Thanks for reposting your great 🧵 - remember reading it on Xitter back in 2022! Of course at that point, it seemed completely unimaginable that we too here in 🇨🇦 would be worried about an aggressive authoritarian regime on our doorstep… So 🇫🇮’s approach is VERY much of interest now! Hence thread👇
Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going.
Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

I wish the different levels of Government would stay in their lane.
Don't get me wrong, I totally appreciate the PM trying to protect us. That said, if Canadians would actually learn our Civics maybe they wouldn't blame the Federal Gov. for their Provincial Gov. not doing their F🇨🇦cking Job.

Harper and Co are heavily involved with the International Democratic Union which is certainly international and united if not democratic. To understand better the policies they support, study their world map of members in power. A picture paints a thousand words.

I don't consider the Conservative Party of Canada to be true Conservatives. The CPC is basically the Reform Party reconstituted. There must be true Conservatives orphaned by right wing elements who could provide adults and legitimate honest dialogue in Parliament. Who represents them, I wonder?
