Court Rules Scientology Has No Right to Postbank Business Account
September 6, 1996, Associated Press
http://www.apnewsarchive.com/1996/Court-Rules-Scientology-Has-No-Right-to-Postbank-Business-Account/id-08018aa80d15fe4862131e8eeb98577f

STUTTGART, GERMANY STUTTGART, Germany (AP) _ A court ruled Friday that
a German bank can refuse to handle business accounts for the Church of
Scientology.

At issue were accounts the group had at the postal bank, a common
conduit for businesses and individuals to transfer funds throughout
Germany. The banks are located in post offices.

District Court Judge Hans-Juergen Voigt ruled that, although everyone
has a right to postal services, that did not apply to Postbank, which
was changed in January 1995 from a public to a private credit
institution.

Charges against Scientology in Belgium
September 6, 2007, Dave McGuire, Radio Netherlands
http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/bel070906

After a ten-year investigation, Belgian prosecutors have charged twelve
members of the Church of Scientology. The accusations include fraud,
extortion, illegal practice of medicine, and infringement of privacy
law, among others. The decision opens the way for Scientology to be
considered a criminal organization.

Fred Thompson Channels L. Ron Hubbard
September 6, 2007, Bruce Bartlett, The New Republic
https://web.archive.org/web/20070911202147/http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=20070910&s=bartlett091007

The story of the FairTax's provenance is one that I can tell with some
firsthand knowledge. In 1993, fresh from a stint at the Treasury
Department, I spent a few months at the Cato Institute. I was filling
in for Steve Moore -- now an editorial writer at The Wall Street
Journal -- who took a brief leave from his job as director of the think
tank's fiscal studies program to advise former Texas Representative
Dick Armey. It was there that I was visited by a man named Steven L.
Hayes, the founder of group called Citizens for an Alternative Tax
System (cats) that promoted the nrst, and who was, as Moore pointed out
to me, a prominent Scientologist.

It wasn't hard to figure out the Scientologists' motives for hawking
the nrst. The IRS had refused to recognize Scientology as a legitimate
church -- a fact that seemed to enshrine their popular reputation as a
"cult." To remedy this situation, Scientologists waged war against the
IRS. At various points, the Church attempted to infiltrate the tax
authority and even hired private investigators to examine the private
lives of IRS officials. And the same impulse behind these measures led
them to devise the nrst. One church spokesman told National Journal's
Paul Starobin, "We thought, If this [discrimination] is happening to
us, there must be a lot of people to whom this is happening.' ... How
could some positive changes be made?" Since nearly every state has a
sales tax, it would be a simple matter to get them to collect a federal
nrst, rendering the IRS instantly superfluous, a ripe target for
abolition.

Radical Scientology's Cross Over Mecca
September 6, 2010, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/radical-scientologys-cross-over-mecca/

I've got two and one half words for those Miscavige sheeple who might
point to the following promotion piece and repeat to you some hackneyed
propaganda line like, "you see, Miscavige really is following through!"
Check out the promo and then I'll give you a good two and one half word
response.

In my opinion, the only appropriate two and one half words in response
are: You're Welcome.

If anyone attributes this "committment" suddenly being made by
Miscavige to open the mecca in the near future to anything other than
word spreading far and wide in the field that Super Power is a
Miscavige Ponzi scheme, he or she must be a full-fledged, diamond
encrusted, DM sheeple, with honors.

Fire-raising threat to Scientologists
September 6, 2011, The Scotsman
https://www.scotsman.com/news/Fireraising-threat-to-Scientologists.6783450.jp

The Evening News revealed last weekend that the controversial group had
applied for a street traders' licence for the Newkirkgate shopping
centre, where they planned to carry out "stress tests" and discuss the
organisation's beliefs with passers-by.

In the wake of the news, the Scientologists' Edinburgh base, Hubbard
Academy of Personal Independence on South Bridge, received the threat,
contained in a letter, on Tuesday.

Defectors Claire and Marc Headley say Church of Scientology tried to bargain
for info on critics
September 6, 2012, Joe Childs, Tampa Bay Times
http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/article1250163.ece

The Church of Scientology tried to bargain with two of its most
high-profile antagonists after defeating them in civil court recently
by offering to wipe out a $42,000 debt in exchange for information
about other church critics.

Former church staffers Claire and Marc Headley battled Scientology in
state and federal court in California for 3? years over unfair labor
practices, forced abortion and human trafficking claims. They lost on
appeal July 24.

David Miscavige's personal counsel has promised Vanity Fair:

The sting of the jury verdict will last longer still; far longer than
any pleasure from racing to publish a poorly researched and sourced
story.

Dave Miscavige, if you follow through on your threat, I will grant you
power of forgiveness. Don't bother retaining a process server to

send it FED EX cash-on-delivery. My treat.

forgive almost $43,000 in court costs if Marc and Claire Headley agree
to turn over information about former Scientology executive Marty
Rathbun and "others involved in disparaging" the church, "including any

The $43,000 Bounty
September 6, 2012, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/the-430000-bounty/

As reported last month, the Marc and Claire Headley vs. Scientology Inc
lawsuit dismissal was upheld on appeal, see Headley Case Dissmissal
Upheld. The case however is not over.

While using the litigation process to make things as painful
financially for the Headley's as possible, Scientology Inc lawyers very
carefully racked up a 'costs bill' designed to ruin the Headleys. A
cost bill lists those costs associated with litigation (filing fees,
deposition and hearing transcript orders, etc.) that a prevailing party
may collect from the defeated party at the end of the case.

What some people do not know is that when the case was dismissed by the
lower court in 2010, and while the Headleys were preparing their
appeal, Scientology Inc took the unusual course of aggressively
pursuing collection of their $40,000 plus cost bill from the Headleys.
The Headleys had to prepare and argue more costly motions to stay
collection pending appeal. The lower court denied their motion, but the
court of appeal granted it - putting collection of costs on hold
pending the appeal.

Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange attacks given Scientology detox used to

Actor Tom Cruise co-founded the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification
Project, where participants were each given vitamins and nutritional
counseling and participated in daily exercise and sauna sessions. He
defended it at the time as helping the workers recover.

Critics, many of them scientists, have said there is no evidence the
'Hubbard Method' does any good.

It was unclear if the Vietnamese government was aware of those concerns
before agreeing to try the project.

Big Brother Invites You to Attend
September 6, 2013, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
https://www.mikerindersblog.org/big-brother-invites-you-to-attend/

There has been considerable discussion about the email circulated
yesterday requiring information be sent in to Wig Adams at Flag for
photo ID cards to be issued.

Here is the email being sent out from Flag in response to that with a
much shorter list of information being asked for. What made the email
yesterday so believable is that they ARE in fact planning to issue ID
cards to keep the unemployed, bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes
of the internet out of Dave's Palace and Nuremberg Rally Events. See
earlier post on this here.

Notice the non-committal tone of this email "you received an email" and
"to answer the many inquiries we prepared a special information sheet".
They don't want to acknowledge they were scammed and that the
outrageous email asking for all sorts of personal information was not
in fact real because so many people thought it was! What a joke this
whole operation has become.

The Smith's Let Another One Rip

Fresh news hot off the gossip train. These guys just let 'em rip and
apparently expect everyone to be too polite to comment on their
crassness.

New prices are part of GAG II! How special.... AND, based on a thorough
study of everything LRH ever wrote or said about pricing (wonder if
that includes the fact that that Academy Levels are supposed to be
equivalent to one month average wage...?)

They already cancelled Service Completion Awards - funny, I read the
despatch traffic from LRH where he came up with that idea. Believe me,
nobody OTHER than LRH could implement an org giving people cash for
completing service. But I guess their thorough review didn't include
that.

VIDEO: Scientology Leader David Miscavige's Weird Explanation for the IRS
Victory
September 6, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
https://tonyortega.org/2013/09/06/video-scientology-leader-david-miscaviges-weird-explanation-for-the-irs-victory/

We have some rare video of David Miscavige, leader of the Church of
Scientology, giving a drawn-out and very strange explanation for why
and how the IRS battled and ultimately caved to the church over its tax
exempt status in 1993. The speech is from the New Year's Eve 2000
Scientology event, which we hadn't seen before, and it was edited into
a funky video presentation that was assembled in 2007 by J. Swift, who
tells us the thing hasn't been online for several years.

We'd love to get your thoughts on this pre-Anonymous bit of church
criticism, and Miscavige's weird explanation for what motivated the IRS.

We've watched it a couple of times now, and Miscavige's rap seems to go
like this...

Congruence
September 6, 2014, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2014/09/06/congruence/

Excerpt from upcoming book Clear and Beyond:

The fundamental two-way communication process that all scientology
methodology derives its workability from existed before L. Ron Hubbard
ever wrote a word on the subject of the mind. All of its components
were developed, far beyond the degree of sophistication that
scientology ever treated them, while Hubbard was still engaged in black
magik rituals in Pasadena. They were perhaps best explained and
demonstrated in Rogerian client-centered therapy. It would behoove
scientologists to study of it. The best place to start would be On
Becoming a Person by Carl R. Rogers (Houghton Mifflin, 1961).

What made Hubbard popular initially with publication of Dianetics was
his simplifying and codifying critical principles of client-centered
therapy thus potentially opening the process of self-actualization to
far more people. Hubbard himself has acknowledged that Dianetics'
fad-like initial appeal rested largely on the promise of taking therapy
out of the hands of professionals and putting it into the living rooms
of lay people. Much of that particular appeal was lost as dianetics and
its progeny scientology became more mass-production oriented,
expensive, exclusive, and cult-like. Not surprisingly, those negative
developments can be traced to dianetics' and scientology's attempts to
short-cut vital client-centered therapy principles in the first place.

Scientology has an interesting history with Washington D.C.

On July 4, 1955, the "Founding" Church of Scientology was opened there,
even though churches had already been created in Camden (1953) and Los
Angeles (1954).

The first raid on a Scientology church happened in Washington in 1964
when the Food and Drug Administration decided it had heard enough of L.
Ron Hubbard's health claims and the agency confiscated about a hundred
of his "e-meters."

More AOSHANZO News

Here is the pitch being presented to the local residents about the
planned new AOSHANZO and CLO ANZO building.

And it is clear now that they plan to move the CLO Offices here from
the Dundas white elephant.

But if that is true, they are being very dishonest about the hours they
will be keeping - everyone will vacate the premises by 10 each night?
Not likely. I have never seen a "management" organization that did not
work until midnight as their published schedule, all night on Thursday
night, and routinely until 1 or 2 in the morning.

(VIDEO) Critical Q&A #21
September 6, 2015, Chris Shelton, Critical Thinker at Large
https://mncriticalthinking.com/2015/09/06/video-critical-qa-21/

The show where I answer your questions. Here are the questions from
this week:

(1) Thank you so very much for your important and interesting videos!
My question is: I heard that the OT courses consist of the attendee
just being delivered a number of documents to read, handwritten by LRH.
So for x-thousands of dollars they just sit there and read a couple of
pages, that they then have to give back? Is that true? If so, couldn't
the absurdity of the situation rather be seen as a test about the
status of indoctrination? Or, are the OT courses in a classroom
situation, with one or more attendees and a tutor? Would you describe
this? Thank you very much & viele liebe Gruesse from Germany.

(2) When you were in Scientology did you or any of your fellow members
ever ask why L Ron Hubbard would drop into that strange faux Boston
accent for certain words then back to his regular voice for the rest of
the sentence?

Scientologist controls college for naturopaths

CNM was set up in the UK in 1998 by Hermann Keppler, who then
established colleges in Ireland, America, Canada and South Africa. He
owns 80% of CNM's operations in Ireland, which include branches in
Dublin, Cork and Galway, according to the Companies Registration Office.

Internal records of course completions at the Church of Scientology
have been published online by Anonymous, a hacking collective that has
protested against the church worldwide, and held demonstrations outside
its Dublin mission. These records indicate Keppler has spent years
progressing up the ranks of the church, which was founded by science
?ction writer L Ron Hubbard in the 1950s.

A separate internal document disseminated by the church shows an image
of Keppler with his arm around a woman who was campaigning for a
Scientology media centre.

VIDEO LEAK: Rare look at Captain David Miscavige giving shipboard Scientology

On Friday, we showed you a wild five-minute Scientology testimonials
video which featured actress Erika Christensen. The video included
dozens of Scientologists gushing in rapid-fire manner about how some
repackaged 1950s lectures by L. Ron Hubbard had changed their lives.

"It's straight out of this universe," Christensen said at the tail end
of the video. "It is! It's straight out of this universe!"

It turns out, that five-minute testimonials video was first revealed at
a very special gathering: Opening night at Maiden Voyage 2006.

As Louis Theroux's Scientology movie hits theaters, its main subject accuses
it of deception

https://tonyortega.org/2016/09/06/as-louis-therouxs-scientology-movie-hits-theaters-its-main-subject-accuses-it-of-deception/

Maybe it's all our fault. In the spring of 2012, Academy Award-winning
producer Simon Chinn (Man on Wire, Searching for Sugar Man) took us to
lunch at the Dos Caminos restaurant on Houston Street in Manhattan to
talk about Scientology.

He told us he was planning to make a feature film on the church and had
decided to cast BBC presenter Louis Theroux in it. But he was still
trying to figure out what aspect of Scientology to cover.

Oh, that's easy, we told him. If you wanted to understand what was
happening with Scientology in 2012, you needed to consider former
high-ranking Scientology executive Marty Rathbun, we said, and we told
him all about the Squirrel Busters, and Rathbun's blog.

Exposing the Lies of Marty Rathbun - My Scientology Movie

I expose the truth behind what happened on set between Marty Rathbun
and the BBC on the film set of My Scientology Movie. In My Scientology
Movie, I discuss my story, as well as performed in reenactment scenes
of experiences of others within the Church.

Marty Rathbun posted a blog discrediting the BBC and My Scientology
Movie. However, I was on set with Marty and I tell the truth of how it
was actually working on set with Mr. Rathbun.

Greta Van Susteren Will Leave Fox News Channel
September 6, 2016, Brian Steinberg, Variety
http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/greta-van-susteren-fox-news-channel-1201852686/

Greta Van Susteren, who has anchored early evening and primetime
programs for Fox News Channel since 2002, has left the cable-news
outlet, a separation that one person familiar with the matter
attributed to "a financial disagreement."

Brit Hume, a veteran journalist who spent more than a decade as a
senior news executive in Fox News' Washington bureau, will take over
her 7 p.m. slot on the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news network at
least through the election. He will appear this evening, the network
said Tuesday.

Van Susteren could not be reached for immediate comment. Her husband,
John Coale, an attorney who has worked as her agent in the past, could
also not be reached for immediate comment. In an exchange with Fox News
veteran Geraldo Rivera, the anchor told him, "Geraldo, I will miss you.
" Van Susteren last revised her contract with Fox News in May of 2013.

TALLAHASSEE - Attorney General Pam Bondi is preparing to speak next

Former Inspector General Suing State For Wrongful Termination After Narconon
Whistleblowing
September 6, 2017, Dana Hertneky, News On 6
http://www.newson6.com/story/36306162/former-inspector-general-suing-state-for-wrongful-termination-after-narconon-whistle-blowing

A state Inspector General who wanted to shut down the Scientology-based
Narconon Arrowhead drug treatment facility is suing the state. Kim Poff
says she was fired after blowing the whistle on an attempted cover up.

A motion asking for a jury trial in the case was filed in Federal Court
Tuesday. In the filing Poff says she not only lost her job with the
Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse when she pushed to shut
down Narconon, but was then fired from her new job at DHS when her
attorney told News 9 about what was going on.

On August 19th, 2014 in this story - Narconon Investigators Sue
Department Of Mental Health And Substance Abuse - News 9 reported on
Poff's firing from the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse.
In court filings at that time, Poff alledged that Commissioner Terry
White and other leadership in the agency attempted to hide the findings
of her investigation into the deaths of three people at the facility
because they "did not want to get involved with litigation involving
the Church of Scientology." Poff says she was terminated when she
continued to push the state to shut down the facility.

Scientology The Aftermath S2 Special 1: the Aftermath

https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-the-aftermath-s2-special-1-the-aftermath/

A bit of a breather tonight.

We have 5 "Special" episodes this season that will be interspersed with
the "regular" episodes that recount more person stories. These episodes
are intended to be more educational and explain some of the terminology
and activities of scientology that are often touched upon in the main
episodes.

We began with a more detailed explanation of the Bridge. It is
something we are asked about often and we touched on it in an episode
in Season 1 where Leah and I spent a little time with one of the show
producers explaining to him what the Bridge is.

