For the very few Canadians who want to be American, move to America. Don’t try to drag everyone else into this mess with you.

1812 got nothin’ on this

Another win for freedom

Perfect

It’s fascinating how social media platforms remove a “downvote button” effectively removing both social shame AND evidence that fascist propaganda is extremely disliked. Instead we get comments sections that drive engagement, giving rise to exposure of harmful attitudes that fracture our society.

Did Russia score? 🏒

There’s only one King and his name is Ash Williams.

From an outside perspective it looks like the end of a free and law-based USA. And it’s happening swiftly, easily, and with no substantial pushback. You could say it’s history in the making but it feels more like the end of history.

This may be one of the most dangerous things a United States President has ever said. Social Democracy relies on the rule of law. Fascists rely on their own laws, and those laws are bent toward injustice.

Now that I have an official political account here please consider following: @aaronpaquette.bsky.social

Canada made zero meaningful concessions. All of this besides the words “terrorist” and “fentanyl Czar” already existed. We’ll see what happens in 30 days but no level of government should be sitting on their hands or sending Musk their money. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Economic destabilization -> Recession -> Depression -> Liquidation -> Kleptocracy. That’s on this fiscal side. The political side is more division and less cooperation amongst Western allies which means a weakened opposition to fascism and oligarchies.

Statement from Councillor Paquette on U.S. Tariffs: #TARIFFS 🇨🇦 #yegcc #ableg #cdnpoli

Empathy is the foundation of our social structures and is the stability of civilization. It’s the underpinning of being a social human being. It is no surprise that those who would subvert our society would mount a direct attack on empathy.

The City of Edmonton should be evaluating its use of media and social media, as should all Councillors, in my personal opinion. I know I am thinking deeply about this.

🧵 Again, thank you everyone for your kindness. As part of my personal journey, I spent some time during these days thinking about a better world. I began writing it out but every time I was halted. The challenges of the unravelling world we see held me up. So I reversed it.

Thank you.
