“It’s an absolute tragedy that politics is overtaking doing what’s right for 🇨🇦: Jivani negotiating without any credibility, Pierre saying he has better plan, Danielle Smith saying we need to get back to the negotiating table right away. It’s abhorrent.” F Trump! F Conservatives! #cdnpoli

Not great news. But this has been brewing for years in Germany's east. The AfD in Germany has attempted to dismiss its neo-nazi roots but they are still very much there. And let's not forget CPC MP's had dinner with an AfD rep not too long ago. Canada cannot let this extreme RW movement take hold.

The 80-year era of US economic leadership is over. As tragic as that is this is the new reality." #cdnpoli

The science is in, we have the solutions to most of our troubles, the problem isn't one of knowing what to do or how to do it, the problem is the politicians are being paid off by corporations to do what's profitable, instead of what's right. What we need most immediately Is different politicians.
