On Monday, Pierre Poilievre shared his party’s petition to “end DEI” and “restore the merit principle.”

Just before that, another Conservative MP posted that “Canada must now place restrictions on birthright citizenship”

If it all sounds a bit Trump-y, that’s probably because…it is:

Allowing tRUMP's ICE goons to be masked, not to need warrants and to arrest by colour and race is sickening!!

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

The Pentagon has a budget of almost $1 Trillion per year- all paid for by US taxpayers. We own it and deserve to have a free press covering it.

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

This is a rad song called “LET’S STEAL THE (EPSTEIN) FILES.” I’m pretty sure it’s meant for the ears of FBI agents, in search of one that might want to be a superhero.🦸

Epstein Files🧵 thread 4(104)🧵

Besides Bannon, Thiel & Musk being on the Epstein list... there are so many Pedo Pals who aided and abetted his crimes & many more remained his pal even after his first AND second set of charges were brought.

Those ELITE, once a problem to MAGA, now encircle tRUMP!

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie says tRUMP’s Justice Department is shielding allies from exposure in the Epstein files. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-gop-nemesis-says-cover-up-helps-party-donors-in-epsteins-little-black-book/

John Paulson has been revealed as one of the billionaires on the Epstein List.

He's not just some rich guy.

He is a major donor to the GOP.

He bankrolled the campaigns of the Felon and of Speaker Moses Johnson.

A billionaire who funds the Republican Party is on the Epstein List

I feel a deja vu. A great coping method is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

EG: Remember tRUMP's reason for Charlottesville...and read the alt texts (It's a thread with other threads attached)

Canada ROCKS @mapleleafrocks.bsky.social · Sep 11

That "owie" on the ear and what followed was a farce. The Charlottesville fiasco was also planned but tRUMP had no idea that so many Nazis would be there.

It was Bannon's idea... to take heat off MAGA/militias as the FBI and GAO declared far-right extremism rampant in reports.

@Dinesh DSouza deleted tweets from the oval office...

"I stopped by the White House to brief Steve Bannon and @SebGorka on how Trump can flip the accusation of fascism on the Democratic left" In another post he bragged about giving copies to tRUMP, Bannon and Seb Gorka.

Dinesh stands left of Bannon holding his most recent lying book... DINESH DISOUZA "Big Lie"... which tries to turn the table on the right's facism/Nazism

At the same time, the right wing talking points agenda was to rewrite history and say that the Dems were the racists and KKK, disregarding the switch of parties leading to Civil Rights where Racists became Republicans. MAGA ate it up and use the lie still. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/30/fact-check-democratic-party-did-not-found-kkk-start-civil-war/3253803001/

A 2017 GAO report said that "A 2017 Government Accountability Office report said that "far-right extremism" was responsible for 62 of the 85 lethal extremist incidents in the U.S. from the day after 9/11 through 2016. The FBI reports agreed, but that did not meet tRUMP's need as he wanted Antifa/BLM to be the thugs

Nazis and racists showed up Aug 11, 2017... The “very fine people” on “Both sides” turned to murder. tRUMP was unable to use his excuse. Listen to ALL his 3 speeches after... he flipflops constantly; they only show the last one, where he was coached.

Trump says that sending federal agents and troops to terrorize US cities is "a passion for the people behind me." Not just for Stephen Miller. For "people" in his administration. Reporters should have asked who those people were.

Trump: I never thought we'd go into every city and make them safe. Now it's like a passion for me and it's a passion for the people behind me.
