It's almost hilarious watching liberals preemptively pin the blame on the conservatives for the budget failing and laying the groundwork for blaming the third parties as well when their party refuses to work with anyone other than the cons who are playing oppose everything the government does.

Having finished watching the NDP leadership forum a little bit ago, I just have to say all 5 candidates would be amazing leaders, the best result would be own wins and the other court are invited to help as much as possible they all want the same thing, the betterment of life for Canadians.

Art = Work. That is something that New Democrats fundamentally believe.

That's why today, candidate Sheilagh O'Leary announced that an NDP government would make the Year of the Arts funding the new permanent amount for Arts NL grants, adding $2.7 million for artists.

#OtD 4 Oct 1939 four Italian immigrant anarchists were arrested in Canada for possession of "subversive" anti-fascist literature and threatened with deportation to fascist Italy: effectively a death sentence. But Emma Goldman helped them get acquitted stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1047...

Except for the public institutions that aid Canadians, the public services that help Canadians, and the crown corps that help Canadians. Youll cut the budget of virtually every government service and you'll degrade Canada post services (which will cause layoffs) all to avoid wealth taxes, all to
The time to invest in Canada is now.

Carney’s ready to spend big on subsidies to private corporations, but his government calls support for essential public services a “bailout.”

If a communitst hadnt been found guilty of the reichstag fire the Reichstag Fire Decree wouldve still happened. If the fire hadnt happened the Brownshirts wouldve created an incident to pass the ___ decree for the same effect. If a jewish teen hadnt shot Ernst vom Rath in Paris do you think (1/?)

Inviting a 'mastermind' of project 2025 is the equivalent of any country that bordered Germany inviting Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess to talk with them because he helped write Mein Kampf and understands Hitler.

Now if you don't get why that's bad, these people would die for their cause (1/4)

Carney is a coward whose actions as PM have directly undermined Canada and Canadian interests in behalf of American business and American government interests. He is no better than Polievere in that regard.
Anyone who supports his actions still does so on the basis that a deal with Trump is viable.

Two Parliments, Two Prime Ministers, Two Foreign Affairs Ministers, one consistent lie to aid a genocide.
A new bombshell report just dropped that exposes hundreds of Canadian arms shipments to Israel.

I reached out to the government about this...and their response suggested either further obfuscation or that they're uninformed about weapons exports during a genocide.

Here's what happened:

I spent the last few days reaching out to advocates, experts and the government about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new border bill, Bill C-2.

What I learned was…not reassuring.

In fact, advocates are warning it could create a framework for Trump-style mass deportations -- and more:

For anyone that reads what I "tweet"(?) why the hell should I support a government that makes Trudeau look pro labour. As a reminder he crushed strikes and that's what caused the NDP to tear up the unconditional support agreement (supply and confidence) at which point every single policy was up for

Inviting the king is not a show of our sovereignty, it's not a strengthening of our international relations, and it is not good for our people.

To have to invite our head of state to come over from the UK is already bad enough before considering the fact he isn't just our head of state.

If the riding you live in is not currently Tory, vote for the incumbent.

If the second place against a Tory is Liberal, vote Liberal.

If the second place against a Tory is NDP, vote NDP.

Not doing these contributes to vote splitting
