Here's a screenshot I made of a quote-tweet from just after the CPC leadership win, that indicates otherwise
The CPC, and their enabling press & surrogates, wish us to believe they haven't behaved like Trump's GOP. That they haven't copies Trump tactics, to try to get it to work in Canada as well.
Here's a screenshot I made of a quote-tweet from just after the CPC leadership win, that indicates otherwise
during the day of the election, for CPC leader, I made a screenshot of CBC PnP's coverage - when the second ballot count had just been announced. Note that before the third ballot, Leslyn Lewis had the highest percentage of votes. You know who Dr Lewis' followers are? M*GA
An example, early on - August 27, when Erin O'Toole promised to 'Fight' for Canadians. Where else have we heard 'fight'? Think of Trump & Cruz, when they were whipping up the crowds on Jan 6, before they mobbed the halls of Congress
Here is Charles Adler, responding to CPC MP Findlay regarding her post where she shared a conspiracy site & asked us to beware of Finance Minister Freeland. Btw, Findlay never apologized to Freeland
Also, regarding tweet 7/, CPC leader O'Toole never penalized her for this. When asked by reporters for his comment, he hid behind his office staff & had them respond. Their statement was that MP Findlay deleted the tweet. That's it!
Another response, this time from @Ottawa_Cameron, also related to MP Findlay's dog whistling - something that Trump & the GOP do
Press, like Postmedia's Lorrie Goldstein, are mouthpieces for the CPC. He comes to their rescue, when they're under fire from Cdns. They have not disavowed some of his Trump-like rhetoric. Here's a sample of his type of rhetoric
as far as I'm concerned, as long as the writers that support the CPC have a reputation for using similar tactics as Trump & the GOP, the CPC should not be using them to further their message(s) - if they wish Cdns to believe they're not Trump-lite
these are their comms people - whether by association through Postmedia, or as press secretaries for conservative politicians - in this case Matt Wolf is provincial, but the Alberta UCP often share the same material with the CPC
Here is a screenshot I made of two consecutive tweets from @Justin_Ling, when he was reporting on outgoing CPC leader Scheer's farewell speech. Read this, and ask if what Scheer said, isn't something Trump or Sen Cruz would say
Mr O'Toole thinks the "Liberal brand" is: Climate Change, Indigenous Reconciliation, & Gender. In other words, he doesn't think these are files of interest to all Canadians. I beg to differ. The only ones who don't think these are important, are his type of conservative
btw, regarding tweet 15/ - the CPC leader never did answer my question. Also, I ask you to consider - is climate change, indigenous reconciliation & gender, also slammed by Trump and the GOP? Consider how 45 et al. have treated these topics. Parallels?
the CPC have used the RCAF as a form of branding. Please check my pinned tweet-thread for more on this topic. Trump has also surrounded himself with law & order types & made a big deal about Space Force & so on. Both CPC & 45 use military, and similar orgs, as brand
I also see a parallel between 45 and his focus on industries that are transitioning out as well as primarily staffed by males, and the same focus from the CPC. My screenshot doesn't show the date, but the file date is Sept. 23, 2020
the CPC want us to think they're more honest than Trump. Yet it was dishonest of them to post a video that they added words to the post, supposedly said by PM Trudeau, but you can play the video they shared & the message is different than their claim
the CPC's use of terminology like "wealthy, elite & insider friends" sounds like Trump at one of his rallies, IMHO. This push by Mr O'Toole (and Scheer before him), to come across like the humble person raised in a modest background, is disingenuous
(file date Oct 5, 2020)
Like Trump, Erin O'Toole talks about standing up to China. He doesn't suggest how, or consider the consequences of any action. Unrealistic & simplistic 'tough talk' (IMHO). Also, ironic, considering his party's history with FIPA trade deal under Harper
Re tweet 20/ here's an example of Erin O'Toole trying to be just a regular guy, similar to the type of rhetoric Trump used. Not completely honest, IMHO. After all, he makes it seem like his dad worked on the assembly line, yet was actually an executive - for two decades.
Please look at this screenshot and ask yourself: is this an American GOP message, or a Canadian one? (file date Nov 24, 2020), 'Freedom of Speech'
Dishonest, like Trump. Playing games with words to imply one thing, when in fact it's another thing. If CPC wish us to think they're not like Trump, they need to be more honest, play less games
another example of dishonesty, as noted Trump is dishonest - do we want this in our Cdn pols? It's one thing to use political spin, but Mr O'Toole is proving to be as misleading with his posts on this platform, as his predecessor (h/t @Swift01_2000)
Then there's this. Also consider the Trump admin's record with American indigenous communities during his time in office. Both Trump & O'Toole share the same bad worldview w/r/t indigenous peoples (IMHO)
adding this tweet by @Swift01_2000 - into the main thread, so that it doesn't get moved down by responses https://t.co/ERNCYjLpJH
and then there's this...

