We need to talk about misinformation.

@CalgaryCoop: why do you invite Trump-supporting publications to pollute the Co-op?

Retailers removed the MyPillow brand because of their support for Trump.

Why do you still do business with AMI & Postmedia?

#RemovePostmedia #abpoli ImageImage
The choice of the @calgarysun to post misinformation (the cover is an outright lie) from a Brian Lilley editorial is bad enough, but @CalgaryCoop you’ve chosen to subject your workers and customers to those lies.

Brian Lilley was a co-founder of Rebel Media.

#RemovePostmedia
Magazine brands that spread conspiracy theories like the National Enquirer and @nationalpost are incredibly damaging to society.

We have anti-mask rallies because of the acceptance of far-right conspiracy theories.

@CalgaryCoop, stop doing business with AMI. #RemovePostmedia

Maybe Carpay knows who’s helping to finance this operation?

If Carpay’s “Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms” (JCCF) is in fact helping to fund this #spreadneck parade, then it makes sense to look at who funds them....

A short thread about newspapers:

In the US, some newspapers basically rented out their front page to help get Trump elected in 2016. They worked like little billboards in the grocery isle campaigning all year long.

Think about that next time you shop.

nationalobserver.com/2018/08/28/new…
"David Pecker’s reach into US society is unescapable: he owns nearly every supermarket tabloid and gossip sheet in the United States, including the flagship publication National Enquirer."

theguardian.com/media/2018/aug…

"The National Enquirer and its former publisher American Media Inc. (AMI) buried around 60 damaging stories about Donald Trump in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election"

Looks like @kinsellawarren doesn’t like getting called out for dirty deeds.

Thanks for the subtweet, I guess.

So here’s a thread about some of the actions of Kinsella and his “Daisy Group” over the past while.

#cdnpoli
For starters, here's the tweet that he blocked me over.

I referenced his company's meetings with Jody Wilson-Raybould prior to her turning on her own party.

Notice that in his tweet he didn't refute this?
He just attacked and blocked.

#cdnpoli
The link I'm referencing is an excellent bit of research by Amy MacPherson.

I've never met Ms. MacPherson, but Kinsella thinks we might be pals, so hi @MsAmyMacPherson! I'm a fan.

Everything I've ever seen by her has been top quality!
