Because the wealthy own the largest channels that most people use to inform themselves, the narratives that challenge their dominance will never reach as wide an audience as they deserve.

#KlondikePapers
Those with wealth will use their power to suppress criticism and dissent. When criticism and dissent slips past their mass media conglomerates, there is always the courts—which have been built to protect the wealthy.

Because the working class has been squeezed to the point that almost half of Canadians are just a few hundred dollars from insolvency, it is virtually impossible for the working class to stand up to their oppressors.

Capitalists form lobby groups to fight collectively against the interests of the working class…
…they use their vast fortunes to ensure that dominate political parties work for them…
…and then those captured governments use their power to further oppress the working class.

There are many examples of this behaviour.

And all along anti-worker propaganda runs in the background *manufacturing consent* for the capitalist dominance you and your life.
What is revealed by interviews by @JesseBrown / @CANADALAND with @Pick61989 is that the wealthy will do anything they can to maintain their grasp on power.

Important reminder to everyone that @bostonpizza is a member of the Conservative anti-labour lobby group, Restaurants Canada, which opposes living wages for workers and supports the #UCP and their anti-2SLGBTQ+ social policies.

Jordon Holm is listed as a board member.

It’s fair to point out that @bostonpizza isn’t the only company that supports the #UCP despite their anti-2SLGBTQ+ position.

@PizzaPizzaLtd also shares those politics. 🧵👇

If you want to find a list of vilains in the province—and their sponsors—just pay attention to the companies who advertise on the boards.

Many will have ties to Conservatives. Image
An obvious connection is Jason Kenney, former lobbyist for the so called Canadian Taxpayer Federation, who is now on the board of the Alberta Trailer Company.

Somehow ATCO has become a behemoth in overcharging you to get heat. Image
Pathways Alliance: “This group includes Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, MEG Energy, and Suncor Energy. Together, they control a whopping 95% of Canada’s oil sands production.”

This is the future that people like Murray Edwards, The Irvings, Exon, and other oil companies made for us. This is the future that Conservatives and other neoliberals enabled through capitalism. Only the future is now.

Drill, baby. Drill. https://t.co/qbOC4wmW4J
Have you ever watched a pot boil? A bubble of steam forms at the bottom of a pot and erupts outward to the surface of the water.

Now we’ve got a sort of slow moving “bubble” of heat getting “stuck.”

Look at it.

Look at the sea temperatures. This is pretty much what environmentalists have been warning about since I was a kid. I grew up watching @DavidSuzuki)
This is it.

Canada is experiencing it’s worst wildfire season. There are tremendous issues with unaffordable housing and homelessness. Drug poisoning is now the leading cause of death in BC.

And this is what Conservatives do with their time in Parliament.
Let’s look at some of the ghouls jumping on this complete-waste-of-government-time bandwagon.

Here’s usual suspect “I don’t know how this works” Lantsman wasting time.

And here’s a Conservative lobbyists celebrating inaction on… everything I guess. Another ghoul.

Few Canadians have caused more harm to the world than Murray Edwards. The Irving dynasty is one of them. For generations they have ruled New Brunswick with an iron fist. Irving considering exiting the oil business is a big deal.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
The Irving family is one of the largest land owners in the world. For generations they have robbed the citizens of New Brunswick and of Canada.

mondediplo.com/2019/04/13cana…
Recently the Irvings sold the English Language that they used to dominate the media in New Brunswick to Postmedia. Jamie Irving was appointed to the head of the Canada-wide propaganda company.

Four years ago I launched this account with the intent to be a sh!t-posting satire account in the lead up to the 2019 election.

In that time, much has changed. Including me.

1/x
For one thing, I learned that good satire is reeealy hard to do.

Some people on here make it look easy. To those who can find humour in dark times, that is your gift, and I thank you.

I pretty much gave up on being a satire account.

2/x
Paying the closest attention to politics that I ever had placed horrific things front and centre.

There are too many to mention.

Just read @bailrs’ list. Follow him while you’re there.
