A thread for any 🇺🇸s or for 🇨🇦s who’ve forgotten (or who’ve seen too much 🇺🇸 TV/social media content & forgot): our laws are different.
We have ✨The 🇨🇦 Charter of Rights and Freedoms” which is a part of our Constitution. One of the freedoms guaranteed in there is the “freedom of expression.” 🧵 1/7

Mahsa Amini was killed by a regime enforcing moral control over women.
Renee Good was killed by a state apparatus enforcing control through armed authority.
One was labeled morality.
The other was labeled law enforcement.
Both labels were used to excuse murder.

Freeland has held nearly every top economic and foreign policy role in Canada, Deputy PM, Finance Minister, Foreign Minister, Trade Minister. Few Western officials understand sanctions, trade, and power politics at her level. #cdnpoli

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis.

This photo is Canadians fighting the Nazis in the Battle of Britain.
We were a poor country of 11 million people. We built the 4th largest air force and navy in the world.
When the Brits were being evacuated at Dunkirk we were already defending her shores.
Message to fascists and tyrants: FAFO

The US keeps selling arms to the UAE despite their support for these crimes. And Trump only cares about cutting deals with the Emiratis.
Enough. No more weapons for war crimes.
