Canadian. Dislike misinfo/disinfo & propaganda fr PH & all political stripes. Concerned about our kids' futures & the rise of fascism. Can be uncivil. Distractions incl archaeology, history, non-fiction & nature/photography.

Glad to follow anyone who's ABC and do so, but miss me with the crap below.

We can see it. It's malevolent and counter-productive. It OFTEN makes wrong assumptions.

In return, I will refrain from correcting the propaganda as I see it & stop tone policing in other peoples' threads.
Trying to engage with some diehard Dippers on here as well, same result: "TruAnon," "sad pathetic lives" "you're in a cult" "Liberals same as Cons" "Liberals are the same as MAGA" [both objectively BS] etc.

We need each other - contempt, disrespect, lies & condescension help fascists 👎

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:

(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year

(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives

Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.
These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why
ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed

a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭

i have TMJ that acts up sometimes and my jaw dislocates. if i can't put it back in place myself i have to go to a hospital. when this happened to me in China it was an $18 registration fee for the hospital and a doctor set it back in place in like 5 minutes. my last bill for this in the US was $3300

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer. 
 
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

We’re focused on building Canada strong for New Brunswickers. That means building more homes and stronger infrastructure, transforming our forestry and resource industries to seize new markets, and bringing down costs.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who put service before self.

To every veteran and their families: Thank you for your courage and sacrifice. Our nation is stronger and safer because of you.

And stop voting for fascists and authoritarians
This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

This is what we will get, Canada, if Ford, Smith and the others advocating for private healthcare and destroying public healthcare get their way

Carney too, needs to be held accountable to continuing full funding of public healthcare and not caving to his wealthy friends

So moved and enraged by the replies to this and was thinking... maybe we should collect them and send them to Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Senate cowards.

Form here, won't collect emails unless you provide them.
