I did a little experiment once. I took some of the anti-refugee memes infecting some of my friends (well, one in particular) Facebook posts, and tried to trace back the origin of a few of them.

Some came from neo-nazi sites, but many came from you-know-who. It has gone way beyond his site, but it started there. That's always been Ezras' shtick. Divide us, piss us off, then he has a group of people willing to listen to his BS.

You're not brave enough to offer up examples so I'll give you one.

Faith Goldy broke the story of the border jumping abuses of "refugee claimants" at Roxham road. Nobody had heard of Roxham Road until she started talking about it. Today even the CBC has to admit the problem exists although they always offer a healthy counter-balance of 'law breakers shouldn't be called illegals' and such.

Is that what you mean by Rebel's "infection of anti-refugee memes?" I'm pretty sure it is.

And I'm pretty sure of something else. Without actually saying it, it's sounding like you're pretty 'Rah, Rah, go team' on this idea of the government deciding who or what is acceptable as news.

I'm thinking if you and yours had your way we would never have heard about Roxham Road.

I am not responsible for how others interpret my posts. I don't make 'implications'. I am perfectly able to voice my thoughts clearly.

Give us a break, you cited Ezra Levant the implication being Rebel Media.

[N_Fiddledog]

The Progressive Socialist left thinks if they attach a negative stigma to somebody no further explanation necessary. Context becomes a big "phht, who cares?" and the damning of the issue can spread as far as they like without identification of what they're specifically talking about. Say "Trump" in Proggese and you've damned whatever anybody is talking about at anytime. Say Ezra and you've damned any media that isn't a recipient of Trudeau's media bribe money.

Just the name of anybody not approved by the Progressive Agenda becomes a slur and an immediate implicit demand to "shut up."

Conservatives renounce Google ad that spreads false border claim

The Conservative Party is distancing itself from one of its own online ads after using Google to spread the false claim that “Justin Trudeau is letting a foreign entity take control of our borders.”

The Conservative Party ad appeared in recent weeks on Google, and following the link leads to a fundraising page on the Conservative Party’s website. That page uses slightly less inflammatory language to state that, unlike the Liberals, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer opposes the United Nations Global Compact for Migration, which Ottawa endorsed in December.

In response to questions from The Globe and Mail about the ad, Conservative Party spokesman Cory Hann declined to defend the party’s claim that the Prime Minister is letting a foreign entity take control of Canada’s borders.

“That doesn’t accurately reflect our position, and the ad is not running,” Mr. Hann said in an e-mail.

. . .

he Conservative Party’s Google ad directed people to a section of the Conservative Party website focused on the party’s opposition to the UN migration compact. The website says Mr. Scheer opposes the agreement “because Canada must be in control of our borders and have full autonomy over who enters our country – not some foreign entity that cannot be held accountable by the Canadian people.”

When Canada agreed to support the UN compact in December, Mr. Scheer made similar comments that were widely dismissed as false by policy experts and former Conservative immigration minister Chris Alexander.

The compact is not legally binding on signatory countries.

Liberal MP Francis Drouin said the Conservative ad on Google represents the politics of fear and falsehoods.

“It’s disappointing that the Conservatives are trying to divide and scare Canadians with false information online,” he said in a statement.

I've even see that whopper repeated here.

Canadians should be very wary of the Liberal governments Ministry of Propaganda and their continued efforts to divide lie to Canadians on every single issue that deals with minorities.

FTFY.

I guess none of the righties read the actual Critical Election Incident Public Protocol because as usual they display a fundamental ignorance of what it is.

$1:

The Critical Election Incident Public Protocol (the Protocol) lays out a simple, clear and impartial process by which Canadians should be notified of a threat to the integrity of the 2019 General Election.

The Protocol includes provisions for: informing candidates, organizations or election officials if they have been the known target of an attack; briefing the group of senior public servants at the heart of the Protocol; informing the Prime Minister and other party leaders (or their designates) that a public announcement is planned; and notifying the public.

The Prime Minister cannot veto the decision to notify Canadians of a critical incident

....Threshold
The threshold for the Panel’s intervention during the election will be very high. It will be limited to addressing exceptional circumstances that could impair Canada’s ability to have a free and fair election.

As such, potential considerations could include:

-the potential impact of the incident on the national interest;
-the degree to which the incident undermines Canadians’ democratic rights;
-the potential of the incident to undermine the credibility of the election; and
- the degree of confidence officials have in the intelligence.
The Prime Minister cannot veto the decision by the Panel to notify Canadians.



Announcement
If the Panel determines that the threshold has been met, the Clerk would direct the relevant national security agency head(s) to hold a press conference to notify Canadians of the incident(s).

The announcement would focus solely on:

-notification of the attack;
-what is known about the attack (as deemed appropriate); and/or
-steps Canadians should take to protect themselves (e.g., ensure that they are well informed; cyber hygiene), if required.
The announcement will not address attribution (i.e. the source of the attack) and will not include classified information.

Actually sounds a little weak to me, especially since they won’t be naming Russia by name.

The Rebel, Ezra Levant. Tell me you actually separate the two.

Tell me you know that Ezra founded Rebel and he’s still listed as it’s corporate director.

I don't. Just like with his team up with Alex Jones and that shining beacon of truth, I don't separate the rebel from infowars anymore.
