A reality we all need to wake up to. We’re living in an information war that’s only going to accelerate. 🇨🇳,🇷🇺 & the political right, along with other malign actors, are waging this war. 🇨🇦 has a naive, gullible &/or complicit #cdnmedia that far too often, falls for #InfoOps.

The AI technology is only going to become more sophisticated. The West is failing to recognize & keep up with the mass scale manipulation & information warfare threatening democracies around the world. #cdnpoli #InfoOps #CdnNatSec
Key import points from the @nytimes article. nytimes.com/2023/02/07/tec…

Bad actors will claim attempts to increase accountability, are curbing “free speech”. We’ve seen this with #GOP & #CPC, especially Polievre. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #CdnDisinfo #CdnNatSec

I’m getting sick of this propaganda amplified on the left. Imagining a dictator committing genocide & war crimes will happily cooperate if just allowed to keep some of the invaded territory, is nonsense. Peak Neville Chamberlain, only worse. We’ve seen how this plays out #Ukraine Image
It is also utter nonsense that Putin launched his genocidal war because “NATO”. This is a version of the excuses made for rapists. Coming up with all manner of ways to muddy who is to blame. Russia is responsible for its murderous acts, not counties looking to protect themselves.
As many have pointed out, it’s the bargain of the century to help #Ukraine defeat a mafia state committing war crimes. We spent WAY more💰& lost Canadian lives in Afghanistan without justification. Putin being appeased rather than stopped, means emboldening murderous dictators.

1. Pulling together my recent🧵s on this latest #Cdnmedia China saga that has much broader implications re #CdnNatSec, political operatives, breaking the law to leak to journalists with political motives.

Remember who #RobertFife is.
Fife implied China had the ability to choose 🇨🇦’s government right down to whether majority or minority. Utterly reckless nonsense. Of course, Fife offered not one single shred of factual evidence. #Cdnpoli #CdnMediaFailed
3. The reporting on this story is off & there is so much that is suspect. Resurfacing allegations that are not new. Why? Why now? By whom?#POECreport #FluTruxKlan #ChristineAnderson #Cdnpoli #cdnmedia

Something else in this CSIS/Fife story, doesn’t pass the smell test & once again, demonstrates #CdnMediaFailed. Who keeps being interviewed by @globalnews & others? None other than Richard Fadden. The former Harper appointee of @csiscanada, later Harper NatSec advisor. #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
Richard Fadden was also Harper’s Deputy Minister of National Defence from 2013 to 2015. He was also Harper’s Associate Secretary to the Cabinet.

Fadden was also Harper’s Deputy Minister of Citizenship & Immigration Canada from 2006 to 2009. #cdnpoli #CdnNatSec ImageImageImage
As we all know, there is zero chance that Harper would have anyone in his tight inner circle appointed to multiple positions without being a #Conservative partisan, which Fadden is. He worked closely with Jason Kenney (particularly), Vic Toews & Peter Van Loan also. #cdnpoli Image

I very much agree with this important point from Stephanie Carvin. Something is off here. Also, what’s behind resurfacing a nearly 3.5 year old allegation? This doesn’t pass the smell test for me. #cdnpoli #CdnNatSec #cdnmedia @csiscanada
Dong defeated current #CPC comms director, Sarah Fisher, in the 2019 election in question. You may know Fischer from her vocal support of the #FluTruxKlan destabilization operation that cost 🇨🇦 billions & provided a-bombs of disinformation to the political right, including 🇷🇺&🇨🇳.
Another thing, as @dadinthe6 pointed out. This alleged “help” by PRC, came 8 months after 🇨🇳 vowed retaliation against 🇨🇦’s Liberal gov’t for the detention of Meng Wenzhou? cbc.ca/news/meng-wanz…
The Trump admin requested the detention of MZ, 🇨🇦’s then AG, JWR, complied #cdnpoli

There’s a saying in Germany: (paraphrasing) If you see a Nazi sitting at a table with 10 people, you’re looking at a table of 11 Nazis.

#cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative Image
So of course trolls showed up pushing Russian disinformation. 🙄 ImageImage

Elon Musk is seriously the stupidest man alive. Just a sociopathic conman who amplifies the most heinous garbage & adds to it by lying. NO, Alexander was NOT “put in jail”. He’s a little fascist who disrupted everyone else’s learning with his entitlement & bigotry. #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
If you missed the story, entitled little fascist, Josh Alexander, created multiple disturbances in his school using trans kids as his punching bag & publicity stunt opportunity. Disinfo media & accounts then repeated the propaganda to further scapegoat trans. #cdnpoli #CdnDisinfo ImageImageImageImage
Here’s Josh Alexander appearing with neo-Nazi grifter, #ChristineAnderson, on her recent Canadian grift disinformation tour. Because of course he did. Both scapegoat & lie about Muslim & trans people. #CdnDisinfo #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
