#CDNpoli should applaud US #Resistance when it rises, not lump all US into one group. Allies supported French Resistance in WWII, not considered all French collaborators. Judging people by their actions, not nationality, is a Canadian value that works. Let’s use it!

We see when Israel’s Iron Dome fails vs regular missile, 10s killed. But if Trump’s Golden Dome fails vs 1 nuke, maybe 1,000,000s killed. A few warheads gettting through may destroy biggest N. American cities. Useless against 1,000s of warheads & decoys. #CDNpoli should reject #GoldenDome. 3/3

#GoldenDome risks include arms race (on earth and in space) & orbital debris wrecking satellites (see above article).

I’d also mention temptation to launch a 1st nuclear strike from behind a supposedly impenetrable #GoldenDome.

I wish larger military were unnecessary – but today, it is. Adult conversation time. We also need other security: income security, food security, housing security. For military security and all types of security, we should raise taxes on those who can afford to pay. We need a Budget ASAP! #CDNpoli

To Ford, forest fires smell like love🤦 Leaders’ statement didn’t mention
#ClimateChange, possibly “…doubling of the amount of area burned by the end of this century, compared with amounts burned in recent decades” (per Govt of #Canada) natural-resources.canada.ca/forest-fores...

Did you have a chance to ask for a clarification: _what_ “rampaging antisemitic riots”? Would he ban peaceful protests? Op-eds criticising Israeli government?

* Also, the US is actually becoming more like Russia, so Canada becoming more like Scandinavia makes even more sense.

Why not be like some of the freest, fairest, happiest , healthiest and greenest countries - who are very willing to fight for all that and are serious about civil & military defence - Scandinavia, of course? 2/2

Need better role models. Athens: slavery, did not recognize women’s right to vote, tyranny of majority imposed death penalty on philosopher who questioned their assumptions (Socrates). Also, created a regional empire and fell under sway of demagogues, had a massive epidemic and lost a major war 1/2
