Roger Waters - Breathe

This is how the concert began. 'Resident Hippie' Jonathon Wilson fills in for David Gilmour spectacularly throughout

From the Us + Them tour, October 2, 2017

From the Us + Them tour, October 2, 2017

4/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Pigs (Three Different Ones)

DO NOT MISS! It's the best part of the concert (& from my fave album Animals). It's dedicated to Trump & the flying pig passes overhead

October 13, 2017

5/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Pigs (Three Different Ones) x2

Requires watching twice to absorb everything. A wall was erected to split the fans apart & make a political point. See the full arena angle

October 2, 2017

6/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Welcome To The Machine

An incredibly important classic. The sound moved straight through us, pushing & pulling for an unfathomable concert experience. Waters is a genius

October 13, 2017

7/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - One Of These Days

Ecstatic they did this one! We were close enough to see Waters rock the heck out of his bass guitar. This is a true gem for Floyd fans

October 13, 2017

8/19 #PinkFloyd #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Another Brick In The Wall Parts 2 & 3

Performed with amazing, local, underprivileged kids from the Regent Park music program. During #COVID19 they may need assistance from foodbank

October 2, 2017

9/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Money

Includes more poignant footage of Trump & Putin, among others, The wall dividing the audience also dances throughout this song. It's an incredible sight to behold

October 2, 2017

10/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Brain Damage/Eclipse

"If the band you're in starts playing different tunes,
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"

Wait for light show that sweeps into the prism!

October 13, 2017

11/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Brain Damage/Eclipse x2

I had to share the second edition that gives a full view of this spectacular light show, as well as the (dark side of the) moon that floats by us

October 2, 2017

12/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Mother

The Toronto crowd responds to some of these lyrics

October 13, 2017

13/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Speech to audience

The 2nd show brought tears to Waters' eyes & made him consider moving to Canada. Just listen to how much Toronto loves him & the legend of Pink Floyd

October 13, 2017

14/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Wish You Were Here

It's my fave song of all time & possibly yours too. Sending this out to all the families separated from loved ones in the hospital battling #COVID_19

October 13, 2017

15/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Smell The Roses

This is a newer song from his solo career. If you haven't heard it, you should. And darn the radio for silencing free speech. Noteworthy political lyrics

October 13, 2017

16/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Picture That (explicit)

Another new song from his solo career that radio won't play, but this time due to profanity. It utterly skewers Trump regarding several topics

October 13, 2017

17/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Comfortably Numb

This is how the show ended so you know it's got to be incredible. Every paper that fluttered from above said #Resist + enjoy the final laser light show

October 13, 2017

18/19 #PinkFloyd #COVID19 #TOpoli #ONpoli #CDNpoli

Roger Waters - Comfortably Numb x2

The last double-shot for ultimate Floyd fans, so they can see the full arena view of this spectacular production. Clip includes the final bow ♥

Roger Waters - Us + Them Tour 2017

1/20🧵 I have some pretty big news to share #Thread #CDNpoli

I finally have all my specialized test results & it's much worse than anyone hoped or predicted. My life is going to be cut rather short due to physical complications with cancer & political complications with #Covid19
2/20 🧵#CDNpoli #Cancer #COVID19

In the past 2 months, my lung cancer tumor has already grown. But yesterday we finally learned why I was falling & what injured my leg & back to make them so painful & too weak to walk anymore

I don't just have lung cancer. There's more...
3/20🧵#CDNpoli #Cancer #COVID19

In addition to the lung tumor, my left leg & hip are riddled with cancer. It began in my right leg too. All lymph nodes have cancer. Two spots in my spine have cancer (T5 & T12). Cancer in my left rib & right shoulder. 3 tumors in my liver as well

1/16🧵 A #thread on how badly #CDNmedia is crippled by substituting journalism with public relations amid concentrated, consolidated, & political ownership

This isn't just about revenue, though the Canada Revenue Agency (#CRA) will serve as this week's textbook example (con't)
2/16🧵 #CDNmedia #CDNpoli #CRA

Yesterday you might've seen this vanilla story about Revenue Canada taking its site offline for some miscellaneous 'global #security vulnerability'

It was a whole lot of 'everything's fine' & 'nothing to see here' #InfoSec

archive.md/H0K1T
3/16🧵 #CDNpoli #CRA

That story was written by Canadian Press, that now funds reporters via Facebook corporate sponsorship in an official & ongoing #CDNmedia alliance

It was published without a byline at 11pm on Saturday night (when few would see it) & syndicated by Global News

1/9🧵 It's grievous #CDNmedia won't do its job so it appears I'm betraying my gender for contributing the facts

But problem with this narrative is they're omitting the part where Chu met the girl at a bar & that's what everything hinges on due to Supreme Court precedent #Thread
2/9🧵 Reason it matters that Chu met her at a drinking establishment is because Supreme Court ruled it's reasonable to ascertain someone is an adult, due to the pub's legal onus to check IDs to permit entry. Chu can't be prosecuted for luring a minor since she misrepresented age
3/9🧵 Now, with the amount of people who don't know the first thing about #CDNlaw + #CDNmedia failing its due diligence to inform, everyone is hopping on a political bandwagon to seek vengeance & claim the system is completely broken

💥This discourages women from reporting💥

1/17 🧵#CDNpoli #InfoSec #CDNmedia

To friends, a cautious warning; to nefarious actors, you're put on notice & the radar of #NatSec

During the writ my bank account was hacked repeatedly, likely to gain insight RE who might be paying me

On #Elxn44 day, $3,000 was stolen
2/17 🧵#InfoSec #CDNmedia

Soon after the #Elxn44 writ dropped, multiple IP addresses began #hacking my bank account

According to bank security (that happens to be the HQ for all #CDNpoli banking #NatSec security), every attack arose from @Rogers/@RogersHelps accounts
3/17 🧵#CDNpoli #InfoSec #CDNmedia

And by no means was it even typical hacking. It's the type that put #NatSec on full alert because it compromised bank security as well as my own security & overrode all the safeguards that banks have in place

Please let me explain...

1/24 🧵#CDNpoli

Expect this news will make most of you uncomfortable. Plz let me begin with a declaration that the #ClimateCrisis is real & requires immediate action

But you've also heard me address conflict of interest in #CDNmedia & this #thread has serious legal implications
2/24 🧵#CDNpoli #CDNmedia

It's outrageously serendipitous that #Huawei's Meng Wanzhou signed a plea deal today, the #2Michaels are coming home from China, & that Grimes is reporting marital troubles with Elon Musk

Could've never imagined those topics would intertwine like this
3/24 🧵#CDNpoli

When it comes to conflicts of interest in #CDNmedia my criticisms are not partisan

For #J_school legal reasons it has always been imperative for journos to decline reporting on people or matters that involve them & to ethically disclose when that isn't avoidable

1/34 🧵#CDNpoli #SLAPP

I've received a threatening letter from lawyers on behalf of @MercedesGlobal & @GlobalNews to prevent me from speaking about Stephenson's role in #CDNmedia as the wife of Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole's #Elxn44 director

This #thread is my response
2/34 🧵#CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn44

I will not comply with demands made in bad faith by @GlobalNews & @MercedesGlobal, nor will I shrink from unfounded #SLAPP allegations that are libelous against me. I ask that you cease & desist with this harassment. Here are my reasons (con't):
3/34 🧵#CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn44

On the 1st page of your error-laden defamation notice, you claim that I've caused @GlobalNews & @MercedesGlobal "serious damage" but fail to state any negative consequences & fail to provide evidence of damage

Is Elections Canada investigating?
