Given we now know that in addition to his many other failings (professional and otherwise) #JordanPeterson also betrayed his country for money from Russia, the image needed an update. #RussianStooge should be understood as synonymous with "traitor"

(And for the record: #DanielleSmith's 'Useful Idiot' label should be understood as the "at best" scenario. Who knows what further investigation will reveal? Ditto for convicted fraudster #ConradBlack)

Homegrown protesters who participated in Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” last year had no idea, but Russia used a state-funded propaganda outlet in an effort to exploit their grievances, amplify social divisions and delegitimize the Trudeau government.

What. A. COWARD. The Lucky Pierre is a LYIN' HOUND.

*Not to mention a clear and present security risk.
Anyone who lets up the pressure on this critical issue of Canadian sovereignty is highly suspect too, imo.

@TheGentYYC I think this election call is more about getting a majority that will outlast any potential win by the Federal Conservatives next year. Either so they aren’t tarred with the same brush when PP works his ‘magic’ or to be in a position to carry out aplan to privatize healthcare that won’t get federal pushback from PP.

@TheGentYYC

Right back atcha, Urback:

"Patriotic Cdns know exactly what K.Gould is talking about when discussing the #NSICOP , and extremely online seditious incel Lucky Pierre cultists hate it. And everyone else is embarrassed for R.Urback's overt bias because they know as well as she does that #PierrePoilievre is apparently terrified of what will be discovered if he was to apply for the security clearance that every other party leader already has had a record clean enough to receive."

@goinfawr @TheGentYYC

A secutity clearance at this level also includes an extensive look at who he meets with and for what reason. Do we need to speculate with who?

@rhymerepartee @goinfawr Well until the media does its job all we can do is speculate
@TheGentYYC @rhymerepartee @goinfawr there is enough in the public domain, 20 years worth never mind the last month. we can infer, we are past speculate
@TheGentYYC might get sticky in provinces tho where professional associations (like Peterson's CPO) have board appointed by the provincial government (CPO: 8/18). Hard to argue the legislature shouldn't have oversight authority when they have board seats and your accrediation is mandated BY legislative act (e.g. Psychologists Registration Act 1960). For Smith to do this she'd have to legislate a government veto clause into every association/board's act. There's no way this succeeds. Hopefully.
