@terrynewman At city hall too

[Caryma Sa'd - Lawyer + Political Satirist @CarymaRules]

As far as antisocial or unlawful behaviour at protests is concerned, it’s a relatively small network of organizers across the political spectrum whose events attract troublemakers and extremists, resulting in costly police operations.

The pattern appears particularly pronounced within the Omnicause protest circuit, particularly its Antifa-aligned subset.

Deputy Chief Frank Barredo says the Counterterrorism and Security Unit can be engaged, and Project Resolute “looks at all aspects of protests… whenever possible, we try to hold people accountable.”

Focusing solely on individual arrests risks missing the forest for the trees. The challenge is understanding the interconnected networks and recurring actors that repeatedly generate demands on police resources and create conditions conducive to escalation.

Dear followers, Did you know the govt doesn’t release text of the bill until after the press conference ? Think about that when you read the media stories tomorrow.

@ibrenlaw This clip explains transitional demands well. My favourite examples in Canada are 'Status for All!' and 'No More Borders!"

@ibrenlaw In Marxist theory they call this transitional demands https://t.co/AqmlkqiVk8

@RS613506 I've seen a lot of foreign interference through Canadian activists over the years. Venezuela, Qatar & Iran have been quite active here too.

[Greg Renouf @grenouf]

We're seeing similar interference here in Canada. For example, look at this photo of the Cuban Consul General speaking at the Communist Party of Canada’s annual meeting earlier this year.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.

Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities:

1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.

Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities.

The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil “revolution” to our country and around the world.

[Greg Renouf @grenouf]

@RS613506 The Vietnamese ambassador was at the Communist Party of Canada convention too. These are clear instances of foreign interference, imho
