Just a reminder of the facts, in the midst of the fog of war being created by #Conservative owned #cdnmedia.
Justin Trudeau’s gov’t not only skillfully managed the pandemic in spite of hostile premiers refusal to do their part in keeping people safe & afloat.…#exln44#cdnpoli
…but the Trudeau gov’t also managed to maintain a AAA rating (Germany was the only other G7 country to do so), gain the highest marks of ANY advanced economy from the IMF, make 🇨🇦 #1 in vaccinations & surpass 🇺🇸 in economic growth for the 1st time in history. #elxn44#cdnpoli
Instead we should reward the #CPC’s domestic malign influence operations, disinformation campaigns, #DarkMoney funded front groups micro-targeting social media users & return 🇨🇦 to Harpers of darkness?
The bias from the moderator is already ridiculous. “You inspire people” she says to Jagmeet, then complains in her q that Trudeau “plunged the country” into an election. No minority government has ever lasted more than 2 years. We should vote mid winter? #Elxn44#LeadersDebate
OMG!!! O’Toole pretending to be a “pro choice ally”. Meanwhile he would have 14 rabid far right anti choice extremists in his cabinet. Unbelievable! #OTooleIsALiar
A woman came forward WITH RECEIPTS of PPC #MarcEmery’s grooming of her when she was underage. She showed the sexually explicit messages Emery sent to her as a 17 year old. Now SHE has been suspended @TwitterSafety, but an alleged predator who called for an assassination, isn’t??
Multiple other women have come forward with VERY similar stories re #MarcEmery, grooming them when they were underage, giving them drugs (ecstasy, acid etc, in addition to weed) & coercing them into sexual activity. Yet this man is still a PPC candidate. #elxn44#cdnpoli
I have 6 extremely explicit messages #MarcEmery sent to Mel, (aka @CiaraHempseed) when she was 17. These messages were provided by Mel/Ciara, & came from Facebook archives from 2009. I won’t post them, but I do have them. Emery has had no consequences for his predation. #elxn44
PPC candidate who deleted his tweet calling for PMJT to be assassinated, has also been accused by multiple women of being groomed by him when they were underage. Here’s one of the women who retrieved an old FB message. My God these people are vile. #Elxn44#PPCCandidates#cdnpoli
Why, in my view, is this a #CPC op & NOT originating with the PPC?
The CPC are the sole beneficiaries. They can look “reasonable” compared to the PPC & prevent #PPC from hiving off any CPC votes. But this op does other things too….#NeverVoteCPC#Elxn44#NeverVoteConservative
…It gives #CPC plausible deniability for a sociopathic campaign straight out of the authoritarian playbook, it allows for gaslighting (as O’Toole has done, endlessly) & it creates an atmosphere of hate aimed at PMJT, while seeking to demoralize & intimidate Liberals. #Elxn44
These tactics are designed to attract others to join in & amplify the op to make it look organic. PPC attracts antisocial personality types who consume RW disinformation. So they would naturally be attracted to this type of engagement. Easy dupes, if you will. #NeverVoteCPC
Erin O’Toole’s mercenary PR team, Topham Guerin, that handled Boris Johnson’s campaign & Brexit, have a history of malign influence tactics that seem to follow them around. They learned at the knee of Lynton Crosby, aka Australia’s Karl Rove. #Elxn44#NeverVoteCPC
#Facebook is utilized heavily in Topham Guerin strategies. Skirting election laws by using front groups setting up Facebook pages that pretend to be grassroots, thus avoid inclusion as 3rd party advertising. Working for Crosby, TG oversaw an entire disinformation network. #Elxn44
When working for Scott Morrison, Australia’s current conservative PM (the Liberal Party in Australia is the equivalent of the #CPC), similar tactics that we’re witnessing in 🇨🇦, could be seen. The left was targeted in addition to the right. An oft used tactic by the Right #Elxn44
1. Andrew Lawton peddles in extremism. Erin O’Toole treating this propagandist as an actual journalist, normalizes far right disinformation & pretends it’s legitimate & reasonable. It isn’t. It’s the subversion of objective truth & facts. #elxn44#cdnmedia#StopTheCPC
3. On Canada Day, when many chose to observe a day of mourning, to honour Indigenous lives lost at the hands of systemic racism, Andrew Lawton chose instead to dog whistle to neo-Nazis. #NeverVoteCPC#NeverVoteConservative#Elxn44#cdnmedia#StopTheCPC
