Thread. Things that aren't social distancing / make things worse:
- you're under 25 and think you can't get sick nytimes.com/2020/03/18/hea…
- you have a few friends over because you know them and think theres only a few cases so what's the big deal google.ca/amp/s/beta.ctv…
- you have your brother and sister in law over for dinner because they're family google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn.…
- you go to a worship service because you think nothing really bad can happen google.ca/amp/s/www.live…
- you go to the gym because you tell yourself you're healthy, it won't affect you, and you'll wash your hands afterwards google.ca/amp/s/www.live…
- you go on a vacation because flights are cheap right now and tell yourself the likelihood of infection is low google.ca/amp/s/globalne…
- you are privileged enough to live in a G7 country so you think your health care system can take care of you if you catch it google.ca/amp/s/www.nbcn…
- you feel a little under the weather but you go grocery shopping anyway google.ca/amp/s/www.live…
- you're feeling fine so you go visit your family member google.ca/amp/s/wgntv.co…
- you haven't travelled anywhere so you think you can't catch it pix11.com/news/coronavir…
This is serious, people. Distance yourself. Be smart. You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

1/ Thread. My party is in the middle of a leadership race, it just received a "what went wrong" report, and now Harper has stepped back from the fund. So let's talk about a vision for corporate governance. How the party is governed is just as important as what it stands for. Image
2/ First, current state. Right now, our governance, in theory, is managed between the Leader (elected by members), the Fund (appointed by leader) and National Council (NC) (elected by members).
3/ Current state - the role of NC is extremely limited with no say or direct oversight of budget. It's members don't have clearly defined mandates and aren't specifically trained to execute fiduciary responsibilities associated with a multimillion dollar going concern.

1/ Thread. There's a lot of truth in here. Our party can and must offer a vitally missing counterpoint to the dogma of the crowded space on the left in Canada. Big, bold, visionary stuff. Over the last few years.... nationalpost.com/opinion/np-vie…
2/....I feel like our party has been cowed into submission that somehow transactional politics are the only thing that we should be doing; that big bold transformative ideas on the right are verboten simply by virtue of them not being Liberal.
3/ Partisanship works when agree on policy outcome, but boldly and unapologetically offer alternative policy instruments to get there. Where my party has encountered issues is when we are perceived to ignore a public policy concern altogether.

@AndrewTumilty @lisakinsella 1/ Hey guys - I say this with my partisan hat off, and with a legit desire to dialogue on this. Mocking the separatist sentiment is wrong. It is real, it is rooted in legitimate concerns, and is widespread. It's not the same as it was 30 years ago.
@AndrewTumilty @lisakinsella 2/ The people who feel like Canada is hanging them out to dry are from every demographic - new Canadians, young and old, straight and gay. The feeling is much more widespread than what is being depicted in a few rallies held by a few people.
@AndrewTumilty @lisakinsella 3/ The threat to national unity is real, and it is driven by policies against the energy sector. There's a sense that those who tell Albertans that they can't work in their industry are hypocrites; taking equalization payments and not taking personal ownership for climate.

#Thread: The Saudi-UAE war on #Yemen began 5 years ago with full support from Obama/Biden. Together, they manufactured the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

Obama never apologized & Biden only came out against the war in 2019.

This is what they did to Yemenis from 2015-2016:
First, let's establish that this is, and always had been, a US war on #Yemen.

On day 1, the Obama White House issued this statement declaring "logistical & intelligence support" to Saudi: obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-offi…

Their authorization of military intervention was unconstitutional
Every day, US bombs were dropped from US jets refueled mid-air by the US Air Force on targets chosen with the help of US military officials.

..and made Goa as their headquarters. And while they were at it, pretty much unchallenged, they even ruined the ancient Kapaleeswarar Temple to build a Church over it.
Their next target, the super profitable port of Mangalore.

Their only bad luck, just 14 kms south of Mangalore was the small settlement of Ullal - ruled then by a feisty 30 year old woman - RANI ABBAKKA CHOWTA.
Initially, they took her lightly and sent a few boats and soldiers to capture

"Today, #China faces the spread of another mysterious disease, a #coronavirus, which so far has killed 17 [+] people & infected > 540 [++]. And while Beijing’s response has improved in some ways, it has #regressed in others. It is #censoring criticism."

"It is detaining people for spreading what it calls 'rumors.' It is suppressing info it deems alarming. Though China’s censors are busily scrubbing the Chinese internet, the... online community is registering its disappointment & alarm over Beijing’s handling of the new virus..."
CCP "has tightened its grip on the internet..media & civil society. It has deeper pockets & a greater ability to control the flow of info.[Thus], many of the media outlets, advocacy groups, activists &others who held the gov't accountable in 2003 have been silenced or sidelined."

1.
 #TulsiGabbard is the de-facto leader of the emerging leftwing sovereign populist movement in the United States.
I suspect this is by design.
In due time, DNC and RNC will be dissolved and replaced by a #PatriotParty.
She will be one of the leaders.
2.
 She's never going to win the democratic primary, but many voters will see how the DNC and MSM have ganged up on her and will not vote for Hillary or Michelle. Some on the anti-war left might even vote Trump as an act of protest and reprisal.
3.
 If she were to run as an independent. She would siphon votes from the Democrats, not from Trump. She would actually help him. Why would a republican vote for her instead of POTUS? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

#Thread. Alright let’s deal with the Hecht Op-Ed/steaming pile of crap. First from a journalism perspective it should never have been published. It is a hot mess of exaggerations, fiction, and leaps of conclusion to fit the author’s - ignorant - narrative.
First never mind #Denmark I found the the most puzzling statement to be about #Switzerland, below. The Swiss are not governed by four ethnic governments with each ethnicity sticking to their fourth of the country. This claim, as far as I can tell, is total fiction.
Matter of fact after an afternoon researching Swiss governance, ethnicity, etc. The descriptions of #Switzerland used common terms like “diverse” “a melting pot.” Having been to Zurich it is also very nice and well worth a trip.
