It's time to talk about income inequality in Canada. We can't build a truly democratic nation when so many people are relying on food banks and can't afford where they live.
Inequality is a breeding ground for extremist ideologies.

SCOTUS is as cruel as Trump and just as corrupt.
BREAKING: SCOTUS issues emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP food aid payments.
Trump is the most cruel & barbaric man imaginable. He is claiming the government will be permanently harmed by ensuing hungry Americans are fed.
This will kill low income people. This is structural eugenics.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

Deaf guy tried to show ICE his ID. An agent grabbed it and didn't return it.
So he tried to type a message about his disability but an agent grabbed his phone.
He was left w/ no way to communicate w/ the men seizing him.
He was a DACA recipient (a "dreamer"). He spent nearly a month in detention.
