From Taylor Swift to Graham Platner, the internet has been lighting up with talk of far-right and Neo Nazi dogwhistles lately.

Luckily for you, I’m fluent in the language of the worst people on the internet.

Today, I’m breaking down some common symbols, sayings and images of the far right:

Great.

So, Canada just handed a propaganda win to Trump by getting rid of the tax that makes U.S tech companies pay Cdn journalism for content made by Cdn journalists online?

Why are we feeding this fuck's ego and bowing to U.S tech firms now?

We aren't the only gov w this tax btw.

Genuinely worried how the right in Canada takes this. I hope they pivot back to the middle, but would guess they keep going the way they're going. And the fringe right? I expect pure lunacy.

Here is a rundown of the costed platforms. Spoiler: PP’s platform proposes Federal level involvement in “protecting women’s spaces” ie- throwing trans women into men’s prisons and women that don’t appear feminine enough to be under scrutiny while using change rooms or bathrooms.
The election is less than a week away! I'm stressed! Because suddenly there are costed platforms and JD Vance may have taken out the Pope!

While that last one is a joke (I think), the platforms are very real.

So let’s talk about what’s in them: the good, the bad, and the harrowing:

I don't think he is helping himself with women voters after his biological clock comment, his snarky challenge to a female CBC reporter about crowd size yesterday, and this dismissal of a female CTV reporter today. These women are highly regarded professionals and deserve to be treated as such.

This is why we CANNOT let private companies take over our essential health services.
This story should be leading the news in a historic election like this.

Lab services - an essential part of our healthcare system - long ago outsourced to for-profit private companies.

Jesse Brown really hates me, huh.

From uncritically airing bad-faith attacks without context or verification, to his host repeatedly and derisively implying I'm more of an "influencer" than a journalist?

Oh and for the record, Canadaland didn't even try to contact me before doing this!!!
CTV cancels Rachel Gilmore’s fact checking segment due to backlash–causing further backlash.

Poilievre's candidate in my riding of Kitchener South-Hespeler is Dr Matt Strauss.

In 2023 Strauss sued Queens University, claiming he was canceled for his views on vaccine mandates and masking. His lawsuit was funded by none other than Elon Musk.

Details in thread.

So at his next press conference, or a press conference by one of his lackies, ie. Michael Barrett I hope to hear all the media ask why Poilievre is not allowing any media to travel with them. I expect you all to keep asking that question until he answer. Also, ask about his TS security clearance.
