The public needs to read this statement. It’s words are parsed carefully to convey a clear message.

Note that 2 corporations locked out workers, but only one corporation’s workers were officially on strike.

CPKC union had given strike notice.

CN had not given strike notice. The minister assessed the situation and called it a fundamental impasse.

There is no middle ground. The demands by both parties are so disparate, a stalemate was declared by the minister since the impact of the inability to move forward in negotiations impacts all Canadians.

If you thought I was a bit hyperbolic…

Guess who is a major sponsor of Canada Strong & Free’s September 2024 “how to destroy Canadian liberal democracy” conference?

That would be Calgary business community darling CPKC. Koch industries & Canadian Bankers Association as well.

Please read this thread. There is every reason to believe Canada would be at the top of the list for Trump.

Canada is one of the strongest global democracies.

Multiple foreign adversaries have been trying to topple the Canadian Liberal Government since LPC was elected. Four conservative leaders have come up short against PMJT. Which other global leader has managed to keep conservatives at bay?

France and Macron.

That’s it. Every other global leader has been replaced by a more conservative leader who has permitted democratic backsliding.

What part of YOU ARE NOT THE GOVERNING PARTY does MP Chong not understand?

Why is this a problem?

Because MP Chong is advocating for foreign govts to decide controversial federal elections.

Anyone aware of any elections in the next few months that may be contested? Image Chong is trying to set the precedent that recognition by foreign govts can decide disputed elections for control of the nation.

That’s not democracy.

Democracy is when Venezuelans choose their leader and pick democracy themselves.

This is a MUST READ!

These type of events are going to become more common across western civilization. You need to prepare yourself & your network. The far right is baiting it’s own supporters to create angry mobs & riots using disinformation on X/Twitter. This is how powerful social media has become. It’s been developed by Elmo into a weapon of war. Hybrid warfare creating local violent mobs.

Governments and police should be warning people right now.

Please read the embedded articles.

As Jasper burns, Danielle Smith and her putrid UCP cronies have launched the bots and trolls to assign blame on federal govt.

Canada doesn’t have a federal firefighting force except for the armed forces. Smith cut the budget and is now forcing the rest of Canada to support firefighting in Alberta.

That’s right Canada. (See you auntie) DS has saved Albertans from paying taxes to fight fires. Revenues from O&G royalties are sent to The Alberta Heritage Fund to invest in more O&G.

Get it through your head white people, this is identity warfare.

What you consider black identity is not necessarily what black community thinks of as black identity.

You’re going to see a lot of people distance themselves from Harris’ black and Indian identity. This woman is correct. Black is not a nationality. It’s a community of people who identify as African American in origin. Jamaican does not denote skin colour, but the vast majority of Jamaicans are black. And so was Harris’ father. But he also had a white parent: he’s 1/2 black.

This is an international KA-BOOM!

Canada has also been impacted by Miles Guo shenanigans. The Guo claims to be pro democracy, but the Canadian residents his New Federal State of China targeted in violent demonstrations were critical of Beijing and CCP.

This screenshot is a far right troll.

The account is attempting to use a famous PET quote that all Canadians, regardless of their beliefs, faith or ethnicity, are Canadian.

The account is bastardizing the concept of multiculturalism and the Canadian mosaic.
Image In Canada, while assimilation was the policy for indigenous peoples, immigrants have not been expected to entirely abandon their beliefs and values.

The US has a melting pot.

Canada opted for a cultural mosaic.

This is dangerous & seriously insensitive minimization.

Oh PP is not going to hurt anyone, he just won’t help them. He’s not on the same level as Marine Le Pen.

How many people need to die before he is on the same level for you Max? I mean it’s bad enough that you say this, but you are normalizing an extremist and minimizing the threat for all other men in your peer group.

You aren’t experiencing any threat to your well-being, so whomever is can shut up and quit complaining.

It’s men like you I fear most!

It amazes me that legal experts can be so obtuse sometimes.

This is not normal politics. Trump has created a cult following that provides him the ability to ‘do no wrong’ in the eyes of his devoted followers.

