.@nationalpost is garbage. It is a propaganda rag that used to also do reporting & now only occasionally throws actual reporting in to disguise what a deception publication it is. Its attempts to carry water for #FreeDumbConvoy is a case in point. #EmergenciesActInquiry#cdnmedia
Carson Jerema is a propagandist. His job is writing propaganda “opinion” pieces, not journalism & certainly not informing the public. In fact, he misinforms the public. His claims are directly contradicted by evidence & testimony. He begrudgingly acknowledges the harm, then…
Claims the harm wasn’t sufficient. That it was somehow all under control by other levels of government, when the evidence clearly shows this was not the case. That the unwillingness & failure to act by provincial & municipal governments forced the use of #EmergenciesAct. #cdnpoli
What’s more, Jerema’s hand was already shown. Before #EmergenciesActInquiry, in spite of already available evidence, he wrote a conclusion in search of “evidence” back in August. Now in spite of even more evidence, his illogic prevails, attempting to sell his rotted assumptions.
More of Carson Jerema’s fallacious opinionating. He doesn’t even seem to know what a troll farm is. Completely misuses the term, then goes on to write a column of outlandish projection. Hilarious given that #CPC & esp #NevrePoilievre employ unprecedented use of actual troll farms
The propaganda offensive by @nationalpost given all the evidence coming out from #EmergenciesActInquiry, is truly damming. Logically fallacious opinion pieces seeking to deflect. Conclusions in search of evidence, pushing a malign influence op. Utterly disgraceful #CdnMediaFailed

Convoy funding came in via etransfer to a variety of encrypted Protonmail addresses in addition to cash & crypto. It would take an entire team of experts to “follow the money” in a forensic analysis. There is no indication from #OPP that they did this. #EmergenciesActInquiry
This was a tweet of mine from back in Jan/22. It was based on what I’d been seeing. This also applies to #ConvoyFinancing. When there’s no one traceable source of💰, forensic analysis clearly becomes more complex. Now add in laundered💰from foreign adversaries = even more complex
Child abuse occurred during #FreeDumbConvoy. Majority #CPC MPs supported & promoted this malign influence op that cost 🇨🇦billions, shuttered businesses, caused harm to residents. It should be disqualifying from holding public office. #NeverVoteConservative#EmergenciesActInquiry
Kids were used as props and human shields. They were endangered on multiple fronts by parents who believed radicalized nonsense. All used & exploited by bad faith actors like #PierrePoilievreTheCoward. It is disgraceful. #FreeDumbConvoy#EmergenciesActInquiry
The trolls and bots that showed up on this post reveal that #FreeDumbConvoy was never about truth, freedom, rights or “mandates”.
Disinformation bots & trolls are never about any of those things. Don’t engage, just report & block these toxic accounts.
As I make my way through the #EmergenciesActInquiry (& I strongly encourage everyone to listen to it themselves rather than relying on spin in #cdnmedia reports), a few things stand out.
Bylaw officers were intimidated & didn’t feel safe to do their jobs re #FreeDumbConvoy 1/
2.Tow truck companies were unwilling to risk their safety or their business & vehicles by towing the trucks, aside from tow operators who refused b/c they bought into propaganda of the occupation. (CTV’s reporting leaves out the lack of safety reasons, highlights the “sympathy”)
3. But what is most troubling perhaps, is the intelligence failures on the part of @OttawaPolice. I can’t imagine it was out of incompetence, I also can’t imagine it was because INSET, CSIS, FINTRAC didn’t provide #OPS with intel. #EmergenciesActInquiry
The lies told by #Conservatives & a supine #CdnMediaFailed around the #EmergenciesAct, is appalling on every level. Not only did virtually all #CPC MPs support an #InfoOps & destabilization operation against 🇨🇦, many were key participants. The EA was necessary as a direct 1/2
There’s a coordinated international hit job on 🇨🇦’s gov’t. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺🇨🇳 operations. The ops coming out of England may be a proxy for Russian ops amplified by England’s ever-present far right. They inauthentically trend anti-Trudeau hashtags using accelerator botnets & trolls #cdnpoli
But, as I’ve said many times, these ops are only successful when they can get real people to engage & perpetuate them. So 3k people in 🇨🇦 + 4K in 🇺🇸 + 3K in 🇬🇧 + troll factories & botnets, suddenly appears like an overwhelming movement that spurs others to believe. #CdnDisinfo
Troll networks are complex echo chambers that have steadily evolved since the early days of 🇷🇺’s Internet Research Agency. To be successful they MUST include authentic users. So a typical response from people in these malign networks is “she says I’m a bot!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣”. Um, no
