Why does @PierrePoilievre @cpc_hq lead the torches & pitchforks mob, shrieking about China’s interference in Canada, while silent on, and denying any investigation into, US and Russian interference which likely exceeds anything China’s doing? Look at who the players are… 1/

China, the godless peril, is and has been, number one demon to be feared and destroyed by evangelical right-wing fundamentalist Christian sects. Communist China represents in every way, what those sects hate and fear. No wonder then, that political parties 2/

…politically and ideologically aligned with Christianity find common cause using China as the fulcrum of fear-mongering and rage-farming.

Contrast, then, the attitude of those same Christian sect-infested parties like @CPC_HQ @gop to Russia 3/

…and it’s autocratic, orthodox Christian white-supremacist, anti-Semitic regime. Canadian and US RWNJs are happy to set aside the fears and realities of Russia’s geographic ambitions to ally themselves comfortably with the religious ideological culture. That’s how 4/

@PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ find commonality and mutual interest, hence cross-pollination of Canadian conservatives appearing on US right wing news outlets, and those US outlets happily fanning the flames of disinformation about Canada and the elected government, 5/

…welcome the likes of German hard right wing neo-NAZI Christine Anderson on her week-long cross-Canada tour, meeting with the hard right militant convoyers and Christian fundamentalists like @LeslynLewis . Then there’s @stephenharper @idualliance the out-in-the-open engine 6/

…global right wing activist organization which stated goal is to elect ie interfere in - right wing governments everywhere, characterized by its alignment with and support for Trump, Modi, Orban, Bolsonaro, Duterte. Given Harper’s role as eminence grise for @CPC_HQ it’s clear 7/

…where their allegiances lie and explains their ideologically-driven rhetoric that foments denigration and tearing down of institutions, insurrection and sedition. Canadians can learn a lot from @cbcradio and @globeandmail exposes on the hard right in Canada. Learn and think 8/8

ps: then the full-court press of conservatism, with @stephenharper leading the charge, supported by a US right-wing terrorist that joked about killing PM Trudeau 20 ways - all on the eve of President Biden’s visit. Right-wing shrieking cacophony couldn’t be louder. 9/9 #cdnpoli
