Let’s have a few reminders of what a toxic #Disinformation & propaganda operation “Rebel News” is. They are not rebels & it isn’t news. It’s funded by #DarkMoney but is always claiming they need donations NOW. They also solicit funds in cryptocurrency. #Elxn44#cdnpoli
No one should be treating this toxic operation like a legitimate news site. It is not. It is conduit for malign influence operations. #RebelNews#Elxn44#cdnpoli
Keean Bexte, one of Rebel’s chief Brownshirt propagandists, spreads disinformation, tries to incite violence, then when held remotely accountable, cries that he’s a victim of authoritarianism….& is always open to cryptocurrency “donations”. #cdnmedia#Elxn44#cdnpoli
This needs to be restated again & again. If an MP is on this list, it is because they were helped into power by far right radicals, “Campaign Life Coalition”. #CLC supports Christian candidates who oppose abortion in ALL circumstances, including rape & incest. #cdnpoli#CPC
There’s another little talked about subset of these RW religious cults. It’s called “Christian Domestic Discipline”, where the wife must submit or face routine spankings (JFC!). Here’s one of their websites. …ndomesticdisciplinelife.wordpress.com. CDD Is part of Dominionist ideology. #cdnpoli
At least 1/2 (or more) of the #CPC is made up of extremists. Christo-fascist Dominionists, #ClimateCrisis deniers, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim bigots, white nationalist sympathizers, anti-choice. This is not where the majority of 🇨🇦 is. But the Right wants power by any means #cdnpoli
The number of anti-choice far-right “Christian” coalition members in the #CPC increased sharply during & after #StephenHarper’s reign.
Time to again talk about @MikeBarrettON. A far right Dominionist who denies man-made climate change, voted against the conversion “therapy” ban, & vehemently opposes a woman’s right to choose. He was helped into power by anti-choice extremist groups like #CLC. #cdnpoli#ONpoli
Michael Barrett’s has recently taken to putting out #PierrePoilievre type propaganda videos. At the end of his most recent disinformation contribution, he attempted, I guess, humour? 😣. But ironically just conveyed he was being upfront about his dishonesty? #ONpoli#cdnpoli
Michael Barrett, along with most of his far right cohorts, had very little (or nothing at all) to say about 2 deadly serious events: the #January6thInsurrection & the assassination attempt of 🇨🇦’s Prime Minister. Barrett said nothing about either.
They’re all using the same playbook & script. “It’s something we just have to live with” is the official lines from all of these guys, Kenney, Ford, DeSantis etc.
When the Kremlin launched its weaponization of social media prior to 🇺🇸 2016 election, there was great concern that other malignant actors would quickly adopt these techniques.
