Canada allows Indigenous women to be trafficked freely and our ports are big part of this. Upon taking office Mark Carney gave a huge contract to DP World in Montréal whose CEO at the time was entirely implicated in the Epstein files & MMIWG. Canadians are so naive it takes my breath away. #cdnpoli

Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...
The pitch began with a prayer.
On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta's most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.
It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.
The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote - and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
"They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people," Mr. Sylvestre said. "We prayed before we started the meeting.""There is no secrecy'
One of the key figures behind the Michigan software company has expressed strong views on Alberta.
On July 1, Mr. Born wrote on social media: "On this Canada Day, I hope this is the last year Alberta is part of Canada." He has also called for U.S. annexation of the province.
A hunter, outdoorsman and commercial real estate agent in Grand Rapids, Mr. Born is the stepson of J.C. Huizenga, a wealthy Republican donor and founder of National Heritage Academies, a network of conservative charter schools in the U.S.
Mr. Wierda is the nephew of Erik Prince, who founded and ran the private military contractor Blackwater before it was sold to investors in 2010, and Betsy DeVos, the education secretary during Mr. Trump's first term.

When a supported indicated some reluctance to share all of her 2,400 contacts, a campaign volunteer repeated the instructions to mark them all by level of support. “They don't know that they're in the database,” he said earlier in the call.
Introducing Bradford’s supporters to the app on the Zoom call, Punia instructed them to give the app permission to access all of their contacts.

“Do not give it partial contact ability, give it full. And what I want to say to you guys here is, you don't need to freak out about this,” said Punia. He reassured them that only contacts they marked as known or potential Bradford supporters would be given to the campaign.

One attendee hesitated as she had over 2,400 contacts on her phone. She was instructed to give the app access to all of them and mark them one by one according to their level of support for Bradford.

Similarly, the app itself is collecting its own data as the campaign encourages users to upload all of their phone contacts and mark the Bradford supporters among them.
Campaign refuses to explain origin of the data
Screenshots taken by Canada’s National Observer inside the Victory app show two features: “Search and Add” and “Neighbours.” The first was an open lookup, allowing users to search for people by name and view the personal information of the top 50 matching people in Toronto from the campaign’s data. This feature was removed by mid-September, before CNO first reported on the app’s usage by the campaign.

Bradford’s supporters were instructed to give the app permission to access all of their phone contacts and mark them one by one according to their level of support for him. They get five in-app coins for each personal contact they submit, and were told this would earn them “rewards.”

“Extreme heat waves and record breaking dry conditions” huh. Interesting. Wonder if there’s anything creating those conditions that we should be addressing raTHER THAN WORSENING!!!!
Mark Carney posts on Twitter: “This morning, I met with federal workers in Ottawa who are supporting the wildfire response efforts in Northwestern Ontario and across the country. This is one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history due to extreme heat waves and record-breaking dry conditions.
Canada is mobilising more than 5,000 firefighters and nearly 300 waterbombers, helicopters, and evacuation aircraft to contain, control, and mitigate the fires.
It's an enormous, complex effort that ultimately depends on dedicated and brave individuals who work relentlessly to keep everyone safe.”

Looks like Scott Gilmore found a way to create the new Conservative Party he was hoping to see in 2017: just take over the Liberal Party and make it into a Progressive Conservative one. Gilmore (no relation!!!) is set to become Carney's principal secretary.
Globe and Mail headline reads: Carney promotes key advisers Scott Gilmore, Maia Johnson in PMO shuffle

The beginning of the article reads: "Two other members of Prime Minister Mark Carney's inner circle are getting a boost as part of a staff shuffle prompted by the appointment of his principal secretary to the Senate and a deputy chief of staff departing to run for office."Excerpt of a National Observer article from 2017 reads:

"Scott Gilmore - an unapologetic "self-loathing" Conservative - has had it with his political party.
If the Tory leadership race is any indication, he writes in his latest column for Maclean's magazine, the Conservatives appear to be dominated by "xenophobic, economically illiterate, populist buffoons." It's time to build a new right-of-centre party, says the former Canadian diplomat, one that values "liberty, equality and facts over ideology."
