Remember who #RobertFife is. He published false information leaked from anonymous sources demonstrating that Maher Arar was a terrorist (he wasn’t). Fife’s reporting was instrumental in not only the false smearing of Arar, but also Arar’s torture in Syria. thewalrus.ca/hear-no-evil-w…
But worse than that. It wasn’t only a glaring #CdnMediaFail. It was an attempt to smear the Chrétien/Martin gov’t, working on securing Canadian citizen, Arar’s, release from a Syrian prison. Top RCMP & CSIS officials were implicated in the leak. The smear of Arar was political.
So I can’t help but find the timing of Fife being the vessel for re-releasing an old report re 🇨🇳’s interference in 🇨🇦’s affairs (on many fronts, for years) to be more than a tad suspect. Especially given the failure on the part of intelligence agencies & policing re the Convoy.

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”
If this story doesn’t expose the grotesque #cdnmedia double standard of coverage of #Conservatives, I don’t know what does.

This is corruption & abuse of the office of Premier, on its face. #ONpoli #NeverVoteConservative #TOpoli #DougFordResign #DougFordCorruption
#DougFord’s daughter & her right wing cop husband, set up with thousands & thousands of dollars, courtesy of abuse of the office of Premier. #DougFordCorruption #DougFordResign #ONpoli #NeverVoteConservative #TOpoli

Ontario's Health Care system has a big pot of money. For three years Doug Ford and his government have been under spending this money, Paying nurses less, giving hospitals less, deliberately creating a crisis of sick people, and kids FFS. 1/-
Now he proposes to solve that crisis by giving his friends, rich people in Ontario, Like the Weston Family, money to provide clinics to deal with all these sick people.
There is only one pot of money, and now he is going to give some of it to his friends. 2/-
Those clinics will take the cream, the pot will stay the same size, so there will be less for the Public system, and the nurses and doctors who work in it.
What do you think is going to happen?
The public system will get worse. 3/-

I continue to make my way through #POEC #EmergencyActInquiry. publicorderemergencycommission.ca/public-hearings
I am continuously struck by the normalization of an act of extremism based on #InfoOps radicalizing those on the right (& some on the left). Taking some legitimate grievances & weaponizing them.
If a large group of non-white people with 400 large rigs, shut down the core of the nation’s capital, continuously blaring deafening air horns, amassing containers of fuel alongside open flames & fireworks, endangering children present, harming residents….
#EmergencyActInquiry
…getting #ConvoyFinancing for their op from foreign extremists like far right Republicans. Shutting down major border crossings costing billions in losses, engaging in conspiracies to, at the very LEAST, sabotage the workings of gov’t, providing fodder to foreign adversaries… ImageImageImageImage

As I make my way through the #EmergenciesActInquiry (& I strongly encourage everyone to listen to it themselves rather than relying on spin in #cdnmedia reports), a few things stand out.

Bylaw officers were intimidated & didn’t feel safe to do their jobs re #FreeDumbConvoy 1/ ImageImageImage
2.Tow truck companies were unwilling to risk their safety or their business & vehicles by towing the trucks, aside from tow operators who refused b/c they bought into propaganda of the occupation. (CTV’s reporting leaves out the lack of safety reasons, highlights the “sympathy”) Image
3. But what is most troubling perhaps, is the intelligence failures on the part of @OttawaPolice. I can’t imagine it was out of incompetence, I also can’t imagine it was because INSET, CSIS, FINTRAC didn’t provide #OPS with intel. #EmergenciesActInquiry Image

1/ As if the #opioid crisis and the pending #ONhealth ED collapse weren’t enough, @OntariosDoctors section on Addiction Medicine warning OAT clinics across Ontario could see service disruptions as of Dec 1, 2022 (ironically #internationalaids day)
2/ At issue is the implementation of the new virtual care codes which will slash fees for video consultations with new patients— patients in rural or remote areas without access to specialists are likely to be most impacted. #onpoli #onhealth
3/The irony is that #mentalhealth in #ontario was pioneering in establishing the virtual care capacity that got us through #covid. Many community-based #buprenorphine programs in rural and remote areas operated virtually prior to the pandemic, increasing #accessibility to OAT.

Must read 🧵 debunking yet another pile of disinfo bullshit from propaganda media. There was no potential “breakthrough”. Dean French is a grotesque #DougFord operative. Claiming an “accord” amongst malignant actors, is in any way legitimate, is yet another threat to #democracy.
Thank you to @CanadianOut for these screenshots. Anyone claiming there was a potential “breakthrough” right before the #EmergenciesAct was invoked, is amplifying misinformation, or is deliberately & malignly spreading disinformation. The EA was necessary. #CdnNatSec #cdnpoli ImageImage
Speaking of malicious actors & disinformation, everything in this tweet is a lie. Also, #CoupTruxKlan was never about “mandates”. It was an op that foreign adversaries & ideologically motivated domestic extremists used to try & destabilize 🇨🇦’s gov’t. #PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou Image

This woman’s 3 beautiful little children & her father were killed by selfish entitled drunk driving a-hole, Marco Muzzo, of billionaire Muzzo family (owners of #PembertonGroup, amongst other) & PC donors in tight with #DougFord’s gov’t. Her mother & grandmother were also injured.
Now, after living with the unimaginable grief since 2015, the father of Jennifer Neville-Lake’s precious children, has taken his own life. Marco Muzzo has now killed 5 people. Yet was granted full parole last year & aims to move back to where he caused so much destruction #ONpoli

#DougFord @fordnation cut $71 from
133 First Nation communities
66 of which face system water inequalities

To add to insult, he only pledged $10M to investigate burial sites at residential schools... there were 15 schools in the province 😶‍🌫️ @AFN_Updates
The mark of the beast is telling
When you divide 10M by 15
You get 666,666.666

@fordnation is a muppet... his handler chose that number b/c of the Indigenous rejection of Christianity/Catholicism... i perceive it as a slight by conservatives & handlers
@GCIndigenous
#DougFord is not a religious man but his handlers are.. the ppl who control @fordnation are to an extent

Doug doesnt go to church but who advised him of $10M was calculated

@DorisGrinspun the floor is yours... can you justify your 49% pay increase from the time you took office as CEO until 2022? Or why you got a 26.8% increase in the pandemic yr?
How did Dr.Kieran Moore pocket a full salary for a position he assumed mid yr? This should scream conflict of interest. @ON_Integrity

In 2014 we had to work the year to earn a yr's salary. At some point the fuckery has got to stop.

Dr.Moore is in it for the money folks. I hate to break it to ya, but thats the sad reality.

Remember all the sleaze & shady goings on, including fraud, when #DougFord became PC party leader? It’s not just Ford. It’s an entire party of sleaze & those who stay quiet & enable/tacitly condone it in pursuit of power. #VoteThemAllOut2022 #ONpoli #cdnpoli
Then there was Team Ford’s use of trolls & other inauthentic behaviour online, including Jeff Ballingall’s malignant “Ontario Proud”, to smear opponents (esp Wynne) & manipulate the public, all amplified in both social & traditional media. #VoteThemAllOut2022 #ONpoli #cdnpoli
Then came the corruption, backroom deals & cuts right out of the gate. In addition to wealthy private interests dictating policy choices, including choices that led directly to suffering, cruelty & death (#LTCs, poverty etc). #VoteThemAllOut2022 #VoteFordOut2022 #ONpoli #cdnpoli

Restating what many of us on #ONpoli have been saying all day: Trudeau’s gov’t sent millions of rapid tests to Ontario. They sat unused on shelves because of Ford. Not sent to schools last year for safe reopening, etc. Why?
