Remember: estimates at
#AmbassadorBridgeBlockade
put the number at around 75 people, 12 or so large rigs. This is NOT a mass movement, it’s a guerrilla style group of right wing insurgents backed by wealthy far right extremists attacking democracy, exploiting the pandemic.
Recap for those not following the story:
#DougFord
had electronic flyers sent out to lobbying groups, developers, groups with dealings w/ Ontario’s gov’t, “browbeating” them into buying $150 raffle tickets for his daughter’s stag & doe party. IN ADDITION to $1K/person “donations”

. He broke into Nancy Pelosi’s office & photographed her computer with emails still open. Why hasn’t he been arrested?
@Justin_Ling
Can we STOP calling them “truckers”?? None of these people is a trucker. Not Dichter, not Lich, not any of these organizers. Driving a pickup truck does NOT make you a “trucker”.
A reminder of what a delusional psychopath Tom Marazzo is. This toxic nut-job who was fired from his job, not elected to anything, imagined himself as high level negotiator “willing” to sit down with elected opposition. The entitlement of these assholes is unreal.
#FreeDumbConvoy
In an 'emergency' press conference, the truckers' new spokesperson Tom Marazzo says: "I'm willing to sit at a table with the conservatives and the NDP and the Bloc, as a coalition. I'll sit with the governor general."
Fuck you to everyone who voted to decimate Ontario, harm people, gut public healthcare & education, hasten environmental destruction & siphon off billions to line the pockets of greedy kleptocrats. People will literally die & suffer thanks to your stupidity & selfishness.
#ONpoli
Pierre Poilievre worked to oust
#ErinOToole
just as a large scale info-ops attack is launched in 🇨🇦. Now Poilievre says he’s “running for Prime Minister of 🇨🇦”. He hasn’t even won
#CPC
leadership, yet foreign troll farms are retweeting him en masse. None of this is coincidental.
The other day I said that 🇨🇦 is experiencing an info-ops attack. I wondered if 🇨🇦 might be a test run for a larger op involving multiple countries with multiple malign players, including perhaps an operator like Russia, in coordination with rightwing political groups.
#Omicronvoy
A question everyone should be asking: WHY has
#cdnmedia
failed to report on one of the biggest political scandals in decades. O’Toole &
#CPC
colluded w/
#Conservative
premiers to delay implementing covid measures until after
#elxn44vote
. People died as a result
#CovidInquiryNow
According to
#CdnMediaFailed
, Trudeau isn’t allowed to be human. He’s not allowed a vacation; he’s not allowed to use a VIP entrance that all other heads of state use; he’s not allowed decent accommodations even though he’s 🇨🇦’s Prime Minister; he’s not allowed any social time.
I was unsure about putting this on Twitter but...
My brother died early this morning, suspected
#covid19
. He went from being sick at home, to being unable to breathe, taken in an ambulance to the ER, then to ICU. Last night put on a ventilator & died this morning.

Also you could investigate why and how Doug's nephew Michael and his wife own four units in the same recently built 29 Queens Quay E condo, "purchased" from Fernbrook (Doug's buddy) for nearly $1 mil each, purchases on the exact same day.

Today, Steven Rogers, Trump’s 2020 Campaign Advisor, posted on Canadian platforms. The timing is very suspicious. He is recruiting ex Canadian law enforcement as spies, to produce a misinformation campaign against Trudeau, that would also push Trump's lies on the world stage.
There’s a coordinated international hit job on 🇨🇦’s gov’t. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺🇨🇳 operations. The ops coming out of England may be a proxy for Russian ops amplified by England’s ever-present far right. They inauthentically trend anti-Trudeau hashtags using accelerator botnets & trolls

Let’s say 200 people Ford invited, “donated” $1,000 each, that’s at least $200,000. Add in scores of “raffle” tickets, let’s say another 200 were sold of those, that’s another $30K.
Yet the so-called integrity commissioner didn’t see a problem??
Many Canadians fail to comprehend the degree to which the Harper gov’t tied the hands of all future governments for 31 years under Harper’s disastrous

Everything under FIPA is done without the knowledge of Canadians. If we break or fail to comply with the agreement it goes to arbitration and we’re fined. We’re WELDED to this awful deal until 2045. China has Carte Blanche to do whatever it wants in Canada. THAT is the issue!
As many of us have been saying for years. It is Harper &
