What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

I contacted #Halifax communications and the city WILL NOT be giving the $50,000 to the Davis Cup.

“the event no longer delivers the tourism, economic and other benefits that would have been expected had it proceeded as originally planned.”

I do understand the instinct to not criticize Carney for fear of indirectly promoting Poilievre, but that doesn’t make that instinct right. Critical discourse is the foundation of democracy, and we need to allow ourselves to go back there.

Julie S. Lalonde @julieslalonde.bsky.social · Sep 5

Carney WON the election. There is no election on the horizon.

The "If you criticize Carney, we get Poilievre" fearmongering makes literally no sense.

Carney has passed his first 100 days. The "Wait and See" crowd also look like goofs.

We can, and should, criticize what is happening NOW.

Clare Blackwood @clareblackwood.bsky.social · Sep 5

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

If a group of birds chatters on its branches—whether they are singing or gossiping—the tree never participates. The soul of the tree does not jump into the birds’ stories to gossip or stir things up; it merely appreciates and enjoys.

One of the greatest Canadians ever. The man who started the ball rolling to give us our universal healthcare, although we just call it free healthcare whenever the fuck we need it.

He had a thing or two to say on other subjects as well.

Thank you to President Trump for inviting me to the White House.

Our meeting today marks the beginning of a new relationship between Canada and the United States — based on respect, built on common interests, and to the transformational benefit of both our nations.
