As my first #thread about Deputy Minister Jody Thomas identified, there's an issue with "torqued" #CDNmedia at Global News (Mercedes Stephenson) + Globe & Mail (Robert Fife) surrounding the Canadian Armed Forces

Most readers are unaware of Mercedes Stephenson's (Global News) undisclosed conflict of interest pertaining to her husband, Dan Mader. Widely described as an on-again/off-again union, Canadian Forces & #CDNmedia were invited to the wedding in 2015

In political circles, Mercedes Stephenson's husband Dan Mader is known as campaign manager for Erin O'Toole & Doug Ford's Conservative parties

Together, Dan Mader (reg'd lobbyist & Conservative campaigner) & the parent of Global News not only rewarded political journos, but also helped raise $380K to fund political journalism
No one questions this conflict of interest as a serious #ethics issue

Mercedes Stephenson's husband, Dan Mader, was further joined by former Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer's wife on the gala's organizing committee. Here is the latter, all smiles with Robert Fife (Globe & Mail, mentioned in my 1st thread RE Jody Thomas)

Though the annual event is seen as an opportunity for Ottawa to exhale, the assembly of politicians, lobbyists & journalists to legitimize & fund certain reporters has the potential to influence news coverage that no amount of comedic relief can sanitize

This is why it never phased the powers that be when Brian Lilley (Sun News) was outed as the bedfellow of Conservative Premier Doug Ford's director of #CDNmedia relations, Ivana Yelich
Their relationship mirrors Stephenson/Mader

Moreover, when Dan Mader was chief of staff in #DND, he was lobbied about ship building by James Irving himself

This eventually led to the VAdm Mark Norman scandal that Mercedes Stephenson reported on

In fact, Irving complained RE Stephenson for interfering in ship building contract

He claimed she reported #disinfo that Davie already won

When decision came months later

Mercedes Stephenson wasn't censured for using her position as a journalist to interfere with #DND procurement in alleged conflict of interest
Instead she was rewarded by ex Conservative PM Harper when he broke his #CDNmedia silence

Unfortunately for the clique of political journos & propagandists, some #CDNmedia ages poorly
As Stephenson (Global News) fawned over Trump's leadership w Harper, Michael Diamond was hanging w Roger Stone at the height of plotting a #USpoli insurrection

TPL was conceived as private market answer to O'Toole's budget cuts for veteran support (during Harper Conservative govt)

But w/o #CAF/#DND oversight, its trauma program became unsafe, due in part to *Ford govt*

It's a #BraveNewWorld in the fields of #PressFreedom, #Disinformation & #OSINT. What I've shared in the 2 threads is barely the beginning of the sexual misconduct narrative. I'm still finishing my #SpecialReport & it'll be approx 100pgs with 800+ sources

The whole story hasn't been told yet & the biggest parts of it are still missing. I've said enough to give pause for thought & hopefully a reason not to rush to judgment
The rest is coming... & it's a gamechanger
