The Dominion Society had 4 people at the Canada First Rally, but it's clear most attending the rally don't know what they represent. Two members in full Merch were welcomed and asked to share their website with ppl and the other two were kicked out when they said Canada was for white ppl only.

Joe and his Canada First crew seem to have kicked out two people who were livestreaming and saying that they needed to kick out the POC at the rally as Canada should be an ethnostate and only white people can be Canadian... so I guess they aren't the white nationalists we thought they were?

How is ChatGPT still a thing when they are so morally compromised on every front. This BC shooting should have never happened between the RCMP allowing the guns back in the house, the Roblox game getting flagged and now ChatGPT not alerting authorities...
While using ChatGPT last June, Van Rootselaar described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of several days, according to people familiar with the matter.
Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said. 
OpenAI leaders ultimately decided not to contact authorities.

They dont even have the right equipment. They dont do the majority of woodbine sidewalks fully because they cant fit on the sidewalk when there is a pole. It is ridiculous!

This is a good time to remind folks that sexism is still sexism even if you are directing it at a fascist. The problem with Pam Bondi isn't that she is a woman, it is that she is an atrocious human being. There is plenty to attack her on, her genitals are not one of them.

Want to cross the street to go to woodbine park from the lake? Goodluck, the snow plows thought it was a great idea to place a snow bank on the sidewalk so high that you can't get to the crossing button. Have fun crossing the highway without a signal. What are sidewalks anyways?

I shoveled my sidewalk because the city contractors still hadn't come by 4pm... I just came outside to take my daughter out and the plow has come but decided our section of the block disnt need to be passable anymore. Instead of making things better they made things worse.

So the speed camera on lakeshore leading to woodbine got cut down... I take my daughter for walks everyday and not a single time has a car not run the red, pulled out keeping us from safely crossing the road etc. At some point cops need to do their jobs or it will be left to parents like me.
Safety crews remove the cut down speed camera.

It's a cool little mechanism that relies on placing tension on the back plate once the lock is slid in. To release it, you need to sandwich the spring and as you slide the key in the spring collapses, allowing the tension bar to pass through.

We received a trunk with an antique Chinese lock from my wife's grandparents. We have yet to find the key among the boxes but we were eager to open it so I made a key.

Looks like Nate was blindsided by not getting his housing file again.

beynate Congratulations to new and old colleagues who were sworn in today. This moment calls for a capable team ready to get to work quickly.
It's nice to see a number of colleagues receive overdue recognition and I'm hopeful we'll see a lot accomplished in the coming months.
I'm not back in any role, unfortunately, so it may not surprise you to learn that it's been a strange day on my end.
I ran again because of the opportunity to make an even bigger difference around the cabinet table and to help fix the housing crisis. The way it played out doesn't sit right and it's impossible not to feel disrespected. But I'm mostly disappointed that my team and I won't have the chance to build on all we accomplished with only a short runway.
Our ambitious housing plan is bigger than one person, of course. I wish the new minister well and hope we'll see fast action to unleash the market, double down on efforts to build community housing, address chronic
homelessness, and treat housing as a home first (and investment second).
You never know what the future holds. But for now, I'll be working hard for my neighbours here in Beaches-East York, restarting the Uncommons podcast, and returning to Parliament with a renewed sense of freedom.

The Canadian right is now rife with talk about the election being stolen. A post from a woman claiming to be an Information Officer is spreading around right wing groups like wildfire:
I worked as an Information Officer, in the Federal Election on April 28, 2025.1 was at the - Dr Knox Ecole /School- Polling Station in Kelowna BC from 5:45 AM until 8:30 PM .
I want to put in writing what I witnessed
1.	Numerous voters, at least 50%, asked if they could use their pen, that they brought to vote. I said YES.
LATER- after the polls closed, I was then asked to, do the Tally. ( Record the choice of vote on the ballot ) As the Deputy Returning Officer called out the Name of The Candidate selected, I was to record it
I noticed, None Of the ballots were in Pen. Only pencil. I know for a Fact, I sent most voters, that had a voting card, to desk # 17.
The total of votes tallied at desk #17 were the most of any other desk in the Polling Station. I asked my DRO why none were in pen. No answer offered.
These ballots were then put in an envelope and sealed. My signature is on record as I tallied the total.
2.	I noticed many voters turned away that had proper ID. I talked with many to ask why they were refused as these voters were very upset and felt very concerned that they were refused. It turned out that an ENTIRE APARTMENT BUILDING on Valley Road was missing from Elections Canada Information. Meaning none of the residents had voter cards. Without the cards they needed to provide valid ID. Without
PROOF OF The Building Existing, none of the occupants could vote, even with valid Passports, Drivers Licenses, morgage docs, rental agreements, bills ect It was mindboggling to watch these people turned away. I brought each person to the supervisor to help them vote and the Supervisor said there was nothing they could do without without Election Canada approval.
3.	Election Canada was not accessible most of the day. By the afternoon, no supervisor or senior officers could get through for any verification
4.	over 60% of voters were under 35 at this location. There were a handful of 70 year old and up. This was remarkable to see such a massive amount of youth. I lost co…

When leaders like Trump and Poilievre no longer care about the truth and use outright lies to try and get power they are using Fascist strategies. It is no longer hyperbole when folks call them out and say they are fascists or are at least flirting with fascism.
"We [Fascists] don't think ideology is a problem that is resolved in such a way that truth is seated on a throne. But, in that case, does fighting for an ideology mean fighting for mere appearances? No doubt, unless one considers it according to its unique and Efficacious psychological-historical value. The truth of an ideology lies in its capacity to set in motion our capacity for ideals and action. Its truth is absolute insofar as, living within us, it suffices to exhaust those capacities "
A. Bertelè, Aspetti ideologici del fascismo (Turin, 1930)
The truth was whatever permitted the new fascist man (and woman) to dominate others, and whatever made the chosen people triumph. - The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton

So after weeks of PP attacking Carney on his connection to Brookfield it turns out Poilievre is invested in VCE; an index fund heavily invested in Brookfield...
Poilievre’s assets and investments list a fund that includes Brookfield
Elizabeth Thompson
Poilievre’s most recent financial disclosure to the ethics commissioner's office on June 23, 2024 lists ownership of six exchange traded funds, or ETFs.
Earlier this week, Conservative Party spokesman Sam Lilly told CBC News that Poilievre had sold his funds with international assets and bought Canadian assets.
According to a list provided by the Conservative Party, Poilievre provided an update of his assets to the ethics commissioner’s office. One of those is (VCE) Vanguard FTSE Canada Index ETF, an index fund invested in the Canadian economy.
One of the top assets in the VCE index fund? Brookfield Corp., which includes Carney’s old investment firm.
Poilievre also holds $8,124.61 worth of bitcoin (value as Monday).

This is what fascism light looks like. It is trying to discredit a journalist before they ever get to say anything so no matter what they say your base and others don't take it seriously. This is the head of PP's comms team. If you don't lie in your campaign you shouldn't worry about a fact checker.
