As 2022 comes to a close, here’s a brief #cdnpoli year in review. In January/22 we saw the launch of a destabilization op (that just *happened* to coincide with the lead up to Putin’s attack on #Ukraine). #FreeDumbConvoy #FluTruxKlan

#FluTruxKlan #FreeDumbConvoy was pushed hard by multiple malign players & boosted by inauthentic activity, including by foreign threat actors. #Cdnpoli #CdnpoliYearInReview #goodbye2022

Feb/22 #NevrePoilievre officially launched his “prime minister” bid using #FluTruxKlan op, even though we’d just had an election months earlier & O’Toole was still #CPCldr.

Early 2022 also saw an increased role of 🇬🇧 disinformation (which in itself may be proxy for 🇷🇺ops), amplifying ops targeted 🇨🇦 & Trudeau. #FreeDumbConvoy #FluTruxKlan #InfoOps #cdnpoli #CdnpoliYearInReview

Many noticed the incredible uptick in inauthentic activity targeting 🇨🇦 & using the deception of this RW inauthentic activity in propaganda operations. #cdnpoli #CdnpoliYearInReview #FluTruxKlan #FreeDumbConvoy

Also by Feb/22, it became ever more clear the network of malign players involved in seeking to destabilize 🇨🇦’s federal gov’t. #NevrePoilievre & #CdnDisinfo media continued to play a starring role along with 🇺🇸 insurrectionists. #CdnpoliYearInReview

Speaking of foreign malign players amplifying & participating in #FluTruxKlan, #GOP high-profilers made themselves very visible in this op (while also peddling Kremlin disinfo re #Ukraine): #JackPosobiec, #MikeFlynn, #SteveBannon, #RogerStone, #TuckerCarlson #TedCruz & others.

Some more on #JackPosobiec:

#TuckerCarlson: (this was just a quick grab. There are endless ways Carlson & Fox promoted #FluTruxKlan)

By the summer of 2022, #FluTruxKlan hadn’t gone away. It merely morphed into an ongoing #FreeDumbConvoy attempt at a far right insurgency. “Camp Eagle” was a case in point. #CdnpoliYearInReview #cdnpoli

In July/22 we also saw another #FreeDumbConvoy offshoot come into the spotlight: #TUPOC or #TUPC. Their shady occupation of St Brigid’s in Lowertown #Ottawa raised a lot of questions. #CdnpoliYearInReview #cdnpoli

By Sept/22 some very disturbing patterns became clearer. The problem with radicalized members of law enforcement & military personnel, is a danger that MUST be addressed in 2023 or we can expect more subterfuge ahead. #CdnpoliYearInReview #cdnpoli @rcmpgrcpolice @csiscanada

Meanwhile, Pierre Polievre’s endless campaigning continued. Backed by the trickery of front groups to get around scrutiny of who is paying for PP’s relentless output of propaganda. The use of a Cambridge Analytica strategy, was notable

The fall of 2022 brought us #EmergenciesActInquiry #POEC. Much was revealed during the inquiry, including some deeply disturbing failures, such as a shockingly ridiculous “intelligence” report from @OttawaPolice. #CdnpoliYearInReview #cdnpoli

https://twitter.com/heathermoandco/status/1585630057573519360

November/22 #EmergenciesActInquiry continued. Will @POECommission look outside the box? For example, looking at ways threat actors & proxies use to evade scrutiny? Eg, ‘backing’ was used to amplify #FreeDumbConvoy ops & individuals

In November, @RVAwonk hosted a talk where she outlined how Russian state media, RT, amplified ‘trucker’ ops, then #FoxNews appeared to immediately pick up where RT left off.

Closing out #CdnpoliYearInReview we come to December/22. #ElonIsDestroyingTwitter was in full swing. Musk allowed #NeoNazis, known disinformationists,Trump & other malignant figures, back on the platform, while amplifying RW propaganda & conspiracy theories.

#CdnpoliYearInReview

#elonmusktwitter is a #NatSec threat. This will only continue in 2023 if nothing is done. Musk is the willing frontman for Saudi, Qatari, Chinese & Russian money backing his Twitter “ownership”.
