I'm glad that Charlie Angus is reaching a larger audience, he's doing far more to unite Canadians against fascism than Carney, who keeps making moves like this that are frankly terrifying. #cdnpoli
I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

Please, all Canadians, please seriously consider taking a moment to write all political party leaders, and asking one other person to do the same>
The next order of business from NOW until #Parliament REOPENS is to pressure every one of our MP’s, media and representatives to demand
🚩ALL POLITICAL PARTY LEADERS MUST GET THE #SECURITYCLEARANCE‼️
Remember, as we are told by GOVT, “in this more divided and MOST DANGEROUS time…” #cdnpoli

Netanyahu is moving into his final solution phase in Gaza - the forced expulsion of a starving population. The west makes statements but makes no steps to impose sanctions or charge Canadians serving in the IDF death machine. Meanwhile the grandmothers are refusing to be silent.
