate too)

14/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

So how did Ray Spiteri (Niagara Falls Review) obtain the same photo that Robert Jago published on the same morning it was revealed?

The former is in QC & latter in Southern #ONpoli, at the border crossing to NY & Time magazine
15/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Of note, Doug Ford met with Jason Kenney in the US to help campaign for Conservative interests

The #ONpoli premier joined the #ABleg premier after the #ABleg premier flew to NY

16/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

In reportedly separate incidents that aren't supposed to appear like collusion between certain #CDNmedia & Conservative Party

Time received the 1st photo at same time Global received the video & Niagara Falls was given 3rd pic
17/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Why it matters

At the very least Global News is caught red-handed doing work for the Conservatives that it tried to erase from its publication

It can only be proven because I archived the original story right away
18/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Global News must report its donation of services-in-kind to Elections Canada, because it first promoted the video from an unnamed source, when Andrew Scheer confessed the Conservatives used Global News as its researcher
19/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Then magically, all 3 stories were published on same day, staggered with impressive, coordinated unison

Elections Canada will need to investigate the Niagara Falls Review, in addition to Sun News, Global News, & Time magazine
20/20 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface #CDNmedia

In case you missed it, here is my original investigation of the PMJT #brownface material & its provenance

I will edit later to include the updates from this Twitter thread & @canadianglen's podcast

@canadianglen 21/21 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Here's where to reach Elections Canada to make a complaint

@canadianglen 22/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Postscript NEW

Confirming my #ForeignInterference investigation without a shadow of a doubt, Kenney met w Bremmer & Eurasia Group in NY exactly 2 days before the Time exposé

(See next for context)

@canadianglen 23/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Postscript NEW

Note that Kenney's tweet references an oil & energy business meeting with Eurasia Group, on the same day 2 different photos & a video were dispatched to select media partners that all misrepresented the source
@canadianglen 24/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Postscript NEW

Today Time published a new edition

The **front page** is an interview with Justin Trudeau that portrays the prime minister as groveling from the magazine's previous exposé & controversy

time.com/5686816/justin…
@canadianglen 25/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Postscript NEW

In same new edition, Time interviews Jason Kenney & promotes him as a friendly moderate choice

Article opens trashing PMJT

+ Author doesn't disclose his INCREDIBLE conflict of interest

time.com/5687618/canadi…
@canadianglen 26/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

Postscript NEW

In Time article promoting Kenney & Conservative leadership in Canada, note how badly the editing is done that some sentences are missing words & questions/answers leap wildly

See next for la piéce de résistance
@canadianglen 27/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface

Postscript NEW

Person who interviewed Kenney & trashed PMJT is editor of Time & prez of Eurasia Grp

Eurasia met Kenney 2 days before #brownface scandal

Editor doesn't disclose conflict or recent biz meeting

time.com/author/ian-bre…
.
@canadianglen 28/28 #CDNpoli #Elxn43 #TrudeauBlackface/#Brownface

In summary,

Jason Kenney managed to reveal that Time's editor was with him when the racist media was coordinated with Conservative aligned press in the US & #CDNmedia, as operatives of the party

Blatant #ForeignInterference
