1. When someone, let’s say a Prime Minister, says he is going to tackle issues other someone’s, lets say Conservative politicians, have not tackled, privileged white men are threatened. They fear their failure to act on these issues is perceived as immoral. #cdnpoli #Feminism
2. The solution? Demand perfection. Root out every failure, criticize every success. Claim that if it is not all done immediately and perfectly, there was never any real plan to do it in the first place. Go after everyone who supports him.
3. At all times, put obstacles in the way. Distract w faux outrage. Label everyday issues an affront to the “cause”. Amplify anyone who is willing to criticize the leader. Paint yourselves as the *true* supporters of the cause, and label your critics to silence them.
4. The goal? An end to this silliness about addressing societal issues. Make some token gestures and appointments and get on to the things Canadians “really care about”. Restoring white men to their rightful place.

1. Is it just me who finds it troubling the CPC want a woman to face consequences over sexual abuse in the military?

Yet again, this issue has been weaponizing for political purposes. The true aim is not just to take down this govt, but also to retain the status quo. #cdnpoli
2. Sexual abuse is not resolved w laws, policies or even an external complaints process (tho one should have been implemented earlier). All of these systems are rooted in the same notion of marginalizing women. Rape used to be a crime against the husband or father of the victim.
3. These systems still make women responsible. Women have to report or he will do it again. Women have to testify or he will get away w it. Women have to recount what happened to them over and over again, to doctors, police and in court. That is doing the “right” thing.

Does anyone else see the connection between the horror of our LTC homes and #DefundThePolice ?

If we are serious about addressing how we care for the vulnerable we need to do a whole lot more than divert funds from policing.
Criminal courts and jails are full of people who came into contact w police because medical or social services staff asked for police interference. Police are constantly required to deal w mentally ill people because the health care system refuses to do so.
Don’t believe me? I suggest you spend a day in Edmonton mental health court. Feel free to stop in at youth court. In both courtrooms you’ll hear social workers, public trustees and healthcare staff saying they can’t help, and asking the judge to put the accused in jail.

Long thread:

People ask, how can you still want to vote for Trudeau after this. (Well actually, some people sneer, clearly thinking those of us who continue to support him lack their great wisdom and judgment). I will tell you why I do.
First, I think I’ve been clear in my comments thus far that I question Dion’s factual and legal conclusions. At the worst, based on his conclusions, Trudeau intentionally went as far as he believed he legally could to get WR to grant the DPA, but didn’t intend to cross the line.
But let’s say he did intentionally cross the line. How do I vote, knowing that being ethical is so important for someone in power. Well, I have to balance that w what happens when Cons are in government. Who wins, and who loses.
