🧵What is #rightwingextremism? A loose movement, characterized by a racially, ethnically and sexually defined nationalism. ... often framed in terms of white power, grounded in xenophobic exclusionary understandings of perceived threats posed by such groups as people of colour,
Jews, immigrants, the LGBTQ community and feminists.
Here are the 7 things you need to know: 1. COVID-19 had a significant impact on right-wing extremist activity in 2020. 2. Canadian right-wing extremists appear to be heavily influenced by US activity.
3. Right-wing extremist discussion of Canadian politics focused on Justin Trudeau and the New Democratic Party (NDP). 4. Right-wing extremists in Canada are drivers of disinformation.
🧵The CPC and NDP created a toxic parliamentary environment during a pandemic, exactly when we Canadians expected and deserved to see effective negotiation and collaboration to address our needs. Instead of being collaborators they were obstructionists resulting in this election.
Opposition MPs focused on solely on attacking the gov't in office and/or obstructionism are political misfits. Their antagonism neuters their ability to work collaboratively and produce results that benefit those whose interests they are elected to serve. They won't get my vote.
The CPC agenda is to expand by O'Toole becoming relevant and by creating a case for so called "moderate" or middle of the political road Canadians to vote CPC instead of Liberal. The CPC they do not have a close and honorable relationship with truth. And liars won't get my vote.
Here's a summary of what the minority Liberal gov't has accomplished, despite a toxic parliamentary environment, during a pandemic. liberal.ca/our-progress/
When you head to the polls to vote on Monday, September 20 to vote please consider how much more could be achieved by returning the Liberals to gov't with a majority. liberal.ca/our-plan/

@1MikeMorris I checked Singh's tik tok out and noted he was trying to groom pre-teens & teens to become followers years before they can vote. It concerns me deeply that those followers may think is honestly presenting NDP policy because he isn't. He's gaslighting, misinforming and projecting.
@1MikeMorris 1. Opposition members who focus on solely on attacking the gov't in office and/or obstructionism are political misfits. Their antagonism neuters their ability to work collaboratively & produce results that benefit those whose interests they are elected to serve.
@1MikeMorris 2. Another reason I no longer support the federal NDP is because Singh has a patterned behavior of presenting issues as false dichotomies - informal fallacies based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available.
