@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.

Don’t you dare blame Canadian centrist and left wing politicians for the apparent BS being demonstrated by far right saboteurs in Atlantic Canada.

We are done with “both sides” have very fine people or divisive leaders.

This is a saboteur’s destabilization narrative.
No right exists to access crown land. And private land which abuts common/crown land must be protected from forest fires.

The forest is literally a tinderbox and every precaution must be taken. Individual rights don’t exist when the possibility of massive destruction is a risk.
The narratives being offered by libertarians, chaos agents, saboteurs, democratic subversion agents and “free-men-on-the-land” are designed to create doubt about the legality of the mandates and fines.

None of the rest of us are prepared to sacrifice the province.

This is the interesting and relevant part Gil.

Many Canadian’s lives and livelihoods are on the line. Trump has imposed additional tariffs to the 2.5% Canadian exporters would generally pay to avoid the costs of being CUSMA compliant. That’s no longer an option.
Changes in the environment require adaptation to preserve viability.

Canada is not forcing vendors and exporters to adopt one position over another. But the federal government has chosen to pivot and seek alternative markets rather than cow-tow to a maniacal wannabe dictator.
Exporters have options. Keep trading with US and become CUSMA compliant or find a new market.

Personally I believe doing both would be an easier transition for any vendor who is heavily reliant on US trade markets.

So I came across a post from this Postmedia journalist and had to use it in a lesson about propaganda.

It’s so blatant, and will make comprehension of complex issues easier for those who find policy discussions boring or difficult to follow.
My new project is tying current issues to policy content so everyone can understand what behaviours, values and opportunities policies are attempting to change, influence or create.

Deconstructing this propaganda is helpful to learn how policy works.

So you must read the article to comprehend its deconstruction.

The headline is titillating and grabs the attention of the consumer immediately.

Non-citizen immigrant gets off easy for attempting sex with what he thought was 15 year old.

Who wouldn’t be against that?

It’s interesting that so many switch allegiances with every utterance.

If you’re observant you can see who among your follows is unable to trust what’s happening is in their best interests.

“There is nothing to fear but fear itself” is good advice about now.
FDR was judged harshly when he shut down banks immediately after being elected.

In fact most of the sentiments being expressed now are not new. Similar sentiments were echoed across the US and Canada against FDR and Hoover & R.J. Bennett and Mackenzie King.
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes and right now it’s rhyming.

Past fascists didn’t have modern technology, but they did have memes and political cartoons.

Most are the very same rhetoric we hear today.

So I’m going to do a cartoon essay to prove it. Image

It amazes me how easily people respond to radical left & right propaganda.

The radical left declares PMMC to be worse than Harper and people believe it without question.

Why?

These radicalized extremist assholes are no different than the far right. They play on your fears.
However, this incident does indicate PMMC may require the assistance of professional comms team to emphasize what he is saying. I’m not a professional comms expert, but I can read bureaucratic speak. And that’s what this post is; clear concise bureaucratic language. Image
PMMC probably believes it is difficult to misinterpret. But there is a major discrediting campaign being conducted against him. And I don’t believe he has much experience with this level of disinformation.

So he requires an experienced professional counter propagandist’s help.

As an unrecognized Métis indigenous person, it has been my burden to endure discrimination and oppression by the mainstream white community as well as First Nations.

This is a burden of which most Canadians remain ignorant. But I’m going to set that straight, now!
I’m Métis. I’m not white and I’m not First Nations. I’m something in between. Métis have their own culture. It is not exactly like First Nations and is made up of elements of both sides of our ancestors. Not just the FN side.
In Canada, it’s FN and the Inuit who have suffered the most oppression. Their way of life was targeted for elimination. But so too were the Métis. Just in different ways.

Inuit & FN were oppressed thru apartheid type communities that treated people like second class citizens.
