I found out recently that I was deceived by social activists in an elaborate scheme dating back to January. A production group with what I now know has a fake name and fake identities gave me a friendly interview about my book A Day with Sir John A, and about Sir John A Macdonald, back in Feb.

They connected me with a fake company called Heritage Figures Canada with a fake website and "hired" me to perform consulting work for them. We had what I now know were fake meetings, fake documents, fake commercial shoot, fake prototype of a Sir John A collectible. Then in a second filmed interview last week, they turned on me, and it was revealed to have all been a setup in order to demonize Sir John A and smear me.

It turns out this is a taxpayer-funded CBC and APTN project. There is so much more, I will make a video. They also deceived @FrancesWiddows1Image

And this is scary: when I was signing the release form, one of the chatty producers was trying to distract me from reading it - but I obtained a copy, and they include a clause about using AI - so I can expect they will doctor the footage and create deepfakes Image
The project partially involves the individuals listed in my original post, plus Americans like Igor Vamos and Molly Gore. Also see the Sir John A impersonator in the top hat, who during the filming just said repeated things about "racial purity." It was so weird and unfunny Image
This is my children's book, A Day with Sir John A

This is why they set their sights on me

Radical activists & their sympathizers will get any speaker they don't like kicked off campus, then out of the library & all other public venues. When the speaker is then denied private venue rentals, ppl will just say "they're a private business, they don't have to rent to you"
As I wrote many months ago,

"While we have largely seen the battles for free speech and open inquiry take place on university campuses, we may need to start shifting our focus to the newest target: Canada’s public libraries."

Ok everyone, I have an important update. Do you remember Prof. Nathan Rambukkana of @Laurier University? He is the one who hauled me into a disciplinary meeting because I played a clip from @tvo (public televsion) in the class I was TAing. He was my supervisor.
@Laurier @tvo He told me that one or multiple students complained about me; compared @jordanbpeterson to Hitler; told me that I had created a toxic environment that was threatening & targeted trans ppl, etc.
@Laurier @tvo @jordanbpeterson Well, I was eventually exonerated by @Laurier, found to have done nothing wrong. No complaint against me, as described by Rambukkana, existed. Rambukkana then disappeared for a year (since Dec 2017). Deleted his social media, his office left vacant for the year, etc.

Imagine 2 sociology profs use your M.A. proposal presentation to tell you their personal opinions on Faith Goldy and ask you snidely if you believe flat earth theory should be taught by geography depts, rather than giving constructive feedback like they did for the other students
And your supervising prof tried to report you to the Deans for copyright infringement for posting an image of a land acknowledgment from a course syllabus. When that didn’t work, they report you to the Deans for asking to reschedule a tutorial.
Then an illegitimate harassment and discrimination complaint is filed against you and you are subject to an investigation, without the opportunity for mediation.
