The US regime isn't only trying to destabilise Canada via Alberta separtists, they are also trying to undermine democracy in Europe.

Canada and the EU must collectively push back to protect democracy.

Protesting and boycotting will need to be included in the list of methods, because they work, as we saw with the cancelled sale of Pattison's warehouse to ICE.

Resist in every way possible. ✊🏾

Using taxpayer $ to issue small quarterly cheque to taxpayers is not a solution.

We need:
-Legislation to revoke/prohibit legal covenants that prevent retail competition
-Price gouging enforcement
-Tax bracket change (shift burden to $250k+ earners)
-Barrier removal for Cdn food producers

For people who say "77 million Americans are Trump supporters," I would like to point to this poll.

There are 349 million Americans. If we subtract children, 40% of the 277 million adults is 111 million.

111 million American adults support Trump. Despite everything he's done. Horrifying.

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?

The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.

Low-barrier housing ("wet" shelter beds) is not actual substance-use treatment beds. It's important housing, but it's deceptive to suggest these are treatment beds.

The BC gov't needs to be more transparent.

The B.C. government is still counting low-barrier housing in its total of “publicly funded substance-use treatment beds.” It’s a practice that drew criticism over a year ago when the IJF first exposed it.

Canada's federal government has quietly purchased components for 14 more US F-35s.

This is in addition to the 16 F-35s that they've already agreed to buy.

All while the purchase has been "on hold."

Norway also has publicly owned oil, and their associated sovereign wealth fund is valued at Cdn $2.7 Trillion.

Canada should do the same with oil & gas in BC, Alberta, Sask, Nova Scotia, & NFLD.
