I try and avoid cheap, tawdry comparisons between modern politics and Hitler’s Nazism, Stalin’s Communism, and Mussolini’s Fascism.

But in this case, ya gotta call a spade a spade.

1/

#cdnpoli
Comms Director for the CPC @SarahFischer__ has gone beyond blatant #propaganda / #disinformation.

She now sees fit to use language like “liquidation of a people” in order to describe the new Canadian #passport.

Think about this.

2/

#cdnpoli
“Liquidation of a people”.

Unless you’re talking about bargain bin shopping, what does the word “liquidation” conjure?

If you’re even a casual student of history, it’s eerily reminiscent of the Nazi #liquidation of the Jewish ghettos during WWII.

3/

#cdnpoli
Seriously. This is where @PierrePoilievre and his comms director @SarahFischer__ have taken their narrative.

Liquidation of a people and their history. In 2023.

Is this by design?

You’re goddamn right it is.

4/

#cdnpoli
It’s precisely what people like @SarahFischer__ and #JeffBallingal (CPC strategist) are paid to do:

Win by any means necessary…even if it means cheapening sacred, solemn histories to do it.

It shows you where the @PierrePoilievre team is at.

5/

#cdnpoli
They’re telling you EXACTLY what type of people they are.

So…believe them.

Then ask yourself:
Is this who/what you want leading your country?

Say what you will about @JustinTrudeau…but at the very least, he can be counted on to show even a modicum…

6/

#cdnpoli
…of class, and a dignified demeanour.

@PierrePoilievre has none of that. He farms rage like Pablo Escobar farmed coke.

Even if the rage was righteous and authentic- that’d be one thing. But his rage is pure 100% snake oil…designed to drill into his base…

7/

#cdnpoli
…of inflamed, fragile “patriots”…frightened at losing their grip on what they feel entitled to always own/command.

Shame on you, @PierrePoilievre.

Shame on you, @SarahFischer__ .

Likening anything in Canada to a despotic #tyranny is a travesty.

8/
It’s an affront to the millions who suffered and died at the hands of true tyrants. You degrade their memory with your rhetoric.

In response: kindly fuck off.

I, like many others, want NO part of the Canada you seek to create, as well as the means by which you do it.

Fin.

A thread…

This video has been making the rounds on Twitter.

This is @MichaelFordTO - Minister of Multiculturalism and nephew of @fordnation…highlighting the 900 people of Indian heritage that currently live in Ontario.

#onpoli

1/
900. Nine. Zero. Zero.
In Ontario.

A quick google search indicates over 750,000 people of Indian heritage in the province. It took about 30 secs to find that info.

One would think the Minister of Multiculturalism would have access to the same info I have.

#onpoli

2/
All jokes aside…this is emblematic of the @fordnation govt in so many ways.

We see a minister who is woefully unqualified put in a position simply because of who he’s related to…ineptitude rewarded by nepotism…classic Doug Ford.

Yet this is just the veneer.

A Sunday Morning Doug Ford 🧵

It starts with simple questions:

WTF?
How is Doug Ford still a thing?
How is he polling in the high 30s?
Do people not see the in-your-face corruption?

How is anyone in this province even remotely enamoured…

1/
…with a barely educated, barely literate, former strip mall hash dealer with a penchant for folksy populism, and blatant grift?

The man got elected on a platform of simply not being #KathleenWynne. And sadly, enough people in this province hated the thought…

2/
…of being governed by a lesbian woman that they bought into it.

Remember when the most memorable plank in that platform was ‘Buck-a-Beer’?

But supporters will point to windmills and spending as excuses for why Ford trumps Wynne (see what I did there?) .

And yet…

Yesterday, I tweeted about How I’d hold @fordnation responsible if my parents got COVID.

This is still my position.

My mom has debilitating osteoporosis, as well as a series of other ailments. My dad is battling multiple myeloma, and is in desperate need…

1/
…of a hip replacement - worn out by years of work in a shitty factory where fat cats got rich by exploiting his labour.

They’re vaxxed. They don’t go out much. And when they do, they wear masks.

They depend on me a lot, for transportation, for groceries…

2/
…for medical appointments, etc. I’ve done my best to keep them as safe as possible. It’s been pretty successful thus far.

I received a lot of support for my sentiment. But my tweet also brought out a lot of dipshits.

I received many responses spanning a wide range…

An education 🧵…

Yesterday, I tweeted about a joke / prank that I played on my Gr. 10 history class. Based on some responses I got, I feel the need to clarify a few things, lest some misconceptions fester into fact.

Read on.

1/
It was unit ‘test’ day…
Topic: Canada and WWI.
The “prank” involved making them think that they were going to write an essay in response to post-grad type history questions.

(See pics.)

The first pic popped up for approx 15 seconds. Then I flashed the second pic.

2/
The majority of last night’s respondents could see this for exactly what it was: a practical joke played on a group of teens…in order to have some fun, and bring some levity into a setting that has already been rife with isolation and anxiety for many months.

A rant/thread.
Bear with me…please.

I’m absolutely gobsmacked by what I’ve been seeing and hearing…especially these last few weeks. People who I would normally consider sane, educated, stable, well-informed, community minded, are now peddling blatant disinformation.

1/
Many of them, and those that defend them, are passing it off as harmless ‘differences of opinion’.

Really?
If so, I’m missing something.

I just recently read a report that COVID patients are pulling vital resources away from paediatric patients, patients with…

2/
…heart conditions, patients who need certain surgeries, etc. According to that report, most if not all of the COVID patients were/are unvaxxed.
Widely accepted research indicates that these hospitalizations were avoidable.

I’m sorry, but ‘difference of opinion’ doesn’t…

Slimy, greasy strategy by a slimy, greasy politician. But are we really that surprised? From the moment this chump entered the political ring, didn’t we foresee stuff like this?

This guy on the basis of being the ‘anti-Wynne’…and to a large extent…

#onpoli

…it was successful. There was lots of talk about gravy trains and ending the party with tax payer money. But you’d have be pretty naive and / or willfully ignorant to not see the cronyism and the grift.

Hwy 413 is a prime example. Look who stands to benefit.

2/
Ford buddies Ron Taverner and Dean French…more examples of the grift. And the list goes on.
- Katherine Pal
- Taylor Shields
- Tyler Albrecht
- Gavin Tighe
- Cam Montgomery
- Jenni Byrne
- Ian Todd
- Rueben Devlin
- Charles McVety
….to name but a few.
