That’s the spirit and this is what is required in a true democracy, it can’t always be about you!

I don't get the GST credit.

My household makes too much to qualify for the Canada Child Benefit.

I've never used EI.

I can afford more than $10-a-day for child care.

But I support @JustinTrudeau & all these government programs because I'm not an asshole.

This is going to be a long tweet, and it’s not new news, but it’s new news to me, and I think it’s especially important for everyone, and especially those of you who support
the now indicted @realDonaldTrump to become acquainted with the class of people who worked for and promoted him during his tenure.
I would especially recommend this to those who consider yourselves Christians, lovers of God and of living a Christian life according to the Bible, common decency and the law.

The image below lists the names of people who were associated with him in his first campaign for the presidency and the crimes with which they have been charged.
I have personally checked every one of these, and will be posting the new stories associated with each of these individuals in tweets after this image. And after reading this – and I hope you do – I also hope you’ll examine your devotion to a known racist and grifter, among other things, in the light of the company he keeps. there’s nothing of coincidence involved when you have a list this long of people charged with child pornography and exploitation. And in my very humble opinion, if you can excuse this and still support the now indicted former president there is nothing of Christianity or decency about you.
I know some of you will probably immediately answer with denials, crude name-calling or whatever it is you feel is appropriate to post but I will ignore you until I am done posting the relevant information for each and everyone of these individuals that I have been able to find in the public record.

BREAKING:

[Tom Whittaker @whittakertp]

Economists have reported carbon pricing adds .08 cents on a $200 bag of groceries. It adds .14 cents per litre of fuel. Poilievre wants to scrap that (and your rebate) because he is ok with grocery store owners and the o&g industry to make $$B in profits & ignore climate change.

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Just listened to new Housing & Infrastructure @SeanFraser on @CBCTheHouse. He's 💯 right. People working hard deserve to have a roof over their head that's affordable. If anyone can get the job done with the provinces and cities, it's Fraser.

[Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian 🇨🇦 @PeterHRatcliffe]

I don't care if the CPC leader cheated to become leader of the CPC. That's a CPC problem.

What I do care about is that he used $37K of Canadian tax deductible political donations to pay the legal fees for a "whistle blower" who was proven to be wrong.

That's a Canada problem.

On January 6th they all told him he needed to call off his mob.

But instead he made things worse.

At 2:24 p.m. trump tweeted, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what was necessary” — instantly pouring gasoline on the already out of control mob inside and outside of the Capitol.

For the next 187 minutes, while Brian Sicknick & 150+ officers lost fingers & toes, suffered brain injuries, broken necks, broken arms & legs lost limbs, trump did nothing- trump refused to ask his violent mob of supporters to stand down.

trump wanted to remain in office. He didn’t care about democracy. He didn’t care about the will of the people.

This was an attempted coup.

January 6th was one of the darkest days in American history….

Ted Cruz, is complaining about Barbie, AM Radios, gas stoves and Sesame Street.

DeSantis is whining about Disney, drag shows, Bud and Judy Blume.

Republicans want you to be distracted by grievance and culture war nonsense so you don’t think about January 6th, the indictments, the co-conspirators and about what they are doing every day to make our lives worse.

Who else believes Pierre Poilievre paid Debbie Jodoin to lie about Patrick Brown, besides just paying her legal bills? Who else thinks there should be huge consequences for both of them for doing it?

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Ukrainian fencer, six-time world champion and eight-time European champion Olga Kharlan, defeated Russia's Olga Smirnova in the World Championships in Milan.

Harlan defeated Russia's Anna Smirnova 15:7. According to the regulations, at the end of the fight, athletes should shake hands. Ukrainian athlete refused to shake hands.

According to the rules of fencing, the fight is not considered finished until the handshake. There was no handshake, because instead of her hand, Olga Kharlan extended a rapier to her opponent: so that not to insult with your handshake the memory and honor of those who defend Ukraine from brutal aggression (this practice is also used at times during competitions).

Olga was disqualified.

In this video, Olga thanks everyone who supported her.

Olga's gesture was, in fact, symbolic of a new world order against the old rules that have lost all meaning.

The Russian athlete was also a symbol of the current Russia:

1. She performed under a "neutral" flag, but she herself is not "neutral" (her brother Nikita's Instagram has a photo of them together, where the athlete poses with the symbol of terrorism "V" and in a typical Russian military cap. Her brother himself is wearing the military uniform of the Russian army).

2. False victory. The disqualification of the real winner is not a victory, but an information war and a demonstration of the scale of the efforts, money and resources "Russian world" continues to invest in it with redoubled force.

3. By the way, the fencing association was chaired from 2008 to 2022 by Alisher Usmanov (Russian money, Russian lobby).

Disqualification for the Ukrainian champion is a huge sacrifice. But her own human disqualification would have been much more terrible.

Olga became another symbol of freedom and dignity of her country in the eyes of the world. This is a much more substantial victory.

The rule of the extended rapier is about not resorting to false handshakes, not maintaining discredited relationships, consciously or by inertia, but to extend the rapier at the slightest approach of the "Russian world."

If we pretend that the world has not changed and nothing is happening, evil will not be defeated!

@RGBAtlantica I’m hoping for a little goatee and cool shades!

[Tony Bogdan @hoganwaterloo]

@RGBAtlantica Awesome…thanks for this!

[@RGBAtlantica @RGBAtlantica]

@hoganwaterloo This is a handy chart, pass it around for the uninformed, even the trolls. 😁

[Tony Bogdan @hoganwaterloo]

@generalthemoon Great idea!
The NDP and the Liberals should extend this to multiple ridings across the country! Wherever the totals of these two parties in the last election would top the CPC, the distant third place party doesn’t run a candidate!
Progressives unite to stop the CPC insanity !

[Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian 🇨🇦 @PeterHRatcliffe]

The last three leaders of the CPC, have never had a cabinet to shuffle.

So, exactly how would they know a good shuffle from a bad shuffle or even when to shuffle?

I see their fear, and it is that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will stay and beat them in 2024. They act scared.

@RepublicnIdiots @mhdksafa You can close your eyes, but that doesn’t stop the light from shining!

[David Frum @davidfrum]

We're reaching the stage where, like the Apollo moon launch programs, we're going to need a numbering system to keep track of the crimes: impeachments 1 and 2, indictments 1, 2, 3; sexual assault settlements 1, 2, 3; fraud convictions 1, 2, 3 - etc.
