As many have pointed out, the attempted coup last week is shocking, but not surprising. So many of us have been ringing alarm bells for years. Now, we have to track the aftermath - and the Canadian connection.

In other news, we got word that licensed paralegal and neo-Nazi Everett Field is now under investigation by the Law Society. We exposed him in December.

And special from @stevenzzhou - Sounder Dilipan, a tech engineer from Toronto, is using his website and social media channels to push a variety of blatantly anti-Muslim content to his audience in both India and Canada.
