Wow, mayoral candidate Ryan Mennie is mad at me. He didn‘t like my analysis I posted on social media (?!) & let me know at the Uleth SU candidate forum. Struck a nerve I guess. Here’s what I wrote.

The term "antifa" is short for anti-fascist; In general, people who identify as antifa are known not for what they support, but what they oppose: Fascism, nationalism, far-right ideologies, white supremacy, authoritarianism, racism, homophobia and xenophobia.
