Episode 8: MP Michelle Ferreri's Transphobic Tampon Video Resurfaces at Status of Women Committee

-

The second meeting discussing Hate Motivated Violence Targeting the 2SLGBTQI+ Community was held yesterday at the Status of Women Committee. Our MP Michelle Ferreri spent her time summarizing a Netflix film she'd recently watched, contributing nothing to the actual agenda issue. As usual, hot air, focused on herself, not moving Canada towards solutions.

During this meeting, a line of witness questioning resulted in an incredible exchange  between Pam Damoff, Liberal MP Oakville North-Burlington and Fae Johnstone, Executive Director of the Society for Queer Momentum, where the thrust of the issue was articulated brilliantly about Conservative rhetoric impacting societal views.

What is particularly striking at the end of this exchange is MP Damoff bringing the conversation back to MP Ferreri's transphobic dogwhistle video from December 2023 that she posted to her 3 official MP social media sites to 140,000 followers. Public outcry, and likely internal Party dynamics dictating messaging control, forced her to remove that video, with multiple bad-press articles written about our MP.

Fortunately the internet is forever:



Yesterday's exchange between Pam Damoff and Fae Johnstone, thank you to both of them. No thanks to Conservative Chair Shelby Kramp-Neuman for again cutting off a witness when their testimony is critical of the Conservative Party of Canada.


Full meeting is available to stream here.

Episode 6: Bots for Ferreri & Intimidating Local Press

Another $20,000 week in salary and expenses for our Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri. And what did our Riding get? MP Ferreri stood in the House of Commons on Tuesday and prefaced her rambling, 18-minute obstructionist speech with "Madam Speaker, it is always a true pleasure and honour to rise in the House of Commons and speak on behalf of the incredible people of Peterborough-Kawartha". You can read what she had to say here  and decide if this actually does represent you. Her speech followed her normal performance arc of starting quietly, getting increasingly theatrical, waving paper around, leaning forward in anger and eventually yelling her points aggressively, this time to a mostly-empty House. But the video clips! Ah yes, the clips. A big change for her with a clip of this speech. Whoever makes these decisions decided that a portion of her speech was Bot-worthy, and Bot-amplify they did, in the thousands on X and YouTube. A small sample: *Thank you to X user Cdns for Tru...

Episode 4: 112 Social Media posts to 136,000 followers! Our Riding? Not So Much

You read that right, folks. My MP Michelle Ferreri posted 112+ times in 5 days Nov 18-22/24 on her 3 official MP social media channels, reaching 136,000 followers.  Those 5 days cost taxpayers just under $20,000 in salary and expenses, based on tracking her spending since being elected. What did our Riding get? Well, let's Examine that. Flooding her channels with videos, statements, attacks on female colleagues, Committee expert witnesses and re-shares, her point is to overwhelm - no one can keep up with 22 posts/day from your elected MP, each one designed to leave you on edge, looking for sources, trying to make meaning out of the rage she's baiting you with.  Personally, I can come to a few conclusions. Conservative support numbers are bad, Poilievre is still the only Party leader to not have a top level security clearance, she's working hard to remain on Poilievre's front bench, Liberal progress is astoundingly positive and the Foreign Interference Inquiry report is ...

Episode 5: MP Ferreri's Lies: Status of Women Committee Having None Of It

-
Taking time to watch Status of Women Committee meetings is a necessary and interesting endeavour. My Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri has quite a history of abusing her allocated time on this Committee, using it as a clip factory to get Pierre Poilievre elected. If you've watched any of it over the last 2 years, you know that this is true.  You may remember this interaction from last year where newly-resigned MP Vandenbeld called out our MP for manipulating Committee time and business for clips: Within minutes of this exchange, Michelle Ferreri posted a clip that misrepresented what had occurred during this meeting - after protesting that this is not what she does! Fast forward a year, and this same behaviour by her has continued bolder & unabated, to Monday, November 25, 2024 and the Status of Women Committee members MP Leah Gazan and MP Pam Damoff are not having it. The topic is Gender Based Violence and Femicide.  MP Gazan opens her remarks, while directly looking at Mi...
