Hi friends! ✨
I’m heartbroken to share I have been laid off from Global News.
I poured my heart and soul into the work I did alongside amazing colleagues, and I dealt with some horrifying backlash for it.
But I wouldn't change a thing.
Last night, someone who clearly owns guns directly threatened and harassed my entire family.
I'm speaking to police about this, but it's already forcing my loved ones to take precautions.
You can disagree with my reporting. You can critique it.
But don't threaten my family.

Imagine posting this kind of comment and willingly showing the world you have no concept of:
1) how to listen actively
2) the reality that women are more than your perceived level of their attractiveness
Couldn’t be me!
It’s so funny how some dudes think insulting a woman’s looks will destroy them
You think my self-worth hinges on every basement dwelling blue check thinking I’m hot?
All you’re doing is telling us YOU see women as one-dimensional rather than as full humans.
Embarrassing!
"I'm in favour of peaceful protests," Pierre Poilievre said just now, as he heads into question period.
"Put an end to the mandates and the restrictions so the protestors can go back to their jobs and their lives. That's the solution."
Trudeau was asked about being swarmed by protesters in Hamilton.
"A handful of angry people do not define what Hamilton is -- or what democracy is," the prime minister responded.
Oh my fucking god.
Two grown-ass dudes with big boy jobs laughing about a 69 joke while attacking the credibility of one of the main news organizations in Canada.
How can something so destructive be so cringey at the same time??
Oh man. Trudeau says, on wearing masks, that his understanding is it can be helpful as it prevents you from "breathing or speaking moistly" on others.
"Ugh what a terrible image."
MOISTLY. Our prime Minister just said "moistly," folks.

NEW: Windsor police are investigating after a man with apparent far-right extremist ties accessed the hospital room of an LGBTQ activist’s dying father.
He sent her a selfie from the room after she called out his anti-LGBTQ organizing.
I spoke with the activist for this story:
This was quite the moment. Trudeau was asked outright to comment on Trump calling for military action against protestors and the tear gassing of protestors to make space for a photo op.
He takes a very long pause, about 20 seconds. Watch.

Guys — I’m begging u, open the screenshots before commenting. I’m not talking about Trudeau and his son!!!

finally called me back so I could report a death threat.
The interaction made my jaw drop. This is NOT how victims should be treated.
Right off the bat, I was scolded for not saying hello (I did, my AirPods just cut out).
Then it got worse. So I recorded it.
UhhhHH.
THIS is the headline CTV went with??
He threatens to “visit” the rest of her family, insults her appearance and threatens to use his wealth and resources against her.
She had *just* called him out for his anti-LGBTQ organizing.
But maybe he had “good intentions”?? 🤦♀️

This is tweet from Poilievre is deeply disturbing.
There were swastikas at this rally. Kids yelling that gay people are “psychopaths” and “disgusting.”
Poilievre’s response to Trudeau condemning this hate? “Butt out.”
This shouldn’t be partisan. It’s about human rights.
For the record, when I had a restraining order against my own father in high school, I was glad there were some teachers who were willing to protect me from his "parental rights"
I'll always be grateful to them for making school feel like a safer place for me.
WHOA.
The head of CSIS *told Trudeau* to invoke the Emergencies Act, according to documents.
Based on everything he had seen to that point, the CSIS head "advised the Prime Minister of his belief that it was indeed required to invoke the Act."
Jordan Peterson uploaded a document with screenshots of the complaints made against him to the College of Psychologists.
The first allegation is that he, a licensed psychologist, made a joke about suicide directed at someone on Twitter.
Here's what else it shows.
Strap in.
I promised I would post the allegations today. These pages are screenshots of original documents, so everyone interested can decide for themselves what is going on

included (take note:
@PierrePoilievre
).
Saw a guy driving through downtown Perth, Ont. this afternoon with a “Fuck Trudeau” flag on his truck.
Flapping in the wind right next to it on the truck?
A *massive* confederate flag!!!!!
Why do we keep seeing racist symbols alongside ~Freedom Convoy~ slogans? I wonder!

