Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Pay attention folks. Danielle Smith and the Alberta MAGA machine are using the Donbas playbook.
This isn't about "independence" it is about sedition and subservience to Trump.

Europe and India are making history today.
We have concluded the mother of all deals.
We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.
This is only the beginning.
We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

Danielle Smith is a traitor. She has been trashing the incredible "Alberta advantage" in education, health care, the rule of law. Now she is out to destroy our country.
Let's call this for what it is - sedition.

Canada has immense talent and resources. We are a democratic nation that believes in the rule of law. We must consider the price we will pay to ensure that our children live in a nation free from the intimidation of the United States.

Totally agreed. This thread 👇 summarizes approach in several countries to preparing for crises of all sorts, and recent thinking about how Canada can become more resilient.
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.

Russians have razed these Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russians bring is death and destruction.
And in the cities they cannot reach, russians destroy infrastructure to freeze people to death.
We must help Ukraine survive this genocide. Stand with Ukraine.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.
But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.
Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.
