@petedako @StillDelvingH @carolecadwalla @NancyMacLean5 PMJT has always been a thorn in Trump’s side.

But the rhetoric fro the GOP far right, since the Ottawa occupation, has increased significantly.

I enjoyed that article.

It seems most of Canada & the globe didn’t comprehend how informed Canadian govt is about Putin.
@petedako @StillDelvingH @carolecadwalla @NancyMacLean5 They’re about to find out Canadian government heavy hitters are substantial geopolitical leaders respected by their peers.

Freeland and Trudeau especially.

No wonder they attempted to overthrow parliament in February. PMJT & Freeland have been integral to building consensus. ImageImageImageImage
@petedako @StillDelvingH @carolecadwalla @NancyMacLean5 3D chess.

Trump is still playing checkers.

Diplomacy vs brute power.

I’ve long suspected the wealthy global oligarchs & plutocrats influence on policy prevented any interventions that would stem Putin’s expansionism. Because it would impact their profits.
@petedako @StillDelvingH @carolecadwalla @NancyMacLean5 It’s nice to know there are politicians who will refuse to compromise on human rights, global security and democracy to appease the super wealthy. And they seek to expose those who have made those compromises & those who demand them.
@petedako @StillDelvingH @carolecadwalla @NancyMacLean5 I think they mean to expose the whole lot. That makes Canada and them a huge target.

And it gives me pride to call myself Canadian.

@DrJaredWesley would you know how to get this movie screened in Edmonton?

@anelsona can help make it happen.

@barbetta1 is working on Southern AB. Can we work on Northern AB? @TheRealDKGray

We may even have an opportunity to get commentary for Canadian context from Anne.
@timethief @MgS_2011 @kasza_leslie @roz_avanthay @sqirlgirly @papillon4444 @natasha367b @mini_bubbly @Charlie85915085

This movie can be made available in your community for viewing.

I don’t know any allies in Yukon, NWT or NU, or I would copy them too.
The documentary movie explains what is currently happening in democracies around the world.

Please spread the word so we can get this movie 🎥 out in Canada. Smith, Moe, Ford, Higgs, Houston, several CPC MPs and many provincial conservative MLAs (MPPs) are part of this group.

So now we have 2 political science profs sounding the alarm.

This is serious folks. One protest isn’t going to cut it.

Notably absent from the criticism are some popular pundits and profs who refuse to make note of this democratic backsliding.
This is not just normal politics.

Without a doubt this political party is seeking to shrink democratic liberty, rights and freedoms.

The time to pushback is NOW! Until they stop trying to dismantle democracy. Image
Democracy is fragile. It must be protected. UCP is using classic tactics to attack democracy:

1. Manipulating or undermining confidence in election processes,
2. Marginalizing or weakening elected legislatures,
3. Eroding the independence of courts and the rule of law,

It amazes me.

I spoon feed people evidence, but no one wants to take this bitter medicine.

Cons have had a published playbook that lays out the plan to remove liberalism and democracy since 2005.

Harper used it to weaken or dismantle democratic institutions.
When Harper was PM, he worked within the so-called moderate conservatives neoliberal agenda. PP represents big “C” conservatives: socially conservative, Christian nationalist & radically extremist.

Stockwell Day proved that Canadians were not going to accept radical reform.
He was laughed out of the leadership of the Canadian Reform Alliance Party for his firm belief in human beings sharing space with dinosaurs. People often remember him for showing up to a press conference on a jet ski. But he is a devout big “C” Christian Nationalist conservative.

Wasn’t that the whole point of limiting the Supreme Court’s powers in Israel?

Ditto Hungary?



None of this is new. @TrumpFile

Even Canada has a 2005 playbook detailing how to install conservative governance in perpetuity. hrw.org/report/2013/05…

The table of contents is clear. But the conclusion is even more revealing.

This playbook was written in 2005 by a socially liberal small “c” conservative.

Harper used this playbook to change Canada.

It’s why we don’t recognize Canada and why it’s institutions are failing.

Thirteen think tanks including world renowned paleolibertarian favourite Fraser Institute.

A media destroyed by foreign ownership. Harper tried to amend the Broadcasting Act in 2011.

Cons want to remove CBC & CRTC. No pesky regulations that block hate speech & Fox North SUN TV.

This is called the ole switcheroo.

This is why liberals and lefties should stop pointing fingers. The left is not very good at it. But the right excels at double standards and hypocrisy.

Yesterday, PMJT revealed that CPC is led by a man courting white supremacists.
But today, people are repeating the word “whacko” in relation to the PM and BC drug policy and debating whose leader was more ethical.

No one is discussing white supremacy being given legitimacy by PP this past weekend.

Who gives a crap about decorum & process in QP?
Apparently it’s more important to focus on the process and decorum than the fact the attack on the Speaker was a coordinated event by CPC & perfectly demonstrates that CPC IS courting white supremacists and attacking the first Canadian black Speaker for doing his job.

I need you to understand that this is not a criticism of communism, it’s a criticism of anarchy.

Communism is not what happened in Russia 1922. It is what happened in Russia 1917.

Please read some history.

Honestly, how people make up such vapid stories is disturbing.
Russia was a monarchy prior to 1917.

Weak leadership of Nicholas II & an uninterrupted feudal system were inadequate to provide for the whims of the elite and the sustenance of the poor. He became untenable in an time when rigid social status was being challenged by liberalism.
Marxism is a 19th century Enlightenment influenced theory of social organization and economics that is an ideal, not reality. For all the effort Marx made to emphasize his ideas be brought to fruition through revolution, the public often confuses Marxism with anarchism.
