I’m old enough to remember when federal Conservatives were yelling about how Mark Carney needs to make housing more affordable.

A free press that challenges those in power isn’t “the enemy.”

It’s the point!👇

Very well put together thread on what Canada's future defence might look like.
Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going.
Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x
Sweden, Finland and Norway release new advice on surviving war
Sweden said the new advice follows a worsening security situation, by which it means the war in Ukraine.

Thanks @wgreaves.bsky.social
Part of defending Canada‘s democracy and sovereignty = stopping sources of disinformation + division. Would appreciate if you could please encourage @mark-carney.bsky.social to ban X and get all government accounts onto BlueSky instead!
@mark-carney.bsky.social
Long past time to ditch X.
It’s like if we’d allowed widespread publication of Das Reich in WW2 or helped amplify Radio Moscow during the Cold War. (AND if our governments were at the same using those same channels to share info). It’s bananas.
Seems like a good day to re-post this. All public institutions in Canada, including CBC and every level of government, should ditch Xitter immediately - it’s a racist, fascist filth factory run by Nazi-loving Apartheid Clyde.

Something that’s not nearly being talked about enough is the detention by ICE of Native Americans. It is something that has been continually seen as ICE has terrorized neighborhoods and families

Yes time for Canada (and other countries) to deep-six X. It’s a national security threat.

Right-wing media are backing Trump as he threatens to use the Insurrection Act.

Right wing media calling for the Insurrection Act are openly asking the president to use the military against Americans.

Using it to silence dissent or the press would be a profound abuse of power.

That isn’t patriotism.

It’s fear of democracy.

Know what it was historically known for?

As a concentration camp for First Nations people's in 1862.

I think tribal members were taken specifically bc they were racially profiled- they probably were mistaken for Latinex.
Equally disturbing is that three of them are “lost” by ICE. Likely tip of the iceberg bc ICE Barbie doesn’t care who they disappear. She just wants bodies to feed their machine.

Chase Iron Eyes is a real example of leadership for his people and the community of Minneapolis. Notice that he is there, in person, and speaking the truth.
