The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

I think it's time to kick those american cops out of our airports ..., If they want to check on folks entering their country, they should do it on their own soil.

Canada doesn't need US Gestapos presence. We Need LESS integration, not more.

Hearing some “elections workers” were at advance polling stations in #yyc telling people that candidates had dropped out so there would be no trustee ballots.

When those candidates had not dropped out.

A British academic is tracking the Dictator in the WH’s authoritarian acts since taking office in Jan.

It tracks illegalities, unconst’l acts, abuses of power - anything undermining democracy & propping up authoritarianism.

Tally is at 1466 authoritarian acts.

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!
