Democracy means we choose our own way of life and future, we choose the path that's best for ourselves and not what's best for the oligarch parasites sitting in the US, Israel, Russia or anywhere else. International law, human rights, freedom, and sovereignty are non-negotiable.

Canadian media is not what most think.
It’s not just about foreign media. Time to reup my earlier post.

Canadians are lobsters in a propaganda pot. CBC, for all its faults is the only independent and truly Canadian media.

Canadian media is influenced by 5 billionaire families and a US (Trump MAGA) hedge fund. Billionaires being Rogers, Shaw, Thomson, Bitove and Peladeau who respectively own / control / influence:
✔️ Rogers media
✔️ Corus Entertainment
✔️ Globe & Mail, Bell Media, and
✔️ Thomson/Reuters
✔️ Toronto Star, and
✔️ Quebecer Media, including
✔️ Journal de Montreal

These are not “mainstream”, they’re all monied special interests with collective family wealth exceeding $100 billion. These interests plus US hedge fund Chatham Asset Management collectively own 85% of Canadian media, including TV and Radio stations of any significance. PostMedia alone is a big part of that.

Chatham controls PostMedia through a special two thirds ownership structure. Chatham also owns US media AMI / National Enquirer. The link from Chatham to Trump indirectly is David Pecker at AMI.

So it’s a Trump MAGA aligned, CPC propaganda operation ever since Harper approved this years ago. Pecker used to be on the PostMedia board and is Trump’s media man.

PostMedia is playing a big role in Trump’s 51st play. Which seems to be Harper’s Christian (Church) Reform Party’s end game. Yes that would be the so called CPC.

Yet, even worse, algorithm driven social media are viral distributors of the “Canadian” and foreign media too! They’re owned by mega billionaires, including Zuckerberg and Musk, with combined wealth measured now in trillions.

So media generated content is then filtered and run via social media algorithms geared to foreign influence, their own special interests and clickbait profits.

These players are likely first order CPC “owners”, funders and disinformation operatives, beyond their controlling interests in our media.

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms.

‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

We ALL must support First Nations Treaty Chiefs in their call for treason investigation into Premier Danielle Smith and UCP. This is the moment to fight for rights, sovereignty and dignity. Watch The OShow Canada’s Pro Democracy Podcast 🇨🇦 https://t.co/4pcEniHdHj #Cndpoli #Ableg

We are in the final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It now consumes public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.

Netanyahu will break this peace between the USA and Iran within the next few days and nobody will blame Israel but act like Iran has done something wrong.

Everyone knows this is going to happen.

[Hampton Institute @HamptonThink]

There's no bigger con than pretending to have democracy in an advanced capitalist empire. So all politicians and presidents in the US are technically con artists. Donald Trump just happens to be the greatest we've ever seen.

Stateside, a gas station. I drank a frozen blue beverage too quickly, and was struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows, and accepts, and has named.

The drink is called a slush. Ice, sweetness, and a blue that does not occur in nature. The day was hot. I was thirsty. I drank like a soldier at a river.

The pain arrived in my skull like a war horn.

Behind the eyes. Above everything. Total. I gripped the roof of my car. I may have made a sound.

"Brain freeze," said the cashier through the door, with no urgency whatsoever.

It has a NAME. The affliction is so common it has a household name, like a cousin.

"Tongue on the roof of your mouth," called a man at the pumps. He did not look over. He prescribed the remedy mid-pump, casually, the way one mentions weather.

I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The war horn faded. The healer nodded at his pump, finished, and was gone in a Chevrolet.

In my land, punishment follows crime by way of courts and seasons. Here, the sentence is instant. Drink with greed, and the ice strikes the mind directly. No trial. No appeal. Perfectly fair.

And here is what moves me. EVERYONE has felt it. The cashier. The healer. Children. Elders. An entire nation united by the same small lightning, all taught the same cure, all passing it on to strangers at gas stations, free of charge.

You cannot fully distrust a country once you know it shares one pain.

The freeze does not punish thirst. It punishes haste.

I finished the slush slowly, like a scholar. Blue tongue. Clear mind.

Then at the door I forgot everything, drank deeply, and was struck down again.

"Tongue, hon," said the cashier, without looking up.

Discipline is a journey.

No one earns a billion dollars. Billionaires exist because millions of workers are paid far less than the value they create. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a farmer, or a teacher. Stop glorifying wealth hoarders. They’re just professional wage thieves.

After spending months in the Epstein files, there’s nothing I can write without sounding maudlin. Our entire lifetime was a series of well orchestrated lies.
Americans who can reconcile and recalibrate have a chance of seeing this through. Resist denial. Resist complacency.

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

We must resist the normalization of mass death. I am asking you to look directly at what is happening in the world and call it what it is.
If we become comfortable with the suffering of others, we should not be surprised when that same indifference reaches our own doorstep.

Trump is not an accident. He is the product: oligarchy, racism, corporate media, Christian nationalism, police worship/militarization, and decades of politicians selling the public out.
