“Whilst you [Gasparro, Toronto MP] outrageously try to claim we are antisemetic ‘the Times’ ... wrote of our headline show in London... as ‘emphatically anti-sectarian... We’re sorry we can’t be with you [fans] ... but we will not be silenced and will always oppose genocide.” - Kneecap

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

I'm glad that Charlie Angus is reaching a larger audience, he's doing far more to unite Canadians against fascism than Carney, who keeps making moves like this that are frankly terrifying. #cdnpoli

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
This is a speech I gave to autoworkers in Oshawa.

The issue is that the decision by @vgasparro.bsky.social to ban @kneecapceol.bsky.social pushed PM @mark-carney.bsky.social into a tiny group along with Victor Orban's Hungary and Trump.
So did Vince do this on his own or did PM Carney target these Irish artists?
We need answers.

Personally, I would think that calling out those who would burn the planet to make profits for the super rich and rob of our children of a future should be top of the list of obligations.
Wouldn't you?

Harper made Canada the worst climate performer among industrial nations, ranked 58th best by the international Climate Change Performance Index.

Trudeau made Canada an even worse climate arsonist than under Harper, dropping us to an even more dismal 62nd place.

Maybe you should contact the PM and ask him why he is floating these trial balloons.
My experience in two decades of politics is that when a political leader makes a public statement about a very controversial issue it's because they are looking to see if people are going to respond.

Hmm... and then he announced he would be willing to reconsider the tanker ban and get rid of the emissions cap. On top of cutting our EV standards.
Burning the planet is always a convenient option for bankers.
Not so good for the rest of us.

The great derangement syndrome. As the world blows past the 1.5 degree red line Trump and Carney talk about reviving Keystone XL.
It won't lower tariffs on wood, furniture, steel, auto.
But it will be a massive carbon bomb to a struggling planet.

The Great derangement syndrome:
People telling me to stop talking about a burning planet when our Prime Minister has a "nation-building" plan to build oil pipelines, repeal the tanker ban, kill the emissions cap.
Trump is a convenient excuse for the plant burners. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Carney doesn’t rule out new pipeline to B.C., repealing tanker ban and emissions cap

As the federal government works towards its next batch of major projects, Prime Minister Mark Carney is not ruling out a new pipeline to the B.C. coast or lifting environmental policies like the tanke...

Our ancestors must be rolling in their graves; they didn't fight and die fighting fascists just for their descendants to turn around and vote for them. Whatever happened to "Lest We Forget"? It would seem many people have forgotten. We should be wearing the poppy year round to remind these people.

MAGA Alberta troll site begs Trump to ban me. Little wonder that MAGA Alberta looks to a foreign adversary for help.
I have been blacklisted by Putin, being banned by Trump would be a source of honour.
And I remain proudly Canadian - true, north, strong, free and never a quisling traitor.

Keifer Sutherland is a grandson of Tommy Douglas, literally the greatest Canadian. It was thanks to Tommy that we have universal healthcare in Canada. This is the story Tommy would tell which resonates today just as it did 80 years ago.
