If we needed more evidence that Projet Montréal isn't a left-wing party, this tweet captures it. Mamdani has never emphasized equity or inclusion (liberal concepts), but the redistribution of wealth and power from the wealthy to the working class (in all its diversity).

In Canada, this has changed significantly -- the rich have never been richer and a majority of low income renters live in property that solely exists to funnel profits to shareholders via rents and disrepair.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵
