Seems like only yesterday that anti-climate people in Canada were telling us how we have to dig up all the tar sands because our emissions are irrelevant compared to China.

Never forget that Pierre Poilievre stood with the people who literally pissed and danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, tore down fencing to protect the National War Memorial. This group catapulted his leadership run. #cdnpoli #remembranceday

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Dayanne Figueroa, a U.S. citizen and paralegal, was dragged from her car by ICE agents in Chicago after their unmarked vehicle crashed into hers. Despite being injured and in shock, she was taken to multiple locations, denied contact with her family or a lawyer, and was released without any charges.

It's time to take this seriously, to institute de-radicalization programs before we lose complete control of society and we awaken one day to a racist, misogynist right wing dictatorship.
The far right radicalization of young men is a serious issue. Fanning male rage was a big part of the MAGA movement and is part of the game plan on the Polievre Conservatives.
In my latest piece I discuss the toxic impacts on schools and democracy.
