Yes, sadly Canadians have a habit of voting governments out, and not paying attention to what is coming in.

The Robin Hood one (may not be correct name) was a classic too.

Happy ’Last’ Independence Day to all of my American friends 🇺🇸 Get your shit together, would you please? I’d love to visit again soon, but not if the fascists win in November. -Sincerely, Canada 🇨🇦

This is exactly why American oligarchs want to install Trump. Shareholder “value” over actual people. People have been conditioned to vote against their own best interests.

You’re never going to be able to understand modern politics until you stop ignoring the role that the medium of communication plays. People today spend truly massive amounts of time immersed in various forms of media - mostly online! The narratives and dynamics of this media shapes their world.

Everything Trump Touches Dies. Somehow, he always gets away with “it”, but those in his orbit pay a high price.

The ghost of Harper and the IDU. Ford, Moe, Smith, Poilivere. Time to take the gloves off and expose these fools. It seems very few people are concerned with what’s happening and it really blows my mind.

Canada needs to brace itself for the coming US sh!tshow. And the same forces are at work here in Canada. We’re insulated a bit but we’re not immune. Same in France and other nations.

🇨🇦Here. Yes, we are judging you. Also, dodging the same bullet - but about 2 years behind your March. Sadly, our ex PM Harper and the IDU is a lot to blame for other right wing gong shows in India, Hungary, and with Mike Roman in the Fake electors cases in Georgia an Arizona. …Sorry

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

FACT: Donald Trump is in Jeffrey Epstein's newly released appointment logs. FACT: Donald Trump was sued by a woman who claims she was RAPED by Trump when she was a 12-year-old Epstein captive -- but the suit was dropped, 4 DAYS before the 2016 election, because of death threats.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Each person is given a dial. You can turn it up as high as 100. If you love what you are hearing, turn it down as low as zero if you hate what you are hearing, and every time Trump opened his mouth, those dials dropped, they just absolutely plummeted..

I have no idea about (1), because I didn't watch the debate. But here's what I can say about (2): the only people who care about this are high-information partisans. And for them it's about emotional satisfaction.

Every “person” you see in this is a job an actor didn’t get. Every “object” you see cost prop masters work. Every “set” you see is a place no crew was paid to work. The machine that made it was trained with stolen images. Fuck this video. Fuck the ghouls who made it. And fuck Toys-R-Us forever.

People said Greenpeace was nuts in 2009 to predict 921GW of installed solar by 2030. Last year there was 1,419GW. Cost dropped 95% from 2008-20 and it’s dropping faster. There will be vast amounts of cheap clean energy in the future; we just need to use it.

Better off to double the automatic sentence for committing a crime while masked if they want to fix what they claim to want to fix. A balaclava is a far cry from an N-95. Hard to believe we’re still doing this with H5N1 on the horizon.

#DonStewart apparently did not campaign or even show himself to the public

Another oddity is the enormous number of independent candidates

Almost as if someone was trying to remove some Liberal votes by fielding hand picked niche appealing selected by social media analysis