@jessica_pomps reminded me about when the CPC claimed the federal Liberals were planning to rig the next election. Very Trumpian. They had to delete their statements they'd made on their website & as part of their fundraising, but here's a screenshot (h/t @MJosling53)
More from Trump
To those who want to actually help Claudia Conway after her mom (Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s former aide) posted her underage daughter’s nudes to Fleets, fill out a report on the NCMEC CyberTipline.
CPS refused to help her.
#HelpClaudia
Kellyanne Conway has a well-documented history of verbally abusing, gaslighting, and threatening her daughter. It gets worse when highly public things go viral (such as exposing the truth about Trump and Conway catching COVID-19 last October). Kellyanne coerces false statements.
Insider did a thorough chronological background of the history of exposing her parents abuse and control of her here: https://t.co/ncjaEyLOSC
We all know that “statement” last year was coerced. She talks constantly about being abused by them.
Personally? I suspect Kellyanne is a narcissist. From my own experience being sexually and emotionally abused by a narcissist, they are obsessed with controlling the narrative (coerced typed statement), discrediting their victim (posting her nudes) & gaslighting
If you haven’t experienced gaslighting or aren’t familiar with it, it’s when someone causing you harm (physical, emotional, sexual, financial, etc) twists the facts and asserts that reality is just you being delusional and you don’t actually understand what happened.

DONALD TRUMP IS SO RACIST ...
— that he restored and increased HBCU funding (which Obama cut permanently) and met with HBCU leaders to find more solutions to bring higher education to black communities!
— that he gave loans to black entrepreneurs when the banks wouldn't. https://t.co/qiK2Ul7se2
— that Jesse Jackson praised Trump for helping him put together his Rainbow Coalition and for being a model for “people on Wall Street to represent diversity.”
— that he was awarded the 1986 Ellis Island Medal Of Honor alongside Rosa parks and Muhammad Ali for “patriotism, tolerance, brotherhood and DIVERSITY”. They don't give these medals to racists. https://t.co/WliqZHc34j
— that he dated a black woman.
— that he donated to and did personal favors for Rev. Al Sharpton's National Youth Movement. https://t.co/nBTvLiO128
— that he helped sponsor and finance both of Jesse Jackson's presidential bids.
— that when a homeless black woman was found illegally living in Trump Tower he allowed this woman to stay for 8 years, and provided her with three meals a day, and fresh flowers once a week.

Good to see the paper of record highlighting this important national news story that we’ve been covering at @theintercept for the past eight months.
Going to provide some links and info for those who might be interested in reading more on the topic.
In June, a trove of hacked law enforcement documents was posted online. I went through hundreds of those files to look at how law enforcement was treating antifa/anarchists vs groups on the far right.
Part of the reason I did this was because we had already published reporting showing that the NYPD was using a curfew in response to the George Floyd protests to hand over demonstrators to the FBI for questioning. Antifa was a subject of the interviews.
You can find that original reporting here: https://t.co/7vD7QuNLZP
And in more depth here:
As expected, the analysis of the docs posted online showed extensive law enforcement emphasis on antifa/anarchists even amid detailed evidence of threats and action from far right groups, including the murder of law enforcement

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
