🇨🇦 1/
Canada—the Sleeping Military Giant Thread

For too long, we've been seen as a peacekeeping nation. But what if we woke up and no one challenged our sovereignty?

Canada has the wealth, tech, and allies to do it. Here’s how 🧵⬇️ 2/
Canada’s GDP: $2.3T
Russia’s GDP: $1.7T (aaaand shrinking - They're using donkeys on the front lines)

Russia spends 4-5% of GDP on military. If Canada did the same, we’d have enough to build a world-class military superior to Russia’s outdated arsenal.

So LFG...

🧵THREAD: Canada must act NOW to protect itself from the Trump/Putin axis and the collapse of US democracy. Here’s what we CAN do immediately: ⬇️ 1/ Invoke Article 4 of the NATO Treaty 📜
Canada should formally request consultations with allies on the grave threats posed by Trump’s potential NATO exit & his alignment with Russia. We need a collective defense strategy for a world where the US is no longer reliable.

🧵 1/ It's time for Canada to invoke Article 4 of the NATO treaty in response to mounting threats to our sovereignty and economic security. Here's why we need to take action now against the destabilizing rhetoric coming from a NATO member working with adversaries like Russia & China. 2/ For context, Article 4 of NATO allows any member country to consult with allies if they feel threatened. It's not just a provision—it's the first step in addressing urgent situations that could impact peace and stability. We need this tool today more than ever. #cdnpoli

🚨 1/ Is Pierre Poilievre a fascist like Donald Trump? Let’s break it down using the 6 components of fascism or “F scale” as a checklist. 🧵👇 2/ 1. Ultranationalism
Poilievre emphasizes Canadian “Christian” Conservative sovereignty (e.g., “Canada First”) with dislike for immigration, DEI, multiculturalism, ✅

1/ 🚨 THREAD: Danielle Smith and Scott Moe are amplifying Trump-style MAGA rhetoric, claiming a crisis of illegal migrants and fentanyl smuggling at the Canada-U.S. border. Let’s break down the facts and their dangerous alignment with Trump’s Bullshit. 🧵 2/ Fentanyl Smuggling Reality
•Most fentanyl entering the U.S. comes via Mexico and legal ports of entry, not Canada.
•Trump’s claim that Canada is a major source of U.S. fentanyl is baseless (less than 1% of Fentanyl enters the US through Canada)

1/ Ever wondered why there’s a link between religious people with lower IQs, who love authoritarian rulers like Trump/Putin/Poilievre? Let’s dig in! 2/ Cognitive factors: Higher IQ often means more analytical thinking, leading to questioning beliefs. Lower IQ? More intuitive thinking that vibes with religious and authoritarian views.

🧵 Does Alberta have the authority to export oil to the US if Canada freezes exports in the Trump Tariff War?

Nope…

(1/8) Alberta owns its oil resources, but the federal government has jurisdiction over international trade and energy regulation. Danielle Smith is flat out lying here. If Canada freezes oil exports, they’re frozen. #CDNpoli #ABpoli 2/8

1/10 Despite rhetoric about protecting Canadian sovereignty, Stephen Harper’s actions as PM were anything hint but “Pro Canadian Sovereignty.” Let’s examine the evidence of Harper’s hypocrisy in this pandering bullshit tweet: 2/10 Harper completed privatization of Petro-Canada and Canadian National Railway, selling off major Crown corporations that were once symbols of Canadian economic sovereignty.

🚨Just a personal note/thread:

Over the past two weeks I took time away from media, content, Ontario for a variety of reasons.

Truth is I didn’t like what I had become. Creating political/social content in algorithmic vacuum damages your soul.

Especially in 2024 /1 I’ve spent the last month getting counsel and feedback from people I trust from all walks of life to get outside my perception. I needed to. I think we all need to step outside/audit ourselves from time to time.

Let’s break it down. 🧵 2/12 The MAGA movement, with its populist rhetoric and alleged ties to foreign interests, has reshaped US politics.

🚨My first tweet about Pierre Poilievre avoiding NatSec clearance was two years ago - because I love my country.

I was sued, threatened, and mass-reported on every platform.

I'm happy the Treason Cat is finally out of the bag.

I am in no way tired of being right. 🤟🇨🇦 I was contacted by a friend who told me several high-ranking Conservatives didn't have NatSec clearance and were actively refusing it.
Our lawyers vetted the information, and we posted a tweet. That tweet was swarmed by bots, trolls, Conservative MPs, NatPo employees, and a PILE of Russian/Indian accounts. /2

1/12 🚨 BREAKING: The world’s richest man and a key player in U.S. space efforts, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022, according to multiple sources. #Putin #Geopolitics Image 2/12 These discussions cover personal topics, business interests, and geopolitical tensions. At one point, Putin reportedly asked Musk to avoid activating Starlink over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. #Starlink #Taiwan #China Image

Let’s break down this piss poor tweet:
-Releasing names related to a criminal NatSec investigation is…criminal.
-Pierre Poilievre refuses to submit to a NatSec background check and is being investigated for colluding with India along with his party
/1 Image -Pierre, Mr Cheong (who was a victim of “naming names” last year) know this and are pushing for a snap election to help Pierre elude a NatSec background check
-Simultaneously they are lying about Pierre being gagged by getting his NatSec background check. He’s just not allowed to reveal top secret intelligence /2

🚨After being named by the DOJ as a paid Russian Propagandist, a VERY nervous Tim Pool announced his show was over because he's rich, can't find enough people to operate a camera, and wants to spend more time with his family, blah blah blah. /1 As a podcaster and podcast network owner, he's full of Russian-made shit.

🚨 🧵1/7 Are there laws preventing a Canadian politician who refuses NSICOP background clearance from becoming PM? Short answer: No specific laws, but there are important considerations. 2/7 NSICOP members need Top Secret clearance issued by the Clerk of the Privy Council. This involves background checks, fingerprinting, credit checks, and possible out-of-country verifications.

🚨🧵 CANADA PROUD LAWSUIT (FRIDAY) UPDATE:
When Canadians from every walk of life start to recognize they've been rage-baited/radicalized and misinformed by the agent of a political party, it's a good day 1/12 When Canada Proud sued us for "embarrassing" them (their words) and their boy Pierre Poilievre, it presented an opportunity. We had two choices: 1/ apologize, pay them 200k, and never talk about them again 2/12

🚨🧵Thread: Last week, we watched a 24-year-old young man shoot up city hall in Edmonton. He cited the "Wokeism Disease" as the reason for his "Mission," and his messaging sounded familiar... 1/9
crier.co/edmonton-city-… Woke or "Wokeism Disease" has been used as a pejorative almost exclusively in Canada by Conservative leader @PierrePoilievre whose digital team controls the ongoing "Fuck Wokeism" radical propaganda 2/9

For the first time in a long time Thanks to Canada Proud, I have some purpose. I am responsible for doing the right thing, and standing up for others who can't. My purpose was to get as much as I could for myself. I don't feel that way anymore. 1/10 Over the last 3 years (7 since I quit drinking), I've been on this wild journey. What was important (external motivation and gratitude) isn't. What matters to me most is entertaining you while being accountable to the marginalized. 2/10

🚨The Doug Ford/Nurse beating story is going to explode. His security detail had permission to hurt those nurses. More to come... Ahead of debate, Doug’s OPP security asked building reps for permission to remove anyone from protest for anything. Protest, standing in his way, etc. That's why they hurt nurses. They cleared it first. Nice, huh. It came from somewhere...
