It's official: Canadians who support increasing immigration levels are in the *extreme* minority.

New polling from @leger360 reveals 65% of Canadians believe there are "too many" immigrants.

Only 3% say "not enough."

THREAD 🧵: Image
Breaking this down by region, age, and gender.... the consensus is strong across the board.

Men and women largely agree, as does every province. Seniors are just slightly more inclined to agree than younger generations. Image
Rural voters are more likely to oppose immigration than urban or suburban voters. Image
.@theJagmeetSingh's @NDP is the only party whose voters don't overwhelmingly think immigration levels are too high.

In contrast, @PierrePoilievre's @CPC_HQ voters are most likely to believe immigration is too high, followed closely by @MaximeBernier's @peoplespca.

It's important to note that the small sample size for PPC voters (just 38) in this poll is almost certainly skewing the results—in reality, the PPC is solidly to the right of the CPC.Image
78% of Canadians agree that ''Current immigration rates are contributing to the housing availability and affordability crisis''

76% agree that ''Current immigration rates are contributing to stresses on health care services''

72% agree that ''Canada's immigration policy is too generous''

a mere 26% agree that ''The Canadian government does a good and thorough job checking the background of immigrants coming to Canada''Image
41% of Canadians support taking in more Gazan refugees.

43% of Canadians oppose taking in more Gazan refugeesImage
30% of Canadians agree that ''Canadian companies should continue to be allowed to use the TFW program to bring in low wage/low-skill employees''

53% disagree Image

Ali Alexander (born Ali Abdul-Razaq Akbar) is a serial predator sex pest who, for the past ~8 years, has been Nick Fuentes’ closest friend, colleague, and confidant.

thread 🧵 Image
Every villain has an origin story; in 2006, Ali was arrested for ‘‘stealing Five MP3 Players, Twenty CDs, Three Camcorders, Two DVD Players, One Back Massager, One Clock, Four Shirts, Two Belts, and a Piece of Luggage from a woman's home.’’ He was then arrested again for ‘‘breaking into someone's car, stealing his debit cards and property.’’Image
@Milo: ‘‘Nothing has hurt Nick like his defiant refusal to excommunicate Ali Alexander, whose youngest victim was 9 when Ali began to groom him, and 12 when Ali first forcibly sodomized him. Nick has known about Ali’s crimes for years. They still talk every day … of course, the truth is Nick doesn’t just look the other way for years. He actively aided and abetted Ali’s sex crimes … When Ali does get in a hotel room with one of them (say, after a protest, or maybe at AFPAC), all he wants to do is suck them off… whether they want it or not.’’

🚨Fed Governor Lisa Cook Lisa Cook relied on the work of @RyanDEnos in her article Racial Segregation and Southern Lynching to push critical race theory and to quantify ''white fear''

This new leaked report proves that data was falsified.

🧵Image
Here are Cook’s own words:

“Recent research also shows that proximity to racial minorities caused higher voter turnout and more conservative voting by whites in US cities (Enos 2016).”

“Sustained interracial interaction could ‘breed fear’ of black political gains if such interactions revealed that African American political power would come at the expense of white political power. (Enos 2016)”

cambridge.org/core/journals/…Image
This leaked 133-page interim report finds Enos’s “affirmative defenses” failed on all counts.

👉 Phantom voters
👉 Misrepresented datasets
👉 Inflated effect sizes
👉 SQL tampering
👉 Manual cut-and-paste falsifications

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: I obtained Lisa Cook’s 85-page Tenure Packet via FOIA. Download link below.

It’s heavily redacted, but here are the big takeaways:

1) Michigan State’s econ dept likely voted against tenure — but were overruled by the Dean. This means she was not even good enough for tenure at MSU based on merit, yet somehow Fed Board material?

2) She got tenure despite her research record, not because of it. The tenure packet emphasizes her teaching ability and downplays her research.

3) She would not have gotten tenure without her now-debunked paper.

4) Her tenure packet lists her AER P&P as an AER, with an asterisk indicating it is peer-reviewed. She is lying about this paper being peer reviewed.

5) Every letter writer recognized her as an econ historian, not a macroeconomist or an international economist, which she self-proclaimed to be in Senate testimony.Image

Bill Ackman is trying to drag America into war.

Here's how.

Thread 🧵
Ackman won’t be fighting this war. Your sons will.

He cloaks his warmongering in faux humanitarianism, pretending to back the Iranian people’s fight to “take their country back.” But we’ve seen this script before—almost word for word. George W. Bush said the same about Afghanistan: “We are helping the Afghan people take back their country.” In 2003, it was Iraq. That war killed 200,000 civilians. Days before the invasion, Dick Cheney assured Americans, “We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.”Image
Cheney's press secretary, Ari Fleischer, parroted the same line: “The [Iraqi] people want to be free… people will rejoice.”

During Covid, I wrote about what I saw as the greatest threat to freedom: authoritarian laws disguised as public safety.

Today, a far more coordinated and dangerous threat has emerged: Zionism.

The Israel Lobby has launched an assault against the First Amendment.

Thread🧵👇
America was born from a boycott.

When the Sons of Liberty dumped British tea into Boston Harbor, they weren’t just protesting a tax — they were asserting the freedom to dissent. That’s your birthright as an American citizen: the freedom to speak, to believe, to dissent, and to decide for yourself what you will and won’t support with your own money.Image
Texas — which I always imagined was the freest state — is one of the most egregious examples. In May 2017, Governor Greg Abbott signed a law prohibiting state agencies from contracting with, or investing in, companies that boycott Israel.

In Texas you can boycott California, Canada, Cambodia or Palestine; but if you boycott Israel for any reason whatsoever, or no reason at all, it’s a hate crime.Image
