@northofbordr I agree with that, of course. Can you agree that Israel has become a terrorist state, funded and armed by the U.S and its allies? Can you agree that both of those attacks were instances of imperial blowback, as described by the CIA?
Quick reminder: All the fancy pundits and politicians on your TV talking only about Hasan Piker and not about the affordability crisis are millionaires who are so rich they don’t have to worry about rent increases, medical bills, electricity prices or the cost of groceries.
🚨NEWS: Mike Rogers is positioned to be personally enriched by the data center and AI buildout that he has touted and that he could accelerate if he wins Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, according to financial records reviewed by @LeverNews.
@CowtownCanadian@TorontoStar An obvious typo dumbass. Go back to the school yard where you belong….oh wait, I shouldn’t say that. You seem to be a Trump supporter so you might take it literally.
@TorontoStar So, since CBC has removed the terrorism restriction, maybe they can give some air time to this UN report? You know, the one that deals with the IDF specifically targeting CHILDREN. What’s good for the goose, right?

American tech companies were always going to side with the regime. These spineless dweebs will roll along with any administration, no matter how heinous it gets.
@MarkMilke The inevitably of civilian casualties in war raises deeply moral questions. We should be brave enough to examine them, but smart enough to still be wary of our judgments. That is at the core of my thinking. Please do not assume you know where I end up. You don’t.
@northofbordr You argue that I am “in favour of hiding the truth to control the narrative”. Selectively reporting on terrorism against power while omitting reporting of terrorism against occupied or otherwise oppressed groups IS hiding the truth to control the narrative, by omission.
A little boy in Gaza just ripped his own kite to shreds with his bare hands.
Not because it tore in the wind.
Not because he outgrew it.
But because the mighty Israeli military—heroically defending itself against the existential threat of… children’s kites—declared them a “security risk.”
Yes, you heard that right. Paper, sticks, and string. Truly the peak of modern warfare. Who needs Iron Dome when you can classify a six-year-old’s toy as a potential terrorist weapon? Bravo. Peak strategic brilliance.
He stood there in the rubble, quietly destroying the last bit of sky he was allowed to claim, because even joy has to be pre-approved by the occupation.
How generous of them to protect the world from the terrifying possibility of Palestinian children having five minutes of freedom above the ruins.
This is what it looks like when an entire people are denied not only land and dignity, but even the right to be children—while their oppressors congratulate themselves for neutralising the kite menace.
Free Palestine.
Free every child who should be flying kites instead of being forced to tear them up so the “most moral army in the world” can sleep easier.
@DABailey62@gator_gum The Liberals weaponize strategic voting l refuse to be a tool in that game. We need proportional representation to get by out of this electoral loop. The NDP are the only ones who will change the system.
2/2 Right now Carney is infinitely better than Pollievre, but I question the long term consequences. If Pollievre were PM, he would (rightly) be getting pushback for all of the crappy things he would undoubtedly try to do. Instead, we have Carney who has cobbled together a majority with conservative floor crosses, thrown out climate commitments (even using courts to do this when necessary), infringed on indigenous rights, doubled down on oil pipelines (which will saddle taxpayer with debt and likely won’t break even for 30 years), proposed changes to legislation which is inconvenient (such as exemptions to the species at risk act with interfere with the TMX pipeline which raises the risk of extinction for the Southern Residrnt Orca population, eroded freedom of speech with Bill C-9, Bill C-22, and the Online Harms Act, has expressed support for AI and data centres, told Canadians we need to be less dependent on the U.S while simultaneously awarding defence contracts to American companies, and ignores the loophole which allows Canadian weapons to be used in Gaza via the US…. and I’m just getting started.
My fear, is that all these things will breed discontent. So in a couple of election cycles, people might vote conservatives again because they’re fed up. By then the conservatives could be a much further right party than they are now. Pollievre is unpopular within his party and there’s an effort to get them out. What if he gets replaced with someone like Jamil Jivani?
Donald Trump didn’t get elected because Americans are stupid. He got elected because they were fed up with a Democratic Party who repeatedly disappointed them. I see Carney like Obama, he is very popular and people are putting their hoping and trust in him. If he doesn’t deliver, we may end up with our own Trump following his tenure. And he has empowered the PM‘s office anyways that his ultimate successor will also benefit from.
@DABailey62@gator_gum 1/1 The liberals have been using the fear of conservatives to get elected for the history of this country. In my opinion, the current Liberal party is not very different from the centrist corporate Democrats in the U.S. They don’t prioritize the material well-being of Canadians
But Ford blamed students and accused them of abusing OSAP all while members of his own conservative cabinet were enjoying luxury hotels, steak, and lobster.
I hope voters never forget.

Stereotypes about the Middle East are so bad that Westerners actually think women in Lebanon and Syria aren't allowed to go out for girls' night and party. Beirut is a normal place. Damascus is a normal place.
Serious question to every mainstream news network and newspaper in this country: how can you justify crazy obsessive coverage of Hasan Piker and just totally ignore much worse stuff like this from an actual presidential adviser?
