This is my 4th of July message to American resisters.
We are in very dark times and it is going to get darker. But we must take back democracy and the rule of law at the grassroots and in the streets.
We need to support each other across the border.

The kindness of a stranger. Since moving to #NovaScotia I have truly felt something very unique. And today I experienced firsthand what makes this place so rare. When my rear tire blew on the Highway I was going 100km per hour and I was terrified.

For those saying the federal NDP are done - they’ve been here before. Many NDP voters voted liberal this time around to ensure the Cons lost. NDP will rise w/ new leadership. With decades of experience, a solid inner structure, they’ll fight their way back to relevance. #believeNDP #CndElection 🇨🇦

Agree with these sentiments. As a former news reporter fairness and unbiased reporting is the line. Rebel is not news, it’s misinformation and it needs to be called out. They threaten lawsuits, that’s their tactic not honest coverage or reporting.
That's nonsense, though?
Rebel isn't news. They are fascists with a microphone.
The Debates Commission are cowards.
The Canadian Association of Journalists needs to have an accreditation process like lawyers or engineers. If you're not accredited, you're not a journalist. Period.

I went all the way to the Alberta legislature to give a gift to Premier Danielle Smith.
But she wasn't there.
She was hanging out at a closed door Conservative MAGA meeting with the Trump crew that have targeted our nation's economy.
A quisling is going to quisling.
I'll see you next time Danielle.
