A 🧵Stephen Harper in the PMO 2006-2015

In 2005, Stephen Harper did a fundraiser for the
CASJAFVA, a radical group that promoted hate against the gay community. Image
In Harper's speech to the CASJAFVA, he outlined plans for a broad new party coalition that would ensure a lasting hold on power.
Image
Image
"Movement towards the end goal must be incremental," Harper said, "so the public won't be spooked. Regime change, one step at a time."
Image
Image
March 2005, the Plymouth Brethren wrote to President George W. Bush and asked him to influence Prime Minister Martin to not let the Gay Marriage Act (Bill C-38) pass. PM Martin passed the bill on June 28, 2005. Image
2006 - Harper wins a minority government. He took the oath on a Plymouth Brethren bible, essentially confirming his loyalty to them. Image
Harper announced a motion to restore the traditional definition of marriage. The motion was defeated by a vote of 123 to 175. Harper then stated the matter was now closed, and would not be revisited even if he got a majority government in the next election. Image
In 2006 he removed the Court Challenges Program, which had funded legal actions by gays and rights activists, and the Law Commission of Canada, a respected federal law reform agency. Image
At the same time, the Conservatives took aim at Status of Women Canada, closing regional offices and barring the federal organization from funding women’s groups involved in advocacy and research. Image
Postmedia started buying up Canadian news sources in 2010. Harper allowed this in spite of a poll that showed the majority of Canadians were opposed to allowing foreign control of our media.

Image
Image
Image
Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey ordered all the major newspapers in his chain to support Harper’s Conservative Party. Since then Canadians have been subject to Postmedia's supportive campaign of circulating disinformation/misinformation.

Image
Working for Reform Party Youth in 1997, Kory Teneycke demonstrated a gift for creating controversy and harnessing that controversy for political, commercial, or ideological ends. Below is his history.

Image
Image
Image
Spin masters, Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley worked with Kory Teneycke at Sun News. The format of the show was based on Fox News. Image
In 2013, MP Brian Storset, put through a bill to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Section 13 offered Canadians some form of protection against acts of hate. Image
The Campaign Life Coalition (an anti-abortion group) was very pleased with MP Brian Storseth. Note the quip about gay activists in the profile provided.
Image
Image
White Supremacists were really happy with the removal of Section 13. Bill C-304 relieves the commission of the power to shut down hate-mongering websites.
Image
Image
After the failure of Sun News, Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley launched Rebel News. Media that caters to extreme groups of people, including gangs.

Image
Image
Image
Rebel Media is a source that triggers negative reactions...anger/rage/fear/hate. Very similar style to Fox New's hosts, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. Image

How Canada's governance went from good to CPC bad. The 🧵 started in the 1960s, however, this extreme right-wing manipulation goes as far back as the Social Credit Party with Bill Aberhart and Ernest Manning.
Short overview: Aberhart was Alberta's 7th premier. Known as Bible Bill due to his bible radio sermons. Bill incorporated fascism into his sermons. Ernest Manning was in his caucus. When Manning became the premier he continued the radio sermons.
The plot to change Canada started with the National Citizen's Coalition (NCC). An American strategist was hired to teach the NCC how to win elections.

Canadians, imagine for a moment, that you and your team were serving the country through the worst of times that the younger generations have experienced. While you and your team are working non-stop to get the entire country through these worst of times, you were continuously...
lied about, and that every issue was being used to spread misinformation/disinformation about the issue and the protocols of proper processes. In addition, you have colleagues, not on your team, rage farming in order to radicalize/polarize the citizens who are prone to commit
violent threats and actions on our soil. So not only are you and your team dealing with treasonous sabotage by colleagues but are also dealing with a more dangerous society. Would you, Canadian person, who is under constant character attacks, be able to do your responsibilities

What the CPC is doing IMO, is attempting to get the Liberals to publicize the measures they took in 2018 to strengthen our system against foreign interference.
Also, IMO, the CPC wants to ensure that their foreign partners are still capable of interfering in our elections. Every CDN can trust that any interference would always be for the CPC and other r-w parties.
If the Libs benefitted from "interference" they would have been given a majority government, the way Doug Ford was. We know that the CPC is a member of the IDU. The IDU should be considered a foreign enemy. We also know that the CPC is in an alliance with the Republican GOP.

In this podcast, there was a point made that part of the reason this angry movement against the world is occurring is that people need something to believe in.
Top Political Analyst WARNS of MAGA THREAT in Powerful Interview | The W... via @YouTube
It's why we're seeing people gravitate toward false religious sects, joining anti-movements, etc.
It made me wonder about that because I know that the only thing anyone needs to believe in, is themselves.
My childhood was atrocious. What the residential school survivors experienced; repression, oppression, sexual, mental, and emotional abuse I experienced. While Indigenous children were being abused by strangers, I was being abused by my own family.
