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 worldβs leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism. βIn the end, faster than I imagined possible, it did happen here.β - 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.

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% π€·

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

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.

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.
Heβll cut health care and housing.
Heβll 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.
Weβre forcing a vote on it tomorrow β in Parliament.

Image showing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievres vote against a GST Tax Break. With a heading that says MAX THE TAX.
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 (itβs 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.
