1/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Elxn44

Since Zelda went into hiding over violent protests that terrorized hospitals & Liberal campaign stops, participants scurried to find new places to organize & a 🇨🇦 companion to Parler has emerged

This #thread is RE partisan #violence & how it's paid for
2/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

There's been much ado trying to insulate Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole from the vulgar & violent uprising surrounding right-wing causes during the election

But on #Aug23 the CPC posted propaganda that specifically invoked violence as a motto
3/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

The full Conservative ad shows a boxer punching forward & that was uncivilized enough

For those who use dark theme, xray, or colour inversion display (for style or visual disability), the violence was quite amplified

►archive.is/1LtVy
4/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Within one minute of the violent Conservative Party post, partisans responded with a photo of the Liberal prime minister getting punched in the mouth, suggesting the campaign should use it

►archive.is/F8yif
5/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Elxn44

On #Aug27 (four days after the Conservative ad appeared), #violence erupted in #Bolton, Ontario & shutdown Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's campaign stop

I discovered that spectacle was partly organized by court staff & CPC
6/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

I spoke with a family that attended the (subsequently cancelled) #Bolton rally

"Child abuse" was screamed at the mother & baby, because the toddler was wearing a #COVID19 mask (too young to vax)

Fists were pumping as spit sprayed everywhere
7/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

On the same day CPC Leader Erin O'Toole took a question from Andrew Lawton & True North

True North is a far-right charity that supports Trump
►archive.is/5HNEW

And Lawton is infamous
►archive.is/Asxqp

8/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

In the placebo interview with his far-right fans, Erin O'Toole proceeded to sow #disinformation that could genuinely cause the #2Michaels to face a #DeathPenalty in #China

This is what Conservative-backed media has done:
9/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

There's a severe crisis in #CDNmedia that is preventing the Fourth Estate from fulfilling its democratic purpose

Media operatives
►archive.is/tC9cy
Conflict of interest
►archive.is/rSjIC
Conflicts con't
►archive.is/kVa07#selectio…
10/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Instead of ethically managing these conflicts of interest, voters have been punished for complaining about partisan meddling
►archive.is/tC9cy

And they've found no recourse, as partisans steer social media too
►archive.is/NwjJj
11/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

At the same time 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 right-wing interests have purchased 95% of #CDNmedia, O'Toole is campaigning to end #CBC & placing its journos under duress during the writ to muddy the prospect of independence & accountability

12/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

As a result of widespread partisan meddling in #CDNmedia, organizers of these violent #HateClub events are being dubiously protected by a captured industry that has resorted to endangering fellow journos who speak out

13/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Making matters worse, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole attacked a female journo at #CBC directly, a female candidate of Muslim heritage, & women of colour, culminating in a threat to "hang" those of Liberal persuasion

14/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Is it any wonder the #HateClub militia would attend Liberal events with placards depicting the prime minister being marched to a fatal noose? Or why racism is out of control?

These are death fantasies CPC is peddling

15/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

When political leaders adopt a violent message it spills into communities beyond the electoral bubble

Now women of colour are assaulted for going shopping, police refuse to help & give bad advice to protect assailant

►archive.is/WcPbQ
16/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Elxn44

By #Aug29 the Facebook #HateClub scattered, in search of another place to plot against PMJT's security & organize Covid-denying protests in the name of 'freedom' to threaten docs, nurses, patients, media, & politicians

►archive.is/i5zMF
17/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

That's when Norbert Orlewicz popped out of the woodwork to attack another female journo (16/24) & draw attention to his #Librti website as a Canadian companion to the American-insurrectionist-Parler

(Twitter profile)
►archive.is/P1xgS
18/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

The #Librti far-right community is fond of Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre & Conservative journo Brian Lilley (who's in another political-media conflict of interest with partisan staff)

They also slander Liberal Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland
19/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Within the #Librti community, members recruit active law enforcement to their anti-Liberal cause across the entire country, to help save violent protesters from becoming arrested by encouraging police/military to commit insubordination/treason
20/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

By #Sept1 Zelda's Facebook #HateClub, Norbert's #Librti grp, & defiant Twitter nurses plotted the countrywide mayhem

PPC colludes
►archive.is/L2KAP
Hospital harm
►archive.is/sn2GI
Guns for good measure
►archive.is/bqOIo
21/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

So how does one cover the cost of terrorizing mothers, children, people of colour, doctors, nurses, patients, EMS, senior citizens, reluctant media, & Liberal politicians... in the name of 'freedom'?