Therefore normal rules of politics do not apply. So throw them out. Trump has effectively been deified by his cult followers. Any attack on Trump is viewed as an attempt to discredit their god.

The equivalent in real life is the reverence many Catholics hold for the Pope.

This problem requires an alternate attack strategy.

Extremely relevant question.

Wouldn’t it be better if PMJT stayed as party leader so PP could continue to contrast himself with a global leader that brought Canada through Trump years, climate changes, climate policy, a pandemic and a recession with a soft landing? All while being smeared with slanderous fake scandals amplified by people who would do just about anything to remove PMJT from office.

Wouldn’t it be silly to replace him if he’s as unpopular as pundits say?

It’s not LPC asking for PMJT to be removed. It’s CPC trolls.

I just watched CBCNN intentionally misinform Canadians about Parliamentary privilege.

This is absolutely not a mistake!

CBC has access to highly paid lawyers to parse legal documents and advise opinions.

I’m so fricking angry that CBC is a source of disinformation! The National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians Act (NSICOP Act) is available on line.

If you can’t see the overlap in Trump’s and Poilievre’s denigration of their respective countries and the democratic principles and institutions that make the US and Canada strong democracies, you’re willfully and wittingly ignoring a coordinated strategy. What many may not realize is these two politicians’ approach mirrors another’s strategy.

Circumstances are similar.

Considered strong democracies a decade ago, both US & Canada have suffered significant democratic decline.

Polarization, tribalism, dehumanization are common. Image

I find it amusing that MSM and cons are saying that PMJT hasn’t done anything.

We don’t live in a police state. We live in a democracy.

The PM is not the CEO. He’s the Prime Minister responsible for policy and legislation. CSIS activities are not directed by the executive branch.

The Executive Branch is informed by CSIS. And it has been many times.

Must read! Including (especially) the screen shots.

This is fascism.

It is not to be mocked. These people are not stupid, they’re caught in a fascist movement.

Canada must stop minimizing the threat.

How many of PP’s rallies are the same?

I bet every last one of them. By minimizing and laughing at the stupidity of this movement, pundit and academic sceptics have permitted it to flourish out of the spotlight.

Stop calling these people stupid & laughing at their absurdity and recognize the size of the threat.

Look here. 👀 ⬇️🔽⤵️

CPC is creating a narrative that LPC is corrupt.

This is the same tactic used by Freedom GOP to investigate Biden & call for impeachment. It went nowhere because Biden is not corrupt.

MTG did this in retaliation for 2 impeachments for Trump in congress.

Image Is this the preemptive attack to create the perception that RCMP are part of the “swamp”.

Is this the beginning of the onslaught of the “big lie” that everything is broken and the “swamp” is protecting PMJT and liberalism? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just watched Jagmeet Singh light Poilievre on fire. 🔥

No not literally, but that was a wicked burn. Seriously needs some medication to treat that burn.

What happened?

Singh called for the foreign interference inquiry to include Poilievre’s leadership election! Singh said the serious question out loud and demanded it be added to the inquiry’s agenda and report.

This is dangerously close to calling PP a foreign asset. But Singh has not yet been briefed.

This is the ability PP wants to retain by refusing to get his clearance.

I get tired of people who speak out of the side of their mouth.

If you’re going to call me a crack pot, please actually make the accusation. Don’t just imply it nonchalantly. But what I’m really tired of is white guys who have no skin in the game trying to convince those of us who do have to manage threat through voting that PP should be taken at face value.

Piss off!

Its not your uterus, freedom to choose, citizenship or voting rights at risk.

Must watch.

This is the gilded age 2.0 on steroids.

You know all those homeless people in encampments? They don’t even register on this chart.

Wealth distribution really needs reconsideration.

I’m not convinced capitalism is on its last legs. But inequality this stark is. I’m certain that’s why the 1% are hoarding wealth.

Think back to medieval Europe. The nobles and monarchs made up the top 10%.

This is neo-feudalism.
