If Canada has #elbowsup to protect us from Trump et al, do not vote in a mini-Trump.

See above.

Canada isn’t immune. We could be in trouble if we let the Conservatives win.

This CBC piece confirms that exactly. First time voters in Fed election as a Canadian citizen intended to vote con and even if she changes her mind after the debate,there are thousands like her.

She doesn’t know our history and what the last Conservative govt did to Canada.

gyp5y.bsky.social•8 days ago

Somehow I doubt knowing it would make a difference.

maryfernando.bsky.social•8 days ago

Or it might make all the difference- we need to talk about the dangers of a Conservative govt.

I would've liked for the interviewer to have asked her why she intended to vote conservative. Maybe that wasn't the focus of the story but it's disappointing.

Big trouble; he’ll hand your country over to Trump in a Big Mac box

maryfernando.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes.

I remember downloading research papers, projects, studies and guidelines, to preserve them before deletion, on government websites. It wasn't just fisheries. It was from many ministries: environment, health, energy, and so on.

Thank you. They were an antiscience govt.

Yup. To them Canada was about sticks and stones (lumber and minerals) and the rest of the world could reap the benefits. And they want to do it again.

This election has the vibe of the first time Trudeau won. Love & Positivity will defeat Hate & Negativity again. 🍁💪

So could we unfortunately

I remember when elections were not such sources of profound cratering anxiety

maryfernando.bsky.social•8 days ago

So true. The rise of extremism is a worldwide problem. Rather than pretend the United States is unique we should all use them as a cautionary tale about what could happen in any country if we don’t fight it.

an-leavy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Absolutely

Historians pushing the sonderweg argument believed Germany’s “special path” of development lead to Hitlerism - how else to explain profound democratic dissolution in a modern country

It wasn’t special- the path is one any country can hurtle down
