Is arming Israel part of your grand plan for peace? Quietly aiding a genocide while publicly advocating for peace. You're as two-faced as any politician ever was.

The neo-Liberal Party of Canada is Worse than usual. They seem more and more like the Conservatives, maybe even worse. #Carney is using Pierre Poilievre’s playbook.

A lot of us don't even recognize it. I've heard a lot of white people say things like "that's not racist, why would that be racist?" I said it myself before doing some growing and learning. It isn't an excuse of course.

Jesse Watters tried to make a protester he dubbed "Antifa Kermit" look menacing. I added the words of Secretary of Homeland Security describing Antifa along with some footage of Antifa protesters from an ABC affiliate Local 10 News. The music is royalty free.🎶🪩💃🕺

All while undermining their rights to advocate for themselves. Keep throwing out numbers that make you look good and ignoring the truth on the ground. Worst PM ever.

Grocery inflation varied as Canadians face higher costs for some products, but not all: expert

With Canadians celebrating Thanksgiving and the holiday season on the horizon, families are feeling the pressure at the grocery store – though not all items are hitting wallets equally hard.

Remember that Netanyahu is not just an indicted war criminal, but Israeli courts are looking to convict him on corruption.

He'll do anything to stay in power and avoid the trial, including continuing his mass murder spree against Palestine, Iran, Lebanon etc.

@mark-carney.bsky.social New tactic is what? Flattery & 🇨🇦 buying another pipeline while the world burns. Using the fossil fuel industry to transform into a net zero world will do nothing, except continue our dependence on fossil fuels. So committing an environmental genocide is fine with you?
