Sigh… I guess it's time for this post. #Ottawa, we need to talk about anti-trans convoy supporter Chanel Pfahl running in OCDSB Zone 8 and why we can't allow her anywhere near a school board seat. #Ottvote#Ottpoli#onpoli 1/
Chanel has already been reported on by CAHN, and in other twitter posts, but I’m going to go into some more detail here. antihate.ca/anti_transgend…
Anyways, Chanel recently tweeted out details about student support meetings for marginalized students in order to mock them because she’s a horrible person. Naturally, this got picked up by dog shampoo connoisseur Jonathan Kay.
As she is prone to do, Chanel doubled down, posting the name and picture of one of the facilitators to her homophobic and transphobic fans in order to mock their appearance and gender identity and try to stir up homophobic and transphobic rage against them. 4/
Chanel and Jonathan know exactly what they are doing - stirring up anti-trans and anti-LGBT hatred in order to raise their profile for their "anti-woke" agenda. 5/
But would you be surprised to know that this isn’t the first terrible thing Chanel has said or done?
In October 2021, notorious transphobe Billboard Chris came to town. Chanel joined him as well as Shannon Boschy for some transphobic protests outside local schools. 6/
It didn't go as well for them as they anticipated, as the community stood up to their hatred and they turned their tails and ran.
Here is Chanel pictured with Chris in Ottawa. Also, Shannon Boschy confirming that Chanel Pfahl was the third person at the protest at the high school.
Incidentally, I just searched amazon for rainbow jackboots. 8/
In fact, Chanel is still mad at Catherine McKenney over the whole thing 9/
Chanel reunited with Billboard Chris and Shannon Boschy for the convoy. Also present was Hamilton school board candidate Catherine Kronas.
Transphobia and convoy shit, it's like... what's the opposite of chocolate and peanut butter? 10/
Yep, she is definitely a convoy supporter 11/
Speaking of the convoy, one of her facebook likes is Canada's Freedom Radio, hosted by Jason Laface of Canada Unity. You remember Jason, the white supremacist convoy organizer from Sudbury, SOO member, and Ontario Party candidate. antiracistsudbury.com/2019/12/16/who… 12/
Canada Unity was the group that explicitly came to Ottawa to overthrow the government with their absurd MoU. Personally, I think anyone who supports Canada Unity has proven that they are unqualified to hold elected office. 13/
She also likes recently-evicted clown car of convoy stupidity TUPOC, because even they aren’t too embarrassing for her, as well as a smattering of far right, anti-vaxx, and convoy groups. 14/
Here she is being an anti-masker. Remember, this was back masks were still mandatory in grocery stores. I wonder what happened on or around January 31st, 2022, that inspired Chanel to start going full Karen. 15/
Chanel is a supporter of the far-right People’s Party of Canada. 16/
Naturally, you don't have to dig very deep to find her anti-trans twitter posts 17/
Chanel also dabbles in some residential school denialism, like fellow Blueprint candidate Peter Wallace.
Speaking of Blueprint, Chanel is running as a Blueprint for Canada candidate. Blueprint is an anti-trans organization set up by a convoy supporter running for school board. For more on the blueprint, see the links my previous thread on Peter Wallace. 19/
Here's some more of what Chanel and Blueprint stands for. Note that the "identify as an animal, fairy tale creature, anime character, etc." thing is based on the "litter boxes in schools" hoax that just won't die. cnn.com/2022/10/03/pol… 20/
Though the parental notice portion here is more concerning. That policy would effectively out any kid who is trans, non-binary, or just questioning their gender identity to their parents, which could harm the children if the parents are not supportive. 21/
She got the Vote Against Woke nod, but her endorsement from Campaign Life Coalition is still pending because in spite of answering all the questions "perfectly" perspective, apparently the CLC has a problem with her sexuality. Go figure. 22/
As an aside, earlier this year she asked her twitter followers if they think that homosexuality is morally wrong or sinful. The fact that she is trying to get attention by catering to a crowd of bigots, many of whom will never truly accept her because of her sexuality 23/
is actually sad and pathetic. 24/
Chanel Pfahl – anti-trans bigot, convoy supporter, and PPC supporter -- is probably the biggest threat to #Ottawa students in this election. We need to stop hate in zone 8 and keep Chanel off the board. Look into the other candidates and vote. 25/

🧵Let’s take a look at Ottawa Catholic School Board Zone 3, Paul Safi, and dig into what his Campaign Life Coalition endorsement really means. Did you know they have a different questionnaire for public and Catholic boards? #Ottawa#Ottvote 1/
At least for Ottawa, the CLC’s survey for the public school board consists of three questions, focused on parental notice about “controversial issues” like abortion, homosexuality and contraception.
These questions take the format of a dog-whistle, phrasing everything 2/
as a matter of parental rights. Of course, we know and they know what they are actually getting at, and CLC is clear that what they are really concerned with in terms of “controversial issues” is abortion, homosexuality, and contraception. But by phrasing it as 3/
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/
Attention #Markham, we need to talk about YCDSB trustee candidate Luca Mele, running in Wards 1,2,3 & 6. Luca Mele is a far-right conspiracy theorist who should not be anywhere near a school board seat. 1/
Of course, your first hint is that on his campaign website, he rants about “extreme leftist woke curriculums,” but let’s dig a little deeper. 2/
Luca has run for office before, most recently with the New Blue Party, getting a little over 2% in the 2022 provincial election. New Blue is one of two far-right splinter parties in Ontario; for more information see my previous thread on Glen Armstrong:

I wanted to stop focusing on the #RideauVanier race, but our friend Tyler is too ridiculous to ignore. He got a shout out from Rupa Subramanya yesterday, Of course, Tyler is trying to play the victim but do a terrible job of it. #Ottawa#OttVote 1/
This interaction is also illustrative of some broader tropes that we’ve seen in the convoy and in the far-right in North America, so it’s worth looking at. 2/
Here is Tyler complaining that nobody is safe from “the mob” nowadays. Remember, Tyler supported and was part of an actual mob that terrorized the people he wants to represent for three weeks straight. The gall of this guy…
