1/ Update on this story and it's a doozie, (but not a whopper). We don't tell whoppers around here. All of this is true and open-sourced. Marshall left the Infrastructure Ministry after his Proud Boy ties were revealed in this expose: scaffold.media/2021/02/11/why…
2/ His dad (Jim Darbyshire)'s LinkedIn shows he was put in charge of the Toronto Police Public Order Unit - Special Events section AFTER his son participated in and emcee'd a pro-Proud Boys support rally with the JDL in 2017. ca.linkedin.com/in/jim-darbysh…
3/ Daddy was also logistics lead at the G20. He has a certificate from the RCMP for ‘Counter-terrorism’ (also 2018). His son was at Queens Park demonstrating with extremists, on behalf of a now designated terror group! Is every journalist in this country asleep at their desks?
4/ Maybe it was an accident a senior cop's son was the executive of a hosting campus group and slipped Paul Fromm the megaphone, leading to a catastrophic split between the #ProudBoys and JDL, spawning the "#ProudGoys." That's probably it. (Note Thomas Zaugg fourth from left).
5/ If you caught charges standing up to #ProudBoys in Toronto after 2018 you should run, not walk, to your defense counsel and tell them that TPS 'Public Order' had ties to "#ProudBoys Support". That's massive. This photo is from a 2018 hate rally where 6 were arrested.
6/ The same cops who've been beating us in the streets and arresting us? Their kids have been standing with the #FredPerrys then working in senior government positions. This is staggering in its implications, especially after events at the U.S. #Capitol on January 6, 2021.
7/ Let's not talk about mom's real estate biz or Marshall's access to the Infrastructure ministry which was *just* about to introduce Bill 257 seeking MZOs to bypass zoning rules, when he left, power critics argue, could benefit developers. Bummer, dude.

1/ Let's play compare and contrast:

(Left) The police attacked the victims in lock step with a violent #Nazi.

(Right) The police trumped up as many charges as possible under the direction of far right groups.

Just wait until we get to compare the #media response. #cdnPoli Image

1/ This is massive. My own charges from the People's Party of Canada event at Mohawk College have been withdrawn as well. Looks like we're mostly 'out from under' at this time, so I'll finally give comment. #onpoli #cdnpoli Image
2/ Despite trying their best to charge a group of us for standing up to organized #hate and #racism, Hamilton Police Service has been forced to acknowledge that they never really had a case. I was charged for saying "fuck you" to an officer who shoved me. facebook.com/kevinbmetcalf/…
3/ Nobody "harassed old ladies", that was fake news, amplified through networks of inauthentic posters across the same social media platforms and associations presently under international investigation for material support of terror following the recent US coup attempt. Image

1/ This kind of deliberately divisive and misleading headline about "woke foods" is transparent and deliberate misinformation. CTV is doing @erinotoole's propaganda work. Telling lies like this, promoting race hate and misinformation ought to be punished. Image
2/ Long story short: @WholeFoods tried to ban red poppy badges to support its (actually inexcusable) US ban on visible BLM support, and here, the media and their conservative paymasters are: lying, making it out to be 'leftist' #WokeFoods bullies trying to ban poppies. Image
3/ @fordnation is boycotting @WholeFoods , because "little people" should totally care that the scumbag #premier who won't protect Ontarians from small business and home evictions is boycotting @JeffBezos the insipid, guillotinable billionaire who exploits millions. Image
