Sask. Party candidate resigns after apparent engagement with QAnon supporters online

"Daryl Cooper, the Saskatchewan Party candidate for Saskatoon Eastview, has resigned his nomination.

"The resignation comes after it was publicized Cooper has been engaging with members of the QAnon conspiracy group online and shared an unproven theory about the cause of pandemics on planet earth."

"QAnon is a fringe belief propagated online that, in part, claims "deep-state" traitors are plotting against U.S. Donald Trump. Its supporters also make more wild claims, including alleging a number of high-profile, and generally liberal, figures are Satan-worshipping pedophiles who are running the world and operating a child sex-trafficking ring that can only be stopped by Trump.

Experts have criticized the group widely and last year, the FBI designated the group a "domestic terror threat" because of its potential to incite extremist violence.

In one of the posts published by Press Progress, Cooper liked a Tweet from a user who referred to Trump as the "Big Kahuna" and claimed he had found a secret message by looking at correlations between Twitter posts by Trump and QAnon supporters."

Doesnt matter, NDP will still fit in a minivan after this election. Marixist leader will be putting forth his resignation in 30 days and then they can go find someone even further left to run it into oblivion.

Qanon is an online chat group. I believe it started as a subforum on 4chan 20ish years ago. Then social media made it popular. Basically a lot of crackpot conspiracy theories.


Glenn is Chuck Chuck. I don't believe it's my place to say who he is as this forum allows people to remain anonymous if they wish.

I'm doing fine btw. Life's busy.

I have no idea what a Qanon might be, but if this word can be used in Scrabble, it is a game changer.

Yes, yes....a "Q" word without a "u" is always nice. Now see if you can place that Q on a double letter score square with the word intersecting a triple word score.

Qanon is a real word actually. It's a musical instrument.
