The tragic change a single year has made in America | Margaret Sullivan As we approach the anniversary of the 2024 election, we awake to new horrors each day. But we must not give up hope

"The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism. β€œIn the end, faster than I imagined possible, it did happen here.” - Garrett Graff

There is no pretending that it's "just a game" when there are indictments at the criminal court for war crimes and investigations into genocide and crimes against humanity.
We wouldn't let Putin's Russia take the field. There can be no double standard for Israel.

Debates (Hansard) No. 376 - November 26, 2024 (44-1) - House of Commons of Canada Debates (Hansard) No. 376 - November 26, 2024 (44-1) - House of Commons of Canada

It's amazing how our Con. MP Mark Strahl says he's for tax relief for Canadians but then votes no on "Opposition Motion (Cost of living relief for Canadians)". I guess it's only worth doing if it benefits the top 1% 🀷

Cannot believe how much the NDP's dental care plan has helped a friend of mine! .. Total cost for recent visit to the dentist for much-needed dental work: $580.00 .. Amount paid by my friend: $82.60! .. Thank you, @jagmeetsingh.ca, @mpjulian.bsky.social! .. #Canada #NDP #cdnpoli #cdnhealth

From Carbon Sink to Source: The Stark Changes in Arctic Lakes For millennia, lakes in Greenland’s tundra have locked up huge loads of carbon in their sediment. But as the Arctic becomes warmer and wetter, scientists believe these lakes could be turning into sour...

Warmer, wetter Arctic conditions are turning the tundra from a carbon sink to source, NOAA’s 2024 #ArcticReportCard reports today. Here’s a ground-level view in my story from Greenland: thttps://e360.yale.edu/features/greenland-lakes-climate-change πŸ§ͺ

And if he's thinking it, he'll forget about it in 5 minutes when he switches the channel. He loves people getting outraged by what he says but there's no grand plan to any of it. This is the first time he thought about this and he'll probably forget about it tonight.

With more context it's clear that It was not serious but it's hard to not get dragged in by rage posts like the one you responded to.

They are products of their upbringing just like kids today. No point in blaming them for what their parents did to them. Kids that age aren't racists yet.

Mark my words.

Pierre Poilievre will pour fuel on the fire of corporate greed.

He’ll cut health care and housing.

He’ll take from working people to give more to CEOs.

The millionaires will hate it because it's a regressive tax that's cut so that's not much good to them.

A Permanent GST Tax cut on Essentials means:

- NO GST on Home Heating
- NO GST on Internet Bills
- NO GST on Cellphone Bills
- NO GST on Diapers

And, a lot more money in your pocket.

We’re forcing a vote on it tomorrow β€” in Parliament.

He'll weasel himself out of that contradiction as well, I'm sure.

Conservatives cut corporate taxes by 7% but voted against a tax break on diapers.

Pierre Poilievre: Axe the tax for corporations. Max the tax for Canadians.

Solar is a technology, not a resource. It is winning on price pretty much everywhere. Fossil energy interests will fight this trend everywhere they can, but eventually they will lose. #EnergyTransition

Look at that!

Page 51 of the 2021 Conservative Platform (it’s still on their website).

Pierre Poilievre voted against the GST tax holiday for you. But he campaigned on it.

Was he dishonest then or now? I'd say both.

Source? The part at the bottom looks different than the rest, looks like someone tampered with the screenshot.
