1/ 🧵#NorthCowichan #Chemainus we need to talk about town council candidate Charles Borg. Charles Borg is an anti-vaxxer, anti-masker, member of fascist organization Veterans4Freedom, and supports notorious far right extremist Jeremy MacKenzie.
Your first hint is that here he is sharing conspiratorial content about digital ID and the CCP from far-right “news” source TNC, from his official campaign facebook page. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 2/
Charles Borg recently did a video on the Veterans4Freedom facebook page where talked a little about himself. Let’s take a look. 3/
Borg is an anti-vaxxer who was drummed out of the military for refusing to take the COVID vaccine. He is also an anti-masker who refers to masks as “face diapers” 4/
Borg said that he is running in order to “take back” the councils, legislature, and House of Commons in Ottawa. 5/
Incidentally, V4F has previously issued a video where they outline their plans to gain ipower through infiltrating the government at all levels with “patriotic bureaucrats.” I’m not exaggerating when I call them fascist.
6/
Also a lot of the V4F telegram feed is just reposts from Jeremy MacKenzie (Raging Dissident) or Ferryman’s Toll, aka Alex Vriend, a neo-Nazi who as far as I know is not a veteran.

antihate.ca/holocaust_deni… 7/
A “Charles Borg” also donated $100 to the Jeremy MacKenzie legal defense fund. While in the absence of an admission or another GSG hack it is impossible to conclusively prove that these are the same people, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. 8/
Given that Charles Borg is a member of V4F, V4F is currently promoting Jeremy MacKenzie’s fundraiser, which is run by V4F steering committee member Andrew McGillvary, and “Charles Borg” is a distinctive name, this is almost certainly the same person. 9/
While this donation was made before Jeremy made the news for threatening to rape Anaida Poilievre or got arrested on a Canada-wide warrant, Jeremy is a far-right extremist with multiple weapons charges who regularly threatens people on his podcast, and who is 10/
alleged to have beat his girlfriend in Saskatchewan.

Jeremy is also the de facto leader of Diagolon. Four members of Diagolon are facing charges for conspiracy to murder RCMP officers at the Coutts blockade.
cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… 11/
Even before Jeremy made his disgusting comments about Anaida Poilievre, he was a violent extremist scumbag. #NorthCowichan council candidate Charles Borg saw this and decided to financially support him. 12/
Borg also admits to being a member of Police on Guard, another far-right organization, before he joined V4F. Interestingly, it looks like PoG scrubbed all mention of former official partner MacKenzie from their website recently. 13/
Fortunately, resistance against fascism is not futile. For residents of #NorthCowichan, it starts with making sure that extremist group member Charles Borg does not get onto city council on Oct. 15

(ok, I can't resist the Star Trek joke)

It's a new year, and while new year's resolutions are kind of bullshit, it's a good opportunity to share some tips on how to tackle fascism in 2024.

So, here's some new year's resolutions for anti-fascists! Image
2/
1. Protect yourself online

While there will always be a need for public advocates, getting doxxed sucks and can take you out of the fight.

Take some basic precautions here: communitysolidarityottawa.ca/safety-plan
3/
Take some time to delete old social media profiles, adjust privacy settings, etc. Try to doxx yourself, see what comes up, and get rid of it. The less about you online, the better.

(a good idea in general, you don't want prospective employers finding your spicy takes)

All right, let's look at results. Chanel & Shannon got told that their hatred isn't welcome by the community once again.

Shannon got less than 10% of the vote, being crushed by Lyra, who pulled 55%

Chanel came in dead last with 18%

#ottawa #ottvote #OttawaVotes
This is especially sweet as Shannon doesn't live in Zone 6, he's only running there because he's a transphobe and he wanted to specifically run against Lyra. Except he got owned once again.
Other candidates profiled did poorly tonight.

Rasha Alnaqeeb - 14%, 3/3
John Bitzan - 11%, 2/2
Maher Jebara - 27%, 2/4

In Brockville, Smiths Falls, Leeds County, you have a 3-way race between Christopher Cummings, Quentin Ferrant and David Freedom for CDSBEO

Just getting this out of the way, yes, that is his real name, I believe he legally changed it to “David Freedom” 2/ Image
Dave is a former guest on with Stand4Thee. Stand4Thee is a cult which gives out bad legal advice and constantly fails in their attempts to arrest Trudeau for treason. 3/ ImageImage

Attention #Ottawa, did you know that today, OCDSB trustee candidate Shannon Boschy will be speaking at a rally in support of "the worst school trustee in British Columbia" organized by a far right group that was recently laughed out of court?
2/ Just a warning up front, Shannon Boschy is the most vile, reprehensible human being running for school board in Ottawa so far. Not only are his views abhorrent, but he is also by all accounts a pretty terrible person, which we will have to get into.
3/ Today, OCDSB Zone 6 candidate Shannon Boschy will be speaking at the Supeme Court at a rally for embattled Chilliwack school trustree Barry Neufeld organized by Action4Canada. Other speakers include PPC leader Maxime Bernier, Campaign Life Coalition spokesperson
