Hard truths will be the good medicine we need. Land Back, Re-Indigenize, collective liberation from the whims of the few.

You have an excellent way of explaining this, from both lived experience - and another word that escapes me. I appreciate the clarity, and the time you took to respond. I’ll remember what you said moving forward 😊
Thank you very much✊🏻

I’m here for the energy, the anger & the frustration are absolutely justified. But please don’t bring intellectual disabilities into arguments as a pejorative. We both know disabled folx of all kinds are astronomically more likely to be attacked by the state and its bootlickers. Love & solidarity ✊🏻

We’ve been collectively brainwashed from childbirth that kkkanada is a nice and good country. There’s no logic, reason or love in this country founded on genocides, resource extraction and eugenics. There’s no justice on these stolen lands, and no sustainability while profit is the goal.

Liberal supporters are the moderates that MLK warned everyone about.
Fuck ‘em.
All they want is the same genocide as the conservatives with none of the guilt.

Carney could stop blowing tens of billions per year on war, surveillance and corporations. And he could quit yammering about the golden dome too.

There’s *quite* a difference in (some, not all Indigenous peoples) being nomadic across lands for tens of thousands of years, and imposing a greedy, unsustainable, violent and destructive lifestyle on the hundreds of sovereign Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island.

Ableism and glorification of war criminals. Dang.

Around these parts, my fellow settlers don’t care to learn the injustices stemming from the Gunshot Treaty and subsequent Williams Treaties. The province and country kept denying hunting and fishing rights. It was only 2018 that Supreme Court ruled in favour of Indigenous peoples here.

If Kinew was serious about this, he’d halt all the industrialized resource extraction in Manitoba, Land Back and Re-Indigenize. Unfortunately, it seems he’s just maintaining status quo for the greedy few.

Not hilarious but honestly, kkkanada is and always has been a genocidal resource extraction conglomerate.

No. No more. We won’t mine our way to sustainability. The raw materials, refining processes, and people (and land) exploited along the way will never satisfy the greed of colonialism.

When I joined 20 years ago, I already thought we were spending too much money. And they really push the narrative of SAR/disaster response/peacekeeper narrative. The budget is 98% war, 2% humanitarian.
Straight up cult behaviour.

But in this system built by the wealthiest few, all you need is enough money for a good lawyer, and a lack of decency. Nobody will call you out publicly, and the system of laws and policing will defend your greed. Structurally, this country will always protect the profit.

Someone's intellectual property and name recognition was secondary to the drive for profit. Potato company guy could have reached out to Stompin' Tom, offered a percentage ownership and share of profits. There needn't have been a struggle by either party.

I'd just played the (maybe familiar to some) song on my way out that morning.
Me: 'Oh wow, he must have struck a deal with Stompin' Tom then!'
Guy: 'No, he started the company, Stompin' Tom sued him - and lost.'
He didn't laugh about it, nor did he seem proud of this in any way.

Like how both Liberals and Conservatives have controlled the narrative about kkkanada’s ongoing genocides and environmental destruction.

I used to believe kkkanada didn’t suck too. Those were the days of blissful ignorance.

It sounds like you’re doing some binary thinking. Like if I’m not a fan of Liberals, I must be a fan of ‘murica.
To be clear - ahem
kkkanada and amerikkka both suck.
They’re both founded on genocide, and both enslaved people.
They’re both playing big roles in environmental destruction.

Oh yay, more tens of billions for defence/surveillance/security industries while we can’t afford food. Fuckin’ way to go Murk.

We need search and rescue/disaster response. Unfortunately this scope of operations is super-low on kkkanada’s priority. Spies, jets, attack drones, two types of surveillance aircraft, and SOF? 💰💰💰

My MCpl did the same with a piece of liquid oxygen equipment, claiming that valves ‘didn’t need to be cooled down for cryogenic fluid transfers’.
They absolutely need to be cooled down, and liquid oxygen gets…explodey sometimes.

And quit throwing tens of billions per year at war, resource extraction, police, prisons, surveillance, drones, jets, warships.

If they quit blowing tens of billions per year on corporations, war, police, spies and surveillance, just imagine what could be done.
