On the US invading #Canada:

"Nobody is born an insurgent. Insurgency is what happens when someone kills your mom.” Just one soldier firing on a protester at a rally could be the spark. “All of these cute, latte-drinking TikToker students,” she said. “You look at them and you don’t see insurgents. But if you kill their moms, the Geneva Convention will not save you.”

The U.S. Threat Looming Over Canada / From the US media : The Atlantic

« Donald #Trump’s pointless and malicious trade war has been, by his own account, a prelude to softening up Canada economically so that it can be appropriated as the #51st state.(...) The definitive end of the status quo came with the president’s casual comment that he would sell only deliberately downgraded F-47s to allies who purchased American military hardware » #CdnPoli #Cdn

"In its simplest terms, the shock doctrine is just a strategy to advance deeply unpopular — and profitable — ideas. It’s using a moment of crisis to advance policies that benefit elites, but that tend to be opposed by most voters." Naomi Klein
“Only a crisis, real or perceived, produces real change,” and when that crisis occurs, change “depends on the ideas that are lying around.” Milton Friedman

@Paulatics #elbowsup means sticking together to cut through the verbal manure.

It also needs to mean that our #cdnpoli actors are somehow not be allowed to fall into the same slippery, stinky pitfalls, let alone promote them thru division or #disinformation - #cdnmedia remains an issue, possibly even a serious one at this time. This includes provincial politics, of course.

But yeah - gorgeous day, isn’it?

The rise of end times fascism

"To have a hope of combating the end times fascists, with their ever-constricting and asphyxiating concentric circles of “ordered love”, we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful: faithful to this planet, its people, its creatures and to the possibility of a livable future for us all"

"Canada Picks a Climate Leader to Butt Heads With Trump"
That is a controversial title to voters that saw 3rd & 4th parties (Greens) weakened after the election, thanks to our winner-take-all voting system.
An excellent and insightful audio segment on Mark Carney though by @akshatrathi (a great follow) and Danielle Bochove.

It's interesting that we were all expecting a Liberal majority, given the polls prior to the election.

One thing that was correctly predicted was the collapse of the NDP. I still voted for them, since I feel their policy offerings were the best of the lot, but no denying they collapsed. Bloc & Green votes also shrank, leading to the 2-party result of LPC centre right vs CPC right wing.

Quite a choice: tax cuts & austerity & pipelines vs tax cuts & austerity & pipelines.

The CPC did better than was expected. Ultimately, if we don't adopt a more proportional system, they will win unfettered power with a false majority at some point in the future (likely next election). Basically we're following the same path as the USA.

That said, I saw Fair Vote's call for the NDP MPs to make PR a condition of support. I might have sympathy for Fair Vote's call if they had endorsed the NDP during the election, since the NDP did commit to PR in the last election. But Fair Vote didn't. So to now set the stage for further derision of the NDP by making a hugely impractical demand strikes me as a bit much (and I am a paid supporter of Fair Vote).

Sweet Home Alaberta 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇲🇽

The mayor of the tourism town of Drumheller was banging the Fuck Canada drum of separation on the news last night. This MAGA mayor is already in deep water for announcing the dismantling of the big T-Rex tourism statue without consulting the citizens.

Knock her out of office with a "Tesla Alberta Tourism" campaign. In fact, all real Canucks should boycott travel to AB and SK until the MAGa separatists are defeated like the MAGA USA!

My page is acting up again. I removed 1 follower from my page and when I pressed “remove” it removed over 40+ followers I have, lol.

Apologies to the followers. One never knows what’s next when one accurately posts about a 575-day Western-backed Zionist Israeli genocide of Palestinians
