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

2/

Between Strauss, Baber (see thread embedded here for more) and Lewis (see next tweet), the RFK Jr is strong in this party.

1/ Trump's war on the AP, combined with his wider efforts to undermine, discredit, and punish the free press/credible journalists while embracing and rewarding pro-regime sycophants, mirrors the well-established strategy of Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada. Image
Image
Image
2/ Should he become Prime Minister and lead a Conservative govt, should we expect Poilievre to abuse his power and mirror Trump?

See this thread of threads x.com/a_picazo/statu… and the one embedded here x.com/a_picazo/statu… here for further background/documentation. Image
3/ Juno Media, co-founded by Candice Malcolm (mendacious wife of Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian, former Conservative staffer) and Keean Bexte (former Conservative staffer + party delegate, frequent fabulist + disinfo merchant) given priority access.
America shows where this road leads. Image

I'm sorry, he "sidesteps culture wars?"

No, he does not.

More here: x.com/a_picazo/statu… and here x.com/a_picazo/statu… and here x.com/a_picazo/statu… for starters.

Also, his entire campaign is literally Verb the Noun. Three word slogans. That's the approach. x.com/clairlemon/sta…Image

Image
Image
Also: x.com/a_picazo/statu… and x.com/a_picazo/statu… and x.com/a_picazo/statu…

The Trudeau govt has reached its natural end, and the Conservatives just happen to be the only viable alternative, and Poilievre happens to be the leader at an opportune time. Image
Image
Image
Then there's who whole war on the media shtick.

See x.com/a_picazo/statu… and x.com/a_picazo/statu… for a glimpse of that.

"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.
Image
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.
