So of course #NationalPost publishes an article by a white Conservative who absolutely mischaracterizes what people are saying. NO ONE is saying not to investigate lest it inflame anti-Asian hate. We are saying this op exploits anti-Asian hate. #CdnMediaFailed #cdnpoli
Note Leuprecht’s strategic use of the word “elites”. #Cdnmedia #CdnMediaFailed #cdnpoli
As for “cozying up to Beijing”, no one has done that more than #Conservatives. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #CdnMediaFailed
More “cozying up to Beijing” by #Conservatives.

I’m re-upping some recent 🧵 in light of more reckless reporting from Sam Cooper @globalnews. Cooper’s recent piece does not cite A SINGLE actionable piece of evidence. Nor is there ANY mention of the degree of confidence of the intelligence or whether it had even been assessed.
2 leakers disseminate selected intelligence of unknown confidence to Fife & Cooper, 2 reporters the leakers knew would do exactly what was predicable. The groupthink inability to employ critical reasoning from within #CdnMediaFailed, ensued. #cdnpoli
The one leaker wrote an op-ed in which the leaker’s political agenda, self-righteousness & sanctimony, were revealed.
Again I will say, there hasn’t been any actionable evidence put forward at any time from @globalnews or @globeandmail. #CdnMediaColludes #cdnpoli

20 years ago, Colin Powell addressed the UN Security Council to make a case for war. Serving as the frontman for Bush’s admin, to convince the world of the dangers of Iraq & WMDs.

Powell believed what he was saying, based on what? Intelligence provided to him #Cdnpoli #CdnNatSec ImageImageImageImage
That faulty intelligence had been assessed, & yet, it was a lie that had catastrophic effects on the world. Cost over $1.2 T 💵. A million lives lost.
Today in 🇨🇦 we have a far less catastrophic, yet still important, peddling of intelligence - of unknown confidence. #CdnNatSec Image
We are to accept as fact documents shown to handpicked reporters. From an unknown source getting labeled a “whistleblower”, when that is not what this is. A leaker is not a whistleblower. They do not receive whistleblower protections. #cdnpoli #CdnNatSec ImageImageImage

So yesterday I was fed a story in my news app that enraged me. #Cdnmedia is in a crisis. The rank inability to employ logical reasoning, the pushing of a narrative for political ends, is not reporting. It is propaganda & it misinforms the public, not the opposite. #cdnpoli ImageImage
It was more shockingly poor reporting on Chinese interference, implying a connection where no factual evidence is provided. Merely a faulty attempt to draw conclusions without substantiating anything. Just garbage reporting. #CdnmediFailed #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
The article even admits it has no evidence, merely wild speculation implying that the drop in #Conservative votes is due to a vague implication of Chinese interference. Chiu lost & because he lives in a RW bubble, imagines that it must be “interference”…#CdnMediaFailed #cdnpoli ImageImage

Everything Polievre does is bad faith. He is the most unfit opposition leader in Canadian history, Even more than the other astoundingly unfit choices like Scheer. He represents the dangerous & malicious degradation of the political right & its threat to democracy. #cdnpoli ImageImage
@CTVNews’ promotion of #NevrePoilievre was on full display last night immediately following the Oscars, where PP was featured off the top implying Trudeau is responsible for airport delays 🤦‍♀️. The framing of political hit job stories in #cdnmedia isn’t news & it’s concerning.
A couple of things about this absolutely toxic tweet. What ‘law breaking’? None. #NevrePoilievre has manufactured “broken laws” & “treason”. This is such reckless toxic rhetoric. It is fascistic. Notice his constant nonstop data mining off his lies as well. #WomenAgainstPoilievre Image

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
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.

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
