#NaziGate🧵

Canada's #Conservatives* like #LeslynLewis, #ColinCarrie & #DeanAllison roll out the red carpet for German Nazi #ChristineAnderson then claim, impossibly, they didn't know who she was. #Poilievre himself now claiming her Hate has no place here in spite of having platformed her words just last year.

Calgary's #PetroleumClub invited the Nazis in. What does that tell you about the Petroleum Club?

"#Conservatives" have been telling us who they are for years no4

#cdnpoli #yyc

I'm not a reporter but if I were I'd want somebody on the horn representing Calgary #PetroleumClub's membership to see if they agree with #Poilievre's assessment of the person they just fundraised for, to the tune of $350 a plate, that her views were "vile" "racist" "hateful" & had no place in Canada's politics.

#CalgaryPetroleumClub not only #DinesWithNazis but fundraises for them.

Poilievre condemns 'vile' views of German politician seen lunching with Conservative MPs | CBC News

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is attempting to distance his party from a far-right German politician whose views have been condemned as hateful and racist, and who was photographed lunching with three Conservative MPs earlier this week.

CBC

I'm not a reporter but if I were I'd ask #PathwaysNetZero whether any of their member orgs are also members of the pro-Nazi #CalgaryPetroleumClub & indeed were in attendance that night.

Better yet, hey #Suncor, were any of your board members in attendance when the #CalgaryPetroleumClub hosted/fundraised for a Nazi?

How about you, #Cenovus?

#ImperialOil?

How about you, #CanadianNatural?

Do Canadians deserve a clarification?

Calgary Petroleum Club regrets event featuring far-right German politician Christine Anderson

Christine Anderson’s tour of Canada, which included stops in Calgary, Hamilton and Toronto, has caused political ramifications, including questions about a three-hour lunch with three Conservative MPs

The Globe and Mail

I'm not a journalist but if I were I'd look into the market value of an evening fundraiser held at #CalgaryPetroleumClub What's the going rate? Who paid the bill or do Nazis dine for free?

[UPDATE: evidently it was antivax/ProCovid Pastor Artur Pawlowski that gave the Nazi the hat]

Somebody gave the Nazi #ChristineAnderson the #WhiteHat at the disgusting #CalgaryPetroleumClub fundraiser and every decent Calgarian deserves to know who that person was.

Calgary, we have Nazis in our midst. They must be named and shamed. Internet, do your thing.

The #NaziGate stuff makes me MAD. Right here in our city. There's no forgiving what we now KNOW is the Pro Nazi (pro Neo Nazi? Does it matter?)
#CalgaryPetroleumClub. We SEE you. We need to find out who the rest of the NAZIS in attendance were. Need to be named, shamed & removed from power forever.

@TheGentYYC +1 I've been mad about this for about a year now. #CTV #CBC #GlobeAndMail all elevated this obvious ghoul, banking cheap click bait at Trudeau, Canada, and the world's expense!

#NaziGate

Europe’s worst people hate Justin Trudeau. So why is that a story?

People saying nice things about Justin Trudeau doesn’t get clicks in our current media landscape, and it doesn’t drive the kind of anger that plays so well on social media, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

@TheGentYYC
It was Pastor Artur Pawlowski who gave Anderson the hat.
Pawlowski was arrested a year ago at Coutts after encouraging protesters to back out of an agreement they had made with RCMP to leave the area and saying people must be willing to sacrifice their lives.
@AlisonCreekside I'm familiar with the Pastor but didn't know he was behind the hat. Thanks for the update. Alison!
@TheGentYYC
Knew you would know! - just thought I'd add some context for those who might not.
Pastor Art gave some bizarre invus to vloggers at that WWCAD Calgary meetup - including that Vancouver was interested in joining his the Independence Party of Alberta. 🤣​

@TheGentYYC Oh so has the #GlobeAndMail figured out who she is now?! I suppose they didn't know when they ran this Trudeau smear, with downtown Ottawa occupied and Ukraine very recently invaded.

@skidsravine @TheGentYYC The #GlobeAndMail is a piece of verbal trash. Their articles can be counted upon to mislead, misrepresent, misinform and just plain print whatever their handlers dictate. #CdnMedia and the disappearance of #TheFourthEstate
@TheGentYYC They regret it. Well ok then.
@CanadianCrone They regret getting caught and they regret people actually care
