Adithya Ramachandran 🇨🇦🇫🇷 @adithyar.bsky.social · 7hHere's a little thing everyone can do. When you see a white nationalist Canadian posting hateful comments on social media, screenshot it and send it to their employer if that info is public. Sometimes the employer won't care, but sometimes larger companies do want to save face. Do it consistently. 140
Adithya Ramachandran 🇨🇦🇫🇷 @adithyar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Remigrate every Canadian white nationalist back to Europe on a one-way ticket. If Europe won't take them, a prison cell will do. These scum don't belong in Canadian society. We are being way too tolerant of homegrown Nazis just because they were born in Canada. 1155

Adithya Ramachandran 🇨🇦🇫🇷 @adithyar.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I wrote to the Canadian Embassy in Paris early last year suggesting a closer relationship between Canada and the EU.