Justin Trudeau went to see the Barbie movie with his son…and the men of the internet lost their minds.
During those temper tantrums, those dudes revealed something significant about themselves.
Here’s what you need to know:
Max, if you're going to tag me in a tweet, attack my work, and and fuel the deluge of hate directed my way today, you could at least be brave enough to not do it from behind a block.
People who describe themselves as "journalists" but spend all their time amplifying misinformation for clicks -- or rage-baiting off the trauma of others -- aren't journalists.
They're cosplayers.
We are normally ~discouraged~ from sharing this kind of stuff
But when the BCE CEO is making $13.5 million and the Bell Media President makes $4.8 million?
And my pals are getting laid off constantly?
I think it’s time we question who that silence benefits!
A nice big hearty fuck you to the Diagolon guys who took a picture of me while I walked home from getting a tattoo and shared my exact location in their chat!
Very cool and normal behaviour from very cool and normal people!
While I was out with friends, Jordan Peterson spent his Saturday night warning people not to tweet their “admiration” of me.
This is surreal.
It seems that reporting the facts of the complaints against him — including his rebuttal — touched a nerve.
Huge congrats to Pierre Poilievre for securing the coveted Alex Jones endorsement!!!!
It can’t have been easy to dogwhistle conspiracy theories often enough to clinch the support of a Sandy Hook shooting denier, but my god, Poilievre did it.
A journalist was shot dead in the West Bank today, with the word PRESS plastered on her chest. The coverage here in Tunisia is wall to wall.
But on Canadian Twitter, there’s next to nothing. Crickets.
Come ON guys. This matters!!
Excellent job from this reporter, pushing for an actual answer to her question amid relentless personal attacks.
The whole “you’re biased” tantrum in the face of any and all tough questions is getting old — and obvious — really quickly.
Poilievre's team sent this to me on Tuesday in response to my request for comment.
It read like a press release then.
I guess it *was* a press release.
Here are the questions I asked, which - instead of answering - he replied to by calling me "unprofessional."

No wonder trust in the media is at an all-time low.
One of Global News' so-called journalists decided to smear me & thousands of other Canadians because we criticized the federal government's unscientific & discriminatory vaccine mandates.

Pfizer is moving up its deliveries, Anand just said.

Trudeau announces that the gov't is closing the market for military-grade, assault weapons in Canada, banning 1,500 models and variants of these firearms.
He says there will be a two-year amnesty period for current owners of those models, and legislated compensation.

The Manitoba PCs decided to put anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on the ballot tonight with their “parental rights” bullshit.
If the results so far are any indication, anyone betting on anti-LGBTQ hate as a winning political strategy — and there are many — might want to reconsider:
This is actually such an interesting video.
Trudeau speaks with the PPC supporter over the substance of the issues he’s raising, and then…well, give it a watch:

The government has placed 13 new groups on the Criminal Code list of terrorist entities - including The Proud Boys.
Among the new additions are four "ideologically motivated violent extremist groups"
- Atomwaffen Division
- The Base
- Russian Imperial Movement
- The Proud Boys
I honestly didn't expect the response I got to my video yesterday.
It's a bit embarrassing to be so vulnerable so publicly, but I'm genuinely afraid of where this escalating road of hatred leads.
You have all overwhelmed me with the kind, supportive notes.
Thank you ❤️

Jordan Peterson appears to have now *deleted* the document I summarized below, which details the specifics of the complaints made against him to the College of Psychologists.
I wonder why?

Um, Pierre Poilievre is choosing to walk alongside James Topp.
James Topp went on Jeremy Mackenzie's show -- who was part of the broadcast that said they hoped the "Freedom Convoy" would be Canada's January 6th:
Yeah, that Jan. 6.
So this is a choice.

Are you seriously calling one of Canada’s largest news organizations “propaganda” and “not news?”
That’s a lie, and in framing it this way you’re attacking accountability, the truth and democracy.
Do you care?
💥💥💥NEW: Jordan Peterson lost his case.
He had argued he shouldn't be forced to take social media training to keep his license to practice as a psychologist.
He had mocked plus size people, made a joke about suicide directed at another user, and more.

