Message from Ukraine: Thank you, Canada. For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse. You reminded us that we are not alone. Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world. And more like something worth staying alive for. substack.com/home/post/p-...

#CanadaVotes 🇨🇦 #ELXN45 - Research by "Canadian Centre For Policy Alternatives" examines why aren’t political parties talking about the rise in hate in Canada? www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... #ItsOurVote 🇨🇦 #CanadaIsNotStupid 🇨🇦 📢 A #UnitedCanada 🇨🇦 Is #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUpCanada💪

1/ UPDATED 🚨 40 Ways to Fight the Far-Right: Tactics for Community Activists in Canada The far-right has gained political power and must be stopped. After this election, the work to find allies and compete with the far-right for a more just and equitable future continues. 🧵 www.antihate.ca/40ways

Voted Yesterday at the early polls. It is unfortunate though that the Fascist Conservatives have a 90% chance of winning my Provincial Riding. Sucks to live in the ChristoFascist Bible Belt of British Columbia!

"The authoritarian takeover attempt is here" Great substack from @Noahpinion. I may never set foot in the US again. Ever. Anyone else feel the same? www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-author...

A vote for #Poilievre, the #CPC & their "Harper Economic Plan" spells disaster for 🇨🇦 AGAIN! Take a LOOK BACK to 2015: #cdnpoli #abpoli #skpoli #mbpoli #onpoli #2025Vote #CanadaSky #Alberta #NeverPoilievre #NeverVoteConservative #NoCPC #Election2025 pressprogress.ca/6_charts_sho...

Shameless. Coordinated. Predictable. Canadian far-right media is absolutely losing it over Mark Carney. Just look at this barrage of headlines, National Post, Toronto Sun, even the Globe & Mail. They’re terrified of a smart, competent leader. This isn’t journalism. And it reeks of desperation.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

No one should spend their whole adult life as a politician and not even pass a security clearance. He can’t be PM. He shouldn’t even be in the HoC. Let’s not only prevent him from being PM but let’s get him off the public teat for the first time in his life. #cdnpoli #elbowsup #election #NeverCPC

IDU 🇨🇦 Chairman Poilievre is a JD Vance wannabe. The IDU is a #conservative org with objective of installing authoritarian govts worldwide. Global chairman: Stephen Harper. #Project2025 is also a #Conservative movement in 🇩🇬 & 🇨🇦. #canpoli #NeverVoteCPC #CanadaStrong thetyee.ca/Opinion/2015...

Wow! This is big! And horrible! time.com/7266334/us-h...

The election is being called. Get set to be swamped in a toxic sea of hate and disinformation. This is the right wing playbook in action. Please check out my latest piece on the role Facebook has played in driving disinformation. charlieangus.substack.com/p/my-canadia...

Elbows up, Canada.

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE. These are not the actions of a democratic nation. This is the creep of fascism. I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt_q...

There are nightmare stories of people being pulled out of airport lines and being dragged off to ICE Detention centres. We are witnessing the implementation of "border fascism." Beware snowbirds and backpackers, you have become the blood threat to White MAGA. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

When there was a shitty job in the war it was given to the Canadians. We never flinched. As the US threatens us and allies like Britain duck, we know where we stand. Defending democracy might be a thankless job but give it to Canadians. We will get it done. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Canadians are now being detained by ICE, do not travel to 🇺🇸. #cdnpoli www.10news.com/news/local-n...

The fact that even American liberals are cracking jokes about the future of Canada rather than taking the fundamental threat the American right represents to Canadian and Mexican sovereignty is a datapoint for how far Canadians can't really rely on anyone in the United States

Trump is freaking because we are standing up to him. MAGA is spooked by our hockey slang (seriously). They ask us to "turn down the rhetoric" but accuse of us being as ungrateful as "Ukraine." Canada is Ukraine and Trump is a cheap Putin. Read my latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/canada-is-...

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies. We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war. A war THEY lost. We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice. J. D. can go lie on his couch. Canada is #elbowsup

My fb feed is full of ads from Conservative front groups ridiculing Canadians standing up to Trump. When I tried to purchase an ad taking on Pierre Poilievre FB said it didn't mean their community "standards." We know which side they are on. Please share this clip. www.youtube.com/shorts/Mf44P...

I needed this today...let's fuckin' go.

Elbows up! Poilievre will betray #Canada. In fact, PeePee is already betraying our Country.

Canadians should be aware that the PC's are operating according to the US Playbook called "Project 2025". It is a Project from the "Heritage Foundation", a Charles Koch organization. Koch's name is familiar to Albertans!! www.exposedbycmd.org/2025/02/14/g...

Pete Navarro claims the US will redraw our borders. Not in a million years. Ukraine is the forward trench in the fight for democracy. Canada is the second line. If Ukraine falls, Navarro, Trump and Putin will come for us. Canadians will never kiss the gangster ring. www.youtube.com/shorts/0nIZp...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: a dog would be a far, far better head of state for Canada than members of this utterly useless family.

It is a #ChristianNationalist movement - the fascist movement is growing globally with issues like same-sex marriage, #abortion, gender identity, #LGBTQ rights & religious freedom. #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative #neverpoilievre #CanadaSky #abpoli #Project2025 www.bchumanist.ca/the_rise_of_...

I got my politics from my Scottish granny. She wouldn't be surprised for a second that "King" Charles would throw us under the bus to placate Trump. I have enormous respect for our Governor-General. As for the tawdry family living in Buckingham Palace? Canada will defend our own interests.
