A few old men are raining death, chaos, and destruction on the world and somehow we can’t stop them? 8 billion of us versus a few old men and their sycophants. How are we not able to stop this? If Star Trek has taught us anything, it’s that resistance is NOT futile. #resist

They’re detaining children. I had to pause & let that sink in. Children in Minneapolis are traumatized because ICE hangs around their schools & detains their schoolmates. They must be so afraid. 💔 Sending love to my American neighbours who are fighting for democracy. Keep fighting. #resistance

I have to say I’m enjoying this approach a bit. It reminds me of parenting advice I got regarding temper tantrums. Don’t react, don’t give in. Be the adult in the room. #Canadastrong

Here is my reflection on the PM's attempt to meet with the architect of Project 2025. There is no dialogue with those who brag about destroying democracy and suspending the rights of citizens. This is the lesson that Europeans learned too late in the 1930s. charlieangus.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Carney announced an invitation for Kevin Roberts, the architect of Project 2025, to meet with his Liberal Cabinet ahead of Parliament's return.

This isn’t cool. At the very least, the optics aren’t good. At worst, our government is entertaining known threats to democracy & legitimizing their views. You can’t be “a little bit authoritarian” any more than you can be “a little bit pregnant”. I’ll be emailing the PM to express my concerns.

Poilievre promising to "defund" the CBC is the same as what Trump is doing in the US with CBS and other news outlets. The fact that these outlets report news, along with opinions, has resulted in Poilievre branding them as "fake news". Sound familiar? www.mediaite.com/news/trump-d...
