The only propaganda that can be more effective than lies is truth.
I can only control my own actions, not how others react to what I say, do, or show.

Outside a few trusted confidantes, it is irrelevant from my perspective who supports/denounces me on any given day.

I am loyal to values, not strangers.

The court of public opinion is fickle.
Fanatics want you to doubt your own sense of right and wrong in service of a “higher cause,” i.e. shielding one’s in-group from scrutiny or accountability.

Hypocrisy erodes even the most noble intentions.

MPP Joel Harden allegedly got punched in the face at yesterday’s protest.

Here, he stands by while his comrade shoves a noisemaker in my ear.

Physically violent behaviour occurs on a spectrum, and none of it should be normalized.

I am consistent in my positions.

Constant truck honking during the convoy/occupation was painful, and fairly described as a violent tactic.

The same applies to this red contraption which was deployed in a targeted way.

That’s MPP Joel Harden hiding his face beside the culprit.
Honking during the convoy is distinguishable based on the duration and frequency of noise— a dull ache that worsens over time.

But the red contraption caused acute physical discomfort in a way that was almost debilitating— a sharp pain that is all-encompassing in the moment. Image

The Trial of Jeremy MacKenzie:

Application for Disclosure
For the record, I am not (and never have been) Jeremy MacKenzie’s defence counsel.

My attendance at the Public Order Emergency Commission was to provide expert advice on the convoy to JM’s lawyer, Sherif Foda.

There is no conflict in my legal reporting on today’s proceedings.
What can I say?

I follow smoke to find fire.

And boy, these flames are impossible to ignore.

Somehow, it’s doubtful the orders to exclude me from Conservative rallies come straight from the top— frankly, I am not that important.

It probably has to do with my comics, and not the one(s) you might assume.

I believe Ivana Yelich and Brian Lilley may be the starting point. Image
I was not the only one turned away from Doug Ford’s campaign kickoff in May 2022.

Press secretary Ivana Yelich directed Zach to remove David Menzies and the Hat; she was the decision-maker.

Menzies flags the apparent conflict of interest between her and reporter Brian Lilley.
I started producing comics about Ivana Yelich and Brian Lilley in April 2021.

In my view, this relationship is a matter of public interest to the extent the conflict was not disclosed and Lilley heavily relies on unnamed sources to break & soften news about provincial politics. Image

You’ve probably seen photos of the Prime Minister yelling back at a protester during a 🇺🇦 war vigil in Toronto.

I spent many weekends documenting Derick at rallies.

Listen to this speech in full.

Derick has posed with Pierre Poilievre, Maxime Bernier, and Christine Andersen.

He recently promoted a rally with Chris Sky, only to be shoved off “stage” by King Nico before getting to intro the “keynote.”

He seeks clout in a social media-driven world, but he is not a Nazi.
I have said throughout that many people who joined the protest circuit are misfits seeking community.

Derick’s song choice says it all:

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
