Trump is waging an economic war on Canada. He’s banking on chaos and division to help him win.
But we will face this moment with solidarity. We will mobilize our workers to defend our jobs, our communities and our future.
Canada will win.
America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.
With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.
If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
@Miss604 I’ve had great experience with Mainland Hearing at Burrard & Davie. The person I deal with starts at 7am (3 days/week I think) & says they are often available for their earliest appointments
Started in the US.. adopted by the cons in Ottawa.. travelled to berta via UCP & now has spread in #bcpoli thanks to the BC cons. Welcome to the era of #cndpoli . 🤷🏽♀️🤯😵💫
@maxfawcett@vancolour I don’t recall any “the election was fraudulent” #bcpoli tweets in 2013 (surprising result), 2017 (a tie) and 2020 (loads of mail-in ballots).
Something that began in Washington, DC, on the night of Nov. 3, 2020, and culminated on Jan. 6, 2021, helps explain the difference.
Good thread. 🧵
From a person who knows.
From a person with experience.
From a person who won’t let partisanship get in the way of reality.
The kind of thread we need more of in #bcpoli. 🧵
