1. To ignore what #AndrewScheer represents, is to ignore the serious threat Canada is facing in this coming election. & it is a serious threat. Let's begin with a past tweet from Scheer. #cdnpoli #Brexit 
Why is this #Scheer #Brexit tweet important? Because by all markers assessed by experts in the field, Brexit was a malign influence operation, fueled by #DarkMoney. foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… #cdnpoli
3. Russia has played a major role in helping to elect right wing chaos agents: Trump, #BorisJohnson, #ViktorOrban & others across Europe. In 2015 the US treasury department estimated $300B is laundered annually into the US via a variety of #DarkMoney sources.

17. Canadians & Americans alike, would do well to listen to #HouseIntelligenceCommittee Chair, Adam Schiff’s opening statement in #MuellerHearings. His statement points to how vast the problem becomes when there’s anti-democratic rot from within. #cdnpoli
18. Foreign influence operations in coordination with domestic players, to help install right wing governments around the world, have been successful. To imagine these forces have not been targeting 🇨🇦’s upcoming election to install a right wing gov’t, is naive at best. #cdnpoli
19. The same state actors come up repeatedly when looking into foreign influence operations: Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel. As stated earlier, political actors in 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 in conjunction with these operations, have shared goals & upend democratic norms. newrepublic.com/minutes/152322…
1. Since there is no Robert Mueller in Canada, tasked with investigating foreign influence campaigns in Canadian elections, I urge all Canadians to at least read chapter II. Russian “Active Measures” Social Media Campaign of the #MuellerReport. #cdnpoli
2. You have all likely witnessed the use of troll-farms & bots to amplify paid troll accounts, supporting #DougFord, #JasonKenney & #AndrewScheer. One troll account tweeting pro Ford in the lead up to #Ontario’s election claimed to be from #Toronto. But mistakenly used Toronto OH
3. Fake #Facebook accounts have been active on the pages of front groups like #YellowVestsCanada & in comment sections of the FB pages of major media outlets like the #CBC.
