🧵Hmm, notice the latest trend of manipulative bullshit coming from the #CPC? You know, where they’re suddenly pretending to be centrists caring about others because their nonstop messaging of hate & divisiveness wasn’t working? #cdnpoli
Let’s start with Mr “Barbaric Cultural Practices” himself, Stephen Harper. Harper goes around the world undermining democracies through the #IDU & supporting far right authoritarians like Muslim hating ethno-nationalists like #ViktorOrban & #NarendraModi. #cdnpoli #CPC
Next, we have #ErinOToole, who, along with all other #Conservative MP’s, except Michael Chong, voted against @iamIqraKhalid’s 2017 #Motion103 condemning #Islamophobia. Now he’s attending a vigil knowing Trudeau is away on state business? Quite a change in tune🤔. #PRscam #cdnpoli
But the cherry on this bullshit sundae, is the queen of hypocrisy & self-interest herself, @MichelleRempel. Rempel voted against M-103 too. What did she tweet the day news broke of the Afzaal family’s murder? She tweeted #Jan6th insurrectionist & Islamophobe, Elise Stefanik. #CPC
But then #BlockedByRempel seized the opportunity, not to put out a statement on Twitter where she’s blocked half of #cdnpoli, but to direct traffic to her website to read her insincere statement released today. Jeez. Must have been a helluva meeting with Topham Guerin PR coaches
More on the attempted hoodwinking by the #CPC. For years #Conservatives have used code like “Islamic terrorist” to inflame anti-Muslim hate. From Michael Cooper reading Christchurch mass murder’s manifesto into the record in Parliament, to Candice Bergen’s dog whistles. #cdnpoli
#CPC hides its deliberate stoking of hate & the othering of Muslims by invoking terms like “Islamist Terrorism”. Then they gaslight about their routine use of the politics of hate in order to hoodwink the voting public…always trying to have it both ways. #cdnpoli #CPCHypicrites
When @iamIqraKhalid put forward #Motion103 condemning #Islamophobia & systemic racism, it could’ve passed with little fanfare. Instead, #CPC used it to fundraise off fanning flames of hate. Social media was awash in far right & fake accounts pushing #CPC’s disinformation campaign
In other words, #CPC is part of the politics of hate that helped lead to the murder of an innocent family. A 20 year old was radicalized, not in a vacuum, but in the ecosystem of right wing disinformation & propaganda & parties like CPC/GOP fundraising off of hate, fear, division

#BlockedByRempel’s hypocrisy is grotesque. Michelle Rempel is a narcissist. There is nothing she does or says that isn’t entirely rooted in self-promotion or self-interest.

She promotes #Jan6th insurrectionist Stefanik, as if THAT is who 🇨🇦 should take direction from?! #cdnpoli Image
Why is it especially significant that Michelle Rempel is promoting Elise Stefanik? Because Stefanik enabled #January6thInsurrection & engaged in trying to overturn a democratic election. She promoted Trump’s #BigLie & other disinformation. #cdnpoli projects.propublica.org/represent/memb… ImageImageImageImage
Rempel & Stefanik (like Hawley, Poilievre, Cruz etc) practice the same hypocritical faux populist rhetoric, to disguise the reality of what GOP/CPC are: instruments of a corrupt billionaire class, seeking to manipulate the public into voting against their own interests. #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage

Restating what many of us on #ONpoli have been saying all day: Trudeau’s gov’t sent millions of rapid tests to Ontario. They sat unused on shelves because of Ford. Not sent to schools last year for safe reopening, etc. Why?
To enrich political donors? #FordMustResign #cdnpoli
As usual, @pressprogress broke valuable news directly related to this very topic. #DougFord’s director of pandemic response was a private health lobbyist for #ShoppersDrugMart.

I tweeted about this last October. Loblaws, owner of #ShoppersDrugMart, invested $75M in Maple. They expect return on their investment through increased privatization of #Ontario’s public healthcare. #OntHealth #ONpoli #VoteFordOut2022 #cdnpoli

NEVER forget this. #DougFord has been the client of one of the most manipulative dark actors to ever operate on the Canadian political landscape: Navigator. They have coached him, planted stories in the press, shaped social media responses through inauthentic activity. #ONpoli
Remember this piece of lockstep propaganda in #cdnmedia?

Take note of who falls for #DougFord’s ridiculous crocodile tears today. The Trudeau gov’t transferred billions to Ford for #COVID19Ontario relief measures. Ford hoarded the💰instead of implementing #PaidSickDays. #ONpoli
Now that there are petitions demanding #DougFordResign, suddenly this incompetent conman can produce the #PaidSickDays that he was given federal funding to help pay for, OVER A YEAR AGO? Anyone who falls for #DougFord’s soap opera acting, is a fool, a liar or an enabler. #onpoli

🧵1. Since there’s so much disinformation (ie from @jaketapper), let’s breakdown the real problems in #COVID19CA.
Mulroney sold off 70 yrs of publicly owned domestic vaccine production capacity in 🇨🇦. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… #cdnpoli
2. Chrétien/Martin increased R&D funding but selling off Connaught was a body blow.

Then Harper made things worse.

Not only did Harper’s #CPC gov’t cut PHAC funding by 23% (phac-aspc.gc.ca/about_apropos/… )

Harper drastically cut funding to research councils. #cdnpoli #Covid19CA
3. Enter other issues, like cronyism between #Conservatives & pharma companies.
In 2011 Harper gave a 10 yr $425.9M contract to GSK (formerly GlaxoSmithKline). It required GSK to supply at least 15 million doses a month in a pandemic once its vaccine is ready #cdnpoli #COVID19CA

I’m going to add to this @TurnbullWhitby tweet. #BlockedByRempel is beyond hypocritical. She exemplifies toxic politicking. #MichelleRempel pleaded with officials in Oklahoma to implement lockdowns to ‘keep her family safe’. Now she performatively demands removing lockdowns in 🇨🇦 ImageImageImage
#BlockedByRempel is so profoundly narcissistic that she can’t even recognize the hypocrisy within her own Twitter thread. She said “we’re all in this together” after slamming “coastal regions” & pretending that Calgary is some flyover backwater ignored by “elites” 🙄. #cdnpoli ImageImage
Something else that must be noted about #MichelleRempel’s ridiculous comment pretending Calgary Nose Hill is “overlooked by elites”. Know what the median household income is in #CalgaryNoseHill? $101,329/year. MEDIAN. #ABpoli #cdnpoli Image

Dangerous #covid19 disinformation in Canada & elsewhere. A thread. #cdnpoli #CovidCanada
Let’s begin with AIER, The American Institute For Economic Research. #AIER is a libertarian “think tank”, largely funded by the Koch Network. AIER is behind such large scale propaganda offensives as “The Great Barrington Declaration”. A thoroughly debunked piece of disinformation
AIER disinformation has been so successful & pervasive that even formerly respected authors peddle their nonsense.
Incidentally, Naomi Wolfe happens to be a “Visiting Senior Fellow” at #AIER. #cdnpoli #COVID19 #COVIDdisinformation
