this wave of canadian nationalism is so nauseating. there's no justification for supporting a settler colonial nation regardless of its relationship with the u.s. empire.

Three men join the first on the side of the road, all in black, each holding a sign that together read βdeport them all.β Theyβre all throwing up Nazi salutes
The three men are now? In the same position on the side of the road, holding three separate items. The first has a sign that reads βdeport them all,β the second has a red ensign flag (which has been adopted in canada by white supremacists as a symbol for a white canada), and the third is holding a glad with a Celtic cross (another adopted hate symbol used by white supremacists)
One man is seen throwing a Nazi salute at the side of the road while holding a sign that reads βimport third world become third worldβ
A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs.
Might be time for the media to stop calling them βhand gesturesβ and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!
The Democratic Party is just the other wing of the facsist party of America. Fascism isn't defeated at the ballot box or by policy wonks.
