I never - I mean NEVER - sign petitions. It comes from ~40 years of being a journalist at CBC. But I retired from the National Public Broadcaster. And I signed this petition. I endorse it unreservedly. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Even when The Globe manages to blurt out the right answer in a True/False quiz, it misses the point entirely. Calling Musk “a close political ally and benefactor of the mercurial Mr. Trump” is like calling Goebbels a poker buddy of Hitler. Musk is a drug-addicted, vindictive lying fascist.

Canada needs to ban Starlink - and provide a PUBLIC, Canadian alternative, NOW! Any dependence on Elon Musk is a clear danger to our national security.

Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.

I grew up in an era when the weirdest thing a man with too much money could do, was become a recluse and save his urine and finger nail clippings in mason jars. Remember that? Now they’re fascists. Fucking mentally ill, delusional psychopathic fascists.

Any elected leader who does not firmly, forcefully and unconditionally disavow any support from or business with Elon Musk, should be considered a fascist sympathizer. Pinning someone like Poilievre for his reliance on that shit stain psychopath, is the only thing I want from journalists rn.

The article that made every woman who believes other women understand exactly who Musk was back in 2010 and this was all predictable.

Is it fascism yet? How ‘bout now? How about…now? If you think putting loyalists in every single top position at the Pentagon is about Trump getting that parade he’s always wanted, you need to wake up. Mark Zuckerberg has a 5000 sq ft bunker in Hawaii. Musk has enough $ (he thinks) to escape.

The red-hat-wearing mouth breathers would have turned all of DC into blood and ash on January 21 if it’d been a Democrat president just doing her job. But the fascists demonstrate an increasing psychopathy and tolerance for ketamine, and most of the country it is, “Trust the plan”.

Imagine you had the temperment of a toddler, and the propensity to lie as easily as one. Now remove all worry or concern of being caught, let alone punished. Add unlimited resources, more than any human in history. Now, erase any trace of empathy. This is Elon Musk, American fascist.

America: this is who’s running the country (for himself): a drug-addicted sociopath, soaked in ketamine to the point he can’t speak. Congratulations, America. Your Führer is already in his incoherent -bunker-stage.

Look. They are fascists. Musk. Trump. This walking hemorrhoid. And anyone who tries to minimize, rationalize, excuse or sidestep this flaunting of a shameless embrace of the most degenerate psychopaths in modern history, is a filthy fucking fascist as well.

A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.

Put aside the fact that someone as careless, vindictive, hateful and malevolent as Musk is the de facto head of the US government, now a fascist regime. But would you get into a spacecraft Musk had ANYTHING to do with? Do you think he values human life when he talks like this to an astronaut?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

"A war criminal and a convicted felon are deciding the future of Ukraine. If we are silent in allowing Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to carve up Ukraine it is a repeat of Munich 1938. We cannot allow this to happen.” - Charlie Angus, NATO meetings Brussels www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_hq...

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Trump proving beyond a doubt he is working for Russia, is now openly attacking Zelenskyy and Ukraine after failing to blackmail them for trillions of dollars. Everyday Trump is president is a 100 years of shame and embarrassment for the United States.

In August 2023, Meta blocked access to news on Facebook and Instagram for users in Canada in response to the federal government’s Online News Act. The move is one of many that have snuffed out local journalism in communities across the country. thewalrus.ca/local-news-is-dy...

Poilievre thinks the independent parliamentary press gallery should be FORCED to admit a propaganda site that sells Trump merchandise: “ “there’s no reason why it should be a small cabal of government approved mouthpieces,” Poilievre said.” Guy who opposes “state media” imposes state media.

I had the unhappy obligation as a journalist to report on the things this feeble-minded little man said and did when some of his own MPs felt so strongly that he was illegitimate and they publicly sat as dissidents in parliament. So this fever dream worship of a fascist absolutely tracks.

Many people are asking why RFK Jr. talked about the sperm count of young boys in his opening address to HHS and I do not have a good answer for that.
