The 2022 trucker convoys were a crucial time for Canadian politics.
If you want to understand the dynamics still at play in our country today, begin there.
This is why I made a deep dive on the topic. Please check it out if you're interested.

Olivia Chow reëlected as Mayor of Toronto, a reported 54% of the vote (41% for runner-up Bradford).
In every possible metric, this is a significantly bigger win than when she was elected in 2023.
So many people online were telling us Chow was worried and this was going to be a very close election.
What was that based on? Why didn't it materialize? Why did she get reëlected by so much? I'm curious.

This is just an ongoing project, you can see what I've verified so far on my site.

Hasan Piker lied about getting banned from the UK. They declined his ETA & told him to apply for a regular visa, so he claimed his visa was revoked (not true) 'at the behest of Israel', then admitted he lied a week later on LBC.
But 5mo. later, he still references this.
Here's an interview where he randomly admits that the only thing he heard from the UK HO is they declined his ETA (yet he jumped on twitter and said his nonexistent visa was 'revoked' and blamed Israel):

Here's his initial tweet, where he piles on with his crazy lying uncle Cenk Uygur to call his situation a "travel ban." xitter.cf/i/status/2061206542205…
His audience only remembers his initial lie. The truth fades, his lie remains.
This is how toxic movements create their own alternate reality, how they build up a repertoire of commonly accepted falsehoods.
(Yes, Donald Trump operates the same way.)
Klein did not "defend genocide" at all much less for 3 years; did not go around attacking any pro-Palestine or Israel-critical voice.
Because these are indefensible lies, people shift the scope of the claim to "Weeeell but I kind of feeeel like Ethan was hostile to Palestine?"
It has everything to do with what you said.
You are claiming that Ethan was overall NOT hostile to pro-Palestine causes & that statements like Klein "spent 3 years defending genocide" & "attacking all of Israel's critics" are lies. Correct?
Well, what I initially pointed out is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect to see from someone who IS hostile to pro-palestinian causes.
Just like if someone claimed to be pro trans-rights or pro BLM and only spoke of folks like Blaire White or Candace Owens as supposed positive voices for those movements, you'd rightfully think that was a huge red flag & assume the person holding up BW & CO wasn't genuine at all about their advocacy.
What's crazy about Piker is the longer you're aware of his existence, the more you realize he lies about everything. Everything. Every topic, every conversation. He is the most fantastically dishonest person I've ever been aware of. It's fucking relentless.
Hasan explains the Ethan Klein situation to congress candidate Angela Torres
"Spent the last 3 years defending Israel's gen*cide while simultaneously attacking all of Israel's critics..imploded his business..he has come after virtually every single person that is on the internet that has been defending Palestinians..while simultaneously claiming that he's an ardent supporter of Palestinians..trying to smear..frivolous litigation..he's the horrible monster"

Mehdi Hasan has tweeted more about me in the last month than the war in Ukraine. He loves Putin.
The ad didn't ask "why does Rogers support Israel's actions in Gaza."
It asked "Why does Rogers care so much about what Israelis want?" — after telling us that Americans can't afford bananas because you're funding "Israelis" getting healthcare.
"No one said Jews," he says.
If you're a serious person trying to be involved in politics, never let Cenk Uygur anywhere near your campaign, your organization, your production room, or anything else. He's just a clown who tries to insert antisemitic conspiracy theorist nonsense into everything he touches.
New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan. We have to suffer here at home, so Israel can get all its wars. That’s why they buy politicians like Mike Rogers. He promised to serve Israel “unconditionally,” but never made that promise to you.
Elon Musk tweeting on main & via his @America account have been working overtime promoting posts telling people that Talarico is a far-left extremist who hates Texas, wants to take your kids & force them to be trans, & loves voter fraud.

I've never been to a Cheesecake Factory, but any time I seen pictures it always seems like everything there is gold or gold themed. So I thought it was just a joke about that? I didn't think Obama was trying to imply it's a trashy place that only redneck losers go to.