Is it the parents with the swastikas that should be the final authority?
Or the parents who raised their kid to yell gay people are “psychopaths” and “disgusting”?
This rhetoric — pretending hate isn’t rising while actively dogwhistling it — WILL hurt people.
Do you care?
We now know why Conservatives were silent as anti-LGBTQ demonstrators spread hate across Canada.
We’ve also learned just how hateful these protests really were.
Here’s the latest:
I am so incredibly proud of what I achieved in my two and a half years at Global News.
I broke so many stories about the far-right in Canada, the so-called “Freedom Convoy,” and, more recently, about TikTok.
The Manitoba PCs decided to put anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on the ballot tonight with their “parental rights” bullshit.
If the results so far are any indication, anyone betting on anti-LGBTQ hate as a winning political strategy — and there are many — might want to reconsider:
My work at Global News has led to threats against me, my friends, and my family. But I am so proud of myself — and so are they.
I’m not sure what’s next. It’s a bit scary to be on my own, especially knowing how much hate is out there.
But I know I’m not really alone.
If one more dude tells me I can’t report on this because I don’t have kids, I’m gonna start looking up how many of them aren’t paying their child support
Ontario is the latest province to join an unscientific and dangerous policy trend that will hurt LGBTQ kids.
It’s unclear why provinces believe this is necessary, but it’s definitely not data-based.
Here’s what happened.
Looks like this MMA fighter is a big insecure baby who likes to punch down!
Sean Strickland went on an unhinged anti-LGBTQ rant after a reporter had the audacity to ask him about…things he’s said.
Oh, and
@ScotiabankArena

are apparently fine with it.
Cool! 💅
Needless to say, I am furious.
Is this how
@OttawaPolice
handles reports of gender-based and racist threats? Death threats?
"Can I talk?"
How many women who *don't* have my platform have faced this while trying to file a report? Hm?
Disgusting. Incompetent. Wrong.
Tamara Lich: "We had a lot of support in Ottawa from the Ottawa citizens."
Ottawa residents' counsel: "except for those that were suing you, I guess."
Lich: "I guess, yeah."
If you claim to be an ardent defender of free speech, but attack the press for reporting facts you don't like, you don't understand the freedom you claim to be defending.
Danielle Smith's legal first name is Marlaina. She's asked why she can go by different name but restrict other's ability to do the same?
She says it was her parent's choice, to her annoyance.
So adults making naming decisions for you is frustrating, Danielle?
Interesting!!!!!

Trolling is so weird. People go online and say the worst things to others they can think of.
Then, if the target sticks up for themselves, the trolls become OVERJOYED because you took the "bait."
That's the bit? Like, what a weird, sad hobby?
Have you considered glass blowing?
Never let any politician tell you that going around the media, as a whole, allows them to speak more clearly to you.
It allows them to speak unchallenged. Not the same thing.
I go around liberal media & speak directly to Canadians. That's how I won 7 elections in an urban Ontario riding.
Our message of affordability & freedom is resonating with people & will unite our country & defeat Trudeau.

Canadian individuals and families with relatives in Gaza are hitting Canadian govt officials with a "notice of intention to prosecute."
The aim is to hold them accountable where there's evidence they were "complicit" in war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide:
A bit disappointed that there’s like 543 articles about whether Trudeau should step down, yet I’m the only one covering multiple members of Poilievre’s inner circle following an anti-LGBTQ hate account.
Now LibsofTikTok is basically endorsing them.
This is clearly news, yall.
Do
@PierrePoilievre
and
@AnaPoilievre
reject the support they just received from Libs of TikTok, an anti-LGBTQ hate account?
Especially given hospitals, libraries and schools receive bomb threats following her posts about them?

This is beyond disturbing.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling a national Canadian news organization “propaganda” and “not news.”
This is an craven attack on the truth, democracy and accountability.
