Thruout the 2019 federal elxn, I tried to press then-leader of the Conservative Party Andrew Scheer about his party's ties to the self-styled "Imam of Peace," friend and ally of white supremacists and enthusiastic promoter of the "white genocide/replacement" conspiracy. #cdnpoli
Neither Tawhidi's proud endorsement of/by extremists known for influencing white supremacist terrorists, nor his obsessive demonizing of Muslims, were enough to prompt hesitation by those in govt about embracing/amplifying him. #cdnpoli
I'd love to know where those vying for the Conservative Party's leadership stand on this, and about what, if anything, has changed within their party re: Tawhidi and others like him.

What, if anything, has been learned? Be specific. #cdnpoli
So, are you still good friends with Tawhidi? For years you've been silent as he targeted Muslim women, spread vile conspiracies - incl the one embraced by the Buffalo shooter - and literally toured with notorious white supremacists. #cdnpoli

Further to the above, and for those unaware: #cdnpoli
This is recent stuff, and while MRG would like to be praised for her situational bursts of moral clarity, she doesn't deserve a pass here. #cdnpoli
#cdnpoli
So, @patrickbrownont, would people like Tawhidi remain welcome in your party should you win the leadership?

Do you have concerns about your campaign co-chair's record of choosing to look the other way if/when such vile and dangerous rhetoric comes from a friend? #cdnpoli
This sort of thing means nothing if, internally, you've no problem with those who tolerate it. #cdnpoli

"The cost of living crisis has driven parents to traffic their own children" is an insane conclusion to draw, to say nothing of your reason for survivors' silence.

Given your admirable part in studying abuse in sport, I know you know better. What are you doing here, and why?Image
Which brings me back to this.

Smarten up, everyone.

See the disappointing change in approach + rhetoric from @mferreriptbokaw who, as this shows, knows better and is better than how she presents above.
Given the good work you've already done, why debase yourself and let down every survivor who trusted you? Image

Half the population in Gaza—one million, at least—are children.

This sweeping act of indiscriminate retribution violates international law, is morally indefensible, and punishes innocent civilians—men, women, the elderly, and children alike—for Hamas’ terrorism.
The bloodthirsty celebrations of this ill-conceived act of collective punishment/revenge are as depraved as the celebrations or justifications of Hamas’ sadistic terrorist operation against Israelis.

In both cases, civilians are the ones made to suffer most.
Civilians have become nothing but collateral damage to those in power.

Hi @PierrePoilievre, might not go over well w the Save Canada scene you threw a bone to yesterday with your belated supportive comment on their anti-LGBT marches/rallies couched in "parental rights," but here they are again in their true form.
Worthy of condemnation, no? #cdnpoli
@PierrePoilievre If you're going to continually play footsie with the fringe, Conservatives, eventually the feigned shock — shock! — at stuff like this is going to wear thin.

Though I'd argue it already has.
Image
Or keep doing stuff like this—the anti-Zelenskyy scene is rife with rabid conspiracy-mongering about (((globalists)))—then lashing out when called on it.

To those who boast of rising poll numbers: Yes, we know societal well-being isn't your priority.

Quite a few of those who fashion themselves warriors against "groomers" and sexual predation are fanboying over Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate, and Musk's amplification of them.
If you are naïve enough to believe that those who hype this interview, or continue to stan any of those involved, are sincerely concerned about sex trafficking, opposed to sexual exploitation, or invested in combating sex crimes, there's a seat reserved for you on Epstein's jet. Image

The doc is an ideological effort that could be mistaken for a typically shallow and dishonest Tucker Carlson production.

The work from precisely who you'd expect: "Someone who propagates and monetizes misinformation, cultural grievance and social media mob mentality." #cdnpoli https://t.co/juZixvfOhI

Ben Perrin, former advisor to Stephen Harper, calls out @PierrePoilievre's shamelessly dishonest and inflammatory effort to discredit evidence-based substance-use policy, particularly RX opioid treatment for managing and overcoming addiction. #cdnpoli https://t.co/QdJu8S5dkl
