The political right has weaponized public health response to a global pandemic of a novel & mutating virus that will continue to put devastating stress levels on healthcare systems & HCWs. #BringBackMasks#COVIDIsAirborne#CovidIsntOver
#SARSCoV2 is neurotrophic. It damages the brain as well as other organs in the body. Catching #COVIDIsAirborne, must be avoided if at all possible. You will not be better off for catching it. Instead, you run the risk of long term consequences. #BringBackMasks#CovidIsntOver
Arguments made by #antivaxxers, #AntiMaskers & others who peddle disinformation = saying that getting HIV/AIDS during the AIDS crisis, was a good idea for “herd immunity”.

“Rebel News” is funded by #DarkMoney, in spite of always crying poor. A key source of this dark money? Well, ask yourselves: why is Rebel a constant source of Kremlin propaganda? Not just recently. Remember this from 2018? pressprogress.ca/ezra-levants-r…#Cdnmedia#CdnDisinfo#cdnpoli
Fast forward to before & since, #RussianInvasionOfUkraine. So-called “Rebel” so-called “News” has become a constant vector of 🇷🇺disinfo & propaganda. Including the role both played in #FluTruxKlan op. #cdnpoli
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
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.
NO NO NO. The reason the #EmergenciesAct was invoked was because things WERE NOT resolving. They were becoming entrenched. Children and Ottawa residents were increasingly at risk. #EmergencyActInquiry
The political right & malign actors, including adversaries like 🇷🇺& 🇨🇳, used public health measures as a means to sow toxicdisinformation & weaponize the public via social media manipulation in order to destabilize democracies. This was not a “protest”. #EmergencyActInquiry#POEC
If the #CPC opposition weren’t such manifestly bad faith actors, that were participants in #FluTruxKlan destabilization operation, then perhaps things wouldn’t have gotten so out of hand. Provincial & fed #Conservatives WANTED this destructive chaos. #EmergencyActInquiry#POEC
Giving people like James Bauder a platform to spew his delusional nonsense & then listen to him rationalize it all with religion…because “Christian”, is at once tedious & exhausting. #EmergenciesActInquiry#POEC#FreeDumbConvoy#CanadaUnity
Just like Pat King, Bauder - who spews the most vicious lies & hate about Liberals, esp Trudeau, is complaining about he has been “defamed” and “viciously attacked by this government”. Then he goes on to defend his MOU. #EmergenciesActInquiry#POEC#FreeDumbConvoy
1. Something that repeatedly struck me listening to #EmergenciesActInquiry testimony. References kept being made about the huge followings the convoy organizers had on social media. There are many ways foreign adversaries & “foreign actors” can give in-kind ‘donations’ #CdnNatSec
2. “Backing” is one way of giving covert assistance to operations like #FluTruxKlan. Troll factory operations of threat actors can “back” social media accounts, boosting their megaphone & exploiting algorithms so that many people view these accounts as important. @POECommission
3. 1,000s of 🤖 can be used to bridge groups together, creating complex networks that appear organic, but are not. Once these networks are formed, an echo-chamber follows. Disinformation is then fed into the network. This is a malign “donation” that ultimately translates into💰.
