Queer-femme xennial diabadass (T1D since 1993) I 🩷 Canadian politics, dogs, fundraising (legacy giving), disability justice, anti-racism & decolonizing this funny land called Canada Former Ottawa & Vancouver gal now in Toronto
Upside this will impact the level of foreign investment in the USA - downside no way we will get tariff relief for Canadian steel now 🤦♀️
Fair, but fyi, living in England you also are accountable for the treaties made by your government. But I get that it’s complicated. My grandparents are Catholic & we only sold the family farm in 1997. They would roll over in their grave hearing me say anything except abolish the King.
It’s no tyrants. Also “no kings” is complicated bc actually going to no kings would REALLY jeopardize Indigenous rights. So I’m ok keeping the King until they want to get rid of him
In Canada I feel comfy using “no tyrants” because the context here around Indigenous sovereignty. Often “no kings” is code for “let’s ignore the treaties”. Most of the country is owned by Indig, government by treaties with UK King, Canada is just manager. So “no kings” often is anti-FN
FINALLY SOME NEWS WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
*Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County*

This is coercion and eugenics at its ugliest.
They're intentionally mistreating a disabled man to encourage him to let them end his life.
Please read his story and consider the pleas of other disabled Canadians who've said that MAiD is being abused.
The protests are expanding to Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America. #3E #NoKingsProtest
L.A. law enforcement's treatment of journalists during protests is once again under scrutiny
It’s wild to me that there are still people out there saying “they won’t/can’t do that because it’s against the law.”
Have you been in a coma for the last five months or…
We feed you.
They hunt us.
She was so irritating but also was making me think of the ex-republican gal who mean girl mocks them on social - that make up was ROUGH. I wish he had pushed back on her assertion that they arrested pdf,murderers etc though. Great opportunity to point out that they are arresting anyone & assuming
Rima Hassan, an elected EU politician, was taken in International Waters at gun point by the israeli military and is now being held hostage in the notorious Givon Prison in Ramleh

Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us.
So attack SEIU head & then go after hotel housekeepers? They really don’t know what they are doing, janitors & hotel workers are some of the most militant people in organized labour.
My father, uncle, and father-in-law were US Marines who fought fascist overreach in the South Pacific in World War 2. I know if they were alive today, they would object to sending Marines to enable fascist overreach in Los Angeles by Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Homan today.
Semper Fi.
What is happening in Los Angeles is not a distraction from Trump’s Billionaire Bailout Bill.
The bill explicitly gives ICE and DHS the resources needed to do around the country what they’re doing in LA. We should call that out.
The agenda of mass deportations is deeply anti-worker. One in five workers in America is an immigrant. They’re vital to the fabric of our communities.
The real threat workers face is corporate greed, not immigrants.
chinga la migra
May the spirit of rebellion grow & multiply!!
I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are ever responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist time, they don't need "excuses."
Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity, & keep tactical differences internal
It’s clear: the strategic vote in New Westminster–Burnaby–Maillardville is NDP — to stop Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and defend what matters most to us. 🧡🗳️

Chantal Hebert nails it, True North & Rebel are third party advertisers in this election campaign. They are NOT accredited media. She also points out the time change and dropping the Greens at last minute. #cdnpoli
Here is Ricochet Media's @ethancox.bsky.social dressing down Ezra Levant for disrupting the leaders debate
"What I don't like Ezra is you preventing us from being able to ask questions on behalf of the public -- you created a circus here"

Mothers went to bed with empty fridges worried about how they're going to feed their kids, says Poilievre, Man Whose Party Voted Against the School Lunch Program
Let me know if I have this right, right wing advocates took up much of the time last night and prevented much of the post-debate questioning from mainstream reporters. Tonight they disrupted the post-debate question time, so no mainstream reporters could ask questions.

More importantly. The source of the massive explosion of Opioid addiction in the last decade is an 🇺🇸 company getting away with terribly unethical practices due to poor regulation & corporate culture in their country. So frankly if we are pointing fingers it’s on them
“You’re like our Katniss!” No the fuck I am not, the book is about class struggles and set in Appalachia. I was literally born into the aristocracy😭
See, now we just have to start calling the CTV News advertisers and explain that their most important demographic (women aged 18-64) are angry that another woman got dropped because some Incels and Russian bots wrote emails. #cdnpoli #LisaLaFlamme
