A question everyone should be asking: WHY has #cdnmedia failed to report on one of the biggest political scandals in decades. O’Toole & #CPC colluded w/ #Conservative premiers to delay implementing covid measures until after #elxn44vote. People died as a result #CovidInquiryNow
The very next day after #elxn44vote, #JasonKenney shuffles Shandro, #ScottMoe flies under the radar & the UCP sends an official request to the Trudeau gov’t for help. (Because of jurisdiction the feds must be invited). Something UCP could’ve done weeks ago. #CovidInquiryNow
I’d just like to underscore this point. The letter sent by Ric McIver the day he replaced Shandro, is extremely revealing. A “State of Public Health Emergency” was declared on Sept 15, but no formal request was made to the Trudeau gov’t until immediately after #Elxn44. #ABleg
#CalgaryStampede is a huge fundraising event for #Conservatives at all levels. Public health officials warned repeatedly about removing restrictions & opening up prematurely. #UCP ignored this. The #Stampede turned into a super-spreader event. #ABleg#Elxn44#Covid19AB
There are no words for the stunning hypocrisy & gaslighting from O’Toole & #CPC. 4th wave ‘took hold’ directly as a result of #Conservative premiers lifting covid measures, not implementing vaccine passports & allowing super-spreader event that O’Toole took part in #Ableg#Elxn44
1. I’m starting a series of threads on #Project2025. It’s more than just a blueprint for destroying democracy & installing fascism. It’s a blueprint for the wholesale ravaging of the environment to benefit billionaires. Specifically, extraction industry billionaires.
The partners in #Project2025, are billionaire-backed right wing extremist front operations disguising themselves as “pro family values”, “freedom”, “choice in education” “traditional values”. When in fact, it’s about autocracy & dismantling public protections. #DemocracyInDanger
3. In this series, we’ll look at some of the partners in #Project2025. The deception & con-jobs designed to hoodwink the public. Let’s take a look at “Native Americans for Sovereignty & Preservation. This group hijacks causes & imitates topics important to Indigenous communities.
Running 74 fake spoiler candidates who don’t live, support, or even campaign, in the communities they target, is so clearly a dirty trick & an abuse of rules & norms, benefiting #Conservatives. The organizers claim to be independent, but the ridings they target tell another story
#ElectoralReform is an exploited talking point aimed mostly at the left to hive off Liberal support - always to benefit #Conservatives. It was debated & quickly got messy. It’s been used as “broken promise” propaganda ever since.
Yes, this 👇
The dirty tricks by the “extreme ballot committee” or the “longest ballot f*ckery committee” or whatever, is, and has been, spun across propaganda media. It perpetuates misinformation and propaganda. #TorontoStPaul #cdnpoli
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
