This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

The Toronto Police Association's members and Executive are subject to the Police Services Act, which prohibits the endorsement of political candidates. The Police Board affirmed this position in 2010. This post — which is an egregious abuse of power — shouldn't be above the law.
Text from a tweet from the Toronto Police Association. It reads, "We asked the leading contenders for Prime Minister for their position on the policing and public safety issues that matter the most to our members and the communities we serve.

As you head to the ballot box next week, consider these responses. It is clear to us there is only one Party that has maintained a strong position on public safety issues and proactively supported police services.

While our vote is with @PierrePoilievre and the @CPC_HQ, we will work with whoever leads the next government and we will hold them accountable as we continue to advocate for our members and the public."

What's a CPC candidate doing in a group chat with a self-identified white nationalist and another person who promotes neo-Nazi documentaries on their livestream?
screenshot of text: Evan Balgord, Executive Director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, notes the full group chat member list reads like a who’s who of right-wing media personalities and far-right activists. “Some of these people are quite extreme in my opinion,” Balgord told PressProgress.

“Bethan Nodwell, for example, is a self-identified white nationalist who has denied the Holocaust,” Balgord pointed out. “Shadoe Davis, another member of the chat, promoted the neo-Nazi Holocaust denial documentary series ‘Europa: The Last Battle’, which is a spanning piece of propaganda that blames Jewish people for starting the Second World War as part of a larger plot to lead to the foundation of Israel, while Adolf Hitler’s Nazis were merely defending themselves and Europe.”

Balgord added other names on the group chat member list are “associated with the white nationalist network Diagolon.”

~Poilievre Stop in Fish Plant Smells All political parties do this, try to control the scene and the environment. But most are not physically aggressive or threatening This behaviour by the Conservatives is not new for this election. It started with Harper. canadianjournalist.ca/poilievre-ca...
Beside the assault and aggression, what is happening here is a carefully contrived and controlled scene in a public space, stage-managed for the party photographer and video crew to get content for their ad campaigns. They don’t want any real media present to ask questions or record anything off-script. This is also why the Conservative Party does not allow news media to travel with them on their plane or buses. They don’t want to answer questions from journalists or have any photos or video made that they cannot control or manipulate. NOTE: The Liberal Party and the NDP do allow journalists to travel with them, and the news agencies pay their share of the expenses.