Scientology's ultimate prize: For the first time online, the current 'OT 8'
materials laid bare

https://tonyortega.org/2017/09/06/scientologys-ultimate-prize-for-the-first-time-online-the-current-ot8-materials-laid-bare/

Last night's episode of the A&E network's Leah Remini: Scientology and
the Aftermath was special in a number of ways. Through the first season
and into the second, Leah had said she didn't want to get into specific
Scientology "beliefs," and she mentioned the Xenu story in particular,
saying that it was irrelevant to her mission to expose Scientology's
abuses. But last night, she got into Xenu and the rest of Scientology's
"Bridge to Total Freedom" in a big way.

In our preview on Monday, we suggested that if there was one thing this
episode should be remembered for, it was the way Leah exposed Operating
Thetan Level 8 - the top auditing level in Scientology - in a way it
never has been explained for a large audience.

She and her mother eviscerated the top of Scientology's "Bridge."

Doug Ford has yet to respond to breach of trust allegations made by Rob
Ford's widow
September 6, 2018, Kevin Donovan, Toronto Star
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/09/06/doug-ford-has-yet-to-respond-to-breach-of-trust-allegations-made-by-rob-fords-widow.html

More than three months after being accused of breach of trust and poor
business acumen in a $16.5 million lawsuit, Premier Doug Ford has yet
to respond with a defence.

The legal attacks against Ford came from his late brother Rob's widow
Renata, who filed a statement of claim against Doug, his brother Randy
and Ford company Deco Labels on June 1, just days before the election
that elevated Doug to power.

Renata has alleged in her statement of claim that Doug, as one of the
trustees of her late husband's estate, committed a "breach of trust" by
selling without her knowledge or approval Rob's share of one arm of the
family business to Randy for $1. She has also alleged that Doug and
Randy are such poor executives - she claims "neither Doug Ford nor
Randy Ford have the education and business ability" to run the company
- that the firm's value has plummeted.

Elisabeth Moss snows another reporter about Scientology, but this one really
hurts

https://tonyortega.org/2019/09/06/elisabeth-moss-snows-another-reporter-about-scientology-but-this-one-really-hurts/

It's getting very frustrating to see otherwise competent journalists
let Elisabeth Moss get away with murder in interviews. Marlow Stern at
the Daily Beast is no pushover, and he at least asked Moss more than
one question about her involvement in Scientology. But she gave him
three non-answers that amounted to nothing, and it irked us that
Stern's editors then claimed that the Daily Beast had a huge exclusive
with Moss "opening up" about Scientology.

Well, no, not really. And it's happened again, with a new piece in the
London Sunday Times, a newspaper with a legendary reputation, in a
lengthy interview with the Handmaid's Tale actress this weekend.

Interviewer Chrissy Iley hardly raised the issue of Moss's portrayal in
The Handmaid's Tale being at odds with her involvement in an
organization that was investigated by the FBI for labor trafficking and
that for decades forced young women to have abortions so they could
keep working 112-hour weeks.

French-language TVA debate to go ahead after Trudeau agrees to participate
September 6, 2019, John Paul Tasker, CBC News
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/french-language-tva-trudeau-1.5273089

After some uncertainty, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday agreed
to participate in a French-language debate hosted by TVA alongside the
leaders of the Conservative, NDP and Bloc Qu?b?cois parties.

The television network, among the most-watched in Quebec, has scheduled
the debate for Oct. 2 in Montreal - a day after a foreign
policy-focused debate hosted by Munk Debates is slated to take place.
TVA did not invite Green Party Leader Elizabeth May or People's Party
Leader Maxime Bernier to participate.

May said it was "shocking" that TVA would exclude her from the contest
given the "distinct dent" the party has made in Quebec polls in recent
weeks. She called on the other leaders to boycott the debate until all
leaders are allow to participate.

How Maxime Bernier hijacked Canada's #ClimateChange discussion
September 6, 2019, Caroline Orr, National Observer
https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/09/06/analysis/how-maxime-bernier-hijacked-canadas-climatechange-discussion

Tweets from and about People's Party of Canada (PPC) Leader Maxime
Bernier are dominating the #ClimateChange discussion on Twitter,
according to an analysis of political tweets from the past 90 days.

