🧵 Far-right, anti-choice #Conservatives in public office.

This is Michael Barrett, #CPC shadow minister for “ethics”. Barrett routinely sends profoundly dishonest mail-outs to his constituents, which only occasionally get challenged by the targets of his disinformation #cdnpoli

Barrett is cut from the same broad cloth as #PierrePoilievre, Derek Sloan & other #Conservative members across 🇨🇦. All of them helped into power by far right anti-choice organizations like Campaign Life Coalition & “RightNow”. #cdnpoli #CPC

Both CLC & RightNow are far right disinformation dispensing anti-choice groups whose members oppose abortion even in the case of rape & incest. Their extremist positions even target #Conservatives with less extreme views. #cdnpoli

These groups work to install right-wing anti-choice politicians who also routinely mislead, lie & spread propaganda over facts, including anti-LGBTQ hate, #Covid19 disinformation & anti-vax propaganda.

Media fact check organization analysis of Campaign Life, for example, regards them as “extreme right”.
These groups routinely frame selected facts along side fallacious claims & outright lies. Sound familiar? A pattern repeated by #Conservatives like Poilievre, Barrett & others

Anti-choice extreme Right politicians have steadily made up an increasing number within federal & provincial #Conservative parties. Including well funded & well organized ground games to install far-right politicians across 🇨🇦. pressprogress.ca/anti-abortion-… #CPC #cdnpoli
