On the hunt for truthiness.
All Bias. All Influence. Just the stuff we make up. For Stories That Matter to Caledon
GUESS WHO by Sam Cruel
This is the first edition of The Pointless, a new muckraking version of the news, bringing Caledon the best of conspiracy theories, QAnon myths, coffee shop gossip, and opinions founded in misinformation. We take great pride in fact checking nothing that comes across our editorial desk. We also exclusively support positive opinions about people and politicians of whom our publisher approves. Don’t worry, dear gullible reader, if we can’t find a source for the story we need, we just make it up!
In this premiere issue we begin with a simple quiz. Guess who made this statement:
“We will see exactly what happened to Brampton 30 years ago happen to Caledon,” ____?_____ said. “This is a developer driven plan supported by members of our community who are clearly working for larger corporate builders, not the hard working residents of Caledon who do not want their beautiful community planned by private interests that will turn our community into a string of crowded subdivisions, warehouses, and asphalt plants over-run by large commercial transport trucks, just like Brampton.”
Here are your eight choices Caledon, in alphabetical order:
- Doug Ford
- Annette Groves
- Jennifer Innis
- Sylvia Jones
- Marolyn Morrison
- Kyle Seeback
- Allan Thomson
- Justin Trudeau
