Pay attention to MPP Joel Harden in the background of this clip.
What does it look like he’s doing?

This happened a couple of minutes later.
Electronic whistles range from 100-120 dB. They can cause permanent hearing damage with close range use.

An identical-looking electronic whistle was wielded as a weapon against me a few weeks prior by Tanner Massey.
MPP Joel Harden and OCDSB Trustee Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth stood by during the assault.

The person wearing a keffiyeh outside the National Arts Centre was not Tanner Massey, who showed up fully masked around ten minutes later.

MPP Joel Harden was spotted near Tanner Massey during the counter protest outside the National Arts Centre.
This could be coincidence.

As it happens, Tanner Massey appeared to closely follow MPP Joel Harden on Broadview Avenue, too.

So-called “defenders” are openly brainstorming other devices to deploy.
Joe Morin participated in counter protests on both June 9 and 28. Here, he is in conversation with two anonymous troll accounts dedicated to harassing me online.
I have filed a police report about these incidents.

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.
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.
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.
