@_llebrun Luke, this story has everything: right-wing extremists, UFO conspiracies, the Mexican Embassy, sketchy sponsorship claims, fake authors, PBS, the Canadian Football League, and now former MuchMusic VJs. Thanks so much for sharing this! It's been an amazing read.
UPDATE 2: WPBS in Watertown, New York has just cancelled its media sponsorship of the Ottawa Food and Book Expo in response to this story. “The information in your article is shocking and we had no idea about any of this,” the PBS affiliate told @pressprogress.

@_llebrun @stu_neatby Being from PEI, I really question the logic in this idea....Moncton or Halifax are the more sensible options (ie Population). Plus as someone said, there are no moose on PEI lol

The Ottawa International Writers Festival (@Writersfest) has issued a statement clarifying they are not the same org as the Ottawa International Food and Book Expo. They’ve gotten angry feedback, in part because the Ottawa Book Expo bought the URL: ottawawritersfestival dot ca.
@_llebrun Good reporting, Luke.
I have to say this is one of the weirdest stories I've ever read and really speaks to the importance of being careful what you read over the internet and the lengths the far-right is willing to go to grift everyone. Thanks to @CommunitySolid2 and @_llebrun for exposing this.

@_llebrun “Internet café”? The 90s called…they want their “business plan” back…
Since everyone is sharing pics of their dogs: I've shared a few things about my new boy, a gentle giant, and how far he has come in our work together. Here's the other day, during work on scenting/tracking. I love his focus and intensity in these exercises.
@_llebrun Hey Luke, I noticed the phone number is the same for the festival and this other group. Not sure if you were aware or if it means anything, just an FYI.
