Interests in social narratives related to SDH & PH, social cohesion, mis/disinfo, violence, cognitive warfare, and democratic resilience. +MilCulture; Ret. HComd. Plz excuse my autocorrect, we fight ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
This is prob my fav infographic to date on info resilience in disaster situations, & spotting #misinformation or potential #disinformation (alt text provided) #Canada is not immune to interference operations. Full article above 👆 #extreamism #Climate #disaster #emergency #PublicHealth
Still waiting for legal decisions on King… 👀 The judge had some choice words according to cbc and I’m hoping it’s enough to revise this to be stronger worded: open.substack.com/pub/thecohes...
That sounds like amazing work! ❤️ Following gov science then public health, I am not surprised. There are a lot of legit concerns & critiques. And there is also so much spin and disinfo, where issues are being exploited to weaken social cohesion-it’s messy! Hoping this helps some eval info sources👇
Climate disasters are increasingly becoming cognitive battlespaces. #Disinformation #Climate #cdnpoli Wildfires and floods don't just destroy infrastructure: they create information vacuums, competing narratives, and opportunities to erode trust. thecohesionproject.substack.com/p/when-the-f...
Huh. It’s like no one learned from the convoy… open.substack.com/pub/thecohes...
Fun fact - this is a NatSec issue as well as a PH crises. So dumb to cancel surveillance. Cyclospora is a parasite that will hang out for a while - it’s horrible, you don’t want it, & can’t function. They stick to fruit/veg so can’t be easily washed off. Treatment is available via your HCP.
I am far more concerned on his stated current activity with Northwestern PRC, work related to supply chain & food security… and military tech 🤦♀️🤷♀️ Just so many weird things and so many tax dollars 😐😑🫠
that’s not what open Alex says 🤔 Apparently he alsocovers mil tech now 🤦♀️😅 He’s not even qualified in food safety (seriously, requires a bio-related degree & separate post grad degree plus board exams to enforce)… but he sure loves supply chains, chaos, controversy. Totally normal these days 🤷♀️🫠
Can we all just agree that this is #terrorism? 💔☹️😭 #PatriotFront #extremism
I think what pisses me off the most is three years of attempted advocacy for spouses to have “arms-length” reps that could raise significant issues internally. There response the DND ADM was “political neutrality” bullshit… women as a whole don’t have standing in CAF.
clarity: a senior @canadianforces.bsky.social member secured priority standing at MUNMed for their kid (when said kid has priority standing elsewhere) By going public in uniform, and with their title to media agencies, for the purpose of changing provincial regs. This is a bad precedent.
While #Canada celebrates July 1st, Newfoundland & Labrador also observes #MemorialDay. Today is the day of remembrance for the devastating losses at the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel on July 1st 1916. In 30 minutes, the Newfoundland Regiment suffered one of the heaviest casualties of WW1. #LestWeForget
No idea… the cbc vid link was there for part of the interview - Then I question why it was shorter and if it was intended to cause a ruckus. Super weird how this is spinning out already (enough of a reason not to release). I was surprised all the same.
Also want to point this out - there are hostile groups fueling polarization as a way to destabilize people & communities (link below) Rest is also resistance ❤️ pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
That’s far more stamina than I had. 😅 Do you follow Dr Christine Sarteschi as well? I think she has a book coming out soon and also follows - different angle (she’s a MSW/criminologist).
The update includes a short Foucaultian analysis: Why this is a significant biopolitical issue broaching on necropolitics, where state justification in denying rights to a class of people is rooted in failures to provide necessary health resources supporting social determinants of mental health.
You should hear people rant about local military planes… 😬😅😂 It’s become quite the joke among pilots, with some company cashing in with mugs/patches. In light of NAFOs work, I’m conflicted but amused. Humour seems quite potent against disinfo… but reduces seriousness/impacts.
Read a real book… or a bunch. NATO “expansion” is classic BS, as is a fascist Ukraine. NATO is not aggressive, it’s a defence alliance that only responds to serious unprovoked attack.
Never ceases to amaze me on how many are happy to wear masks to perpetrate ideological and political violence, but were living in fear of fictional masking “health impacts” during the pandemic… They will justify anything to undermine gov/institutions and target the “others” in our communities.
Today’s amusing bookcase find: Yes, I am aware that I have a book problem… the weight of half of my belongings is in books 😅😂🙈
The image above has a blur consistent with the Tri-leaf motif stolen from RCAF/Coat of Arms, meant to represent service, unity, & sovereign. Judging by the state of their boots, most haven’t served (at least not the “expo” recruits)… dress and deportment fails from the cosplaying majority.
Persona non grata was made for stuff like this… #Canpoli #cndpoli #PersonaNonGrata pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...
😐😑 So much winning that Trump continues with pause on Russian oil sanctions…
I’ve donated to the Wild Hornets when they were prototyping the #Sting interceptor… that’s now taking out shahed drones and saving lives. I am so very proud to support this group and new defence projects. Not often you see this kind of impact. PS rage donations are valid. #Ukraine #WildHornets
