F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism.

“What did the NDP ever do for Alberta?”

In the middle of an oil crash, they raised wages, improved worker protections, capped emissions, expanded parks, banned corporate donations & built the Calgary Cancer Centre.

Competence over ideology.

so the thing about who framed roger rabbit (1988) is that it's about how corporations conspired to eradicate L.A. streetcars, buy up marginalized neighbourhoods and obliterate it all for freeways and suburbs

Hey, remember when car and oil companies successfully lobbied governments to create car dependent cities and suburbs, and once we became almost completely car dependent, WE became the loudest, angriest champions of unhindered road space for cars, unnaturally cheap gas, and subsidized free parking?

Pierre Poilievre’s modus operandi is to deny future generations of Canadians the same advantages that he had access to growing up. That also seems to be conservatism in a nutshell.

Every year, millions of low-income Canadians miss out on benefits they’re entitled to.

We’re stepping in — with new Automatic Federal Benefits. Canada’s new government will pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million Canadians, getting them back money that would otherwise go unclaimed.

"What I've seen is the abuse of law enforcement by rasical leftist activists. The Most threatening thing I've seen yet was the naked bicyclists in Portland who were protesting ice."........Johnson is so desperate to paint peaceful protestors as "abusive & violent".

PLEASE consider displaying an American flag 🇺🇸 along with whatever awesome protest signs you plan to bring to No Kings! marches. We shouldn't let MAGA co-opt our nation's flag the way they have. IT'S OUR FLAG! We can easily SHOW that Saturday's demonstrations are NOT "hate America" protests AT ALL.

We have decades worth of experience, endless supply of resources, cheap energy, why not invest in ourselves. Instead of sinking BILLIONS of subsidies from govt into fickle foreign companies, let’s invest in ourselves. And raise the price of exported electricity. I’d buy that:
