Total bullshit that someone else was arrested for being the president of Antifa. Everyone knows that I am President Antifa. Anybody who says otherwise is the Juan Guaido of Antifa. I train the supersoldiers, I distribute the Soros bucks. Me, I do all the work. How about some recognition. Whatever. We promised some space for @CircleKrack_YYC to respond to his critics about that time he tried to mate with a truck.
It’s time to meet my critics head on.
I reached out recently to “Team Advantage” to address a cyber-bullying incident that occurred because of this podcast community last week. They wouldn’t let me on the show, but after several days of begging they agreed to allow me this space in their newsletter to address what happened.
First, a bit about me. Most Albertans know me for my content connecting them to local brands, my volunteer social media work for the police, my videos of downtown Calgary addicts, and my live-tweeted weekly police ride-alongs with Constable Barry (@CstBarry_YYC), Calgary’s coolest tattooed social media cop.
I’ve since become something of a household name on Calgary Twitter over the years. Recently however my posts have come under fire by your contributors, and your show’s toxic listeners. One such incident was so abusive I was forced to lock my account for the first time in my 12 years on Twitter for several hours, so now I am speaking out.
The incident in question involved a photo of me that has now become infamous.
Now I will admit, it did look bad to pose with Calgary Police Service’s armoured tank while current world events unfold. It also didn’t look great that it happened during an anti-police protest. I will own that mistake. However, the abuse I experienced online over it was excessive.
First of all let me be clear: allegations from your listeners that I was “humping the tank” in the image are false. It may have appeared that way, simply due to an unfortunate camera angle, but in reality I was merely hugging it to better admire its contours, its armoured protection, and its magnificent Barret .50 Cal mounted turret. I did not “absolutely drain my hog” into its gas tank, despite what your vulgar community says.
For this simple post I was called things like “asshole,” “bootlicker,” “tank dick,” “shitheel,” “bad writer,” a “hack...”.
Additionally, users associated with your podcast told me that if I love @CstBarry so much I “should just kiss him already,” which is unfair since I haven’t posted any ride-alongs since his suspension for undisclosed reasons last year.
Alberta influencers have taken a lot of flak from your community recently for being “politically tone deaf shills.” To those who feel this way, I will say this:
We do post a lot of commercial content on our platforms, but during elections we are the ones who start telling everyone to vote. We do tweet at the police to get people arrested for having iPhones while homeless, but we are the ones who retweet charitable community causes like the Kids Help Phone. We are also the ones who boost local small business, while you all do nothing.
Most importantly, whether you like it or not, we are here, connecting Albertans to their favourite local brands, like Peter’s Drive-In, and Freshii. Whether Albertans want to hear us or not, we are here to stay.

🧠I’m not saying that cartel bankers are pumping and dumping CalFrac shares but I’m also not not saying it.
👩🎤Might be a train between Banff and Calgary soon. I humbly suggest designing it to look like a stake pointed at the heart of Banff AirBnB owners. Now to work on my dream of a high-speed rail line to just one Red Deer area donut shop.
👣Starbucks will close around 200 stores in Canada over the coming years as they fuck around to make more profit. At around 20 service workers per location that could be upward of 4000 Canadians out of work with no severance.
🎩CBC very concerned about the courts being real busy and full and not so much about, uh, people dying in a fucking meat factory, which is why the courts will be busy in the first place.
