This is what your rant about NDP not wanting to associate with Antifa inspires.
People who have a narrow view of the world feeling self righteous and lashing out at others because they don’t see the world in black and white. @IAMRockwell
Precisely what I was describing to you as the reason why ABNDP is choosing not to overtly support Antifa.
Because it has negative connotations about some of the people who purport to be Antifa.
Don’t think I didn’t notice you ducked out after this started.
Hostility to discourse to understand fascism & its dangers is required. Because people like this don’t help the cause against fascism.
It makes people unsure of the definition and appearance of fascism shut down.
It makes asking questions impossible for fear of being labeled a fascist. And it resembles the behaviour from the far right so much that it’s difficult to discern what’s fascism and what’s ideological rigidity, unless they have specifically studied fascism in its many forms.

Clear escalation from Saudi Arabia regarding Canadian sovereignty, targeting Canadian citizens of Saudi origin, and targeting their relatives and friends still in Saudi Arabia.
China is doing similar, though less outwardly violent, with Chinese diaspora.
One of the investigations made about General Michael Flynn was his willingness and behaviour to provide the location and ability for Turkey to remove a Turkish refugee Permanent Resident of US who had dared to criticize Erdogan.
It’s absolutely terrifying how easy it was for fascists to sneak in the back door using religion and Christian faith to go largely unnoticed.
It’s horrifically shocking that we are so far along in a fascist uprising before the public begins to sense something is wrong with the right side of the political spectrum.
It’s mortifying how quickly this behaviour is normalized by the majority.
Coordinating 10 provinces and 3 territories negotiations to adopt national standards, parameters and to absorb some of the cost in their budgets takes time and willing participants. Public pressure has to be immense. We have 5 provinces toying with private healthcare.
But people need coverage now.
Who is responsible for coverage? Not the feds. It’s provinces. Pharmacare is provincial purview.
Even if feds imposed legislation, there’s this thing called the NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE.
But inmates, regardless of the horrific crimes they commit, are human beings and deserve humane treatment while incarcerated, not torture.
That includes being attacked by other violent prisoners who have no concern for other’s wellbeing. Kinda why some of them are there. No?
This article is so biased it’s painful to read.
There are people who choose violence. The fact they choose violence is often a large part of why they are incarcerated. There is no acknowledgement of that reality in this article.