The findings highlight how easily social-media hashtags can be hijacked
by small groups of accounts. This activity can ultimately derail
important discussions while also amplifying extreme voices on issues
like the climate crisis.

One striking example is a flood of over a thousand tweets that closely
followed Bernier's well-publicized attack on climate activist Greta
Thunberg.

Liberals Allege Scheer Will Still Pursue Private School Tax Credit
September 6, 2019, Ryan Maloney, Huffington Post
https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/andrew-scheer-private-school_ca_5d72a1a3e4b07521022bdb53

During the 2017 Conservative leadership race, Scheer proposed a tax
deduction of up to $4,000 per child for parents who send their kids to
independent schools, and a $1,000 credit for those who homeschool their
children.

However, Scheer's office told iPolitics this summer that Tories won't
pursue the policy "at this time," putting the blame on Liberal deficits.

And it's those three words - "at this time" - that Liberals have seized
on to launch the broadside, playing out against the backdrop of a
possible teachers' strike in battleground Ontario.

TORONTO ? Proposed changes to ambulance rules in Ontario could see
paramedics take patients to facilities other than a hospital emergency
department, or treat them and release them on scene.

People calling 911 for medical assistance could also be directed to
other facilities in the community.

The proposals, posted this week on the province's regulatory registry,
are aimed at easing hospital overcrowding.

Scheer promises to create 'Canada Cyber Safe' certification for digital

September 6, 2019, Giuseppe Valiante, National Post
https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/scheer-promises-to-create-canada-cyber-safe-certification-for-digital-products

MONTREAL - Conservative party Leader Andrew Scheer says if elected his
government would create a certification system to let consumers know if
certain digital products meet federal security standards.

The certification regime was one of several data protection and
cybersecurity policies Scheer introduced today during a speech to a
business luncheon hosted by the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan
Montreal.

Scheer says the "Canada Cyber Safe" certification would ensure products
that incorporate artificial intelligence or that can access the
internet meet ethical and safety standards.

Stephen Harper Should Stay Silent If He Wants Andrew Scheer To Win
September 6, 2019, Wyatt James Schierman, Huffington Post
https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/stephen-harper-andrew-scheer_ca_5d714edfe4b0a606aa4f7371?utm_hp_ref=ca-alberta

After all, Harper's return to the federal political sphere has been
utilized to spur on campaign donations not just by the Conservatives,
but by the fundraisers within the Liberal Party. The Grits seem to take
any chance they can to fear monger the evils of the Harper era to
increase their financial contributions.

As such, Liberal strategists are practically salivating at the mouth,
what with these added resources to link Andrew Scheer with his
controversial predecessor. Prepare to hear a lot more of those ads
declaring that Scheer is nothing more than "Stephen Harper with a smile.
"

As if Scheer hasn't had a challenging enough time defining himself in
the minds of voters - especially when matched up against the outsized
personalities of Doug Ford and Jason Kenney. The unpopularity of the
Ford government in particular has forced Scheer to disassociate himself
from his provincial counterpart in voter-rich Ontario. Now, with
Stephen Harper's return into the political fray after consulting behind
the scenes, Scheer will face a further round of negative comparisons
with yet another of his conservative peers.

Suspicious accounts spread disinformation in Alberta election, federal report

September 6, 2019, Emma McIntosh, National Observer
https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/09/06/news/suspicious-accounts-spread-disinformation-alberta-election-federal-report-says

Canadians appear to have manipulated the online conversation during the
2019 Alberta provincial election using social disinformation strategies
pioneered by foreign entities, a federal government report released
Friday found.

Though there's no evidence the co-ordinated, "inauthentic" social-media
behaviour influenced the results of the election, it mainly came from
supporters of the United Conservative Party, which is now in power. It
also came from lobby groups not connected to any party, far-right
figures and hate organizations, the report found.

"Domestic actors are also emulating the tactics used by foreign actors,
within the context of provincial elections," read the report.

Change. Forward. Together. For you.

They are the buzzwords of political campaigns worldwide, used time and

letters to fit on a podium sign.

On Tuesday, the NDP became the fifth and final major party to unveil
its campaign catchphrase, hoping "In it for You" will catch voters'
attention.
