When there was an assassination attempt on 🇨🇦’s PM, July 2/20, there wasn’t a single #Conservative MP who publicly condemned the act. A radicalized man who consumed RW conspiracy nonsense, loaded his truck with weapons + live ammo, intent on lethal harm. #NeverVoteConservative
Not only did Erin O’Toole not condemn the violent act, this is what O’Toole tweeted the day of the assassination attempt & the next day. O’Toole added to the rhetoric…the very type that helped radicalize the would-be assassin. #NeverVoteConservative#2TierOToole#Elxn44
Michael Barrett, #CPC “ethics” critic, not only said nothing about the assassination attempt, but tried to take credit for a federal Liberal project & acted as though the Liberals had nothing to do with it. Then he amplified 1/6 seditionist #EliseStefanik. #NeverVoteConservative
Make no mistake, the violent threats, the AstroTurf fake “protests”, the organized agitators amongst groups of people fed a steady diet of disinformation & propaganda, is not an accident. Deliberately inflaming social stressors, is a tactic of the Right:
Please take note of this. These are ops. The fake #WEcharity manufactured “scandal”, the steady malign influence operations using 3rd party front groups. This is dark politics. #CPC’s use of vicious far right tactics, doesn’t lead anywhere good. #Elxn44#NeverVoteConservative
I urge everyone to lodge a complaint with @amazon & @amazonca for selling this disgusting product, encouraging violence. This isn’t “free speech” this is deliberately trying to provoke the type of violence we all saw during #January6thInsurrection. #elx44#NeverVoteConservative
The thing about this type of violence is that once it’s unleashed, it becomes it’s own monster.
On #NeverPoilievre’s website, on the first page, is a link to propaganda from a known Kremlin mouth piece & white nationalist, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa. Even RW propaganda site #PostMillennial fired Dzsurdzsa. Once again, PP dog whistles to far right extremists & 🇷🇺. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia
Who then hired this far right Kremlin mouth piece? #TrueNorthCentre, a pro Poilievre registered “charity” front operation, spreading disinformation disguised as “news”. #CdnDisinfo #cdnmedia #CdnMediaCrisis #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative
#TrueNorthCentre played a pivotal role in ousting Erin O’Toole, pushing PP, & spreading #FluTruxKlan destabilization op propaganda as well as promoting Kremlin talking points & pro Kremlin political figures like #ChristineAnderson. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre
On this New Year’s Day 2024, let’s look back on 2023, a year in review of some of the more notable propaganda campaigns that misled the public, using both legacy/corporate media & social media. 🧵
#NewYear2024 #AYearInReview #cdnmedia #cdnpoli #Goodbye2023 #CdnDisinfo
Let’s start with recent history. The appalling partisanship & lack of critical thinking, in addition to a willingness to comply, with the foreign ops of authoritarians like Modi, laid bare (again) our #CdnMediaCrisis. Then silence when more evidence came to light. #cdnpoli
Of course, one of the biggest ops of 2023 was the Chinese interference story. Picking off off LPC MPs in key ridings, appeared to be an aim, using unassessed unknown confidence intel, leaked by partisans. #cdnmedia played such a starring role, @MarkBourrie called it #CoupByMedia
The political right is an anti-democratic movement. They collude, network, share donors, strategies, dirty tricks, ways to cheat, propaganda/disinformation networks, lies. Stephen Harper’s #IDU co-chair, indicted in Georgia in Trump/#GOP attempts to overthrow democracy. #cdnpoli
#Conservatives & #Republicans have been using, sharing and colluding for years. #IDU #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli https://t.co/4edSAIeQJFthetyee.ca/Analysis/2019/…
That time Andrew Scheer was super cagey and evasive about indicted Trump co-conspirator, Mike Roman, being part of his team.
PP calling #CBC “Trudeau Liberal propaganda”, had 2 objectives: to discredit CBC when holding Polievre #CPC to account AND to make CBC second guess any positive stories about Trudeau & #LPC. @CBC obliges with stories like this. #cdnpoli#cdnmedia
By the way, the Jamaican trip was a Xmas vacation. So why is this a “top story” that prominently quotes #NevrePoilievre? @CBCRadioCanada@CBCNews, care to explain?
#Cdnmedia: it’s time to decide whether you are on the side of democracy or on the side of dismantling it. #cdnpoli
🧵Musk’s attack on #CBC at the behest of #PierrePoilievreIsAFascist & #CPC, is all about FI. It is a foreign billionaire putting his fist on the scale in what amounts to a public square, to upend democracy & spread propaganda. While Musk carries water for authoritarian regimes…
When a Chinese official made this request of Musk & Twitter,
Musk had these warnings removed from Chinese state propaganda (directed at an English speaking audience, similar to RT). While their pages still say “state-affiliated media”, the warning on links has been removed.
