Upside this will impact the level of foreign investment in the USA - downside no way we will get tariff relief for Canadian steel now 🤦‍♀️
US Steel has effectively been nationalized (by the political party supposedly fighting American socialism)

This is coercion and eugenics at its ugliest.

They're intentionally mistreating a disabled man to encourage him to let them end his life.

Please read his story and consider the pleas of other disabled Canadians who've said that MAiD is being abused.

It’s wild to me that there are still people out there saying “they won’t/can’t do that because it’s against the law.”

My father, uncle, and father-in-law were US Marines who fought fascist overreach in the South Pacific in World War 2. I know if they were alive today, they would object to sending Marines to enable fascist overreach in Los Angeles by Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Homan today.

What is happening in Los Angeles is not a distraction from Trump’s Billionaire Bailout Bill.

The bill explicitly gives ICE and DHS the resources needed to do around the country what they’re doing in LA. We should call that out.

The agenda of mass deportations is deeply anti-worker. One in five workers in America is an immigrant. They’re vital to the fabric of our communities.

The real threat workers face is corporate greed, not immigrants.
Immigration
One in five workers in America wasn’t born here. Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

May the spirit of rebellion grow & multiply!!

I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are ever responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist time, they don't need "excuses."

Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity, & keep tactical differences internal

Pierre Poilievre is eligible for a $169,000 severance payment from taxpayers for losing Carleton

He'll get paid by taxpayers for losing his seat, then start collecting his $309,000 salary again as soon as he takes that Alberta riding

He's not just fine he's on paid vacation while you slave to pay.

Chantal Hebert nails it, True North & Rebel are third party advertisers in this election campaign. They are NOT accredited media. She also points out the time change and dropping the Greens at last minute. #cdnpoli

Let me know if I have this right, right wing advocates took up much of the time last night and prevented much of the post-debate questioning from mainstream reporters. Tonight they disrupted the post-debate question time, so no mainstream reporters could ask questions.
