VOTE PALESTINE
LET'S MAKE PALESTINIAN HUMAN RIGHTS AN ELECTION ISSUE A non-partisan campaign galvanizing Canadian voters to raise Palestinian human rights in the federal election.
Canada, don't harden your heart. Israel's genocide in Gaza never stopped.
Last night's attacks were hideously cruel.
Neighbours listened to the screams of children under the rubble until those little voices went silent forever.
Our government's complicity must be on the ballot.

Trump is bragging that Canadians think so little of their own birth right that they are begging to join his gangster crew.
Looks like people in Canada aren't buying his bullshit.
The boycott is strong.
Do not spend one cent in America until the tyranny is gone.
Keep it up.

Charlie Angus Calls Out Poilievre for Letting the Planet Burn
The planet is on fire. Trump and Pierre Poilievre will burn the planet so that corporations can make even more profits.
We are witnessing a dismal example of bumper sticker slogans when young people are looking to their leaders to step up.
Please watch this.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus Condemns Trump’s Tariffs, Accuses Him of Trying to ‘Break’ Canada [Video]
Canadian MP Charlie Angus is not holding back when it comes to Trump’s latest round of tariffs on Canada.
Donald Trump is threatening Canada with 25% tariffs but only 10% for China.
This isn't about trade. This is a thug trying to shake our nation down.
Canadians will not kiss the ring of the gangster from Mar-a-Lago.

If Canadians are forced to go over the boards defend our sovereignty from grifters and Nazi lovers, then I'm going over in the spirit of Bobby Clarke.

I never thought in 2025 we would be dealing with fascists who have the ear of the president. Elon Musk is wrong. There is no such thing as "getting over" the guilt of mass murder.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day we say Never Again. And we commit to never forgot.

If MAGA was a clown show Trump's idiotic ramblings might be a lot of fun but it's not funny.
This is deadly serious.
Canadians need to work across all sectors to form the resistance to the hate and political intimidation coming from Washington.

I'd still rather stand outside in our frigid Canadian winter and take the risk of getting hypothermia in the dead of night in a forest full of coyotes without a phone to call for help than have to watch even one second of that POS become POTUS again.

I saw this post online.
Just be a decent and straightforward Canadian who understands the need to protect our beautiful and fair land.
Don't be a weasel or spread the rage bullshit of Danielle Smith and gang.
Nobody from outside can beat us.
Stand up to the quislings.