At #Librti, they sell swag
22/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

But it wouldn't be a true Canadian film noire w/o Ezra Levant's far-right Rebel Media (that cheers Trump & neo-Nazis in Charlottesville) getting in on the action

On #Sept1 they dubbed the chaos #ElectConservatives™

►archive.is/xfs1j
23/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

And wouldn't you know that Rebel Media's #ElectConservatives™ sells swag to fund its partisan endeavours too

Family values: intimidation
►archive.is/KcB1C
Climate denial, guns
►archive.is/Y4PMA
Store
►archive.is/7p7R8
24/24 🧵#CDNpoli #Violence #Elxn44

Finally, it invites the question if election campaigns could launder donations through these storefronts

If #CBC has recourse for the theft of its logo
►archive.is/0osox

Or if these slogans are appropriate for newborns & toddlers

1/20🧵 I have some pretty big news to share #Thread #CDNpoli

I finally have all my specialized test results & it's much worse than anyone hoped or predicted. My life is going to be cut rather short due to physical complications with cancer & political complications with #Covid19
2/20 🧵#CDNpoli #Cancer #COVID19

In the past 2 months, my lung cancer tumor has already grown. But yesterday we finally learned why I was falling & what injured my leg & back to make them so painful & too weak to walk anymore

I don't just have lung cancer. There's more...
3/20🧵#CDNpoli #Cancer #COVID19

In addition to the lung tumor, my left leg & hip are riddled with cancer. It began in my right leg too. All lymph nodes have cancer. Two spots in my spine have cancer (T5 & T12). Cancer in my left rib & right shoulder. 3 tumors in my liver as well

1/16🧵 A #thread on how badly #CDNmedia is crippled by substituting journalism with public relations amid concentrated, consolidated, & political ownership

This isn't just about revenue, though the Canada Revenue Agency (#CRA) will serve as this week's textbook example (con't)
2/16🧵 #CDNmedia #CDNpoli #CRA

Yesterday you might've seen this vanilla story about Revenue Canada taking its site offline for some miscellaneous 'global #security vulnerability'

It was a whole lot of 'everything's fine' & 'nothing to see here' #InfoSec

archive.md/H0K1T
3/16🧵 #CDNpoli #CRA

That story was written by Canadian Press, that now funds reporters via Facebook corporate sponsorship in an official & ongoing #CDNmedia alliance

It was published without a byline at 11pm on Saturday night (when few would see it) & syndicated by Global News

1/9🧵 It's grievous #CDNmedia won't do its job so it appears I'm betraying my gender for contributing the facts

But problem with this narrative is they're omitting the part where Chu met the girl at a bar & that's what everything hinges on due to Supreme Court precedent #Thread
2/9🧵 Reason it matters that Chu met her at a drinking establishment is because Supreme Court ruled it's reasonable to ascertain someone is an adult, due to the pub's legal onus to check IDs to permit entry. Chu can't be prosecuted for luring a minor since she misrepresented age
3/9🧵 Now, with the amount of people who don't know the first thing about #CDNlaw + #CDNmedia failing its due diligence to inform, everyone is hopping on a political bandwagon to seek vengeance & claim the system is completely broken

💥This discourages women from reporting💥

1/17 🧵#CDNpoli #InfoSec #CDNmedia

To friends, a cautious warning; to nefarious actors, you're put on notice & the radar of #NatSec

During the writ my bank account was hacked repeatedly, likely to gain insight RE who might be paying me

On #Elxn44 day, $3,000 was stolen
2/17 🧵#InfoSec #CDNmedia

Soon after the #Elxn44 writ dropped, multiple IP addresses began #hacking my bank account

According to bank security (that happens to be the HQ for all #CDNpoli banking #NatSec security), every attack arose from @Rogers/@RogersHelps accounts
3/17 🧵#CDNpoli #InfoSec #CDNmedia

And by no means was it even typical hacking. It's the type that put #NatSec on full alert because it compromised bank security as well as my own security & overrode all the safeguards that banks have in place

Please let me explain...

1/24 🧵#CDNpoli

Expect this news will make most of you uncomfortable. Plz let me begin with a declaration that the #ClimateCrisis is real & requires immediate action

But you've also heard me address conflict of interest in #CDNmedia & this #thread has serious legal implications
2/24 🧵#CDNpoli #CDNmedia

It's outrageously serendipitous that #Huawei's Meng Wanzhou signed a plea deal today, the #2Michaels are coming home from China, & that Grimes is reporting marital troubles with Elon Musk

Could've never imagined those topics would intertwine like this
3/24 🧵#CDNpoli

When it comes to conflicts of interest in #CDNmedia my criticisms are not partisan

For #J_school legal reasons it has always been imperative for journos to decline reporting on people or matters that involve them & to ethically disclose when that isn't avoidable

1/34 🧵#CDNpoli #SLAPP

I've received a threatening letter from lawyers on behalf of @MercedesGlobal & @GlobalNews to prevent me from speaking about Stephenson's role in #CDNmedia as the wife of Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole's #Elxn44 director

This #thread is my response
2/34 🧵#CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn44

I will not comply with demands made in bad faith by @GlobalNews & @MercedesGlobal, nor will I shrink from unfounded #SLAPP allegations that are libelous against me. I ask that you cease & desist with this harassment. Here are my reasons (con't):
3/34 🧵#CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn44

On the 1st page of your error-laden defamation notice, you claim that I've caused @GlobalNews & @MercedesGlobal "serious damage" but fail to state any negative consequences & fail to provide evidence of damage

Is Elections Canada investigating?
