Pressure grows on Boris Johnson as aides quit and finance minister criticizes him https://t.co/9efrkjiFJf

When @Sandela and I call for The Left to do something, we aren't talking to you, individual, necessarily. We are usually talking about mobilizing the structures of the institutional left into doing something.

Instead, we have progressive city councilors calling for more cops.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

(And folks -- I cannot stress this enough -- that is a totally and entirely fucking obvious dead end).

The good news is that they're still there. There's still time. Come on labour, be relevant!

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

Here's a 🧵 before I log off for the rest of the afternoon and eventually head down to check out the installations set up for the truck convoy that's promised to arrive today.

What we are seeing in Ottawa is a fascist tactic, aided by police. And so I ask --- where is labour?

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

To the few people telling me that it is violence to have tweeted this thread, heres the kind of action I'm talking about. Not throwing yourself in front of an oncoming truck (I mean, obviously). https://t.co/fb2tIagTZR

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

Besides -- we have to take cues from the way power is behaving. If police actually thought that these guys had guns, they would be intervening differently because there'd be some convoy people who wouldn't likely hesitate to shoot police.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

I think that the real danger is in scaring the hell out of people from going outside and taking back their city (in whatever form that might look like) and that it's mostly thanks to cops and politicians using fear to control the crowd.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

I think that leftwing people need to be very skeptical of such claims. At almost a week, there's been no guns brandished, nothing shot -- the vandalism seems to have been committed with bricks or rocks or whatever.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

I've seen from a few people that there's a belief that the truckers in Ottawa have guns.

From the start, Ottawa Police played up how dangerous these guys were to both justify police inaction, and scare people out of counter-protesting. A very effective tactic!

It seems we need a reminder again, for Ottawa and all the other nazis out pretending to be normal white canadians this weekend, all over the country. #OttawaOccupation #cdnpoli #bcpoli

@jjhorgan Why are BC govt websites so inadequate in this #BCwildfires crisis? Scant info, un-updated, or actually down (DriveBC today, twice). Perhaps it's because you pour money into #SiteC & fossil fuel subsidies? Only sites of value: NASA, Twitter, First Nations & regional districts.

Where is he? Why isn't he here? Is he in BC?

NEW - Statement from John Horhan's office - "While spending time with his family away from the office, Premier Horgan has been briefed daily – sometimes several times a day – on the important issues and crises facing British Columbians. He will be back on Thursday." #bcpoli

The blueprint for free public transit exists, and the environmental, social, and economic benefits are clear. A growing movement says it’s time for Canada to hop on board.

@comradebestie @chrisalecanada Like why is this even done by countries when it's corporations who do most of the carbon shit

First Nations students told #RCMP that John Furlong abused them. Their investigation was racist and favoured the powerful white man. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is listening.

@barbjustason And the Columbus thing

Like how long will it take enough of us to realize that Columbia is from that, and while even Americans are getting rid of Columbus Day more and more
Cuz racism etc
We keep it as our actual name

[Marc Heigl - foe of ALL fossil fuel politicians @marcbakes]

@barbjustason Still need to get rid of the monarchy thing tho

[Marc Heigl - foe of ALL fossil fuel politicians @marcbakes]

@leadnowca Literally how many of those candidates are there

0 liberals
0 conservatives
Maybe what like 5 ndp but none of them call out Horgan
How many greens will be market lover capitalists who want to buy carbon creditors

I hope you start a list
