I want every Canadian to take this to their quiet, personal reflection space and really think about it. American owned Canadian newspapers have been given editorial direction to push right wing talking points. I think this is a five alarm issue, frankly.

This is what Canadians should be angry about. Where did all the money go? What did the Premiers spend it on? Why is our healthcare system in such dire straights? The feds certainly have been pulling their weight and taking all the criticism while doing it. Premiers? Free Ride.

It's high time Ontarians got loud and demanded where 20BILLION! federal transfer for health care has ended up. So Doug Ford Sylvia Jones where is our money? Colin D'Mello | Global News perhaps some serious press follow up with the auditor general is in order?

At VICE News we built an extremism desk with some of the best beat reporters in the business who covered this topic in a way no other publication was even coming close to. Then the bosses paid themselves huge bonuses a day before firing everyone. Great industry.

The start up accused of taking millions from Russia to interfere in Canadian and American Elections is called Tenet. It’s owned by Roaming Millenial. That’s owned by Liam Donovan who spread that money around to…dozens of influencers. You already know who. 🇨🇦

Live action shot of Tim Pool and Lauren Southern getting paid by Russia to shit on Canada, lie about censoring free speech. Major Russian talking point. That’s literally what they are doing in this clip.

We stand united with the U.S. on confronting Russia’s agression against democratic societies. Any Canadian aiding Russia to spread disinformation, criminal and covert activities and corruption to undermine our sovereignty will face the full force of Canadian law.

Huh. A convoy connection to Tenet Media founder Lauren Chen, who the DoJ alleges took a shit ton of funds from pro-Moscow sources. Chen hosted the We Unify Reclaiming Canada conference in June in Victoria this year, along w her buddy Lauren Southern. 1/2

The social media accounts of two Canada's most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign. cbc.ca/news/investiga… .

A bit to my surprise, CBC is ON THIS and it's BIG: cbc.ca/news/investiga…

The Tim Pool/Tenet Media story is obviously fascinating. But... An FBI affidavit unsealed this week says the Russians are maintaining an active list of 2,800 influencers, 600 of whom are in the US The FBI has not released the list Who else is on it? wired.com/story/project-…

One can't help but wonder how many extreme right "media" sites in Alberta are funded by similar sources? The ones that seem to have no trouble getting interviews with Premier Danielle Smith et al. I've always wondered. Maybe we'll get answers. cbc.ca/news/investiga…

And still, not a word from anyone with the Conservative Party of Canada on Russian interference with RW influencers and fake media sites that promoted the Conservative Party and Pierre Poilievre. Not. One. Word.

When will RCMP let us know what they've found in #GreenbeltScandal investigation? This story from two years ago names people from Greenbelt AND Ontario Science Center scandals AND Russians! How long before we know who is really running Ontario? Where's Mainstream Media? #ONPoli
