if you're having a rough day just remember that Pierre Poilievre lost the Canadian election and his seat in Parliament yesterday entirely because of Donald Trump

The most obvious linguistic contortion is the abuse of the term "antisemitism" to provide protection for Zionism and Israel. Zionism is definitely not Judaism. Zionism is real antisemitism in the pursuit of imperialism and right wing nationalism.

Liberalism focuses its entire attention on legal and civil rights, completely ignoring bread and butter economic rights; in doing so it enables the corporations to rob us all blind and creates the alienation and desperation that reactionary fascism thrives on

The truth is the election shows that Canada is incredibly conservative and right wing. “Lefts” will have to tell a better and more persuasive story if Canada is to survive not tipping over into authoritarianism next election. That is the story today for me.

A PhD economist as the Prime Minister of Canada: "So I'm going to govern in econometrics"

Good: * Poilievre isn't Prime Minister. * Poilevre lost his own seat. Bad: * Everything has shifted substantially rightward. * 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons. * Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right. * Left leaning parties wiped out.

The big picture isn't looking good. Yes, this result is far less bad than it was going to be, but everything is moving rightward. Trumpism doesn't come out of the blue, it is the culmination of ratcheting farther and farther right over many years.

I'm relieved by the results of the Canadian election, but something I desperately need more progressive Canadians to understand is that the attitudes we're trying to keep out of office don't just go away when the figureheads don't win elections. This is where the real work begins. 🧵

If the CPC lose this election I think it’s time to break up that party and get it back to its two original forms. The Progressive Conservative Party and the Me, Me, Me Party.

Poilievre doesn’t even know his own constituency’s boundaries. This is the second time of this campaign he’s holding a rally not in the constituency he thought he was in. Dumbest politician ever elected in Canada. Thankfully, Bruce Fanjoy 🇨🇦 will bring real change to Carleton. #cdnpoli

As a bold, contrarian heterodox intellectual unafraid to tackle the pieties of political correctness and the suffocating conformity of woke culture head-on, I'm willing to say it, even if everyone else is scared to: It is in fact OK to morally judge people by their beliefs and actions.

It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting. But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy. How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?
