If i may be allowed to add an ingredient to understanding the stew that is the MAGA movement…

White supremacy is a faction of the MAGA movement. Not its entirety. The depressing fact is that a sizable chunk of MAGA are non-white retirees who have been poisoned by social media & Fox News.

There’s something scary happening in the Canadian federal election.

In Quebec, the Bloc leader is now telling voters β€œCarney WILL WIN” so people can vote to give the Bloc more seats.

Singh is now saying Carney will get a β€œsuper majority” so voters can elect NDP candidates.

Do you see the problem?

By that logic bricks should be free because a single brick doesn't constitute a wall.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores.
This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament.

Trump praised him. Musk called him β€œa good guy.”
Poilievre’s copying the U.S. playbookβ€”defund CBC, attack the press, spread division.

No MAGA politics here.
We need public media. We need the CBC.

If we’re going to compare resumes, let’s talk about the fact that Pierre Poilievre has never had a job outside of politics.

There is something deeply wrong and broken within #PierrePoilieve. His demands to be photographed at a distance, while press is kept many meters away so that it’s more difficult to ask questions, is but one indicator that this is a weird authoritarian wannabe. #StopPoilievre #Elxn2025 #cdnpoli

The Race For Government Heats Up As Liberals recover in the polls, the Conservatives guarantee at a majority government continues to slip away

Only two short months ago, the Liberals were averaging 40-50 seats in the model

Now they're back in the triple digits with a wild rebound in progress

Groups of those horrid β€œkalibr” cruise missiles are flying all over the place now, russians don’t do this very often. They are literally launching them specifically because of the aid and intelligence pause. Thank you, president Trump. I’ll go put on a suit now. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Schooling Canada's MAGA MAPLE.
Pierre Poilievre made his name beating down on a small town journalist while filling his face with an apple.
He comes to Northern Ontario for rage rallies but won't go in the mines or mills to meet workers.

Socialism is what they called public power.Β 

Socialism is what they called social security.Β

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to beβ€”and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.
