We will not allow this to become normal.

The Trump regime is trying to crush dissent beginning with those who speak out for Palestinian freedom. This is a threat to all who believe in justice. Tell Congress to protect students & demand Mahmoud’s release: bit.ly/freemahmoudnow

We will not stand idly by: Free Mahmoud Khalil!

Jewish Voice for Peace demands the Trump administration release Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. The detention of Mahmoud is further proof that we are on the brink of a full takeover by a repressive, authoritarian regime.

First, Trump’s NEC Director says tariff revenue will fund Trump’s tax cuts for the rich. Then, @pierrepoilievremp.bsky.social suggests Canada’s tariff revenue should also go to tax cuts. Who wins? Billionaires. Who loses? You.

Better idea: tax US billionaires to build sovereignty in our economy

You know, there are competitors to Starlink. After this, if Canadian company (or Premier) needing satellite internet doesn't consider those other options, then their loyalties are suspect.

The planet is on fire. Trump and Pierre Poilievre will burn the planet so that corporations can make even more profits.
We are witnessing a dismal example of bumper sticker slogans when young people are looking to their leaders to step up.

Write to Liberal, NDP and Green MP’s offices – ask them why they keep posting on a website owned by a guy who does sieg heil salutes, endorses the German AfD and threatens democracies around the world

They won’t do anything if they get 1 or 2 emails, they will respond if they get 100 or 200 emails
Luke how can we convince Canadian politicians to post here? I cringe everytime I see a screenshot of Trudeau's X account.
