This is what the group the CPC, UCP, and PPC endorsed did today. What I want to say to them would probably get be barred from Twitter for life. Deplorables. All of them.
Michael Cooper, CPC MP, in front of a Canadian flag with swastikas on it.
People waving a Nazi flag in Ottawa. This is not a game. This is not shits and giggles. You would be arrested in Germany for displaying this. WTAF is wrong with conservatives that they think this is anywhere near OK?
And so many waving confederate flags, a heinous symbol of oppression and racism. Is this what you stand for, Canadian conservatives? Shame on you all!

Please, please understand this. Fascism is EVIL. It cannot be normalized, under any circumstances. The people on the streets of Ottawa today waving swastikas and confederate flags are not "misunderstood" or "basically good people". 1/12 ImageImage
Let me show you something different. Here is a group of Antifa. Anti-fascists. My Dad is the guy in the middle. Those guys around him are his crew. They were part of an RAF/RCAF bomber squadron. 2/12 Image
Some of these guys didn't come back. My Dad did, but he was changed by his experiences. They went and fought because they saw the evil that fascism is. Millions died because of Nazis. Nazis KILLED MILLIONS of good people, ordinary people, people like you and me. 3/12

To recap:
Truckers who are upset that they can't be anti-vax and cross back and forth between the US and Canada set up a "convoy" of trucks to go to Ottawa, a la the Yellow Vest convoy of 2019.
1/12
A go-fund-me was set up, ostensibly to help cover the truckers' expenses. The organizer, Tamara Lich, has known associations with various far-right extremist groups and sits on the board of the Maverick Party, a western separatist party based in Alberta. 2/12
The goal of the go-fund-me has been raised again and again, from $1M to $2M and up. It currently sits at $5M. The fund is around $4.5 M right now. Complaints to Go-Fund-Me have led to them freezing the account (preventing withdrawals, you can still donate) 3/12

Here is a post from Chicken Little. "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" he cries. Or, maybe it's from the boy who cried wolf. In any case, it's a message from a big lying liar who lies. 1/7
Now, we need to wonder why the conservatives (it's not just Jason Kenney) are lying to Canadians so stridently. And so obviously. If you walk into grocery stores, you see goods for sale. It is an easily disproven lie. What are they playing at? 2/7
Why would they want mass hysteria, panic-buying, and food hoarding? It can't be for the public good (which is supposed to be their job), so what are they getting out of it? They want power. They want the duly elected government unseated and replaced with one of their own. 3/7

A lot of people in Canada, not all, but a significant majority, have had fairly safe and consistent lives here, relative to many parts of the world. Hear me out. We have had no wars within our borders, no famines, no coups, no warlords running regions. 1/23
Most of us don't remember when we had to pay for healthcare (pre-1964). We don't have to decide if we should go to the doctor when we are sick because we don't have to worry if we can afford it. We don't have to risk bankruptcy to have surgery or give birth. 2/23
We have social systems like EI, OAS, and various kinds of social assistance when things go sideways (I am not saying these are perfect, they are not. But more than is available in some places). 3/23

How many of these does the UCP check off? Let's take a look. 1/20 🧵 #AbLeg #abpoli
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism:
The entire Fair Deal thing (panel, etc), equalization referendum, constant complaints that the federal government is treating Albertans unfairly. 2/20
Disdain for Human Rights:
Revoking protections for LBGTQ youth, messing around with AISH support/eligibility, closing safe consumptions sites... 3/20

I was very disappointed to hear on @cbcthecurrent that @mattgallowaycbc and his panel adopted the conservative verbiage to discuss the Quebec levy on the unvaccinated as a violation of the Canada Health Act. Only one panelist pointed out the facts. 1/7
The fact being, this is not legislation to charge the unvaccinated for health care. This is a tax, like the taxes on tobacco and alcohol, designed to change behaviour. It is not refusing to treat unvaccinated patients if they can't pay. They are not being asked to pay... 2/7
for their health care. The conservatives, federally and provincially, are skewing the new law in Quebec and the media are running with a false interpretation. Someone in the conservative brain trust has decided there is an opportunity. 3/7
