A bright future is possible!!!

[Jemima Goldsmith @Jemima_Khan]

In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition to cutting off in- person visits, and in defiance of a court order, his weekly calls to his sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, who are British and who live in London, were stopped on 10th September. We have received reports that the authorities have now turned off the lights and electricity in his cell and he is no longer allowed to leave his cell at any time. The jail cook has been sent on leave. He is now completely isolated, in solitary confinement, literally in the dark, with no contact with the outside world. His lawyers are concerned about his safety and well-being.

These actions come in the context of ongoing targeting of Imran’s family, as well as his party (PTI) members and supporters in an attempt to silence them and all political opposition in Pakistan. Imran’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, a civilian, has been detained in military custody since August 2023. More recently, Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma and Aleema Khan, who have continued to speak out on his behalf, have also been arrested as they made their way peacefully to a demonstration and they are currently being held in jail, despite there being no proper or lawful basis for their imprisonment.

In June this year the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that Imran is unlawfully and arbitrarily detained and called for his immediate release.

 As a matter of urgency , we are calling for Imran Khan’s release, and for the release of his sisters and nephew as well as for his sons’ contact with their father to be re-established, so that they may have assurance first-hand that he is well and not being mistreated.

Finally, an honest report about decriminalizing drug use

[Andrea Reimer (she/her) @andreareimer]

I have loved being part of the team that has built this riding over 10 years from swing to strong for the @bcndp. Having @GeorgeHeyman's trust and confidence to continue that work is humbling, but this campaign has shown me that more than ever, I am ready. 🔥🙏🏽

Who does this remind you of? … drum roll ….Trump

[Time Capsule Tales @timecaptales]

Adolf Hitler was “a good patient,” according to his doctors. He was meticulously adherent to the regimen for his chronic sinusitis: cocaine in aerosol form.

Hitler’s drug use was of epic proportions. In addition to cocaine, the German Fuhrer also took amphetamines, sedatives, and hormones.

In his book Blitzed, German author Norman Ohler describes how the Third Reich was permeated with drugs, including cocaine, heroin and most notably crystal meth, which was used by everyone from soldiers to housewives and factory workers.

Ohler also says that Hitler, whose mental and physical health has been the source of much speculation, relied on daily injections of the “wonder drug” Eukodol, which puts the user in a state of euphoria – and often renders them incapable of making sound judgments.

Pretty sure that Canadians realize Poilievre is Trump without a tie

[Dan Knight @DanKnightMMA]

#BREAKING In a twist that could only be described as a delicious piece of poetic justice, the latest Nanos poll reveals a seismic shift in the political landscape of Canada. Pierre Poilievre, in a stunning display of political acumen, has surged to a commanding lead with 37% of Canadians favoring him as the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau, marred by scandal after scandal, seems to be plummeting in the court of public opinion, now favored by a mere 19%. It's almost as if Canadians are waking up to the realization that the charisma and the socks just don't cut it anymore. Trudeau, once the darling of the international stage with his flashy appearances and progressive platitudes, now finds himself trailing in the wake of Poilievre's straightforward, no-nonsense approach to governance.

@CreesonAgecouta So sorry to hear this. I really enjoy your journalism Creeson

@JoeFresh @cbcfifth i’m not gonna be buying any more Joe fresh clothes cause they pay the women who make them in Bangladesh less than $140/ month, who work six days a week sometimes 12 hours a day. Shame on you Galen Weston!

Donald Trump’s Whitehouse was on some heavy duty medication

You are so not with it Danielle #plastickillingtheplanet

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

When it comes to the plastics ban, Ottawa keeps ignoring the rule of law and reality- all in an effort to appease their extreme activist friends.

Alberta will continue intervening in the courts to ensure Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau follow the law.

[Brenda Leadlay @brendaleadlay]

@TheBreakdownAB That’s very unkind especially at this time of year

[Brenda Leadlay @brendaleadlay]

@ABDanielleSmith Growth and greed have created the climate mess we’re now in. It’s not the solution.

[Brenda Leadlay @brendaleadlay]

Young people in Canada are well aware of what plastic is doing to the earth. Maybe you should read about it

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Another humiliating defeat for Trudeau & his Environment Minister as their heavy-handed order to ban everyday plastics is ruled “unreasonable & unconstitutional.”

Conservatives will keep fighting dumb policies like these, take real common sense action to protect our environment & give Canadians the freedom of choice they deserve.

A leader who always blames others is not one I’d vote for

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The banking experts are now confirming what I've been saying for three years.

Trudeau's inflationary spending bid up the cost of goods and forced interest rates to skyrocket.

Cap spending. Cut waste. Bring down deficits, inflation & interest rates.

@CBCNews shame on you for reporting on Buffy st Marie’s heritage
It’s cruel and it isn’t good journalism

[Brenda Leadlay @brendaleadlay]

This is an abomination. This destructive practice has to stop.

[Tanya Talaga @TanyaTalaga]

This is all so harmful, hurts our communities, our aunties, our grandmas who adored her music and those who actually lived through the Scoop, foster system and adoption. Everyone will have their own feelings reading this. Please take care while doing so: https://t.co/cgEJXAYbHy
