Worried about rising fascism on Turtle Island, especially how 'canada's' Liberal government is pushing through right-wing policies that will harm us all?

Show up Saturday!

Did i miss the post or video or statement from Harris or other Dems condemning Trump for bombing Iran? Surely, if the Dems wouldn't have bombed Iran they would be shouting to the world that it was wrong to bomb Iran, no?

Our idiot PM didn't post this Orientalist crap on bluesky, so here it is.

He's been listening to Bob Dylan's "neighborhood bully" again.

It's giving day at UBC. The university wants people to give them their money, but they refuse to listen to their students and refuse to end their complicity in genocide. Read about UBC's complicity and sign the petition at ubcdivest.org

I just received this email, today, April 2. But surely it this is an April Fool's gag, no? Do the NDP seriously think they will capture the imagination of voters this way?

Funny how Palestinian resistance to zionism is demonized as terrorism by this guy, but somehow the settler colonial state is justified in standing on guard against US manifest destiny.

So development aid programs are about asserting US "power"(foreign policy and economic interests) and not actually helping alleviate poverty??? hmmm...

When i say it, i'm being cynical and reductive, but when US Senators say it as a way of defending the value of USAID...
