Happy Obama Day to the #resistance in 🇺🇸 from 🇨🇦!

Happy #SocialistSunday! If anyone asks, tell them you're making exercise equipment for billionaires. It is guaranteed to help them lose weight.

What 🇨🇦 needs: Reconciliation 90% top tax rates Climate Action Basic Income What Liberals are cheering for this election: Deregulation Tax cuts for rich Pipelines Could Liberals move the Overton Window left instead please? Stop using capitulation to right wing interests as your "strategy".

The scale is then repeated with X over "the left" and the lines of balance moving right each time until the last line where "the left" is at "the right"'s starting position and "the center" and "the right" are extended out beyond original scale.

There is no freedom of religion until there is freedom from religion. Apostasy is not a crime. Blasphemy is not a crime. Claims made without evidence should be dismissed. Doubling down on orthodoxy in face of facts isn't faith, it's intentional ignorance. Humans invented "gods" not vice versa.

Wealth inequality is an issue North America has dealt with it before. How? 90% top tax rates. One move, gave resources to make the glory days Boomers go on about. For context, in Canada entering the top 0.01% required a minimum of $7,436,400 in 2024. In USA $17,855,123 (2022). #EatTheRich
Graph of the income share of the top 0.01% in Canada and USA from 1920 to 2000 with range of 0% to 3.5%. The graph forms a U shape showing the high points in 1920 to 1940 and 1985 to 2000 and a big dip from 1945 to 1980.

Happy Flag Day #Canada! It came down because of the Clownvoy, but up now in resistance to the Orange Clown & others wreaking havoc on democracy around the world. The 🇨🇦 turns 60 this year & is becoming a symbol of international resistance to imperialism at the same time. In #Solidarity, eh!

The Rainbow Maple Guard #OnGuardForThee Volunteer civilian force. Section 494 of the Criminal Code of Canada outlines how civilians can legally engage in police functions. Since police often stand by authoritarian rule, civilian led units are needed to guarantee our Charter rights. Good idea?

This is the "third" panel of Evil Corp Loves you. This one was illustrating our American neighbour's healthcare system in hope of not doing that, ever. Despite still experiencing a mass disabling event in COVID, no chance a govt says #MaskUp even though it is an effective tactical action. I digress.
A mock comic panel contrasting a corporate mission statement of creating relationships and healthcare that prioritizes treatment over cures. The pharmacist thought bubble compares drug prices as an equivalent to housing prices and reveals their motivation for the job was accordingly, to steal drugs.

Here is the "second" Evil Corp Loves You comic panel. I was aiming to contrast the benign corporate mission statement with an absurdity. It is terrible the absurdity is taken up so often these days as something to do not as one of the worst things imaginable.
Mock comic panel of an ad for Evil Corp. It contrasts a benign mission statement on the "empowerment of children" and presenting a child in a police uniform informing others that protesting child labour is illegal and he is armed and untrained.

I wrote some satirical #comic panels in form of a fictional corporate ad campaign while playing around five years ago. May as well repost a few of them here. I don't remember the original order but here's the "first" of Evil Corp Loves You.
Mock comic panel of a satirical ad for Evil Corp. Using a benign mission statement of "children are our most important resource" to contrast a white lady brainwashing children as a professional grift. Thought bubbles of the boy reads "The Jello tastes funny here" while the girl's bubble repeats "I like my new mom" three times.

Hi #CanadaSky. The PM gets some human being points but I wish voters understood that federal Liberal and Conservative parties are, and have always been, right wing. This isn't my opinion, this is the reality of the positions the parties hold. We have a right wing duopoly inside a multi-party system.
Authoritarian / Libertarian & Left / Right grid with Canada's 5 leading federal parties.
