We need to ensure that in protecting our country we protect what's actually good about it, and one of those things is the sanctity of citizenship. This proposed law is in the vein of the Patriot Act after 9/11. Rights encroachment in the name of security is the tool of the enemy. - ThreadSky

Right wing extremists have made gains by giving a scapegoat to the fact that everyone can plainly see: most peoples' lives have gotten steadily and measurably worse over the last 20 years. Everything is much more expensive, services are worse, wages have not made adequate gains, and so on.

They've been able to spread this scapegoating through early movements like Stormfront occupying 4chan, but also later movements like abusing social media algorithms favouring outrageous content. For their part, foreign social media companies have actively courted and encouraged it for profitability.

As such, I signed this petition today, in favour of banning Twitter in Canada, and I encourage you to do the same. The criminality and foreign interference of this hostile-controlled propaganda machine cannot be ignored. https://you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ban-x-twitter-in-canada

Hmm, not sure what's going on there. It works for me. Maybe this will work for you?

I also support trying Musk for treason, if the state can gather enough evidence. That would do far more than stripping a citizenship he can live without, and would not set a harmful precedent for hurting our own people.

Endangering the citizenship of our people is not something I will ever support.

This is a smart assessment! (whole thread)
