1/9 Shameful @AaronWherry & @CBCNews are falling prey to IDU, Harper & #QanonOToole, leading the rest of #CDNpoli astray with this blasphemous propaganda

The Somewheres & Anywheres is called

ECOLOGY OF ANIMAL MIGRATION & no dolt from Brexit invented it

cbc.ca/news/politics/…

2/9 Though @AaronWherry is usually a solid reporter, what's happened to @CBCNews editors that they've become an unwitting tool of far-right propaganda to delegitimize science & make a mockery of it?

Ecology of animals (& the human mammal) can't be rebranded by #CDNpoli radicals

3/9 From animals to tiny cells, all life is either stationary or migratory. This forms part of the basis of #ecology in all things & Harper, OToole, the IDU, nor Brexit can change that by bastardizing complex science to 'Somewheres & Anywheres'

@AaronWherry @CBCNews #CDNpoli

4/9 So now far-right extremists, the likes of which collaborate with criminals like Steve Bannon, are inventing words like 'Somewheres & Anywheres' to hijack #CDNmedia & science, turning #ecology into a misinfo wedge now distributed widely by @CBCNews

@AaronWherry #CDNpoli

5/9 And this when trust in #CDNmedia is at unprecedented lows, compounded by the digital revolution. It's our job to function as the Fourth Estate to keep politicians in check

It was our job to call out O'Toole on this blasphemous, offensive gaffe

@AaronWherry @CBCNews #CDNpoli

6/9 All @AaronWherry's report accomplished was embarrassing him & @CBCNews to anyone with an education

& Contrary to the Somewheres & Anywheres extremist propaganda, that cant even be broken down along rural & urban lines because #ecology isn't that myopic or homogenous #CDNpoli

7/9 For all living things there are micro & macro considerations & migratory versus stationary behaviour can further diverge within the same group. To swallow the Somewheres & Anywheres propaganda, you would have to ignore ALL environmental factors

@AaronWherry @CBCNews

8/9 Instead of countering the extremist misinformation that was meant to stoke baseless hate between rural & urban voters, @CBCNews broadcast this weapon of mass destruction without question, missing an opportunity to prove its credibility & educate readers

@AaronWherry #CDNpoli

9/9 I don't expect @AaronWherry to be an expert on everything but that's why there are supposed to be dynamically experienced editors at @CBCNews to catch this stuff before it backfires & erodes the trust of a #CDNpoli audience

But I'm the one out of work for being too assertive
