Charlie, you're the best choice of politician I know of to face the threat from the south. You're grounded, smart, witty, decent, an excellent communicator. Your message resonates with people. I wish more people listened.

T minus 6 years and 9 days before NATO troops are in Arlington Virginia.

You’re a friggin classy OG Charlie! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is the kind of talk we need in a PM. Honest and raw. Just like Trump, except with honesty and integrity and love for Canadians. We need one leader to represent those of us left of fascism. Think about it, Charlie.

Pointing out the name "national socialism" without pointing out how they weaponized the word, though...Charlie you know how the red-scare people will take that. National health and housing are socialist policies. Corporations flock to a fascist. Ford, General Motors, Bosch, IBM, Westinghouse, etc

thefarshore.bsky.social•45 days ago

Poilievre uses the ‘Nazis were socialist-it’s in their name’ reactionary trope all the time.

terriclarke.bsky.social•45 days ago

How many modern day authoritarians use words like democratic in their party names?

May the United States not be an oxymoron.

Please reconsider your decision to retire. We need you.

I'm definitely stealing 'predatory shitbird' 🤣

Fascists succeed if you don't bash them into oblivion, preferably with your boots.

The end.

There WAS nothing inevitable about it until we voted in a fascist and gave him all three branches of our govt. Now however...

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•45 days ago

So please push for a formal coalition of the 4 non-fascist parties.

The Harper party of MAGAt wannabe Fascists are not Conservatives. I don't care what Harper's little pp is lying about this week, he will let Trump annex Canada. It is the Harper Party's dream come true to join the USA.

You need to run for Liberal leader.

Fascism 101: Create an "Other"; doesn't matter who. Mexicans, Mexico, undocumented immigrants, Canada, Greenland (!), Panama, Democrats, Ukraine, the West, the East... Create the "Other" and make your people rally around you as the True (Germans, Americans, Russians, Chinese etc.).

suestroud.bsky.social•44 days ago

💯

keddieff.bsky.social•44 days ago

& I really get concerned when that "othering" entails questioning the validity of our elections and the nonpartisan, publicly funded institution that overseas them.
That's what's happening in British Columbia right now (BC's opposition leader has mapleMAGA leanings...need I say more)

cbrellsky.bsky.social•45 days ago

Please don't leave Politics. We need you.

There’s a great article in the Atlantic, about how H. Destroyed Germany’s democracy in 53 days. Shocking.

Foreign owned media has got to go.

janiukf.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you for your post Charlie. How do we spread this message? How do we wake the sleeping giant? So many no longer vote and have completely disengaged. They don’t realize that the lack of engagement works in favour of those who would take our freedoms and way of life.

Can you run for the liberal party leader?!?!

In the Weimar period, people saw fat cats getting richer, the bourgeoisie no longer cared about disabled vets in the streets, nothing trickled down, leaders committed suicide...the discontent was similar to now and Hitler responded as populists do. He offered false hope and controlled the media.

Hubris is the great enabler of fascism. So many believed it "couldn't happen here" and refused to adjust their views when it very much was in the process of happening here. They called us paranoid and negative. Now it is happening here. We're still fighting, but history shows how quick the slide is.

damda1.bsky.social•45 days ago

And how quick the correction (normally dissolution of the state) is

rebelliousresource.bsky.social•45 days ago

The Constitution and government framework we have now is not the one we will have in 20 years. I cannot say whether the new one will be better or worse. I can only tell you it will change.

damda1.bsky.social•45 days ago

It most definitely will. I guarantee it.

mairesiobhan44.bsky.social•45 days ago

Don’t retire Charlie!

WE also need to remove X and Starlink from Canada, imo.

No one working against Canadian sovereignty should benefit from Canada. Close the border like with Covid and move to a visa system until our sovereignty is no longer threatened.
