Canadians are actually one of the biggest driving forces for white supremacy in America, yet Canada pretends it doesn't have a problem.
2/ Surprisingly a lot of Canadians that have no clue.

Let's start with Canadians are the largest per capita producers of online content to radicalize white supremacists.

3/ The globe analyzed posts from far-right Canadian groups, and found while relatively small, they focused on high stakes and influential operations.

4/ "A former Canadian soldier who is accused of participation in a neo-Nazi terror group..."

vice.com/en/article/ne8…
5/ A whack of Canadians supporting another US extremist site.

"88 users of the now-defunct neo-Nazi site Iron March with ...all believe, and call for, the same thing – terrorism, death and genocide."

6/ Then there's the meme makers, content producers, and leaders of American white supremacy groups. Feel free to look up who they are, and where they're from.

A disproportionate number are Canadian.

@VestsCanada might have something to add.
7/ I should clarify, I mean the organized resurgence of white supremacy as an open movement. The white supremacists marching in the streets.

America has always been racist, and same with Canada.

Although Canada has always played a role with that too.

8/ Oh, yeah. In Montreal.

“Zeiger is probably second to only Andrew Anglin, the Daily Stormer’s founder and chief propagandist,”

"... One of the most influential white supremacists in North America..."

🇨🇦’s wild these days.
- Money laundering capital of the world
- the global fentanyl “command & control center”
- home to transnational organized crime heads
- at least 1 in 7,800 residents are members of organized crimes.

How did this happen so fast?

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ first of all, most folks in 🇨🇦 don’t realize how bad things are yet, they’re just dealing with the consequences.

Soaring housing costs. Rising car thefts. Unaffordable housing, Overdoses in your hood. Violence in your streets.

All related.
3/ 🇨🇦’s home prices soared in the mid-2010s due to laundering.

Fentanyl proceeds were washed in casinos, then layered w/housing. It’s now called the Vancouver model.

Home prices surged since comps were skewed, & launderers WANT to pay more.

Dive into this later.

Funny story. About a year ago I was crunching 🇨🇦’s immigration data & found a really neat issue.

… over 1 in 6 of 🇨🇦’s claimed immigrants don’t actually exist in the country.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ I was looking at immigrant cohorts from the 1980s & forward, & noticed an interesting pattern: 1 in 7 would disappear from taxfiler data.

They drop out faster in recent data, but still consistent. In finance a predictable pattern usually means 1 of 2 things: fraud or error.
3/ so I contact Stat Can & inquire to make sure I understood the data correctly. I did.

About a month later, Stat Can conducts a study & concludes *drumroll* 1 in 6 immigrants probably left the country… since 1980.

🇨🇦 isn’t sure because it doesn’t track departures.

🇨🇦 just busted 3 fentanyl labs in 2 days.

All well equipped, industrial scale facilities within a short-drive of each other in BC. All to produce the fentanyl 🇨🇦 totally doesn’t have.

Tragically I’m not your fentanyl czar, but here’s what I’d notice if I were. 😉

<thread>🧵👇 Image

2/ this is a fun photo. Nothing brown is used to synth fentanyl. Precursors are clear or white.

But aniline, an essential manufacturing chem, is light brown & darkens as it oxidizes.

Only problem is aniline isn’t used in fentanyl production. wtf, eh? Image
3/ However, aniline is used to make fentanyl precursors. RCMP said 2 of 3 labs in the fentanyl bust were manufacturing fentanyl.

What was the 3rd? I’m not a fishing license expert like 🇨🇦’s newly appointed fentanyl czar, but it sure looks like a precursor lab.

Is 🇨🇦’s healthcare system failing due to socialism or capitalism?

Neither. The math is pretty clear—this is just straight up greed, facilitated by crummy people.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ first off, everyone forgets it's hard to be a doctor.

Most people can't finish a book.

A doctor in 🇨🇦 is the result of a 13 year old who decides they'll top their class & do 12-years of post-secondary training to start their career.

Let this point REALLY sink in.
3/ I mean, really sink in. You're delusional if you think you could do it. I couldn't.

The folks in charge didn't need that training. Ontario elected a high school drop out (about to be re-elected). 🇨🇦 elected a high school teacher.

My point isn't to make fun of politicians...

Folks in 🇨🇦 keep explaining to me that we don’t have 🇺🇸-like crime.

It’s true. Here’s a brief list of the 🇺🇸 crime that never happens in 🇨🇦.

<thread> 🧵👇
2. in 🇺🇸, their anti-money laundering & enforcement budgets are soaring to deal with crime.

In 🇨🇦, we’re so confident that there’s no laundering that politicians confidently slash the budgets. Image
3. In 🇺🇸, defunding the police is extremely controversial.

In 🇨🇦, we don’t hesitate. Ontario immediately cut its financial crimes unit. Image

People think 🇨🇦 is lax on money laundering because it’s good for the economy. Nope.

It’s so much worse. The lax enforcement turned into organized crime capturing 🇨🇦. The legal system is now too scared to act. Seriously.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ First off, let’s talk about how extensive 🇨🇦’s organized crime (OG) problem is. The country’s OG intel agency estimates 2,600 groups operate in the country.

Since a gang is 3 people or more, at minimum they’re estimating 1 in 4000 adults are OC members. Image
3/ that means the ratio of OC to normal people is higher than the concentration of high school school teachers to people in Toronto.

Think about that for a second—how often do you see high schools across Toronto? Well, you’re more likely to see OC members than a teacher in one.
