The Persons Case (1929) didn’t give Canadian women the vote. They’d already been voting federally for more than a decade by then.
If you’re gonna do performative feminism, do it better.
Our government will take action to ensure that events like Al Quds Day, which calls for the killing of an entire civilian population in Israel, are no longer part of the landscape in Ontario.
One of the main lessons of the 2021 Nova Scotia shootings were that RCMP failed to release accurate public warnings, causing additional victims to be unaware a mass shooter was at large. Five years later, and the first RCMP alerts in Tumbler Ridge were to watch out for a "female."
If a woman was going to arm herself with a firearm, kill her mother and her brother, and go to a school to shoot as many people as possible, she wouldn’t put on a fucking dress to do it. #CBC#RTE#BBCNews#newseditors#thinkbeforeyouwrite
#BREAKING: The person who carried out a school massacre is an 18-year-old woman with mental health issues, but she did not give a motive for one of the worst mass shootings in Canada's history. https://t.co/qOfSYsFDAw
Starmer has hit on a new technique: perform so badly & be so hated nationally that your cabinet cannot even depose you because it would trigger a general election in which they would all lose their seats.
🇬🇧 Britain spent forty percent of its annual budget on one thing 🇬🇧
Not the army. ❌ Not the navy. ❌
For Freedom.✅
1833 - Parliament faced a choice.
End slavery gradually let it fade out over decades.
Or end it now.
But “now” had a price. Slaveholders owned people. Legally. Under existing law, their property couldn’t just be taken.
The choice was simple. Pay them off. Or wait.
But every year of waiting meant people still in chains. Mothers. Fathers. Children.
Britain chose now. 👇 🇬🇧
Forty percent of the entire national budget. The largest loan in British history.
Who paid?
Not the slaveholders. They got paid.
Working people paid. Through taxes. For 182 years.
Your great-great-grandparents paid. Your grandparents paid. Your parents paid. Until 2015.
Maybe you paid the final instalment …
Not for empire. Not for power. For people eight thousand miles away they would never meet.
That’s what your ancestors thought freedom was worth. Forty percent of everything they had. 182 years of payments.
That’s your heritage.
Did they teach you that in school?
