Doug Ford's Bill 5 will override Indigenous rights to force risky developments on traditional territories. The people of Treaty 9 will stand up to defend the land. Doug the grifter is about to taught a basic lesson in Canadian history.

Why we resist - Canadians are standing up to the gangster regime. Please watch and share this speech on defending our borders, boycotting the United States and standing up for the rule of law. #elbowsup www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5HH...

I was honoured to be in Picton to speak about resistance to tyranny. The @pictongazette.bsky.social is the oldest weekly newspaper in Canada. Local/independent voices are vital in fighting the disinformation bots trying to break our country. #elbowsup www.pictongazette.ca/post/this-is...

Donald Trump says "never say never" when it comes to taking over our country. That ain't ever going to happen. The beautiful town of Kingston faced down Yankee gunships with local militias. We will never kiss the gangster ring. True. North. Strong. Free. www.youtube.com/shorts/2aimk...

Pierre Poilievre lost his seat and yet he refuses to leave the 19 room mansion that comes with a chef and groundskeepers - all paid for by the taxpayer. It is for the leader of the opposition "who is in Parliament." A grifter is going to grift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ZH...
