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
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
