Mr. Tapper and CNN have been corrected by thousands of Canadians.

Yet he and his network persist in amplifying this disinformation.

Why?
Why has CNN been connected, through Jake Tapper, to promotion of conspiracy theories favouring the far right?

This is not Tapper’s first kick at the cat. He personally gave legitimacy to Trump and denigrated Clinton in 2016 US presidential election.
His devotion to truth is questionable. He’s a click bait king misleading a nation.

Americans know this. Canadians need to be aware of it as well.

washingtonpost.com/news/politics/…
CNN is replacing the discredited Fox News in spreading disinformation.

Fox is a wounded warrior. The Dominion lawsuit has created cognitive dissonance in far right zeitgeist. Tapper steps in to provide a “legitimate” narrative.
Canadians need to wise up. This is the fourth manufactured scandal that has originated on the far right aimed at damaging the liberal brand and Trudeau’s popularity and widespread support.

Tapper is a complicit bad actor with a platform & a long history offering disinformation.
His objective by persisting with this false narrative is clear, after being corrected by thousands of Canadians, many who are on the ground & know the facts and understand how healthcare is delivered in Canada. He’s providing a large platform to attack PMJT.
CNN is as complicit as Tapper.

As I write this Tapper is creating the perception that it’s Canadians who are delusional and ensnared in some Q’Anon inspired mass fugue. But he knows the truth. We’re just deluded idiots.

Of course far right network has picked this up. FFS!
I swear, if Canadians believe this shit I give up! How many times can far right operatives throw shit at the walls and people become enamoured with the shape it takes?

Americans, I’d like some support here. Your compromised media is interfering in Canadian politics.
Call out complicit bad actors and realize CNN is as infiltrated as Fox News.

Tapper is compromised and actively participating in a coordinated disinformation campaign to damage the popularity of a foreign leader.
@maddow @Lawrence @the11thHourShow @JoeNBC
CNN is not an authority on the Canadian healthcare system.

When thousands of Canadian citizens correct the disinformation but the narrator refuses to retract his false information, that’s international news.

Please correct the disinformation. It’s the neighbourly thing to do.

Since Christian Nationalists in the US seem to be leading this movement, here is what to expect from Canadian xenophobic Christian Nationals.

This isn’t a joke or hyperbole. This is what they want. To make Manifest Destiny real.

You can see why treaties would be a nuisance.
How many Canadians know their North American history? I bet few. The dominant culture and those who benefitted and still do are reluctant to reveal the devastation created by expansion of the US and Canada (British Empire).

So many believe Kenney wants to go back to the 1950’s.

I keep repeating it’s not the 1950’s. That was the Golden Age of American Capitalism.

Kenney is looking to implement a return to 1850. Before human rights. Before treaties. When whomever legally claimed land owned it.

Interesting independent journalism article.

ALEC has formed a resistance group to climate change.

Weirder still, their position sounds awfully familiar to Canadian conservative’s strategy. @Tentoads4truth

Could UCP, Sask Party or Ontario PC’s be giving ALEC advice?
However their strategy was developed, it is certainly supported by Canadian conservative premiers.

Was this the retaliation Kenney referred to when Biden cancelled KXL?

Me thinks this could be it.
What is it called when an entire industry attempts to write laws favourable to their profit making and eliminating federal government power to regulate them?

A corporatist coup?

A cartel coup?

A plutocrat coup?

Whatever the descriptor, this is an organized coup. ImageImageImageImage

The response to this desperate request for federal coordination and extreme targeted measures to save maximum number of lives is disturbing to say the least!
There has been a coordinated strategy to divide the nation & destroy the unity of a national identity. I’m devastated that it seems to have succeeded.

Conservative politicians have relentlessly incited animus while exuding arrogance & haughty derision on progressive Canadians.
We have a visceral and palpable physical reaction to politicians like Ford, Kenney, Moe, Pallister, Legault. Horgan is also in this group, and receives less bile, but that’s a disturbing phenomenon on its own. He doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I wonder if Canadians understand why First Nations with band and legal FN status are excused from the tax burden for the maintenance of the provinces and nation if they earn their wages on reserve?
There are many who believe this to be an unfair advantage for FN indigenous people.

But that’s because they don’t understand treaties, land title, property rights and citizenship in Canada.

Unless you understand those topics intimately, you’re making a judgment in ignorance.
Treaties were signed with most First Nations. Treaties allow the Crown to assume the title to all the lands in Canada, except the reserves on which various FN were assigned and restricted to live.

Over time, these reserve lands began to be known as independent nations.

It’s disheartening that political pundits continue to ignore the political splintering of conservatives has ALWAYS been the radical evangelical religious right asserting dominance. Every fricking time!

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
By continuously ignoring the power wielded by religious extremism in Alberta, the public remains in a fog, unable to discern what is happening in provincial and federal politics.

This attempt to normalize jockeying for control of the agenda is discouraging.
Is it lack of familiarity about the Christian right? Or is it the attempt to keep religion and politics separate?

But the effort to normalize what has been happening in Alberta since 1935 is intentional. And that makes me angry and resentful.

JFC! This is a disaster. Conservatives are a complete disaster. We will never get out of covid misery until we get rid of conservative governments.

Note: BC isn’t conservative. They are NDP. But left libertarians are as easy to buy off as cons apparently.
Now add Liberty Coalition and crazy church goers refusing to wear masks and worshipping in secret.

This will be catastrophic. Don’t go out unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Then add white supremacist liberty protesters.

I resent my tax dollars being spent on people who insist on harming themselves.

It’s one thing for freedom fighters to refuse to wear a seatbelt. Quite another for weekly sessions of group Russian roulette with a deadly disease.
